We loved everything about our stay! It was fully stocked with everything we needed to vacation there for a week with kids! It was a great location, and just beautiful! Great set up for three families. We will be back soon!!

So nice to have a house big enough for 14 last year and 16 this year. Very comfortable, cheery spaces, and additional helpful amenities like towels and beach gear. Perfect with few exceptions; back door lock failed during stay but had helpful phone assistance; could have used another refrigerator; porch fans had one speed, slow; sprinklers ran every evening leaving backyard unusable at end of the day and bushes blocked lake view; sofa sleeper mattress very uncomfortable, its sheets were hidden; can’t read microwave, display not bright.
None of these would keep us away next time. We had an enjoyable trip.

We loved this house! The kitchen is well stocked and the house was very clean. It is very kid friendly especially for our 6 grandchildren ages infant to 5 years. ( baby gates, pack n play, toddler cups, bowls and plates, toys, etc…) The layout of this house was perfect for our family and we have stayed in several great houses in Carillon. One of our favorite features was the ice maker. Crushed ice at the beach was so good! We loved everything about this house! It felt like home!

Sittin Purdy had us doing just that!
There was plenty of room for the 14 of us. The house provided many areas for “catching up” on each family’s news. The screened porch was popular as well as the lovely sunroom extension off the living area where we set up a puzzle to work on during a few rainy hours. The large dining table was perfect for dinners next to the roomy kitchen with ample counter space for food serving. Loved the bricked laundry room with space for everything needed for the beach. A very comfortable house!

Sittin’ Purdy was perfect!
Amazing weekend for my daughter’s wedding in Carillon! Sittin’ Purdy was the PERFECT location and size for our large family to all be together to celebrate! The large kitchen and spacious, open floor plan made visiting together so fun and enjoyable yet everyone could retreat to their own space for down time. The screened porch and backyard added another dimension of entertaining space - especially for the kids! Overall, I don’t think we could have chosen a better place! I do recommend a golf cart for getting to and from the beach - especially with young kids! While it’s an easy, breezy walk…the little ones enjoyed the ride and we enjoyed tooling around the neighborhood checking out all the beautiful homes and not having to lug all the beach paraphernalia.

Sittin'Purdy made our 4 generation family beach week a success! We ate in for the majority of our meals and the chef's Kitchen was a dream. Wolf appliances are now on my "wish list". The mud room was a genius idea, and it was so well equipped with everything from beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, coolers, straw beach hats, and even a wagon to haul it all in. These are all items that we usually have to purchase and leave behind because we're flying. The large back yard was a great perk for our evening of yard games, they even supplied a corn hole game. We appreciated the sonic ice machine too! You can tell that lots of planning went into the details of this home. We look forward to returning to Sittin'Purdy!

We recently returned from a 2 week stay in Sittin Purdy. Our daughter got married in Carillon during our stay. Sittin Purdy is a beautifully appointed home, perfect for entertaining, large enough for a family to spread out and relax, play games in the back yard, or sitting quietly on the back porch with beautiful views of the lake. We also love Carillon Beach, rental of golf carts is easy, the beach is private and easy to access, and several pools to choose from. We will definitely be back!

This is the second time we have stayed at Sittin Purdy! It is a lovely home with the absolute best amenities. It is clean and well maintained! The location to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores is convenient! The management company is amazing! We had an issue with the HVAC; called and within the hour she had someone there to fix the system. Our family loves staying at this house; we look forward to staying there again.

The home is beautiful and completes the package for the perfect wedding venue- Carillon Beach. We rented the house for the week of my daughter's wedding, and the house was complete with everything needed. The setting is gorgeous, and the home is clean, immaculate and decorated like a model home. It is evident that the owners invest in the property and maintenance thereof. The property manager was friendly and quick to respond to any need. The home is a short walk to the pool and beach, and the reserved beach chairs make for an easy beach trip. Additionally, it was picture perfect for the bridal portrait sessions, and the photos are spectacular. The photographer and videographer commented repeatedly about the ambiance of the home related to the portraits and video. Literally, the home felt like our own and set the stage for a magnificent weekend. The convenience to the Meeting House and Village Green was priceless. I have recommended the home to many families and will return. You will not be disappointed.

We have stayed at Sittin Purdy for multiple years and keep coming back because we love it so much. The home is spacious, comfortable and absolutely beautiful. They've thought of every comfort and convenience as well. We love its location next to the little village area as well. And the management team has always been superb and on top of every detail. It is truly a relaxing experience from start to finish and I could not recommend this property more.

Wonderful home!
Everything about this home is great! Spacious, comfortable, attractive, quality furnishings and appliances, and on and on. Location is desirable within the Carillon community..... walkable distances to two of the pools, to the beach, meeting house, Village Green. This house even has a yard for the kids to play in and a nice view of the lake. We enjoyed our stay!

My daughter picked Carillon Beach for her wedding site(walkover #4.. easily walkable from SittinPurdy) and The Meeting House for the reception(right next door!) This house was perfect! Spaciously comfortable, beautiful and exceptionally clean. Karen could not have been better! And even tho she was out of the country she made prior arrangements for every issue, and all went like clockwork. Very helpful in every way (and I had so many questions!) The owner’s “Homebook” was very helpful as well. Didn’t want to leave! Hope I can return soon. Carillon Beach is my new favorite destination. Heavenly!

We had a fantastic trip. Property manager was so helpful throughout and easy to get in touch with before and after our trip. The house was amazing and accomodated 3 families perfectly. The owners thought of just about everything for a perfect beach house. Location is also wonderful - right near town center, but quick walk to beach and 2 different pools. We all loved this house so much - all 15 of us - and can't wait to return.

The perfect beach vacation!
Sittin Purdy was the most perfect beach house for our group of 15. We had 3 families staying together and there was plenty of space for everyone to either be together or split off in smaller groups. The porch and flat grassy backyard were favorite spots for all. Upstairs is a great spot for kids with a bunk room and 2 separate bedrooms off of main room. The owners are so thoughtful with all of the tips they leave in their guest book and extra supplies if you forgot something as well as fun games, books and beach toys. The kitchen is stocked with all you need (even those spices you always forget to bring!) and there was great seating at a long farm table and at kitchen island. The house was immaculate while still inviting and warm. House is located right next to Carillon Town Center so just steps away from ice cream and a short walk to beach and 2 different pools. We could not have been happier and cannot wait to go back!

BEST HOME IN CARILLON BEACH
We have made many trips to Carillon but this home is the best one we have rented! There were 18 of us and this beautiful home met all of our needs. Bed space for everyone, 3 living spaces to hang out and visit, pretty yard for yard games, extra beach towels, large washer and dryer, and everything needed to cook and enjoy while we were there. The owners even provided a box of items you may have forgotten to help out. All of this in a beautifully decorated and furnished home! Thanks to the Purdy family for opening their gorgeous home. And a special thank you to Karen property manager who was easy to work with and very accommodating.
We will definitely be back!
Thanks, Chris Ackerman
PS Only issue we encountered was with the wifi log on.
