To help others make an informed decision here are our observations (in no particular order): Positives: 1) Well equipped kitchen. 2) Location was great for families. Short walk to park and one of the pools (the more family oriented one frequented by smaller kids). Short walk to beach walkover. 3) Chairs available on the beach were an awesome amenity. There are actually 4. 4) The promenade is gorgeous and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch at night. 5) Comfortable beds and pillows (we prefer firm and slept great) 6) Large TVs with Rokus 7) Thermostat was very responsive and efficient Considerations: 1) Washer dryer was very small capacity so guests just need to plan accordingly 2) Having a golf cart (not included) was a major help to take advantage of the rest of Carillon since the house is on the far west side. With smaller kids and/or older family members, walking to the village may be too much. Also helpful to transport all the beach necessities for everyone. 3) The shade offered by the promenade trees is a positive but that along with the fact that houses are packed tight on top of each other limits natural light and makes the house feel less “beachy”. Not a bad environment just different. 4) The amount of stairs and nature of them may be tricky for older or younger guests. Stairs are in fine shape, but they are wooden and a few of us had a couple spills. 5) Bedroom on main floor was very small though it had a king bed. The attached bathroom was small too and shared with kitchen in close proximity. Not ideal for guest(s) if they want more privacy. Negatives: 1) Furniture on top floor deck was very uncomfortable and some chairs were broken. 2) Cleaning was ok…Our feet were black within 30 minutes after arriving. Light fixtures and around furniture all very dusty. 3) Bedding…email from Vacasa warned that there are no comforters. All beds had extremely thin sheets and very thin “fuzzy” blanket which was the equivalent of sleeping under a bath towel. This blanket also didn’t fit on one of the king beds. We had to combine a few blankets from the unused bunk to ensure 2 adults were covered. Extra bedding for pullout couch was dirty…looked like blood stains… I would bring my own bedding next time. We will absolutely be coming back to Carillon Beach - can’t say enough good things about the community.

Location is ideal. Heated pool adjacent to the row of houses. Beach is just a short walk away. The porches provided an environment of privacy to read, visit, rest, or sleep. Plenty of inside room with comfortable beds and pillows. While only 2 of us spent the week here, it will be ideal to return with our kids and grandkids.

The yellow house was very clean and well prepared for my family. And, it was very close to the beach! Only reason that I give 4 stars is that there was any good pots and pans. They were all scratched so bad. We had to buy a new wok from Publix.

We were at Carillon for a family wedding and the house comfortably accommodated the entire family except the bride to be. This was our first visit to Carillon and it is beautiful. Our only criticism of the house is that it has parking for only two cars and we did not know the location of other spaces away from the house.

We truly enjoyed spending time in Lovely Day. We had a total of six adults and four children and everyone had ample space to relax. The house is in an excellent location for children to utilize the playground and pool. My only suggestion would be to have more comfortable outdoor furniture.

Very nice house plenty of space for my family, great location and community!

The day we arrived the refrigerator was not working. We didn't know that until we loaded food into it. Next day before someone came to check it. Second night kitchen faucet began pouring water. Turned water off. Took repair man all day next day to change faucet. I stayed in the house two days waiting for repairmen.

Five Minute walk to beach. Community is exceptional - private, clean, many things to do within the community.

Easy check in, clean and comfortable rooms, an easy walk to the beach. Grocery stores and pharmacy close by. Chose to stick with known, favorite restaurants on 30A and 98 this trip. Carillon grounds are beautifully landscaped and extremely well maintained. This was our second time at Carillon and the two “first timers” really enjoyed the environs. A very relaxing and carefree vacation - even saw a manatee swim by one morning. We will be back!

A Lovely Day was a perfect home for our family and friends while we were in the Carillon area for my son's wedding within the resort. This home was perfect! Will for sure rent again!

We had this house for a week when our daughter got married at Carillon and we loved it. It was super clean when we arrived, All the rooms were spacious and nicely furnished and the third floor entertainment space with the kitchenettes was great for having friends and family over. It was close to the beach and the pool. We had a couple of small maintenance issues on the first day but they were fixed quickly after we called. It was great for the wedding weekend and we would rent this home again.

The staff was super friendly to start. The house itself was super clean and well-maintained. The community is beautiful and quiet and the beach is just the same. Great location as you’re close enough to Pier Park to enjoy it but far enough for some quiet. Highly recommend and would stay again.

No problem renting. Process was easy. Home was beautiful. A little disappointed in delayed communication when questions arose (extensive hold times and 3-4 day delay in online response. 1st floor was entirely too cold (March, 40° outside) and there wasn't a way to heat it. Otherwise, great home. I'd stay again in warmer months

Beautiful home!! Loved the floor plan! Each family had their own floor! The kids room worked out perfect! Definitely renting this home again!

Carillon Beach is our family’s favorite place to go on a beach vacation. We have stayed at this house multiple times and always have had a wonderful visit. It is a great layout and size for our group. There were 11 of us this time. It’s now managed by Vacasa so you have to check in and get the gate pass at the Vacasa office on Market St in the Carillon shops instead of being able to go directly to the house. It’s not a problem but wasn’t made very clear until the day of arrival.

This house was perfect for my large family, in town for my sister’s wedding at the meeting house. Every bedroom is very large and the extra entertaining space on the top floor was perfect for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready on the day of the wedding. We are looking forward to returning to this house often!

We were unaware of the check in process. Nothing in the app or emails told us we would needed to visit the Vacasa office first to get a parking pass. Then we had to go back to Vacasa office for the door code when the house was ready. That code didn’t work so we had to go again and then wait for the maintenance man. The check in process was very frustrating but after we got in our house everything was wonderful. We loved every minute of it and will be back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lovely Days! The location was precious and had a great sense of community there! We will definitely be returning again. Very close to the beach access as well.

Perfect for my wedding weekend!

My husband fell in love with the house and the neighborhood! Close to the beach and the pool. It was great for a family of 14. Had everything we needed, very specious, clean and overall very nice. Definitely considering to come back to stay here again in the future.

Location were convenient to beach n pool.

The neighborhood was nice. Loved the beach! The house needs some maintenance. The 3rd floor balcony was nice but the deck boards were loose, not safe. 3rd floor bedroom had a broken TV and a hole in bedroom door. The wood floors throughout are nice but the floor was filthy. All of us had black feet within 3 hours. Owner golf cart takes up too much of the available parking.
