This house offers privacy and has porches on every level. The open plan featuring a chef’s kitchen, large great room, porch, dining space, powder room, and master suite with private bath on main level. On the second level you will find the second master suite, bunk room with private bath, and second guest suite and a full laundry room. The Third level features a third large master suite with gulf views; as well as, a second entertaining space with tv/xbox and access to the ultimate top floor deck. The Sky deck is fully equipped with the necessary entertainment connections and unbelievable views. Uniquely, this home has five bedrooms - four bedrooms all with king beds, televisions, and private bath and one bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds for a total of 4 beds, television, and private bath. This home is equipped with upgraded wireless, large outdoor natural gas grill, and two Xbox's. Remember to bring your Xbox games! Four reserved chaise lounge cushioned chairs with umbrellas and one canvas set of 2 chairs and one umbrella on the beach (from March 1 to October 31) are available with rental. Additional rental chairs are available.

Carillon Beach offers private beach access, multiple pools, private Lake Carillon, close proximity to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) and much more! Guests have access to three Carillon swimming pools, full size basketball court, tennis courts, pickleball, playground, green game area, and free concerts. Whether you want to engage in water sports, relax reading a book under your umbrella, see a beautiful sunset, or throw a fishing line into the surf, Carillon Beach is where it all happens.

Downtown Carillon and many surrounding coastal communities offer many dining, shopping, yoga/fitness, biking, golfing, spa and entertainment districts options. Bikes and paddle board rentals are available in downtown Carillon. Additional Beach rental services are also available through La Dolce Vita.

Couple of items of importance you should aware of before your stay: - Our home allows for parking in the driveway for up to 3 mid sized vehicles (will be tight fit) or 2 vehicles and a golf cart rental. Carillon HOA has a clear parking policy that no guest vehicles can be parked on HOA common area overnight. We just want to be upfront about this so you can plan accordingly. - Carillon HOA also does NOT allow for owner golf carts to be operated in Carillon Beach. All golf carts must be rented to operate in Carillon Beach. - All pools in Carillon now have a gate code for entry and exit to the pools. We will send this to you closer to your arrival date

MOST IMPORTANTLY, we will need to register you at the security gate for access to Carillon. I will need to know the number of vehicles (up to 3) and the primary driver of each (who will be driving into the gate the first day of arrival), your email address, and cell phone number. PLEASE GET THIS TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We will register each vehicle/primary driver which will prompt an introduction/link via email and text to Carillon's gate entry system. You will need to register each vehicle and driver on this system and pay a fee of $35 per vehicle (plus a credit card processing fee). Once this is all completed you will receive a QR Code which can be screen shot and saved on your phone to scan at the QR Code reader located at the security gate. If for some reason the QR Code doesn't work you can enter the PIN CODE that is also included with the QR Code information. This registration and payment must we completed before your arrival for entry into Carillon.

“Making Memories” is a vacation home that rents exclusively to persons over 25 years of age or families.

Spring break fun!

I almost want to give one star so no one will discover this hidden gem! Several families from our hometown all called Carillon home for a week and I have to say we had the best house of them all! The ground floor master was perfect for the grandparents while the two kings on second floor were great for two families…the bunk room and third floor are perfect if you have groups of boys and girls cause they all had their own space. Perfect location to all the amenities in the community and we felt comfortable letting our kids venture on their own because of how small Carillon is and the gated feature adds a sense of safety. Beach was gorgeous as well! We will be back

Great Carillon Beach vacation house!

Making Memories is an attractive, comfortable, well-equipped home in a quiet location convenient to the nearby pool and tennis courts and a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed our June week here very much! The six year old twins loved their bunk beds, and the adults liked relaxing in the 3rd floor open air room and in the porch rockers (On days when we were fortunate to have nice breezes!)

This home definitely lived up to its name! Many memories were made with our family and friends during our stay. The house had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of space for everyone in the kitchen and main gathering space and a short walk to the beach and pools. We can't wait to come back! Not enough great things can be said about our trip and experience at Making Memories!!

Perfect Home For A Wonderful Thanksgiving Stay

We absolutely loved everything about this house. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you may want or need to prepare any meal. The mattresses were very comfortable and a hit with the entire family. Michele was a great host, very accommodating and quick to respond. The house was extremely clean which is important to our family. We loved the layout of this home. It fit the needs of our family perfectly. We will be booking Making Memories again for our next vacation.

Perfect Home

My family and I stayed here for my wedding celebration at the Meeting House in Carillon. It was perfection! The space is perfect for allowing family time but also separate time. It was a beautiful home for getting ready photos as well. The included beach chairs were an added bonus for some beach relaxation. Michele was amazing with communicating to top it off. My family is already looking to plan another stay here in the future.

Even better than we imagined!

There are so many highlights to mention about our stay at Making Memories, but I have to begin with the neighborhood itself. The house is nestled in a delightful corner of a safe and beautiful gated community with twinkling palm trees that is a short walk to the ocean. The house itself is A+. From the dreamy beds to the inviting porches and the fully stocked kitchen, I can honestly say that this home tops our vrbo “bests” list! The cherry on top were the cushioned sun chairs with umbrellas reserved oceanside for us every day, as well as the excellent recommendations and communication from the hosts. If we are fortunate enough to return to Carillon Beach, we will return to Making Memories!!

Great house in awesome neighborhood!

House was immaculate and stocked with everything you need for a beach vacation. We had 3 families and 11 people and the house is set up perfect. All 5 bedrooms have their own bathrooms and that is a nice feature. We have stayed in 7 houses in Carillon and the 3rd floor deck on this house is the best setup of any of those houses. During several afternoon rainstorms we spent many hours out there. We had minor issue with Wi-Fi on the first stay but the owners were super responsive and helpful to get it resolved asap. Overall a great property and experience.

Gorgeous House, Responsive Owners

We’ve stayed in Carillon for about 10 years and this was one of the best houses we’ve stayed in. The furnishings and beds are all delightfully comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need plus there are additional refridgerators for wine and drinks. The house is very clean. The owners are very responsive when we reached out to them to help us. The 3rd floor outdoor space is a gem. You can see both the inlet lake and ocean from the 3rd floor. The joy of Carillon is renting different houses each year but this is definitely one I’d come back to!
