Beautiful house / great location

The house was just as good as the pictures described it. Very clean and the open floor plan was great and made it feel even bigger. The bedrooms were great in size and having three kings for three of them and bunk room for the other was perfect for our stay. Kitchen had everything we needed. We love Carillon area and have been coming here for 17 years. This house was one of the best.

Beautiful and Spacious

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have rented several homes at Carillon Beach. This house feels very spacious and beautiful. It is well appointed and comfortable. My children loved the bunk room. We rented a golf cart for easy beach access and fun evening rides around the pretty neighborhood. The beach chair provider is new in 2023 and we experienced many inefficiencies with this process. With our historical experience in carillon beach, homes that included beach chairs always meant beach loungers - sturdy wooden permanent chairs. New service offers pop up chairs and loungers. If chair type is important to you, I recommend confirmation of type of chair included with rental house - prior to rental.

So much better than we expected!

Our family has been staying in Carillon for over 20 years. Our stay at Sweet Baby James topped all other homes by far. The rooms were spacious with a great house layout for cooking, entertaining, hanging out, and having large meals together. The amenities within the home were wonderful. The Kitchen was stocked with all tools and cooking accessories that we needed. We loved the outdoor shower! Everything was in pristine, clean condition. We love this house! We'll be back! Thank you!
