Amazing location, house and owners
We stay at Carillon every year and this property was a great location (very close to walk over to the beach). The house was great and we had everything we needed for cooking! The pool was great for after we came back from the beach. The owners were very attentive to make sure we enjoyed our stay. It was an amazing week!

An Unforgettable Stay at Livin’ the Dream
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Livin' The Dream beach house at Carillon Beach for the 2nd time, and it was truly a dream come true for our family of 10. The house was not only clean but also well equipped to cater to all our needs during our beach vacation. Our stay was hassle-free and allowed us to focus on creating lasting memories with our loved ones. Melody is a fantastic and attentive host. We recommend renting a golf cart to explore the Carillon Beach Community - our "night rides" were a highlight for the kids each night and it was so fun to get ice cream each night at the Little Beach Cafe. We were lucky enough to be there during the 4th of July parade and summer concert series, which added an extra layer of excitement to our stay. It was a fantastic way to celebrate the holiday and create lasting memories with our family. We highly recommend this beach house to anyone seeking a remarkable vacation experience.

We will be back!
We have been renting vacation properties for over 25 years, and Living the Dream has definitely been our favorite rental! Melody is an absolute dream to work with! She was wonderful with communication, and it was obvious she wanted us to have a great time! The home has everything you could possibly need… every small appliance to beautiful linens/towels and plenty of rolled beach towels! Melody and Randy’s home is beautifully decorated. It’s even prettier in person than the online pictures. It sits on a quiet street in Carillon and is so close to the beach walkover. This is the first time we have not stayed beachfront, and I have to say we didn’t miss it at all! The kids loved playing in the ocean as well as the pool at the house. The hot tub was a nice addition as well. The pool house is adorable and well-furnished, too! Our son had the place to himself and thoroughly enjoyed the extra privacy! Thank you Melody and Randy for sharing your beautiful home! We felt right at home and plan to be back again!!

Fantastic, multi area property.
Fantastic house with very responsive hosts. The pool is great, easy walk to the uncrowded beach. The neighborhood is extremely safe. Using both houses on this property allowed some space for quiet or work, napping or loud game playing. We would love to return again.

Why they chose this property

The beach within steps of this property has been a favorite of our family for over 30 years. It's sands have carried us from honeymoon, babymoon, anniversaries, to daughter and son-in-loves to grandkids and toward retirement. With a growing family and cherished friends we have dreamed of a beautifully designed family vacation home where there is comfortable room and space for everyone on what we believe is one of nature's most beautiful coasts. In 2018, after a family beach trip returning to the area, our dream was realized and Livin' The Dream was established. We have tried to create a fresh "rarely found" experience to share with family, friends and special guests.

What makes this property unique

All registered guests at "Livin' The Dream" enjoy the privileges of Carillon Beach amenities such as gated and secured access, the beachside pool, heated children's pool and garden pool, playground, basketball court, tennis court and special seasonal community events like holiday celebrations, movie nights and concerts on the green.
