About this property

Searenity Now! in Carillon, w/6 seat golf cart, 3 Kg Bds, 4 Bch Chrs, & bch wlk

Searenity Now, located in the luscious Carillon Beach gated community on 30A in Panama City Beach, Florida, is steps from one of 3 pools and a 3 to 5-minute walk to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico within the neighborhood. But if walking is not your style, ride in a 2025 six seat golf cart to the walk-over to the beach or around the neighborhood for the week. For relaxation, the 2-story beach themed cottage includes 3 king en-suite bedrooms all with new purple mattresses—one of which is a spacious master and each with seated outdoor space. The smallest master is on the ground level—perfect for grandparents—and opens to the outside. A Graco Pack and Play is available for parents who prefer to leave the crib at home. Bed linens are sanitized—including bedspreads—to the highest standards between each rental. The open living area and ready to use kitchen include a Gas Stove/Oven, Keurig Duo, Instant Pot, Blender, waffle maker, cooking utensils and basic supplies. TV and Cable are available in the living area and each bedroom as well as WI-FI throughout. An electric grill is provided off the main living area on the screened porch, achieving fire inspection requirements. What is really special about this property is that it includes 4 on the beach cushioned chairs with umbrellas from March-October—extra seating is required by the renter. 6 Beach towels are included.

Searenity is waiting for you. See: https://carillonbeach.com/ for pools, restaurants, and other amenities in Carillon Compound.

Nice location - attentive property management

Great location, nice house and very smooth check in process. We had an appliance issue during our stay and the property manager was incredibly responsive and addressed our needs right away. Comfortable beds, basic linens, and supplies to get you started. The house does come with beach towels, however I would recommend bringing your own. They were on the smaller side.

Fabulous Vacation at Carillon Beach!

Absolutely loved our stay at SeaRenity Now! We loved the location right between the beach and park with pool/pickle ball. The home was well-stocked and comfortable for our family of 5. The host Darlene's communication was great getting us ready beforehand. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Can't beat the beach at Carillon. We loved having 4 reserved chairs. We can't wait to come back!

Our family had a wonderful time at Carillon Beach. Our grandbabies did not want to leave. Darlene was a wonderful host and took good care of us and made sure our needs were met. The home is so pretty and spacious. The walk to the beach is very short and the beach chairs and umbrellas were a plus. We would definitely stay here again.

You can’t beat the location-short walk to the beach and gulf side pool and right next door to the pickleball courts! Searenity Now will remain at the top of our list!

Another wonderful week at Carillon Beach

We have been visiting Carillon for 20 years and it is, and has always been, a beautiful community. The community pools and beach are easily accessible and well maintained, providing a great environment for a relaxing time. With 20 years of visiting Carillon, we have stayed at many different properties and we have to say, Searenity Now! was one of the best. First of all, this property was CLEAN, certainly one of the cleanest at which we have stayed. Every necessity and convenience was available, from the awesome grill to the abundance of flatware. And Darlene our host was accessible, prompt and extremely thorough with all of her communications. This might have been the first time that every bit of needed information was provided without us having to ask for it. All in all, a wonderful host, a wonderful house, and a wonderful vacation!

Searenity Now vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our Carrillon Beach vacation. Searenity Now was a perfect home for our family. We loved the spacious master suite, the screened-in porch and the location close to pool and beach. The home has so many nice features. The 4 beach chairs & 2 umbrellas made "beach time" so comfortable. Darlene was a wonderful host who was always available with a quick response.

Wonderful Spot for Family Spring Break!

We had an amazing stay at Searenity Now! The house was in a great location and short walk to the pool, recreation areas, and the beach. Darlene was a fantastic host and was on top of all communication before and during our trip. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with any cooking tool we needed. There were also a ton of board games available which enabled multiple family game nights after long days on the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely will be favoriting Searenity Now for future vacations at Carillon Beach!

Spring Break 2023

We had a wonderful time at Searenity Now. The walk to the beach is very short, and the house is super convenient to the playground, pool, and tennis court area. It’s also a short walk to the restaurants and shops. We love the community, and we come back every year. Darlene was very easy to communicate with, and the keypad at the door was a nice feature for check in as well as being able to come and go individually without having to worry about handing off keys. Wi-Fi was great. We would love to come back here another time!

Awesome Beach Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Searenity Now. Darlene was awesome to work with before and during our stay. The cottage was very clean with comfy beds, beautiful decor and an easy walk to the beach. We’ve vacationed in Carillon since 1996. This home is one of our favorites.

Wonderful fall break

We have so many wonderful memories in Carillon as we have been visiting this community for over a decade. We usually stay in a larger house on the beach, however our group was smaller this year, thus we option for a more cozy situation. We are so thankful that we were lucky enough to book Searenity Now. Our hosts were so gracious and accommodating. The house is lovey, updated, stocked with all necessary staples, and up to date electronics. The 4 beach chairs with umbrellas were wonderful and we spent long days lounging. We cannot wait to return and hope that our hosts will welcome us again!

July 2022 Family Vacation

House was very comfortable for a family of 5. Perfect location between a short 2-3 minute walk to the beach or a 1 minute walk to the community’s largest pool, basketball court and tennis courts. If you’re a pickle ball playing group be sure to bring your rackets and balls. Lines for pickle ball are painted and popup nets are available at the courts in the storage boxes.

A Great House

Our family has stayed in several houses in Carillon Beach, but this was - hand's down - our favorite. The layout is ideal for a family of four, and the house is a very easy walk to the beach or pool. The owner has done a great job of anticipating your needs (if you forget to pack something, chances are the house will have it). Check-in was a breeze, and the owner did a great job of communicating with us during and after our stay. We would have no qualms about renting here again.

Fantastic location and home!

Carillon Beach is a fantastic private beach and if you haven't been yet, you can't imagine what you're missing! We love this place. Searenity Now! is on the backside of the community, however with the way Carillon Beach is laid out, you're barely a 2 minute walk from the beach and the walk there is just adorable. All Carilon Beach homes have cute white picket fences around them with stone driveways and all have the cutest names like "Don't Tell Dad." We rented a golf cart this trip and while it was handy to run back and forth to the beach and back it's in no way necessary. But my kids loved having it to ride around the neighborhood. We also rented bikes as it's a perfect place to do that! Carillon Beach has 3 pools, but Searinity Now! is located very close to the family pool that has a playground and basketball court attached. There are also tennis courts there. The Bell Tower at the center of our side of the neighborhood plays bells every hour and is the beginning of our hide-and-go-seek games. Carillon Beach is really "Mayberry USA" and you and your family will love it. It's just minutes from Rosemary and Seaside so a quick visit there is fun, but you won't miss those crowded beaches at Carillon. Searenity Now! is located right at Beach Walkover #1 and the 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas are directly in front of the walkover. The house is in impeccable condition as it's very new, being built in 2017. The owner was extremely helpful with communication and has made sure the house has everything you could ever need! There are games, books, and plenty of appliances including a waffle maker, blender, coffee grinder, and duo coffee maker; even an InstaPot I put to good use! The beds (3 of them) are all King Sized beds and are all very comfortable. The grill on the back screened-in deck is really something special so I hope you get to use it! There is a walking area behind the house that walks straight to the pool and tennis courts. It is very lush and makes you feel like your balcony off the master is really private. We will definitely stay again at Searenity Now! when we come back to Carillon! Thanks, Darlene for making our stay a special one!

About the host

Hosted by Darlene Franklin

Host profile image
Welcome! We are Lloyd and Darlene Franklin. Lloyd is a Pediatrician and I'm a retired Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist that spent most of my time teaching nursing. Why name the cottage "Searenity Now!" We have 3 sons who can quote so many episodes of Seinfeld but when I--the mother--heard the phrase from George's father "Serenity Now--Serenity Now!!!" this became my mantra! Any mother with all boys can certainly relate. My boys are now wonderful men but my precious memories of their childhood cause me to laugh and cry out "Serenity Now!" Now waiting for grandchildren so I can watch them as fathers do the same.

Hope you enjoy our cottage!

Why they chose this property

Why this property? My sister and brother-in-law own beautiful property in Carillon and persuaded us to purchase as well. We own a nice beachfront penthouse in another part of Florida but being close to family is priceless.

What makes this property unique

We may not possess the views of our condo but the shorter commute and amenities are wonderful. Walking to breakfast, lunch or dinner on the compound is fun and the food is awesome. The lovely aqua beach and white sand is very much like the Caribbean. And I like that my house isn't too fancy--it's soft and comfortable--like being at home but at the beach. Yes, it's Searenity!
