Photos and Description of the Carillon Beach vacation house rental
4 Bedrooms (2 are king size. 2 are queen), 3 Bathrooms, Sleeps 12

Caribbean Dreamin’ is a large, comfortable, three story home in the private community of Carillon Beach, Florida. It was constructed in 2003 with sunny rooms and decorated in bright colors and styles reminiscent of the Caribbean Islands. It has four bedrooms and three baths. The floors are beautiful oak hardwood and polished marble tile. All bedrooms have flat-panel TVs. The porches on all three levels are equally perfect for having morning coffee or watching the beautiful evening sunsets over the gulf.

Enjoy your morning coffee while people-watching in your Adirondack chair on the first floor veranda as they walk, jog, or bicycle past. Don’t be surprised if many say 'Good Morning' as they go past. On the second floor veranda, a hammock awaits you when the afternoon ‘lazies’ grab you. On the third level, both the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Carillon dominate the view while sitting outside in comfortable furniture.

If the sun gets too intense, just move around to the rear deck where even more comfortable furniture awaits you, along with a dining table for outdoor meals in the shade.

The kitchen has granite counter tops and enough equipment for our extended family to have Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners there each year. The dining table seats eight people and the four-person bar allows seating for the rest. Winn-Dixie and Publix are both within walking distance by making it easy to stock up your kitchen or run out for that key ingredient you forgot at the last minute.

The living room has three separate sitting areas so everyone can have their own ‘space’. One is at the entertainment center where the TV, CD, DVD, and stereo are located. Another area is in front of the fireplace where real wood logs can be burned. Feel free to enjoy our family’s games already there, including Trivial Pursuit, Tribond, Scrabble, Ultimate Outburst, and Rummikub. You might even try a jigsaw puzzle or two. You are also welcome to check out our bookcase. If you don’t get finished with a book before you have to leave, take it with you. We just ask that you leave one in its place so others will also be able to enjoy them. In fact, if you have some books at home that others may enjoy, please bring them with you to add to the collection.

Once you exit our house through the picket fence gate, we hope your biggest decision is whether to turn left to head for the beach or turn right for one of the three pools. Either way, they are both only a few steps away.

Please call or e-mail for additional interior photos of all the rooms.

Between Panama City and Destin.

Carillon Beach is a private, gated community 20 miles from Panama City and 30 miles from Destin. Rosemary Beach (2 miles) and Seaside (8 miles) are nearby. Carillon is a quiet jewel reminiscent of old-Florida and what Seaside used to be before the congestion and traffic jams you find today. Carillon has been written about in past issues of Coastal Living, Southern Living, Atlanta Magazine, and Season Magazine. Amenities available for your enjoyment are three pools, (all heated in the off season), one of which is located adjacent to the beach, tennis courts, a basketball court, and shopping in Downtown Carillon. Since Carillon is a private, protected community, all of the streets are perfect for bicycling for 'kids' of any age. Just watch out for the speed bumps that insure that cars and golf carts go slowly.

Other Activities: shopping, kayaking, boating, miniature golf, basketball

This was our second visit to this home in Carillon Beach, FL. We LOVE the community! It is a quaint, quiet neighborhood that is very safe and friendly. The house has been perfect for extended-family vacations. It's location to the beach and pool is one of our favorite aspects. We also love being able to set up our things on the beach and leave them there safely for the week without anyone bothering them. Beautiful home and community!

Owner's Response: Mark and Becky have been our guests twice and we're thrilled they enjoy themselves so much. Guests like them are what making our house available to others is all about.

This is the second year in a row we have stayed here. Very large and spacious. We had 12 people in our party. Loved having full kitchen and 3 full baths and 4 bedrooms. Very comfortable. Would definitely go back. Would recommend to any one. Beach was wonderful. Really is just steps from house. Love the front porch and 2nd floor deck and 3rd floor deck...very relaxing. Close to Pier Park in Panama City Beach. Not far from Destin

Our family loved Carillon Beach...we especially loved the house Carribean Dreamin' . This house was wonderful for our family of 13, ages 2 1/2 to 67. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and 5 children to have their own space. We are a cooking family and the kitchen had everything we needed, which was a big plus...including two ice machines, and a pantry to store everything. Plenty of space to all sit and dine as a famiy also. The pictures of Carribean Dreamin' were exactly accurate...beautiful space and beautiful decor. We definately felt at home...porch sitting, very comfortable beds, washer/dryer, and plenty of linens. The view from the tower room was awesome. I can honestly say that everything about this experience was positive for our whole family. The location was also perfect for the beach and the pool...both just steps away.

Carillon Beach is a quiet, beautiful community. We loved having a Shipwreck store there...we loved Castaways (walking distance) and some of the ladies even had a massage from the spa and we didn't leave the community. We will definately be going back and will recommend Carribean Dreamin' to everyone we know!

Great Vacation! 10 of us stayed comfortably in this house. The house is very nicely decorated and the Kitchen had everything we needed for our Easter Dinner as well as our shrimp boil. The extra ice maker was a big plus as well. We loved the grocery being so close as well. The walk to the beach was very easy, this is where we spent most of our time. One of the pools was just as close. Panama City Beach is beautiful! I think that this house is in a great location. We we able to walk or golf cart around the community and enjoy all that Carillon has to offer. Castaway's was a great gathering place when we did not feel like cooking. One of my great memories from this trip was being able to head out to our front door for our evening porch parties! Carillon Beach is a great place to slow down, relax and enjoy friends and family.

50TH ANNIVERSARY

4 of 5
Submitted: September 15, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
I'm sorry it took me so long to write a review. The house was the perfect size for our family, my three sons, daughter-in-laws and six grandchildren ranging in age from 2-21. The location was great. We were there for a 50th wedding anniversary for my sister-in-law and her husband. There were over 100 of us and after listening to the nightmares of the others who rented houses, I feel we were very lucky to have gotten Caribbean Dreamin. The house could have been a little cleaner, my daughter-in-laws cleaned when we got there and again before we left. The only thing I was disappointed in was we didn't have access to the ice machine which was broken when we got there. The repair man didn't get there until the end of the week, but it was a holiday week so I understand. I would not think twice about renting this place again. It was close to the pool. It was quiet at night. Overall it was perfect.

Owner's Response: As the owners, we were disappointed to hear that the previous cleaning effort was lacking. Among property owners, cleaning services are an ongoing problem. We have changed cleaning services in an effort to see that this doesn't happen again.
