Loved this place!
This is the best location, steps to the beach, coffee shop, general store and the community pools. The beach chairs/chair pads/umbrella already set up on the beach were a big bonus. The heated pool was a big win during colder days of our stay. The community is clean, well-maintained and friendly. The cottage has plenty of parking space, was nicely decorated, had plenty of supplies in the kitchen; overall a comfy stay. It was a little tight with 2 bigger kids but there were no complaints since we didn't spend much time inside.
He was very helpful we had a few water issues which was no fault of the property owner he found out what was causing it and let us know when it would be resolved by the city. The location was excellent! Next best thing to being right on the beach. Only steps away.
House was in an amazing location, and was beautiful. Was construction Nextdoor, but they were not intrusive and respectful of making noise at sleeping times.

Well appointed, great location, perfect weekend getaway.
We loved this house. It’s right across from the beach access point and the pools/village are also a close and easy walk. The beach is not crowded and the included chairs were a bonus! Would definitely stay here again.

This home was perfect for our stay for my daughter’s wedding. Perfect location. Any issues we had were handled immediately by the staff who were very friendly. Needs beach towels and more hangers. Also we ended up sleeping on the sofa bed (last minute guests joined us) and you need an egg crate topper or something to improve that mattress.
Enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Lizard. Beach was less than a minute walk. We had everything we needed. The hole was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
I sent the property owner a couple things to improve on, but the house was cute and cozy. I would stay here again!! Check in and out was a breeze! Quiet and charming neighborhood.
We had a great stay at the Lazy Lizard. The house is steps from the ocean. It is an easy stroll to heated pools, shops, and more. The house itself was clean and as described in the listing. We would certainly stay here again.
We loved the house. It was as close to the beach as you can get without being on the beach. The house was very functional and met our needs very well.

This is our 5th time staying in Carillon Beach. We love the location with Publix across the road, the quiet beach and safe, quaint neighborhood. The Lazy Lizard was just enough for our family of four, very clean and comfortable and just across the street from the beach access. We thank you for a great stay!
