    Beautiful home with the perfect location. Steps to the beach and community pool. Property is gorgeous. Clean beach. Many activities for the family Our only complaint was that the 3rd level Crows Nest was very warm as there is no acup there.it was shot week but uncomfortable up there. Rest of the house was very cool..

    Property and house were as good as it gets. The neighborhood was safe and secure. House was clean and very functional for our family. Everything worked as it should. I could tell the owners put a lot of thought into the and contents. We never said I wish we had this once. It was only a 45 second walk to the beach. Tons for kids to do in the development. We have actually already booked it again for Summer. Can’t go wrong with this property!! Highly recommend.

    We’ve vacationed at Carillon four times, each time staying in a different house — and this one was by far the best! The location is perfect, and the home had more than enough space for our family of five. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a relaxing stay. The owners were incredibly responsive and made everything easy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

    We had a great time at A Glimpse of Heaven! Everything was exactly as described in the listing. The house was very clean, the kitchen stocked, and all beds and furniture was extremely comfortable. I loved reading on the porch every day. We were very appreciative of the beach chairs/umbrellas that are included--definitely a major perk used daily!! My son also very much enjoyed the boogie board and sand toys. We were grateful for the heated pool since our last two days were colder and red flags due to wind. We visited the coffee shops on site a few times, and purchased pickleball paddles/balls at the gift shop. I loved running in the community each morning; it's a very walkable and friendly community. One thing we quickly learned was that there was limited hot water. Back to back showers didn't work for us, so we learned to plan accordingly. Overall, we had a wonderful Spring Break. Thank you for hosting us!

    WOW, what a beautiful, peaceful, quiet place we found at Carillon! This community is so charming and has just enough amenities to enjoy. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and things to do for our family of 4, and I liked that it wasn't super crowded like so many of the other communities on 30A. The house was truly perfect for us. We loved all the beach decor, tons of natural light and how close it was to the beach walkover. When the water was too cold, we strolled for shells, built sandcastles and played games. We also brought our own pickleball gear to play one particularly cold spring morning. The house was well stocked with boogie boards, tons of sand toys, frisbees, etc. And having the luxury beach chair set up included was icing on the cake. We truly loved this house and Carillon and hope to come back in 2026!

    This house was excellent. The space was perfect for our two teenagers who like lots of room. Has a well equipped kitchen and spacious living area. Proximity to beach access was great. Owners are really nice and kept us informed. Love this area of Florida and would definitely stay at this house again.

    This was a great property in a beautiful community! None of the Walton County crowds, just a very quiet, peaceful beautiful community. The beach was equally beautiful and no crowds! Loved the 2 beach setups that were included. We will be coming back for sure!

    We loved our time in Carillon and in this house. It was perfect for our family of five with close access to the beach and pool. The layout of the house with bedrooms on each floor was great for us and our daughter loved staying up in the crow’s nest room. The owners were very kind and communicative throughout the stay. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

    My family and I had a great, restful, stress-free stay. One of the best overall homes we’ve stayed in along 30A. The property had everything we needed. The location was perfect. The beach wasn’t over-crowded and the 4 beach chairs included were a plus. It’s hard to beat Carillon and a Glimpse of Heaven!!
