Livin The Dream 30A Features
There’s plenty of room for extended or multiple small families to enjoy spending time together after a day on the uncrowded and pristine beach on the two porches, pool deck, two indoor living rooms or spread out and retreat to private spaces enjoying one of 9 flat screen TVs.
Closeness to the beach is one of the things our guests love most about the property (about 80 steps to the beach walk-over). It’s so close, there’s no problem running back to the house to use your own restroom, grab a sandwich or refresh that drink.
Each house has a fully equipped kitchen and is stocked with everything your chefs will need.
The main house has a large gourmet kitchen with Thermador gas range and an assortment of small appliances (coffee maker, espresso machine, coffee bean grinder, Keurig K Cup Elite coffee maker, French press, InstaPot, tea kettle, Kitchen Aid Mixer, Ninja Blender, waffle maker, toaster, electric griddle, roaster, ice cream machine) and an amazing assortment of kitchen prep tools, bakeware and Viking stainless cookware.
We provide and initial supply of personal and household toiletries for your convenience.
There’s even a small crib room, highchair, booster chair, playpen and tub essentials for the little ones.
Beach lovers will enjoy the commercial 100 lb. ice machine, rolling cooler, beach towels, kids sand toys and 4 padded loungers on the sugar sand beach with 2 umbrellas and daily beach service provided (in season only).
The LocationAvoid the crowds, enjoy the action on 30A. “Livin’ The Dream” and “Poolside Paradise” is nestled in the secured, gated and architecturally renowned Carillon Beach Neighborhood. Carillon, “A Village by the Sea,” near all things 30A (1.8 mi. from Rosemary Beach), boasts one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the area with a 4,000 feet of pristine uncrowded beach and the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico on the Northwest Florida Panhandle.
The neighborhood is a great place for bike rides, walks down the Promenade or on and off the beach, other forms of fitness and fun within easy walking distance from the house and inside the neighborhood. Guests enjoy shopping and checking out the Carillon Marketplace and Shipwrecked General Store. Begin your day with a work out at Paradise Fitness and breakfast or lunch at “Our Little Beach Cafe.” Schedule a paddle boarding session, yoga on the beach, in studio or aerial yoga at Elements Yoga, or spa treatment at Baliage Spa. There’s plenty to enjoy with various beach rentals, playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball , 3 pools (beach, garden and a heated children’s pool with baby pool) and more.
Stroll over in the evening to “Gratify” restaurant for a cocktail and dinner on the patio or inside. Carillon Beach Neighborhood offers many seasonal events that are fun for the whole family I.e. “Movie Nights On the Lawn” and “Groovin’ On the Green” Concerts (seasonally.)
Publix and CVS are located just outside the neighborhood and are within walking distance. 30Avenue is less than 2 miles from the house and offers some of our favorite restaurants (Amici 30A, Amigo's, Cuvee 30A, Freshii, Barbacoa, 30A Burger, Marble Slab Ice Creamery, concerts on the lawn, games and more.

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.
