About this property

Luxurious Cottage | Gulf Front Gated Community l Porches | Private Beach 2 blks

Welcome to Just Flew Inn! We can't wait to share our home with you!

Carillon Beach is the only gated community in Northwest Florida located on the Gulf of Mexico and consists of southern coastal style single-family homes. We are located just 2 miles east of Rosemary Beach and the rest of 30A and just 18 miles from NW Florida Beaches International airport. With multiple Southwest Airlines and Delta flights daily, you can start your day at home, and end it with happy hour on the beach!

This beach cottage is a 3-story 2400 sq. ft. luxury home tucked among the palms of Carillon Beach along the quaint promenade walkway. We are conveniently located right next to Bellview pool (heated year round), playground, tennis and basketball courts. And most importantly, we are just a 2-block walk to the sugar white sand of the Gulf of Mexico.

"Just Flew Inn" is the ideal home for family reunions, multi-family vacations, your wedding headquarters or a girls getaway. Comfortably sleeping 12, this 4 bed 4.5 bath home was thoughtfully designed for privacy with each bedroom having individual en suite baths, while still offering two large living spaces on the first and third floors.

With over 900 sq ft of porches, the 3rd floor private deck is where you will spend most of your time. Set above the trees, you will be sunning and dining in this spacious outdoor living room. Truly relaxing.

There are two master suites. The second floor suite has a soaking tub, his and hers vanity sinks and french doors that open to a private porch. Furnishings are stylish, casual and invite you to cozy on in. Rest easy knowing the kids are close by on the second floor with their own kids room, furnished with bunks and a 40" smart TV for rainy days.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a deep farm sink, island rinsing sink and granite counter tops. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking, baking, grilling and bartending needs. There is seating for 3 at the island for a quick breakfast before early morning deep-sea fishing, or to keep the cook company while prepping meals.

The well-designed floor plan has two separate living areas on the first and third floors. Each are equipped with 60" smart TVs/DVDs and seating for all. The first floor living room has a pull out queen sleeper sofa (sleeping 2), while the third floor has an attached wet bar/fridge. Both living spaces have three sets of french doors that completely open the space up to the attached porches, so you are never without the gulf breeze.

Your family and friends will love the privacy of four bedroom suites, each with an en suite bath and flat screen smart HDTV. The first floor master suite is easily accessible, (no stairs) and is well appointed with luxurious furnishings and bedding. A queen bed, mounted 40" smart HDTV and a tranquil view of the coastal forest behind the house will get your guests unwinding in no time.
The second floor master suite boasts a soaking tub and chandelier, oversized walk in shower, his and hers vanity sinks, luxurious King bed, 40" mounted smart HDTV and french doors that open to a private porch, surrounded by palm trees. The second floor kids room holds a bunk bed (twin over double) with a pull out trundle, a 40" mounted smart HDTV and a mini porch (with a secure lock if you prefer the kids not to use the porch). The full bath just off the kids room features a tub and shower.
A brand new washer and dryer are located on the 2nd floor between the bedrooms for your convenience.
The third floor bedroom is closed off by a charming barn door and is furnished with a lux queen sized bed; private balcony and a 40" mounted smart HDTV. A full bath is just off the bedroom with a shower/tub.

For those who want to stay connected to the office and/or social networking, you will find high-speed WiFi throughout the home. Please do plan on bringing your phone though, as there is no landline in the home.

The good news is, you are booking a home on one of the world's TOP 10 beaches! We are just a short 2-block walk from the front door to the beach. We are one of the few communities along this coast that is located on the south side of 30A, so you don't have to cross a hwy to get to the beach. Carillon is a gated community, so the only traffic you’ll see are golf carts and bikes! It is easy and safe for the family and the kids to go for a walk or a bike ride.
However, if you do want to get out and about, Carillon Beach is situated just east of Florida’s scenic Highway 30A and Lake Powell; 18 miles of bicycle paths will take you along the popular beach communities of Rosemary, Seacrest, Seaside, and Seagrove as well as several state parks.

If you love to shop, gotcha covered. Pier Park (Emerald coast’s newest destination shopping/theater/restaurant complex) is just a 10-minute drive east, and Destin's Silver Sands outlet Mall is just a 1/2 hour drive west.

If you're a golfer, our home has 8 championship courses within 15 minutes of Carillon Beach, including Camp Creek and Shark’s Tooth.

If you just want to relax and stay put, Carillon has plenty of amenities and activities, which include:
• White sandy beaches!
• Weekly Farmer's Market (in summer season)
• Concerts On The Green, free on Monday nights (in summer season)
• Outdoor Movies On The Green, free on Wednesday nights (in summer season)
• 3 swimming pools
• Children's pool
• Children's playground
• Tennis courts
• Basketball courts
• Golf cart, bicycle, kayak, stand up paddle (SUP) board rental deliveries
• Snorkeling, diving, deep sea fishing trips
• Lake Carillon
• Lake Powell, the largest coastal dune lake in Florida
• Sunday church service at the Meeting House
• Camp Helen State Park boating, fishing, hiking
• Downtown Carillon shops, galleries, restaurant, wine bar, spa, gym, coffee & ice cream shop

We provide beach service (March-Oct 15th) for guests. Service includes 4 chaise lounge chairs and 2 umbrellas set up daily for your use.

Additionally, Carillon is located just across the street from Publix and Winn-Dixie for your grocery needs and CVS for any forgotten items.

Ready to come stay and make some memories at "Just Flew Inn?!" Don't miss your chance to make a reservation today! All we need is a $500 security deposit. Please note: Minimum age requirement to book this property is age 26. Sorry - no smoking allowed. The cleaning fee is $400 and 11.5% FL sales tax is added to all rentals. Saturday to Saturday weekly rentals preferred. See calendar for minimum stay requirements and availability. Sorry, per Carillon rules, no RV, watercraft, trailer or large truck parking is permitted.

Planning your family beach trip is important, and we know you want everything to be perfect, so we have done our best to think of everything you will need. We are so excited to share Carillon Beach and our home with you! We hope you’ll make "Just Flew Inn" your family beach house and vacation tradition for years to come!

Beach House
The house was great! Large and roomy. Very clean and well stocked. It sleeps 12 but only let us bring 2 cars so it would have been nice to have the option to park a 3rd car nearby. The listing when we booked stated there were 2 beach chairs with umbrella set ups included but then we were told that was a mistake and it didn’t include this service. This compounded the problem with only 2 cars since we had to now include chairs and a tent for the beach. Great house! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the beach!

Just Perfect!
This was our second stay at this beautiful home and it was just as amazing as our first stay two years ago. We love this property so much that we have already reserved it for next summer. The layout of the home is perfect for large families or multiple families. There is plenty of space to spread out or come together -- whatever suits your group. It is situated in a part of the community that is like a fairytale - nestled in the trees with the twinkling lights that provide such a nice, relaxing experience each night under the stars. It is a beautifully appointed and really special home. We love Just Flew Inn!

Our best trip yet
First and foremost, we are no strangers to this community. We have known and loved it for years. This was, far and above, the best house we have stayed in to date. Everything was spotless, it was decorated perfectly, and the beds were so comfortable we asked what one of them was so we could purchase it at home. The management company took care of everything. The owners are top notch and did everything they could to make our stay as wonderful as possible. 10/10 recommend.

Nice but.......
We enjoyed our stay at Just Flew In but there were a few administrative hiccups that were frustrating. To get into the community at the guard gate, there is a QR code via an app that is required. The app was not working and we could not get into the community. We had a late check in on a Saturday evening so it took some time to remediate the issue. We were not provided the door code to get in to the house and enjoyed the stairs outside of the house for a while until it was provided. The big screen tv did not work on the third floor and was not replaced until the second to last day of our trip. The smoke detectors went off twice within 24 hours with the second occurrence at 4 a.m. and it took a while to get them turned off. Less than ideal with kids and our neighbors were less than pleased. Finally, the posting on VRBO does not disclose the seven day booking requirement like several other properties in the community disclose in their listing. We would book again because we liked the community and we gave the property the benefit of the doubt that we just happened to book on a bad week where some administrative things coincided. However, given the price point, we would expect to not have to deal with the issues we encountered. Otherwise, the beach was quiet and clean and the house suited our needs.

Lovely Property
This was such a nice property. We especially enjoyed all the different seating areas. We ate lunch and dinner each day on the screened in porch, played games on the upstairs outside deck and enjoyed the well equipped kitchen. This was one of our favorite properties so far!

Shady haven
Beautiful home with plenty of room for a large family. Well stocked kitchen if you'd like to cook, plus tons of dishes. Loved the balcony with swing bed and front screened in porch. Easy walk to the beach and very close to the pool and playground. It's a very shaded almost dark interior, but it's a welcome reprieve after a day in the sun.

Carillon is a tradition!
This was a nice cottage, with all that we needed. So close to the Basketball courts, which is important for our family, close to the Bellview Pool, which is the family pool. Not too far to the beach walkover #1. Been coming here for years. This cottage has lots of stairs so probably not good for the elderly, although there is a queen room on main floor.

Property was excellent overall and met our needs. Communication with VRBO property owner WAS unsatisfactory. Left several messages that went unanswered. Prior to our stay property management switched to 360 Blue and messaging was conflicting. Once I figured out who to talk the process was smoother. Access to neighborhood is difficult on check in day due to traffic. Limited parking in neighborhood

Family Friendly in Carillon.
This house was perfect for our needs. In the family friendly, gated community of Carillon Beach. We loved the short walk to play pickle-ball, the heated pool & beautiful beach. The house was beautiful and very clean upon arrival. We had amble room for three families to spread out comfortably. We especially enjoyed the porches for family game night. We had a 1 year old with us and the big bean bags were perfect as “baby gates” to block the stairs. There was also a portable high chair and pack n play which was very appreciated. We would consider ourselves blessed to come back!

Just Flew Inn Fall Break
Property overall was good. The cleanliness was lacking a little. We were also disappointed (after staying at Dolce Far Niete last year) with the lack of "small things" like dishwasher tabs, laundry tabs, toilet paper and paper towell. The parking isn't great trying to get 2 full size vehicles and a golf cart parked. The location of the closest electrical outlet to charge the golf cart was terrible.

Simply perfection!
We have stayed at a number of houses in Carillon Beach over the past twenty years. Just Flew Inn is now one of our favorites and we will definitely be booking again in the future. The home is stunning and the owners have thought of everything that guests may need - including plenty of hangers in the closet, extra bedding, kitchen essentials, etc. It is the perfect place for large families or multiple families traveling together as there is plenty of space. The entire third floor is like a separate house unto itself. We only had five people with us on vacation, but could have easily had double that with all of the space. It is located in a really sweet part of the neighborhood, close to the tennis courts, park, and family pool. Sitting on the porches at night, tucked away in the trees, was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The beach is a short, 5 minute walk. This home is truly special.

After traveling all over the globe with the Air Force we kept being pulled back to the beaches of 30A. A special place we love SO much, we had to share it with our friends and family... so we got married here! We were married in the Meeting House in 2014 and just adore this little community of Carillon. We can't wait to share our home with you... so you too can share in the unique quaintness of sweet Carillon. Welcome!
