  Kelly J from Worthington, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  Kindness Matters lives up to their name. Carillon Beach Rentals was top notch! They were responsive, flexible, communicative, and kind! Thank you, Karen and Eric!
  
  The house was wonderful! Super clean, spacious and charming.
  A lot of rentals say they have a stocked kitchen and end up short. I was pleased with all they had. Ample pots and pans, multiple cutting boards, plenty of plates...the beverage fridge and separate ice machine was a very nice bonus!
  
  In addition, the house came with plenty of towels (kitchen, bath, and beach), dish soap, dishwasher tablets, and laundry detergent.
  
  We took advantage of all the community had to offer. We shopped the shops, ate the food, drank the wine, rode the bikes, attended the concerts, used the pools, played the courts, and loved the beach.
  
  We are thankful for a great trip. We'll be back again soon!

  Courtney A from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely loved this house. Feels brand-new...I think it was built in early 2020, but it still feels like it just got built. It was very ,very clean. Everything is in great shape, really nice finishes, great kitchen, wide hallways, a lot of living space, outdoor covered fireplace that we used every is great! Great location in Carillon--really close to the Main St/village area, and also really close to two walkovers. And easy for our kids to get to the basketball court. It was our family of 6 and another family of 5, and we all had plenty of room. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will be back!

  • Manager Responded on 3/7/2024

    Thank you for your 5 Star review. Kindness Matters is all that you described and more. It is also proximate to the meeting house and very popular with brides and wedding participants. The owners of this home are very fastidious and constantly look for ways to "make it better." Hope to see you again soon, Jimmy. Karen Sandel Owner & Mgr. Carillon Beach Rentals, LLC

  Amazingly well kept property, and extremely comfortable. perfectly positioned in the community and only a few steps from the ocean. We loved the lake view , especially fro the 2nd floor decks. I am certain We will be returning again in the future . The property manager ( Karen ) is super knowledgeable and helpful: she was available in person promptly, when even minor adjustments required attention .
  We have stayed at 4 different homes in this community over the past 9 years and this was by far the nicest home and associated amenities .
  Thank you Kindness Matters !!

  House was basically a 5 star rental. A few maintenance things. Light bulb out above dining table. No cover for porch TV . Screw and nut missing on one dining room chair. Dresser in first floor master is very hard to open the drawers . We were not sure if the half bath was cleaned before we got there.

  We absolutely loved staying at Kindness Matters. We have been traveling to the panhandle for 20 years. We normally stay in Watercolor but came to Carillon for a wedding. We fell in love with the area and truly loved this house. The layout is perfect for bringing your family. It has an open floor plan, is updated, and is decorated beautifully. We will definitely stay here the next time we come to Florida.

  This house was such a dream. From the perfect location in the middle of the neighborhood, to the exceptional kitchen, and roomy bedrooms. Our families loved Kindness Matters. The kids rode their bikes to the beach and pools, and we grilled and watched TV out on the back porch in the afternoons. Plenty of room for rest and fun for our party of 9. We will book again!!

  My family spent 5 days at this fabulous house for my daughter's wedding. The house is beautiful and well appointed. The space was perfect and ample for 12 adults. Karen was a pleasure to work with. I had a couple questions and one maintenance issue which was resolved in minutes. The house is equipped with plenty of dishware, cookware, beach equipment, linens and other essentials. I can't say enough about this property. We would absolutely rent here again. This house was perfect for us because it is 2 doors down from the chapel. We were able to walk to our daughter's wedding. Very fun!

  The home was more spacious and beautiful than the pictures. We had six adults and four children, and it was a perfect space. The kitchen was equipped with wonderful appliances, cookware, gadgets,etc. The home had seven TVs with the latest technology, and the WiFi in the home was great. It is in a perfect location, close to beach, pool, and not too far from playground and tennis courts. We all loved the decor and colors in the home. It was a perfectly decorated beach home, but very comfortable too.
