The house was amazing. Clean !! I didn’t see one bug! Water pressure in the showers were good! Pool was clean and big. I don’t have complaints but I do have suggestions. The queen rooms upstairs could use updated beds, as they were a little sunken in. The first couple of steps leading down to the beach is very slippery and has a slight dip. It caused like 4 people in our group to fall. These will not however keep me from rebooking this beautiful house. Love love love it!!

This home exceeded our expectations. It is steps to the ocean, the pool and hot tub are beautiful. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and the 2 living rooms was perfect for our college age and young adult children who played a lot of board and card games in the evening.

We had an absolute fabulous time at Kyle’s place. Everything was clean and exactly as described. Very spacious. Beds were comfy, the pool being heated was amazing and the hot tub was so relaxing. Direct beach access was main reason for renting but we spent more time on the patio.

House was awesome. Beautifully built with smart use of space. Plenty of room. Host was friendly & responsive. Loved having coffee on the deck in the morning and watching the sunsets in the evening. Only complaint—beds in primary bedrooms were terribly uncomfortable. It’s time to invest in new mattresses.

The Fish Carlton takes your breathe away from the moment you stand on the porch and lookout the front door window straight to the beautiful beach. My husband and I were married on the beach there. It has a hot tub a fabulous pool. Adequate supplies for cooking. Two fridges. Easy access to the beach. I for one will return. And of course we had the leaning house of PCB next door. Scary but fun! I prayed it stay standing. Lol. That is a mess that should have been handled by now. But I still took pics from afar! Great family destination or family reunions!

We had an amazing time at the Fish Carlton, the house was big enough for 10 adults and 3 littles! There are even two refrigerators in the house with plenty of room for large groups! The pool and deck was awesome and right on the beach 10/10 we will definitely be back !

Annual framily trip

The location and views were amazing. However, the check-in process could have been more clear. I was never informed that I would receive an email from someone other than VRBO. Then in that email you have to download a different app to sign a rental agreement to get a code for the door. All but 2 beds had sand in them and clearly were not cleaned. We were told NOT to strip the beds because it was easier for housekeeping. We now know why. The hot tub would not keep temperature and you could only use one set of jets or it sprayed out of a knob that was caulked closed. The pillows were so flat and absolutely horrible. Its a really nice house but definitely has some minor issues.

Great Location

It was so great to walk right onto the beach from the porch. The beds downstairs were like sleeping on boxsprings. A few things that were broke but the management Kelly was so kind and very prompt on getting them fixed. Loved the location. Was very easy to get to.

Beautiful Ocean View

This was the first time we chose a place in northern Florida. I think we should have probably waited another month or so for better weather. It was very cold, in the 40 degree range and made it harder to enjoy the property. The last couple days were in the 60's so it was more enjoyable. The property itself was nice and overall we had a good time.

2024 Fall Break

Beautiful, convenient location. Being able to walk directly to the beach was so nice. Also, it was so convenient for the older children to go back and forth between the adults on the beach and the adults at the pool. The house's lay-out was perfect. My only recommendation is to invest in new mattresses. We hope to stay at the Fish Carlton again.
