The community is two miles from Scenic Highway 30A to the west, seven miles from Pier Park shopping and entertainment district to the east, and 18 miles from Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP).

Philips Inlet connects the lake to the ocean providing great fishing and bird watching in a serene setting.

This house has everything you’ll need for a perfect and careless vocation.
Fully stacked kitchen, clean rooms, and a perfect location; close to grocery stores and a few steps to a private clean beach.
We didn’t have to worry about buying toilet paper/paper towels/detergent etc.
Ed is a great host. Always on top of his emails, courteous, thoughtful, and prompt with his replies.
We are looking forward to booking this property again for our 2023 summer VK.
Thank you Ed for sharing your ‘other’ home with us!

My family really enjoyed our stay at Summerlight. The home was very beautifully decorated with bright beachy colors and artwork. The beds were so comfortable and the home was very well stocked with all the comforts of home. We loved how close Summerlight was to the beach walkover. Would highly recommend this home.

My family and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Summerlight. Ed was extremely communicative and attentive to every detail, correcting even minor annoyances instantly. We were so delighted when we arrived at all the location, details and colors of the property. The kitchen was so cheerful and light, and the bedrooms more serene. I truly think the pictures don’t do it justice. The location was perfect with maybe a half block between the home and the walkover to the beach. Chairs and umbrellas are set up everyday for guests on the beach and that was invaluable. We rented a golf cart for ease of getting to the pools, etc. but we really didn’t need to. Everything is close by and you aren’t permitted to leave Carillon property anyway. The screened porch was a lovely place to relax and absolutely all the comforts of home are provided by Ed. The house was quite stocked. Overall, the beds were very comfy but the lovely rattan furniture was slightly less so. The stairs were steep to the bedrooms so that’s something to note. We felt Summerlight was very well maintained and quite special. We would stay here again, no question.

Literally steps away from the beach walkover! Perfect cottage for a group of 4-6. The bunk room is small but our tween girls loved it. The house is fully stocked with bikes and all the beach gear you could want/need. The porch makes this cottage live large and has fans (I’ve noticed a lot of houses in Carillon do not have porch fans). Highly recommend :)

We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation with our 4, 3 and 1 year old children. The house is clean, well cared for, and stocked with all the necessary and helpful amenities to make for an enjoyable stay. All the baby items and beach toys make it easy to pack for a stay at Summerlight. The community is beautiful, well manicured and full of friendly faces. All the pools & restrooms were clean at all times. Ed was such a pleasure to work with before, during and after our stay. We look forward to returning!

Beautiful house and amazing location for our family of four. I could not have been happier with the convenient short stroll to the beach and pool. Other reviews weren't wrong about how well apportioned to the kitchen was. Every time we needed something we checked the drawer and there it was. Also, Ed's communication was fantastic at check in and throughout the visit. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. 5 star all the way

The house was great, well equipped kitchen and beach items, really everything a family needs. Very close to beach, just steps to walkover. We really enjoyed the neighborhood as well, beautiful homes and we met some friendly people. Not far from pool, we took bikes or golf cart but definitely could walk. Beach cafe and couple restaurants close as well. Publix or Winn Dixie less than 5 min drive. Would definitely recommend for couples or families.

My family (4) thoroughly enjoyed this house. It is less than a 5 minute casual stroll to the beach in a very quiet neighborhood with beach chairs setup everyday. The house itself reminded us of a modern twist on a classic beach house which my family greatly appreciated. Ed the owner made everything very easy for my family and responded quickly to any questions I asked. We have already decided that we will stay here again, only question is when.

This is our 2nd yr at Summerlight, and probably our 8th trip to Carillon . We absolutely Iove the community and this home. The porch is everyone’s favorite feature!

We had a great week at Summerlight. The location is perfect. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Ed provides so many extras like sunscreen, bikes, dishwasher soap and laundry detergent. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal. We spent most of our time at the beach and on the screened porch. We were able to end our day in comfortable beds. We hope to go back again.

Summerlight and Carillon was perfect for our week-long fall break trip! We were traveling with a toddler and a newborn, so the closeness to the beach, the provided highchair and crib, and the house's layout made everything that much easier.The owner was very engaged and checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. Additionally, we've had many rentals that barely had enough flatware. Summerlight was the opposite. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We'll definitely be staying again.

Having used vacation rentals for several years, this rental was exceptional. The stellar communication regarding property location, guard-at-the-gate requirements, and means by which to acquire the key were simple and clearly stated. The house was clean, well appointed (even unaccustomed soap/hand sanitizer provided), and easily suited my family’s needs/wants for our vacation. BRAVO.

Our family of four stayed during the July 4th week of 2020 and are already looking forward to coming back to Summerlight. The layout was perfect for smaller groups, with no wasted space and very aesthetic details everywhere. Contact with Ed via text/phone was seamless (we had internet/tc outages related to some local digging) and he worked hard to keep in touch during the problems.The 90-second walk to the beach was as easy as it gets, just like staying beachfront. And you still got all the ocean sounds and breezes, despite being a few houses further back in the neighborhood. Bikes and beach chairs were a huge plus!
5.0
As our family has grown we have tried different places to stay. Summerlight is the perfect combination of space and charm. If you want close to the beach and beautiful fun colors that welcome you inside this house is perfect! Here is to you Summerlight, until next time!
