Unforgettable!

We have been on other family vacations but this one was the best so far! The 5 kids loved the pool. The 6 adults loved the house and the location. The 2 sitting areas in the living room worked out great. The beach was a short walk. We have been to several places in Destin and Seaside but had never been to Carillon Beach. Tara was quick to get back to me when I had a question! We will definitely be back!

Another fantastic week at White Caps Inn

This is our third year in the house. The location of the home between the park and beach is ideal. It's perfectly setup for our family of 10 (6 adults, 4 boys) to each have our own space, with my parents taking the room on the main level. Tara is great host and always quick to respond with anything that might come up. Highly recommend!

Beautiful

The house was perfect for extended family, including teens. It had everything we needed for meals and relaxing in and outside of the house. The pool was great for all ages and the house has amazing access to the beach and everything the neighborhood has to offer (pools, shops, sidewalks for walking).

Fantastic Family Vacation!

White Caps Inn is exactly as described and an easy walk to the beach! We loved having the beach chairs and umbrellas. The layout of the house worked great for three couples and the grandchildren, who were happy they didn't have to share a room. The kitchen is fully stocked and we cooked every day, as well as using the gas grill. After a morning at the beach, we'd come back and swim in the private pool, and have evening swims. Plenty of seating in the yard and lots of pool and beach toys to use. We also enjoyed the large balcony off the master bedroom. There are so many great things about this house, it's hard to list them all from large dining table perfect for family game night, games, movies and books to use, large closets..it has everything you need and more. So easy to work with Tara. She communicates everything you need from reservation to departure. You will feel at home as soon as you arrive. The beach community is well maintained and peaceful, very nice for walking. Easy drive to grocery stores and restaurants. By the end of the week, no one wanted to leave and we can't wait to go back!

Just Perfect!!

We can’t say enough great things about this property. We just returned home from spending a week there with our 2 grown children, their spouses, and 4 grands (ages 6-11). Our family has rented a beach house for about the last 10 summers. This one was everyone’s favorite. First of all, we loved the neighborhood and the fact that it is in a gated community - so quiet and peaceful. The home was so cozy and we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the large front porch and the private balcony off of the master bedroom. The private pool was well maintained and large enough for all of us to enjoy. The walk to the beach was 3 minutes and we appreciated that we didn’t have to cross heavy traffic to get there. All the information we needed for our stay was delivered well in advance and Tara was wonderful to work with. Check-in was a breeze. White Caps Inn is just perfect!!

Perfect Beach Vacation!

Our family spent 2 glorious weeks at White Caps Inn and loved every minute! We have been vacationing in Carillon for years and thoroughly enjoyed the White Caps Inn. We will definitely make our reservations again for next year. The house is close to beach, plenty of bedrooms and a great pool for relaxing in after the ocean! White Caps Inn is a great place to make some memories!

Perfect for the family

The Bedroom configurations are just right for our growing family. We loved having 3 king-sized beds for all of the adults and separate room for the young grandchildren ( ages 3 and 5). The kitchen is well equipped and we loved having the grill available. Extra beach equipment was handy and of course everyone loved having our own private pool.

Family vacation with multiple generations

We have been visiting 30A twice a year for 7+ years. We stayed at Carillon Beach back in 2015 and decided it would be the perfect quiet community for this year’s family beach trip with grandparents and great grandparents. White Caps was designed to accommodate multiple generations. My 90 year old grandparents had the main floor master and there were still two more kings on the second floor. The twin room was perfect for a couple uncles and the kids had the bunk room. The walk to the beach was quick and having 4 designated beach lounge chairs was very convenient. We didn’t have to drag as much stuff to the beach and we also didn’t have to deal with any crowds. It was the most gorgeous private beach we’ve ever experienced in the area. The location is ideal to grab groceries, visit an urgent care or check out the amazing gulf restaurants nearby. Close enough to 30A that we didn’t miss any of our favorite traditions yet far enough we had zero traffic! Win win.

Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!

Like poetry! White Caps Inn was such an incredible place to stay. With limited travel due to the pandemic, this place welcomed our family of 8 with open arms. Upon entering the gate into the community we knew we made the right choice on picking WCI as our retreat for the week. Once we entered the property we knew we found an absolute gem! The home is just beautiful and within walking proximity to the stunning white-sand beach. The home had everything we needed during our stay and far more than most vacation rentals we have visited in the past. The host had a gift bag waiting for us which was such a sweet gesture and a nice keepsake to bring home. The balconies jetting out on each level allowed for us to enjoy the outside without having to leave the property. We had the pool heated for the week which was so nice for the sweet kiddos to be able to swim in every evening we returned from the beach. Beautifully done! It has been a week and already can’t wait to get back here! Some nice personal touches from the host related to local specialties. Communication from host was better than we’ve ever had! Go visit this place…it’s unreal!

Amazing experience from earliest correspondence until check out and beyond.

Loved our recent, inaugural, stay at White Caps Inn and Carillon Beach. The home was so well equipped, extremely welcoming, lovely and lovingly decorated, and what turned out to be a great location for our family of seven, all adults and one 8 month old. White Caps Inn was an easy home to navigate from the first day, as all areas, switches, cabinets, etc. are clearly labeled. My daughter commented that it felt so comfortable it was as if we were visiting a friend’s home. From the beginning, our host, Tara, was extremely helpful, accessible, knowledgeable, and responsive. We enjoyed the pool (a cool March, so we paid extra for it to be heated), the extremely well stocked kitchen, and the front porch for sitting, sleeping, and sipping! Tara manages several homes in Carillon, and I would rent from her (anywhere!) again. Carillon Beach is very quiet and nicely located between Panama City beaches and those at 30A. The resort lacks many extra amenities, but we enjoyed the community pool, tennis/pickle ball courts, two small restaurants, general store/bike rental, and walkability of the neighborhood. Only wish it were closer to our home on NC, but clearly worth our drive.

Fantastic Stay!

We rented the house with 2 other families, who also had small children! This was the perfect location, with a short walk to the beach! There was plenty of room for all of us and our littles to eat, sleep and play! The property owner was wonderfully and was thoughtful enough to even leave us a sweet gift! So many wonderful memories wore made with our families and kids! - The only confusion there was, was on the number of bunks. In case anyone else may be confused between the “bed pictures”. There is only 1 set of bunks (2 beds). This was not an issue for us at all, just want to specify for future rentals!

About the host

Hosted by Tara Rosso

We are a family from the St. Louis, Missouri area. Our family has been vacationing at Carillon Beach for decades. We Love it so much we bought White Caps Inn beach house so that we can enjoy it more often. Three of my siblings have also purchased homes in Carillon Beach. We hope to welcome you as our guests and trust you will enjoy the home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We were sold on the five bedrooms and private pool. The outdoor living space is phenomenal. And the fact that the house is less than a two minute walk to the beach! Carillon Beach is such a Hidden Gem! The layout of the house and all of the bedrooms makes it the perfect place for the whole family to vacation! We also loved the open floor plan and huge porches!

What makes this property unique

Our house has a usable fenced-in backyard with a private pool, That is hard to come by! We also enjoy the full size designated laundry room. In the evening we enjoy taking the spiral staircase up to the cupola and watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico! The outdoor shower at the back door is so convenient to rinse off from the beach before jumping into our private pool!
