  My wife and I attended a wedding (Meeting House) and reception following (Village Green) this past weekend. We stayed inside of the property at Fun in the Sun. It is a nice, convenient 2 bedroom cottage that is easily accessible to everything at Carillon. It was our first time to visit Carillon, but we are excited to visit again in the future! Karen and Rachel were easy to communicate with and set us up for an outstanding weekend! Highly recommend this property!!

  Jill M from Tullahoma, TN recommends this vacation rental

  The staff was extremely helpful and did everything and more to help make our stay an incredible one. The beach is just a couple hundred feet away as well as the pool. I like that it is a gated community and peaceful. We were obsessed with Our Little Beach Cafe! The food was very good! The promenade and other surroundings were pretty, too. The house was cozy and perfect for our family of three. We loved having reserved beach chairs and the beach was not crowded. Highly recommend!!!

  Rachel W from Urbandale, Iowa recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first time to Carillon Beach, and we were thoroughly impressed with this little gated beach community. Everyone was so friendly and respectful. I loved how easy it was to get to the beach, and each of the pools were amazing. We brought our 9 yr old daughter, and each day she had nice kids to play with.
  The house itself was quaint and very efficient. The appliances were updated and in nice condition.
  The neighbors next door were so kind and welcoming.

  Gregory b from Lilburn , Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  This is our 4th time staying in Carillon and first time at Fun in the Sun. The house was great for our small family of 4. Cute kitchen with everything you need. Love the proximity to one of the pools and the beach! If I could improve upon something it would be to add a shade on the back door for privacy since the house is right along side a busy road. The mattresses are hard/firm. I ended up sleeping on the couch. Would not recommend for older couples. My mom is 69 and she kept missing the last step of the stairs causing her to fall. The stairs are steep! Overall a great experience.

  • Manager Responded on 5/15/2023

    Thank you for your 5 star review. Your suggestion to add a shade on the back door is well-taken. A service order for that has already been created and that will be added very soon.

  Tamera J from Cartersville, GA recommends this vacation rental

  This vacation was exceptional for our family, and everything from booking the rental to checking out was perfect! Our property manager, Karen, went above and beyond to accommodate us. Her first phone call was the same day I booked our rental. She was very thorough regarding the rental process, details of our rental home, and recommendations for golf cart rentals. We scheduled a grocery delivery we thought we might miss due to traffic, and she offered to take care of it without hesitation. She also hand-delivered a broom to our house when we couldn't find one. The house was the perfect size for our family and was spectacularly clean when we arrived. It was stocked with everything needed for the beach and more! We will be booking again!!

  • Manager Responded on 4/21/2023

    We are pleased that you enjoyed your Spring Break vacation at Fun in the Sun in Carillon Beach. This cottage was recently purchased by a new owner who himself stays often in the house he owns next door. Its proximity to the gulf and one of the heated community pools makes this a real gem for a week or a long weekend stay. We look forward to your return.

  Sandi W from Franklin, TN recommends this vacation rental

  For the two of us, this was a great property. The manager was very helpful and quickly helped with any question or need. The only recommendation for owners would be to put a shade or black out curtain on the glass backdoor.
