Sandy Joy was perfect. Clean, spacious, and lovely with high ceilings, a stocked bookshelf for quiet afternoons and a balcony off the main bedroom overlooking a shared courtyard I found hard to leave, even for the beach! Close to the house our additional family was staying in about a block away, and an easy walk to the beach. Having a nice washer and dryer available was great and allowed for lighter packing. There were two beach chairs on the porch when we got there so could have rented two less beach chairs, and would suggest waving the parking fee for the first vehicle and charging only for additional vehicles, but other than that, it was exactly what we hoped for and more. Will be back if we have the opportunity in the future.
Everything was clean and the whole house was comfortable. The downside was that it is one of the few properties in the community that does not provide those permanent beach loungers and service. Instead they link up to some other company for just canvas chairs.
I really enjoyed my stay here. Everything I needed was in the home and it was within walking distance to the beach and the pool. I enjoyed chatting with other families in the neighborhood and I truly love that the home is in a family friendly gated community.
This place is amazing and so cozy that , we are making like our own to come back again, is now a tradition that we are keeping it
Thank you again to let us stay , we love our pink house!!
My husband and I met my daughter and her family at Carillon Beach for a few getaway days!!! The home we stayed at in the Carillon Beach neighborhood was perfect in every way!!! The neighborhood and beach were delightful!! The home was spotless, well stocked and extreme comfortable!!! We will be back!!!
As our grandson named it, we enjoyed our stay at the “pink house”. It was unanimous...we all loved the house and the community. It was a very well equipped with all the things needed to enjoy our stay. We hope to come back soon!
This is the 3rd time we visited Carillon Beach and we LOVE IT!!!This beach community is amazing and the house was exactly as described. It was perfect for my family. We will be back next year! We did a lot of front porch seating and the walk over was just very a short walk.
The house was charming. Two minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed the Weber grill that surprised us because it was not in the listing. Spacious bedrooms and all necessary utensils.

Alright
Not too private. Bring your own blankets. They don’t have extra blankets. VERY short walk to beach!
Can’t recommend Sandy Joy highly enough if you’re looking for a vacation in Carillon / 30A area. Great accommodations, clean, excellent location, easy walks to beach and pool, beautiful courtyard outside of house. For a five night stay we were only left with two each dishwasher and laundry pods, which is not enough for a family, but maybe we will just learn to bring our own going forward. That’s the only criticism I have. But would happily stay here again.
We had a wonderful experience at the Sandy Joy. The home was in a perfect location - close to the beach and pool. The home was comfortable and clean. If I had one criticism (and this is being very picky), the WiFi code was inaccurate and we couldn’t find someone to help us get the correct code. Me and my hubby had to make a few work meetings via zoom while at the home and we ended up having to use our hot spot. Otherwise, zero complaints and would totally stay again!
Our family of six came here for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The home is very spacious (our 4 kids are all adult-sized, aged 14-20) and so lovely! We were a 2 minute walk to the beach.. The only issue we had was that the WiFi password never did work. We did get a response from the maintenance number that they were working on it, but it didn’t get fixed in the time we were there. I’m sure it will be fixed promptly. Also, there are not beach chairs and umbrellas for us to use that go with the house. That should be included included in the description of the house, we thought. The voucher which came was perfect to use for these things, tho.
Also, it was great to get a text on our check-in day that the house was ready 2 hours early. Would definitely stay again!
