This place has great room for a large family/group. This is our second year in a room to book this house. It has PLENTY of dishes, pots and pans and utensils. It does however need more dish towels. Two just is not enough, but that is not a deal breaker! LOL We had problems with both the guest house and the main house as far as AC, but Vacasa got right on it and got a guy out to fix them both, then all was good.

This home was absolutely beautiful, excellent beachfront location, and was well cleaned and taken care of. The only thing lacking was the essentials for a home this large. Cookware and kitchen items were either missing altogether or under stocked. For a home accommodating this many people, it was hard to cook and serve meals. There was also no hand soap (which may be a normal thing with Vacasa, but we’ve never had a home not stocked with hand soap before so we weren’t prepared!) Overall, we loved our stay and the home and will hopefully be able to make a return trip and be more prepared for the things we know are lacking.

We rented this house with 11 girls for a Bachelorette party and it was PERFECT!! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the beach is right outside the back door! Only minutes away from Rosemary, Alys Beach and Panama City! The only downside is that the kitchen is not stocked very well so if you plan on cooking at the house make sure you bring some items with you!

The deck is wonderful and so close to the beach1

This home is beautiful as well as the guest house. I rent another home yearly, for the past 6 years that is steps away from this home. This home was twice the amount and I would have expected twice the accommodations. The main kitchen has very little to cook with. The pots and pans situation was horrible. I had to purchase my own things to cook with. Main home only had 3 small fry pans that are old and filthy and two sauce pans, one for the size of a can of soup and one the size of 2 cans of soup. There was a large pot for corn or lobster. The grill was in the same small area as the 2 trash cans and it was so small and cheap, charcoal, that it looked like something from a dollar store. For 20K a week, I expected the kitchen to be so much more. Beds were fantastic, great AC and beautiful view.

On the beach, best spot

Can’t beat being on the beach!

We enjoyed our stay at Beachfront Blessings very much. Pictures are very accurate. Lovely furnishings and view of the beach. House has 4 dedicated chaises on the beach that have cushions and umbrellas. Lovely neighborhood. Yes, there is construction in the neighborhood on weekdays but was reasonable. Publix near by makes it easy to order food and pickup curbside or have it delivered. Would definitely book again!

The location of this home is perfect, waking up to a beach view is such a treat. When considering higher end rentals other than the view and location, unfortunately it was very underwhelming. Many other rentals offer basics in the kitchen such as salt, pepper, oil, coffee filters, ect… this property offers none of this at all, so you will need to bring in ABSOLUTELY everything including beach towels. The other bummer is there is heavy construction going on, on both sides of the property and so that certainly is disappointing. We had a phenomenal time as a group, this neighborhood is so charming. We have stayed in the neighborhood several times before and We will certainly come to Carillon Beach again.

Great place. I would highly recommend. Location is perfect. Beach access was amazing! Pools were lovely. No repair issues previously mentioned. Areas for improvement - kitchen could have a few more utensils (we left a few that we bought), plates, glasses, bowls, etc. Also, it would be nice to have some coffee filters and beach towels provided. Lastly, some puzzles, games and beach equipment would be a nice touch.

My family of 6 (8yr, 5yr, 3yr and 1yr) had the BEST stay at Beachfront Blessings! The home was spacious yet had a comfy/cozy feel. Having your own beach just steps away was great with little ones while also having access to the community pool, playground and courts! The location was a short drive from the airport, just down the street from Publix, CVS, etc and just across the bridge from busy Rosemary, Seaside, etc. Vacasa was easy to work with as well. We didn't have a broom in the house, I simply called the office and before we made it back from the beach and brand new one was waiting for us. A few tips: *Only 1 kitchen trash bag, 1 roll of paper towels, 2 laundry and 2 dishwasher pods are provided. *There is a beach umbrella, 5 or so chairs and beach toys provided *If you are needing baby equipment i.e., crib, toys, beach wagon, etc I highly recommend renting from BabyQuip! *Also, if you need a babysitting service 30ababysitters were professional and so great with our kiddos!

Great beach home for family vacation! Property was clean and beautifully decorated! Very spacious master bed and bath. Outside is a little worn but understandable given the elements. Pots and pans were not ideal and no serving pieces for meals - but did not make our stay any less enjoyable. It is a beautiful home and brought us much joy staying there. Would definitely rent again!

We had a fantastic experience at this property. It was clean, the beach was beautiful, and it was a great location. Communication with Vacasa was terrific. Would definitely rent this place again.

We loved our time at Beachfront Blessings! We stayed a week at the property and rented both the main house and the carriage house. The only reason I rate the home 4 stars instead of 5 was due to some of the previously noted issues that were yet to be addressed by the time we visited. Main issues were: 1) faulty handrail on the beach access staircase which required repair during our stay 2) several poorly constructed areas with 1/4" nail or screw heads coming up from the wood deck or concrete drive 3) broken tiles on the front entry way 4) home still had fruit flies - major nuisance 5) guest toilet ran non-stop 24/7 6) not enough hot water to power the home 7) flooring planks upon entry were taped down due to warping. Many of the above are actually safety issues and should be addressed immediately. The other cosmetic issues I'd assume could have been addressed already. At paying nearly $20k for the week, one shouldn't expect to experience such issues. That said, the home was absolutely beautifully decorated with high-end furnishings and the beachfront location was so convenient. The Vacasa staff was more than attentive to our every need and concern and were very professional. Special thanks to Tammy and Megan for their customer service. Also, the homeowners were gracious enough to allow us to have a beachfront bonfire in front of the home which was another wonderful way to enjoy the property. We would definitely stay in this home again, I'd just like to see the above issues handled first. Many thanks for the hospitality! Michelle and Dan

This house had a beautiful view and access to the beach. It was close to other houses on each side. Overall great house for a big family. The grill was small and charcoal, but we made it work. The house had a few maintenance issues. Nothing that impacted our stay. Floor was warped in the entrances and was taped down but it didn’t make a difference in the upstairs area. We would stay here again.

If you have already booked this property, don't panic. It is perfectly located on a great beach that isn't crazy crowded. You are paying for the beach and boy does it deliver. But.... The house is in terrible condition. It looks nice, but from the very first step, the floors are not properly installed. The locks don't work. The door to the back deck is difficult to use. The water pressure is low and your showers won't be very hot. When we arrived, the A/C was broken, the coffeemaker was broken, the washer/dryer in guest house was broken, the bunk beds in guest house were unmade with potentially dirty sheets stacked on top. The dishwasher in main house broke. Important things to note: the website says they provide beach towels. There were none. We visited the office and were given 4 for our group of 14. No kitchen dish towels either....and we cook a lot! We had to go to office to get 4 small rags that were terrible. The bedding is terrible. The blankets are like rough sheets. The kitchen has enough pans for cooking and some are pretty nice. No food storage containers. We left some behind. There is no cabinet with salt/pepper and goodies from past guests. They empty it all out every time, perhaps because of COVID? No games provided. No puzzles. No information book with area restaurants and attractions. No instructions for local TV. No guest book. Vacasa has cleansed all of the human element out of the house. Some people might like that. I didn't. The master suite is on the second floor. There is a pretty steep set of steps to the main floor and one queen bedroom on main. The rest of bedrooms are on the second floor. The guest house has no bedrooms on main floor. If you have both the house and guest house you get two beach set ups, which is 4 loungers and 2 umbrellas. They are set up by a service. You don't need to contact anyone. It just happens. A closet in the house has a few other small beach chairs and toys. I know this is a lot of grumbling. We had a GREAT week. I just think much more information on this house would be helpful. We rent at least one house a year from VRBO so I am not new to the process. This was my first experience with Vacasa.

The view well. It would be great but.. This house joins a porch and walk over with the next door house. Not intimate as we thought it would be to enjoy outdoor porch without neighbors

The house was perfect for our family vacation! Plenty of room for everyone to hang out and enjoy family time. The location could not have been any better! While we were just minutes away from everything, we felt like the only ones around. Thank you so much for opening up your home!!

We loved the cozy feel of the house and the views are great.
