Comfortable stay for a fall getaway

There are many good attributes to share about the Veranda Villa- the porch space is amazing, daily morning breeze was wonderful, loved having access to fresh basil and rosemary for cooking, gas stove, plenty of dishes, platters, glassware. We enjoyed the surround sound system, the location of the home to the beach is awesome, as well as close to the front entrance. Christine was good with communication and also so generous to share access to so many things in the home. On the contrary, there were also some areas of concern and disappointment- the home does not showcase in person as shown in pictures at all. The rugs are filthy and furniture needs extensive cleaning and/or replaced. The mattresses and bedding are also very fatigued and top layers needed to be washed. We felt the need to clean our way into the home to be comfortable. It is a home at the beach and understand it receives a lot of wear and tear but was not to our standard of cleanliness and comfort level. The home has beautiful bones but needs some updating and a lot of TLC.

This house was just right for our party of 6. The central location within Carillon is ideal—short walk to the beach walkover, pools, pickle ball courts, and beach cafe. The master bathroom looks to be newly updated and it is beautiful! Hope to be back soon!

Carillon has become one of our favorite family beach vacation spots! This 3-bedroom, comfortable, and well-equipped home was in a great location to the beach walk-over. We also rented their personal golf cart to help get extra chairs, beach equipment and a toddler there a little easier, even though it is a very short walk. Unfortunately, our family is growing and we will need to find a 4-bedroom house next time, but know many of you reading reviews will be interested in knowing the air conditioning worked so well- we like a very cold sleeping environment, the queen and king beds were super comfortable with nice sheets, blankets and comforters. There was always plenty of very hot water for showers! Our favorite part though was the wrap around porch that caught a nice breeze and had plenty of seating. It was very helpful to get a lot of details from Christine before going to best pack/ shop and appreciate the personal touch she provided this experience.

This home was fantastic. Located in the best area for people walking by to visit with while sitting on the front porch. It was a highlight of our trip. Very clean and comfortable. Had a surprise birthday party on the wrap around porch for our family of 25. Every year we go to Carillon Beach with most of the entire family. Sister's family stayed within walking distance at Sittin Purdy. This was the best home we have stayed in and plan on staying there for years to come.

Veranda Villa is a nice house with a beautiful wrap around porch! We had 4 adults and 2 teens. We all had plenty of space. It is only 1 block from the beach entrance and the neighborhood cafe. The home is equipped with just about any appliance that you might need. The homeowner was wonderful! Check-in was easy and she had great suggestions on places to eat and included us on events for the neighborhood the week we stayed.

This is a lovely property in a fabulous little community just outside Panama City beach. There was easy access to the airport, groceries and other local communities with great restaurants, etc. The house fit our family of 4 and our friends family of 3 well (with understanding the toddler slept in closet of parent’s bedroom). Plenty of great gathering space, large adult bedrooms, and a very well stocked kitchen. The owners communicated well and were very willing to answer questions in advance to make packing/ planning easier. They provide beach towels, sand toys, etc that all were more than enough for our group. We chose to rent the golf cart at a VERY good rate, and that was an excellent addition. There are 3 pools in the community (2 are normally heated). The owners provide a set of beach chairs complete with umbrella that are fabulous, as they are right by the unit. Even though it as Spring break, it wasn’t too crazy busy. We really enjoyed the family feel and the friendliness of the other visiting families (most of whom seem to come from the mid-west the week we were there). We were unlucky in the weather and experienced a bit of a cold front for our trip, but the house, community, and area all led to plenty of fun despite the chilly temps. The only heads up- the mattresses leave a little something to be desired. With the ocean air and lovely stress free environment I still slept great- but could bother some.

We love this house and the location. This is our second time staying in this area. Christine was a great host and communicated great with me. She even let us go in a couple hours early to change and then we hung out at the beach while the house was cleaned. The house was just enough space for our family of 5. We love the close proximity to the beach. It was also a great bonus to have two beach chairs with an umbrella. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need to cook meals in. We had a few rainy days and loved being able to sit out on the covers porch and listen to the rain. We loved being able to walk around this awesome community. We will for sure be back to stay here again. Thank you for opening your house to our family.
