You and the house are lovely!
We felt like we had the beach to ourselves, even in the middle of summer. And the walk back up to the house was easy even for 77 year-old.
The house was beautiful and had amazing views. We were overall pleased with our stay. The refrigerator did not work well, but the agency took care of us and provided us with a small refrigerator. They were easy to converse with and promptly took care of our problems. I would say that each room needed a few more towels, but other than that, we were delighted.We can highly recommend renting this property.

This beautiful home was a welcome retreat from the busyness of life for our family! My husband and I, along with our 3 adult children and their spouses/6 young children, had spaces of their own but the great room and kitchen/dining area were large enough to accommodate us all when together! The media room was a great place for an occasional movie for the kids. The high chair and the crib in the walk-in MBR closet was so appreciated! The kitchen was well-supplied with cookware, utensils, dishes and even toddler plates/utensils. There were also plenty of beach towels! Our family loved staying directly on the beach, which was beautiful! We appreciated the 2 sets of umbrella and 2 chairs. The walkway to the beach was just outside our back porch. We also enjoyed Carillon Beach Community’s pools, one of which was just a few yards away. Rachel and Karen,with Carillon, were just a phone call away before we arrived and during our stay and quickly responded to any question we had. I highly recommend Wooden Shoe?☺️

I want to give this one star so our little secret doesn't go viral but this home deserves all the glory of a 5 star review. Carillon itself is charming and full of amenities in the best location. But THIS home is absolutely perfect for fantastic ocean views - family meals - great sleeping... all the things you would hope for on vacation. The hosts were amazing and helpful. And we made a friend (black stray cat we named Jungle) that we SO wish we could have taken home. What an enchanting week.

This place certainly has it all. Literally down to trash bags provided for the week. We absolutely loved this house and had plenty of supplies and room. It was very clean and cold. The only thing that was a small inconvenience was the upstairs not really staying as cold as we would have liked and the thermostat did quit working on the last night making it go up to 76’ and having to just sleep above the sheets for a night. Maybe get some comfier chairs for the family area on the middle floor as when we watched movies in that space it was not comfortable unless you had a spot on the couch. Other than that it was the nicest place we have been at thus far. The area is amazing and we had the beach all to ourselves as well. The guys running the beach chairs are the best and never kicked us off them until 5-5:10 which is unheard of usually those guys pick up cushions by 4.Overall would absolutely recommend this house !!

Great home on the beach that can accommodate a large family. Beautiful kitchen and dining area but the greatest part of the home is the covered porch overlooking the Gulf Of Mexico. It is a great place to gather, dine and relax.

We had a great time! This was our first timing renting on the beach and we all just really enjoyed this. Our grandkids flew kites, buried each other in the sand and at night went out crab hunting. Just simple fun on a beautiful beach and wonderful home. I would add a larger rug on the back porch for sand. The only slight bummer was the large oven was not working - we have a tradition to make cookies and casseroles for easy meals. The smaller oven worked, just took more time. Not to take away from the comments above. We had a great time and hopefully this property will be available for our next family trip. We also enjoyed going to the restaurants on the property. This made going out to dinner so easy and accessible. We had live music too!! Easter Sunday outdoor mass was very special too! Thank you to Karen and Rachel for taking great care of us and also bringing us beach toys! Carillon Beach is a safe beautiful village for families!
Great property and location - the only real gripe is the check out at 9am which is a bit problematic - so make sure you are aware of that - they worked with us to check out at 10am for a small fee (and did allow an early check in when we arrived to their credit).

Our large family had a great week while staying at Wooden Shoe?. The preperty is spacious and we never felt crowded. We were all able to dine together at the large table. The kitchen is very well stocked with high grade appliances as well as more utensils, pots and pans than you know what to do with. Best equipped house overall where we have ever stayed.Management was responsive to our questions and needs. Kudos for being so friendly and professional!The beach itself is very nice and not crowded like so many other beaches in this part of Florida. Beach service was outstanding. We are already booking our return trip for next year and look forward to another great stay at Wooden Shoe?.

We've been visiting Carillon for 20 summer and have stayed in many different homes, and this was our favorite. Wooden Shoe was spotless and is well appointed, in a great location in Carillon, and the customer service from Carillon Beach Rentals was top notch. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of dishes, all of the gadgets, a great ice machine, etc. The entire house stayed cool even on the warmest days. The beds were comfy and linens and towels (including for the beach and pools) plentiful. WiFi worked like a champ, although we all tried to avoid working while hanging out on the comfy porches and in the sand. We had 9 guests, but there was plenty of space for more in this well laid out and spacious home.
