Pros:
-layout was perfect for extended family to have their own space and places to congregate together
-community itself was nice, quiet, and safe
-it was as short walk to the pool and beach
- when we had a problem the company did respond to us quickly.
Cons:
- the pictures on the listing are deceiving on the amount of wear and tear on the house. Walls, furniture, outside furniture, etc
- there was mold in the showers, mold and standing water washing machine, sand in the dryer, sand and grit on the floors.
-only one small outside rug which meant you tracked everything inside because you couldn’t wipe off your feet outside the door or inside either. We found ourselves vacuuming every other day.
- not all large appliances worked: grill was in bad shape, dryer stopped working, and water dispenser on the fridge didn’t work.
- you do not get enough towels to get your through the week. Most of the rooms got 2-4 towels and we only got 4 wash clothes total. When the dryer quit working and we requested more towels and wash clothes they did bring us enough for 8 people for the week.
- you will need to bring your own or rent the chairs on the beach. The chairs they provided are for watching sports games, not the beach. It was very evident as they were starting to rust and turn colors.
While we loved our stay at Carillon Beach and will return we will not return to this house.
