  This beautiful home was a welcome retreat from the busyness of life for our family! My husband and I, along with our 3 adult children and their spouses/6 young children, had spaces of their own but the great room and kitchen/dining area were large enough to accommodate us all when together! The media room was a great place for an occasional movie for the kids. The high chair and the crib in the walk-in MBR closet was so appreciated! The kitchen was well-supplied with cookware, utensils, dishes and even toddler plates/utensils. There were also plenty of beach towels! Our family loved staying directly on the beach, which was beautiful! We appreciated the 2 sets of umbrella and 2 chairs. The walkway to the beach was just outside our back porch. We also enjoyed Carillon Beach Community’s pools, one of which was just a few yards away. Rachel and Karen,with Carillon, were just a phone call away before we arrived and during our stay and quickly responded to any question we had. I highly recommend Wooden Shoe?☺️

  I want to give this one star so our little secret doesn't go viral but this home deserves all the glory of a 5 star review. Carillon itself is charming and full of amenities in the best location. But THIS home is absolutely perfect for fantastic ocean views - family meals - great sleeping... all the things you would hope for on vacation. The hosts were amazing and helpful. And we made a friend (black stray cat we named Jungle) that we SO wish we could have taken home. What an enchanting week.

  a guest from Batavia, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  This place certainly has it all. Literally down to trash bags provided for the week. We absolutely loved this house and had plenty of supplies and room. It was very clean and cold. The only thing that was a small inconvenience was the upstairs not really staying as cold as we would have liked and the thermostat did quit working on the last night making it go up to 76’ and having to just sleep above the sheets for a night. Maybe get some comfier chairs for the family area on the middle floor as when we watched movies in that space it was not comfortable unless you had a spot on the couch. Other than that it was the nicest place we have been at thus far. The area is amazing and we had the beach all to ourselves as well. The guys running the beach chairs are the best and never kicked us off them until 5-5:10 which is unheard of usually those guys pick up cushions by 4.
  Overall would absolutely recommend this house !!

  Great home on the beach that can accommodate a large family. Beautiful kitchen and dining area but the greatest part of the home is the covered porch overlooking the Gulf Of Mexico. It is a great place to gather, dine and relax.

  Teresa n John P from Fort Loramie, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great time! This was our first timing renting on the beach and we all just really enjoyed this. Our grandkids flew kites, buried each other in the sand and at night went out crab hunting. Just simple fun on a beautiful beach and wonderful home. I would add a larger rug on the back porch for sand. The only slight bummer was the large oven was not working - we have a tradition to make cookies and casseroles for easy meals. The smaller oven worked, just took more time. Not to take away from the comments above. We had a great time and hopefully this property will be available for our next family trip. We also enjoyed going to the restaurants on the property. This made going out to dinner so easy and accessible. We had live music too!! Easter Sunday outdoor mass was very special too! Thank you to Karen and Rachel for taking great care of us and also bringing us beach toys! Carillon Beach is a safe beautiful village for families!
