This is the best location, steps to the beach, coffee shop, general store and the community pools. The beach chairs/chair pads/umbrella already set up on the beach were a big bonus. The heated pool was a big win during colder days of our stay. The community is clean, well-maintained and friendly. The cottage has plenty of parking space, was nicely decorated, had plenty of supplies in the kitchen; overall a comfy stay. It was a little tight with 2 bigger kids but there were no complaints since we didn't spend much time inside.

Great house!

We loved this house. It’s right across from the beach access point and the pools/village are also a close and easy walk. The beach is not crowded and the included chairs were a bonus! Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay

We had a great stay at the Lazy Lizard. The house is steps from the ocean. It is an easy stroll to heated pools, shops, and more. The house itself was clean and as described in the listing. We would certainly stay here again.

Great stay at Lazy Lizard

We loved the house. It was as close to the beach as you can get without being on the beach. The house was very functional and met our needs very well.

Love Carillon Beach

This is our 5th time staying in Carillon Beach. We love the location with Publix across the road, the quiet beach and safe, quaint neighborhood. The Lazy Lizard was just enough for our family of four, very clean and comfortable and just across the street from the beach access. We thank you for a great stay!

Cozy cottage with great location

The property was clean with an awesome location directlyacross from a walkover to the beach. This was our 1st stay in Carillon and we absolutely loved the property/community. The check in and check out process was smooth and no issues. The owner was amazing and communication was great.

Carillon October Getaway

Excellent location, only a minute walk to the beach and a couple minute walk to the closest pool. Neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Weather was great in late October and beach was not busy at all.

Lazy Lizard was perfect for our family!

We traveled as a family (my wife and our two teenage boys). The Lazy Lizard was perfect for us because of the location and amenities. Only about 75 feet from the front door to beach crossover. Also, easy walking distance to the basketball court and Paradise Gym (both huge for our boys.) The included free beach chair setup was a nice touch that we used daily!

Truly an amazing property and location. Beach access was just steps away from the front door. Home had all the amenities necessary for a family of 4. We could not have asked for anything better. If you are looking for peace and quiet away from all the craziness this is by far the best you will find. We plan to be back and even discussed making this an annual family trip.

Perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an excellent time. The home was in great shape and clean when we arrived. It had all the amenities and extras you needed for a week-long stay at the beach. The neighborhood is beautiful is perfectly located near 30A, but not so close that it's in the mess of people and traffic. The home really is steps from the sand, right across the road from beach access. It is also in short walking distance from two of the community's three pools. I could go on and on about the home and the Carillon community in general, but suffice it to say we will be back year after year.

Some maintenance needed like toilet not flushing properly on main floor and poor locks on exterior doors. Had everything we needed to cook and eat! Nice yard and gazebo with table and chairs. Wonderful to be able to hear the ocean and feel the breeze. Perfect for relaxing!

Wonderful location

This was our second time staying at this cute house with wonderful location. We love Carrilon and will likley return next year. The location of the property is absolutely perfect which is why we stayed a second time. We were however once again disappointed to find that the downstairs bathroom still has all kinds of issues-the shower knobs don’t work well and are not marked hot/cold and still one falls off. Also you cannot shower upstairs and downstairs at the same time-the hot water only works in one bathroom at a time which was difficult with a family of 4. The grout in the bathroom needs deep cleaning or stripping-rather gross and not well maintained. Same with the outdoor shower. Some attention to the bathroom could easily make this place feel luxurious. Very comfy beds.
