We had a fabulous time!!! We have been coming to Northwest Florida area for 29 years with our family. This house was in the top 3 of best homes we have stayed in, but it is #1 for their management. Owner Ken, and manager, Helen saw to our every need within minutes of contacting them before, during, and after our trip. Anyone who rents homes knows it is VERY important to have good management. We absolutely loved this house & went ahead and reserved it for next year.
It was plenty big for our party of 10 adults. The view was breathtaking off the balcony's. The kitchen had everything you could need. I brought a bunch of stuff from home like sharp knives, extra skillet, spices, etc. and didn't need any of it. The Keurig was a bonus as most rentals don't have that. We didn't need to buy any tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc. It was all provided, and I'm talking name brands nice soft stuff, not that single ply sandpaper. They provided high quality bed linens and ample towels, and the beds were extremely comfortable.
They provided all the things you could possibly need for the beach, and I'm talking new beach chairs on top of the 6 that are provided. Beach towels are all you need to bring.
Everything in the description of this property is accurate. In fact, the house was nicer than the pictures showed.
We had never stayed in the Carillon Beach community. We have stayed all up and down the 30A area, and the Carillon Beach community is by far the quietest, most secluded, cleanest area there is. It's a tiny Rosemary but with out the congestion. They pick up trash everyday but Sunday, so on our morning walks, there's no stinky trash. It was also amazing how secluded the Carillon beaches were compared to other beaches with public access. That was the best bonus!
The guest house was perfect for the 3 adult kids. They could make all the noise they wanted & not disturb the old sleeping adults in the main house.
We rented a golf cart for the week. It was fun tooling around in it to the pool, for a cup of coffee in the cafe or for a pizza, to go listen to the Carillon Bells at 8 pm, going to the pool, or just taking a cool ride at night.
A Publix and Winn Dixie are literally a 5 minute car ride away.
The lady who cleaned the houses did the absolute best job & I’m picky!!! Both houses were spotless.
We are already looking forward to next year!! Thanks Ken for being the best host!!
