This was the most spacious property we have ever booked in Carillon or surrounding. The living room, dining room and kitchen are all bigger than the pictures lend themselves…truly a spacious downstairs where all has room to cook, visit and chill with family and friends.
It was convenient that each occupied bedroom had its own bathroom. The private pool was also a big hit for the evenings when everyone was tired of the beach.
When the owners tell you the kitchen and garage are stocked, they mean it. From pool toys to footballs to bikes and spices and cookware, it’s all here.
This is a huge house, so be aware that some cleaning issues may not be addressed during peak times due to time constraints… it’s pretty hard to clean a place this big in 6 hours. But I feel confident that the owners do a deep clean at the end of the season. Our only issues were that the master bedroom on the second floor does not cool down like the rest of the house and there was not a working dryer in the main house, which we were notified of the day we came to stay, and was not fixed before we left. Not the worst inconvenience, but for the price of the place, we did expect everything to be in working order.
Just come on down with your swimsuits, sunscreen, and towels, because they have you covered. Park in the driveway, because there is plenty of space. Enjoy the super short walk to the beach, and the seclusion of privacy while there. Honestly, this whole neighborhood is a hidden gem.

This house was great for our family of 9 adults and 7 grandchildren. Plenty of space we never felt cramped
The pool was larger then other Carillon houses we stayed in and had some many pool and beach toys for kids
We have been going to Carillon beach since 2006 and grown from a family of 5 to16 so have been fortunate to have houses that fit our changing size
Tara was so responsive even with my crazy questions
Looking forward to coming back

There were 17 family members staying at this property together and we had plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked and the long dining room table was perfect for our anniversary dinner. The beds were comfy and everyone had their own bathroom. There was an abundance of fluffy white bath towels although you need to bring your own beach towels. There were plenty of chairs for the beach but no canopies or umbrellas. Pool floats were much appreciated. Big bonus was the pool. It is a nice size and after a hot day at the beach, it felt like a million bucks to float in that cool water. The guest house was very tight but we needed the space for 2 aunts. They shared a bathroom which wasn’t ideal but they didn’t complain. 2 couples in there would be a bit much. The second dishwasher and washer/dryer came in handy.
One thing that made our weeklong beach trip so enjoyable was the golf carts. We had 2 six seaters from Coastal Cars and Carts and it made transporting all our beach stuff much easier since there is no longer car parking allowed at walk overs. We had fun riding around Carillon during the day and at night showing off our beautiful Happy Place to first time visitors. We would highly recommend Life’s A Beach…it was perfect for us.

We stayed here the first week of November. This was a perfect vacation. Tara was very responsive to every question. Amazing place. Very clean, well stocked with everything you need. We definitely are coming back.
Just wonderful!

The term that kept coming up was that Carillon was just “comfortable”. The neighborhood is really nice, and the house was the perfect house for our group of 4 families with teens. Each of the adults had a private en-suite, the boys were in the bunk rooms on the second and third levels, and the girls were in the guest house. We took full advantage of the basketball and pickle ball courts. It’s an easy walk to the beach, and we also loved relaxing in the back yard by the pool or on one of several porches.

Wow! What a house. We have stayed in numerous properties throughout Carillon for more than 20 years, and this place has been our hands down favorite. The home was clean, comfortable, and incredibly well stocked. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Our extended family (15 people, grandkids to grandparents) had a fantastic stay at this property. The actual home is as-good if not better than the listing! Property manager was very responsive to all our needs, and there was plenty of open space on the first floor for the whole family to comfortably gather. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful property, great location. Each room was special, the host were accommodating, easy to get with and happy to help to make our stay special. It was very clean and advertised pictures were spot on.
Can’t wait to come again and bring family and friends. Loved that we rented golf carts to scoot around in. Tara was the best, thank you so much!

The house was absolutely perfect for our extended family. From Super Papa to the youngest grandchild, Veronica. The kids enjoyed the pool and the proximity to the beach.
4.9
The house and neighborhood were perfect for a large family. The beautiful beach is a short walk and the pool kept our crew occupied for hours. Kids can ride bikes safely and the area is very close to all the restaurants and fun things at Rosemary beach. The house is well equipped to handle a large crowd.

The property and location were awesome… We enjoyed the features and the open space… Very clean and roomy… We truly enjoyed the option to walk particularly to the beach…

We have stayed at Life’s a Beach, as well as other properties managed by Tara, multiple times and they never disappoint! Our family of 13, including three infants (one pack ‘n play was provided!) had plenty of space to relax and sleep and had fun preparing all of our meals in the spacious kitchen and on the gas grill located by the pool. We utilized the large Sportbrella on the beach to provide shade for the babies and used the available cart/wagon to bring down extra sand chairs they provided in addition to the six loungers reserved on the beach. Mornings were spent at the nearby beach and the heated pool (ample size) was used all afternoon and evening by all ages (well worth the additional fee for heat!) We also played daily on the tennis and pickleball courts only a block away. Tara is a great communicator and responds quickly and kindly to all inquiries. We’re already planning our return next year!

Adults and children (including teenagers!) throughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and spacious property! The neighborhood is walkable and picturesque.

The house and guest house are both beautiful and were perfect for three families with children. The pool was perfect for returns from the beach. Overall, the location was great and the home was perfect for us. Would definitely return and recommend.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The pool in the back yard is the cherry on top especially with little ones who still nap during the day. Everything was easy to find and locate, we will definitely be back in the future.

We had a family reunion of 12 adults and 5 kids. The house is incredible and has so much common area space. The rooms were cozy and everyone seemed to be comfortable. The guest house was a great addition for the grandparents that needed some quiet time at the end of the day. Pool is perfect size to relax after a morning on the beach. We were very satisfied with the entire property and location.

What a perfect house for our large group of 19. The grandparents stayed in the guest house while the main house had plenty of space for 4 adult couples plus 9 grandkids. The pool was a big hit. The beach was super close and beautiful. We utilized the tennis courts, basketball court and bicycles. The kitchen was amply stocked: we cooked 3 meals for 19 in there without a problem. We will be back!

Definitely 5 Stars. Tara, Property Manager, was awesome to work with. House was more than we could have hoped for, having baths with each room was spot on for the 4 couples that stayed and additional baths for the kids as well. Cleanliness was a 4 only because house cleaners did not finish the job but Tara was on top of it as soon as we arrived and made all arrangements to make it right. Will definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking to visit Panama area.

We’ve stayed at Carillon Beach for many years. We love that the beach is beautiful & never over crowded, that it’s a gated community & has many amenities to keep everyone happy with the variety of pools, tennis & basketball courts, market street ice cream, rentals, eats & store.
We’ve stayed in several homes & condos there, but Life’s a Beach tops them all by far! It’s beautiful, large enough for our growing family & we love that it feels so spacious & open. The pool is great with ample lounging seats (there’s something soothing about the sound of the pool waterfall when you are sitting around connecting with others).
Some of the homes we’ve had feel cramped like they’ve maxed out the layout too much. Maybe this is built on a double lot?Everything about the house in furniture, design & equipment is first class. We didn’t have any need that wasn’t supplied. While it’s not too far to the beach walkover, I always rent a golf cart to make access to the whole property easy.
And Tara, the property host is awesome & available to make sure all is well. This is the first rental we’ve had where we were given Welcome Gifts which was very nice! The garage full of pool & beach equipment was a large bonus as well. Kinda feels like you are staying in a close friends place.
We’ve booked for next year already which is probably the best endorsement I can give. Hard to go wrong with Life’s A Beach!

We just completed a wonderful week's stay at Life's a Beach. We had a blended family of 15 and couldn't have had better accommodations. The property is beautiful and within a short walk to the beach. Having a reserved spot at the beach is priceless. The garage is full of bikes, beach chairs, floaties, buckets and shovels for the kids....just about anything you might want. You won't be disappointed with this property. Unfortunately, it sets the bar very high for next time. Tara is an excellent property manager and always there to help. Thank you for a wonderful Beach Week for our family.

Life is a Beach rental was a perfect set up for our family (8 adults and 4 children under the age of 4). It had a lot of space for eating, relaxing, playing, and sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, glassware, serving dishes, utensils, plates, ect. The house was an easy walk, about 2.5 blocks, from the beach. The backyard was very private and a lot of sitting areas. We loved the house for our family.
The Carillon Community is very cute and has a southern charm. I was disappointed with the playground area with only had 2 swings and 1 slide. The "downtown" area of Carillon was also disappointing. Our family likes to walk to get breakfast, lunch, dinner, ect. and there were just a few options. You can bike around the Carillon neighborhood (about 3 miles if you include all the streets). You can not bike outside of Carillon to get anywhere. The main roads are very busy. You can take a short drive for grocery shopping or restaurants.

Awesome family vacation!
We had our 3 children and their families meet us here for a wonderful family vacation. The house met all our needs with the bedrooms for adults and for children. The 4 boys loved the upstairs bedroom as the "Guys room". The kitchen and living area was very open and so comfortable to gather with our family. The owners were so easy to work with. It was a great house and a great vacation!
