The Beach House, Panama City Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

This is a wonderful house on the beach in Carillon that is well-stocked with kitchen and beach needs. It is very well maintained and so cozy. Being directly on the beach just can't be beaten, and it is convenient to everything in Carillon. We will definitely stay here again if we can find a week that is open ;-).

Patricia Zimmerman's reply:

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to having you stay with us again. Thanks!

My family and I have stayed in this beautifully decorated well kept house every spring for close to 10 years now and love it. Only a few short steps to the beachfront pool and right on the beach. Have stayed at a couple of different homes in Destin but after we stayed here the first time we return year after year. The owners are very nice people that make sure you are comfortable with your stay.

My family and I have been coming to The Beach house for over 18 years. It feels like a second home to me. The days could be filled with a plethora of activities. situated between Lake Carillon, the beach house offers amazing views from waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the Lake and being stunned by breathtaking sunsets that could be compared to a Monet masterpiece. As a child my younger sister, friends, and I would ride our bikes around in this gated community going from pool to pool; participating in an activity we called "pool hopping." There are a couple wonderful shops in the little town of Carillon that we still love to visit. There is a little coffee shop up the street that serves a great breakfast, and across the street is the Lake House Restaurant that offers great dinning options with a beautiful view of the sunset over Lake Carrillon. The one thing that could not be beat elsewhere is the beach. The sand is a pure white powder, and the ocean is a stunning turquoise green. If I had the option, I could quite literally spend my entire life on this beach. The breeze carries a fresh floral aroma with a tinge of seaweed and saltwater. The ocean waves lapping up against the shore and the cooing of doves serve as a type of auditory therapy. The wildlife is so diverse during the day you could see everything from dolphins playing at dawn to the ghost crabs who crawl out of their holes after dusk. However cliché it might sound, this home will forever hold a special place in my heart and I hope to continue the family tradition of coming here every year. Thank you so much Pat and Vic!!!

The Beach House is an impeccably kept vacation rental. Every time we enter this home, we +continue to be impressed with how consistently clean it is year after year. The furniture is extremely comfortable and the home is so family friendly. The large bedrooms each have their own bathrooms which we really appreciate. The ocean view is unbelievable and we happily spend hours enjoying the view from the deck. The gated community is a gem which gives us comfort as our children move freely about the pools, tennis and basketball courts.

We just returned from staying a week at this house. Through the many beach vacations over the course of nearly forty-five years of marriage, we have loved staying in many houses, but this house is so lovingly decorated that we felt immediately like we were at home. The many personal touches throughout the house made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We were there with our children and four grandchildren, ranging from 2 1/2 to 12 and none of them wanted to leave. Everything is designed for families who want to be together without having to pack a lot of beach and swim toys. The close proximity of the gulf-front pool and the beach make a very delightful combination. The house was very clean, thanks to the wonderful housekeeper. We made many family memories and will treasure this vacation as one of the best. Thanks so much for allowing us to be at home in your beach house!

Our family had "the perfect" FAMILY vacation in Carillon Beach. The weather could not have been better and the accommendations exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not due it justice. Each bedrooms is "ensuite" which offers privacy and comfort for the everyone in the group. The location on this sandy white beach is perfect for dolphin viewing (and we saw quite a few swim by) and relaxing with morning coffee. The home is well equipped with every need and them some. Pack light and head to "the Beach House". My 4 year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter were able to play on the sand directly outside our deck while we sat comfortably and watched. The gated community is safe from passing cars which offers additional peace of mind. Pack a few swim suits and have a wonderful trip.

We had an outstanding stay at Pat and Vic's beautiful home for Fall Break with our 4 young children. This home could not be any better placed on this beautiful beach, and wonderful community. The home was wonderfully decorated, very well equipped for our large family, with everything you could possibly need. Bring some clothes and you really are good to go here! The master bedroom has a beautiful view of the ocean from the bed. I actually looked out of the window one night to see a falling star while laying in bed!! The patio overlooking the beach was large, and close enough that we could trust our 5 and 7 year old's to run around in the sand a bit while we could watch and shout to them from the table while finishing dinner! The patio sound system was great to listen to some Bob Marley while getting some shade for a break in the day. We even got to see a protected sea turtle nest "rescued" and baby sea turtles right in front of the house! There is a beach side pool just one house down, and 2 others ( one heated) in the gated community. The heated one is a short walk away that has a great basketball, tennis, and playground area for the kids. I selfishly debated sharing the reviews of this place, knowing that it could lead to it being even more difficult to arrange rental, but they deserve the business! We will be back!

Just returned from another week stay at The Beach House, our second time staying in Pat and Vic's beautiful beachfront home, and our 13th year in a row staying at Carillon! The perfect Gulf location. Everything was as we remembered it from last year. Comfortable, spotless, and all well appointed and in its place. Even with workmen with their nail guns, saws, and banging hammers 10 feet away Monday thru Friday 7am-5pm building the house next door......we managed to (mentally) block out their noise and enjoy our time with family on the beach. Pat wanted so badly to make the building commotion disappear but we both knew...."houses have to get built, whadda you gonna do...?" Can't wait until we go back back next year! Such a beautiful location. And ask Pat for the name of the personal shopper who will have the fridge stocked with whatever you need from Publix + makes the best pecan and coconut cream pies around...all waiting when you arrive for a VERY reasonable charge.
