Hosts have seen to every detail. Perfect for families and a great spot in the enclave of Carillon Beach.

Amazing location, house and owners
We stay at Carillon every year and this property was a great location (very close to walk over to the beach). The house was great and we had everything we needed for cooking! The pool was great for after we came back from the beach. The owners were very attentive to make sure we enjoyed our stay. It was an amazing week!

An Unforgettable Stay at Livin’ the Dream
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Livin' The Dream beach house at Carillon Beach for the 2nd time, and it was truly a dream come true for our family of 10.
The house was not only clean but also well equipped to cater to all our needs during our beach vacation. Our stay was hassle-free and allowed us to focus on creating lasting memories with our loved ones. Melody is a fantastic and attentive host.
We recommend renting a golf cart to explore the Carillon Beach Community - our "night rides" were a highlight for the kids each night and it was so fun to get ice cream each night at the Little Beach Cafe.
We were lucky enough to be there during the 4th of July parade and summer concert series, which added an extra layer of excitement to our stay. It was a fantastic way to celebrate the holiday and create lasting memories with our family.
We highly recommend this beach house to anyone seeking a remarkable vacation experience.

We will be back!
We have been renting vacation properties for over 25 years, and Living the Dream has definitely been our favorite rental! Melody is an absolute dream to work with! She was wonderful with communication, and it was obvious she wanted us to have a great time! The home has everything you could possibly need… every small appliance to beautiful linens/towels and plenty of rolled beach towels! Melody and Randy’s home is beautifully decorated. It’s even prettier in person than the online pictures. It sits on a quiet street in Carillon and is so close to the beach walkover. This is the first time we have not stayed beachfront, and I have to say we didn’t miss it at all! The kids loved playing in the ocean as well as the pool at the house. The hot tub was a nice addition as well. The pool house is adorable and well-furnished, too! Our son had the place to himself and thoroughly enjoyed the extra privacy! Thank you Melody and Randy for sharing your beautiful home! We felt right at home and plan to be back again!!

Fantastic, multi area property.
Fantastic house with very responsive hosts. The pool is great, easy walk to the uncrowded beach. The neighborhood is extremely safe. Using both houses on this property allowed some space for quiet or work, napping or loud game playing. We would love to return again.

Exceptional property
This was a once in a lifetime trip for me and my family to spend a week together that would otherwise be impossible. Family came from NY, Missouri, Alabama and Georgia to the most beautiful beach in the world. The house was large enough to accommodate the crowd of 13 in absolute luxury. From the well equipped kitchen (and I do mean well equipped with coffee makers, griddles, instapot and the list goes on) to the comfortable beds there wasn't anything that wasn't first class. The proximity to the beach and shopping is a definite plus. I can't find enough adjectives to do it justice but encourage anyone looking for an exceptional place to vacation to consider this property.

Simply the best!
Our family of 10 has just returned home from Carillon Beach and our stay at Livin’ the Dream - we have already rebooked for next year and can’t wait to go back! The home is gorgeous and was the perfect size for our family! Melody was so helpful and kind throughout our stay and we feel so lucky that we had an opportunity to enjoy this beautiful home with all of our family! Our favorite memories were our evenings spent on the front porch! Counting down the days for our next stay!

We couldn’t have asked for a better home for our large family get together. This home had everything we needed…we barely even left the property! Spent our mornings at the beach and the afternoons lounging by the beautiful pool. The kids, the teenagers, and the adults all had a perfect vacation! Melody and Randy were so accommodating and easy to communicate with. We can’t thank you enough for the incredible memories!

The Best!!
We’ve stayed at Carillon more times than I can count over the past 20 years. This property exceeded all expectations. and was a family favorite. The owners have paid attention to each detail and provided an atmosphere that was beautiful, trendy, hi tech, efficient and welcoming. Everything we could possibly need was there. It was a short walk to the beach and the pool was a welcome relief at the end of a hot day. I admit to being a little OCD, but I had my confirmation that it was clean when I put on my white golf socks and they didn’t get dirty as I walked through the house! We’re hoping to return again. Thank you Melody and Randy for opening your home so our family could make some lasting memories.

Beautiful property-perfect for multi-generations
Great location close to beach walkover. Home has high end furnishings and finishes. Main house, pool and guest house were perfect for elderly with large bedroom on main level and 3 bedrooms on 2nd level. Carriage house has full kitchen and two bedrooms which was perfect for my niece and 3 children under 4! I highly recommend this property and owner Melody was so responsive and helpful. You will not be disappointed.

Spectacular property - great indoor and outdoor space
This is a gem of a property and in a quieter community than Rosemary or Alys Beach - just steps off the gulf, so you don’t have to deal with the wind. The private pool and hot tub are fantastic - we had no need to use any of the community pool areas. The property is as good (maybe better) than the pictures on VRBO and is immaculate, well stocked, and overall a great vibe. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which was great for our multigenerational family. We mostly used the pool house as a breakfast area for those up early and beverage center for the night owls. Nice seating area in the dining room to accommodate everyone - and great front porch for lunches or lounging. BEST vacation rental we have stayed in - almost don’t want to tell others about it, it is that great. We will be back!

Super clean, gorgeous home, attentive hosts
We really loved staying at this property -- it was very clean. Like, sit-in-the-bathtub, put-your-clothes-in-the-drawers, no dust on the woodwork clean. It made us feel very comfortable with 2 children under 3. The house was well sized with ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom. The beds, sheets, towels, etc were nice, like the kind you would have in your own house, not a rental house. The location to the beach was amazing -- just a half a block away.
We had some issues with the spa heating which we had paid for. The owners were very attentive to it, had someone come out twice and were checking in with us frequently. You could feel they truly cared that our experience was excellent. Given the issues and inconsistency of getting the spa heated, they refunded the payment before I even asked. Things will go wrong, but how they are addressed and how you are treated can make all the difference and the way they handled it did. The neighborhood is good, a bit unkempt in some areas but had everything we needed. I would go back to this property for sure.

Wonderful home and location!
Our family group of 9 loved this home and the carriage house. Lots of privacy. We really enjoyed the pool and spent a lot of time in it. The home is equipped well and the thermador stove was a dream to cook on. It’s just 5 minute walk to the beach. We felt safe in the gated community. Carillon amenities are nice, especially with food options just a few minutes from the house. It’s close to a grocery and easy access to 30A and Panama City. Great communication with the owner. You’ll love it!

Beautiful Property
Our family of 14 (7 adults and 7 children - ages 1-12) had an amazing stay at Livin’ The Dream. The layout of the main house and carriage house were perfect. The walk to the beach is only 1-2 minutes and the pool and hot tub worked out perfect during naps and when a break from the beach was needed. The owners have thoroughly thought through all scenarios and things guests would need - a highlight of the items that came in very helpful to us; large ice machine, crib room, washer/dryer in both main house and carriage house, outdoor shower to remove excess sand, smart TVs, luxury towels for hair and face. There literally was nothing more we could have asked for and to top it all off the home is immaculate and gorgeous! Thank you Melody and Randy for being so helpful, accommodating and quick to reply to all our many questions!

Another Wonderful Carillon Beach Trip
This house worked great for our family of 11 with 3 tag along teens. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking any meal including a very nice gas grill by the pool. The younger boys enjoy riding their bikes around the neighborhood while the older boys love the basketball court. I personally enjoy the quite early morning walks around the gated property to start my day. The beach is not crowded with plenty of room for beach games. After a day on the wonderful beach which is just a short walk from the house the pool was a great way to finish off the day. Melody was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any question or need we had on our stay. We have been going to Florida beaches for 25 + years and this is one of the best houses yet with everything you will need to have a great week at the beach.

Perfection Attaimed
Our family of 9 just ended our beach vacation at Carillion. We stayed at Livin’ the Dream and Poolside Paradise which exceeded all expectations. We usually cook at home and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some. There is even an ice cream maker which we gladly made use of even though the children prefer the ice cream at the Little Cafe. The house is beautifully decorated and we particularly enjoyed the outdoor furniture both in the back yard and front porch. The owner is meticulous on details and communication throughout the booking and stay. The house has many amenities to tout; however, one that is often overlooked unless there is a problem is housekeeping. The house was immaculate which is hard to do even in my own home. Kudos to the cleaning crew and pool cleaners.

Great family beach getaway
This is a fantastic house located steps from the beach in a great neighborhood. The only thing better than the house is the host, Melody, who was able to answer all of our questions and make sure everything was perfect when we arrived. We had fours kids under 5 in our group and the house is well equipped for kids. The private pool was also a huge hit!

Spring Break Spectacular
First vacation with extended family since Covid lockdown began. It truly was dreamy staying at this property. Melody is so unbelievably kind and was immediately responsive to any question we had. First time I’ve been to the beach where cloudy weather didn’t get me down. The pool and hot tub provided a way to continue having fun regardless of weather. So much space to be together but still find autonomy when needed. I can’t say enough wonderful things about how stocked the kitchen is with top of the line appliances. I love to cook and this kitchen is every chef or wannabe chef’s dream. Can’t wait to return

Great location and floor plan. 1 min. walk to beach (with reserved beach lounge chairs); 2 min. to restaurants. Pool/spa perfect for post-beach relaxation. Melody has thought of everything your family/group needs. Highly recommend this gated community and beautiful beach that is quiet and uncrowded -- a welcome change from Rosemary and other nearby communities that have sadly now been overbuilt.

この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The beach within steps of this property has been a favorite of our family for over 30 years. It's sands have carried us from honeymoon, babymoon, anniversaries, to daughter and son-in-loves to grandkids and toward retirement. With a growing family and cherished friends we have dreamed of a beautifully designed family vacation home where there is comfortable room and space for everyone on what we believe is one of nature's most beautiful coasts. In 2018, after a family beach trip returning to the area, our dream was realized and Livin' The Dream was established. We have tried to create a fresh "rarely found" experience to share with family, friends and special guests.
この宿泊施設の特徴
All registered guests at "Livin' The Dream" enjoy the privileges of Carillon Beach amenities such as gated and secured access, the beachside pool, heated children's pool and garden pool, playground, basketball court, tennis court and special seasonal community events like holiday celebrations, movie nights and concerts on the green.
