Incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Powell make this beautiful property the perfect vacation home! Sitting on a corner lot and just 400 footsteps from the beach.
This house offers privacy and has porches on every level. The open plan featuring a chef’s kitchen, large great room, porch, dining space, powder room, and master suite with private bath on main level. On the second level you will find the second master suite, bunk room with private bath, and second guest suite and a full laundry room. The Third level features a third large master suite with gulf views; as well as, a second entertaining space with tv/xbox and access to the ultimate top floor deck.

Additional rental chairs are available.
Carillon Beach offers private beach access, multiple pools, private Lake Carillon, close proximity to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) and much more! Guests have access to three Carillon swimming pools, full size basketball court, tennis courts, pickleball, playground, green game area, and free concerts.

Downtown Carillon and many surrounding coastal communities offer many dining, shopping, yoga/fitness, biking, golfing, spa and entertainment districts options. Bikes and paddle board rentals are available in downtown Carillon. Additional Beach rental services are also available through La Dolce Vita.
Couple of items of importance you should aware of before your stay: - Our home allows for parking in the driveway for up to 3 mid sized vehicles (will be tight fit) or 2 vehicles and a golf cart rental. Carillon HOA has a clear parking policy that no guest vehicles can be parked on HOA common area overnight. We just want to be upfront about this so you can plan accordingly. - Carillon HOA also does NOT allow for owner golf carts to be operated in Carillon Beach. All golf carts must be rented to operate in Carillon Beach. - All pools in Carillon now have a gate code for entry and exit to the pools. We will send this to you closer to your arrival date
MOST IMPORTANTLY, we will need to register you at the security gate for access to Carillon. I will need to know the number of vehicles (up to 3) and the primary driver of each (who will be driving into the gate the first day of arrival), your email address, and cell phone number. PLEASE GET THIS TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We will register each vehicle/primary driver which will prompt an introduction/link via email and text to Carillon's gate entry system. You will need to register each vehicle and driver on this system and pay a fee of $35 per vehicle (plus a credit card processing fee). Once this is all completed you will receive a QR Code which can be screen shot and saved on your phone to scan at the QR Code reader located at the security gate. If for some reason the QR Code doesn't work you can enter the PIN CODE that is also included with the QR Code information. This registration and payment must we completed before your arrival for entry into Carillon.
“Making Memories” is a vacation home that rents exclusively to persons over 25 years of age or families.

It’s the vacation we look forward to every year!
Michele and Shannon are always so helpful and quick to respond. We love the home and carillon beach! Great place, always.
We loved our time at Making Memories! The house was spacious, clean and wonderfully equipped. Having the beach chairs available and waiting for us on the beach was a huge plus, especially with a two year old in tow!
We had the MOST fun in Carillon Beach. The house was perfect. It had all the things and it was clean and in a great location. The owners were responsive and kind when I missed a detail. We would definitely stay here again!
We loved our stay in this beautiful home! Would definitely choose to stay here again in the future! Michele was sweet to check in with us while we were there and communicated details that made our trip more seamless. Lovely home that made for a wonderful stay in Carillon!
This was our second stay at Making Memories. Our family of 13 including 5 children (6 and under) had another wonderful stay. The hosts are very responsive and the home is beautiful. Having 4 king bedrooms and a bunk room is perfect and is hard to find anywhere else. We rented a golf cart which made getting to the beach very easy. Carillon Beach is definitely a little slice of heaven. We’ll definitely be returning again!
We have been coming to Carillon for 10 years with our family. We now have our kids and grandkids. This was a great house due to a great kitchen and great floor plan for speeding out the generations
We have been coming to Carillon Beach for nearly 20 years. We have stayed in many different homes but this is my first repeat... That is how much we love Making Memories! Wonderful space, comfortable beds, great location, and amazingly responsive owners. Five stars all the way!!
We absolutely loved everything about this house. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you may want or need to prepare any meal. The mattresses were very comfortable and a hit with the entire family. Michele was a great host, very accommodating and quick to respond. The house was extremely clean which is important to our family. We loved the layout of this home. It fit the needs of our family perfectly. We will be booking Making Memories again for our next vacation.
My family and I stayed here for my wedding celebration at the Meeting House in Carillon. It was perfection! The space is perfect for allowing family time but also separate time. It was a beautiful home for getting ready photos as well. The included beach chairs were an added bonus for some beach relaxation. Michele was amazing with communicating to top it off. My family is already looking to plan another stay here in the future.
I almost want to give one star so no one will discover this hidden gem! Several families from our hometown all called Carillon home for a week and I have to say we had the best house of them all! The ground floor master was perfect for the grandparents while the two kings on second floor were great for two families…the bunk room and third floor are perfect if you have groups of boys and girls cause they all had their own space. Perfect location to all the amenities in the community and we felt comfortable letting our kids venture on their own because of how small Carillon is and the gated feature adds a sense of safety. Beach was gorgeous as well! We will be back
There are so many highlights to mention about our stay at Making Memories, but I have to begin with the neighborhood itself. The house is nestled in a delightful corner of a safe and beautiful gated community with twinkling palm trees that is a short walk to the ocean. The house itself is A+. From the dreamy beds to the inviting porches and the fully stocked kitchen, I can honestly say that this home tops our vrbo “bests” list! The cherry on top were the cushioned sun chairs with umbrellas reserved oceanside for us every day, as well as the excellent recommendations and communication from the hosts. If we are fortunate enough to return to Carillon Beach, we will return to Making Memories!!
Making Memories did not disappoint - clean, a well-stocked kitchen, and the toiletries in the bathrooms were a nice touch. The owner was very accessible and responsive - she alerted us as to the beach closures related to the shark attacks. Note that the beaches were only closed for one day. The floorplan was outstanding for our party - 8 adults and 4 under 4. Plenty of floorspace in the larger bedrooms for a pack and play (we even put one in the master bedroom closet :) ). Loved the drop zone inside by the back door for beach bags, towels and shoes. 5 minute walk to the beach or the family pool. Shady front porch as it faces one of the shaded common areas. We love Carillon - our second time going. The beaches aren't as crowded as 30A yet you are just a short drive to the 30A shops and restaurants.
Home is lovely and includes all you need for a great vacation. 6 beach chairs really nice! Hosts are kind and very responsive. We’ve already booked for 2026!
We had a big family reunion with friends and family and Michelle and Shannon were very attentive and the house was amazing! Very nice to have six beach chairs out in front of access
We had a wonderful time staying at Making Memories. We've stayed at Carillon on at least 6 other occasions and your home was the most accommodating and comfortable. Not to mention it looks great!
Plenty of room for our group of 11. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, walk to the beach was easy and the community was quiet and family-friendly. We enjoyed pickleball and tennis as well as the heated pool. Would stay here again.
This was our 4th time to stay in Making Memories. It has always been a great place to stay. The owners keep it in great repair. The weather was great, the water was beautiful, the house was as great as always.
