Couple of items of importance you should aware of before your stay: - Our home allows for parking in the driveway for up to 3 mid sized vehicles (will be tight fit) or 2 vehicles and a golf cart rental. Carillon HOA has a clear parking policy that no guest vehicles can be parked on HOA common area overnight. We just want to be upfront about this so you can plan accordingly. - Carillon HOA also does NOT allow for owner golf carts to be operated in Carillon Beach. All golf carts must be rented to operate in Carillon Beach. - All pools in Carillon now have a gate code for entry and exit to the pools. We will send this to you closer to your arrival date
MOST IMPORTANTLY, we will need to register you at the security gate for access to Carillon. I will need to know the number of vehicles (up to 3) and the primary driver of each (who will be driving into the gate the first day of arrival), your email address, and cell phone number. PLEASE GET THIS TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We will register each vehicle/primary driver which will prompt an introduction/link via email and text to Carillon's gate entry system. You will need to register each vehicle and driver on this system and pay a fee of $35 per vehicle (plus a credit card processing fee). Once this is all completed you will receive a QR Code which can be screen shot and saved on your phone to scan at the QR Code reader located at the security gate. If for some reason the QR Code doesn't work you can enter the PIN CODE that is also included with the QR Code information. This registration and payment must we completed before your arrival for entry into Carillon.
“Making Memories” is a vacation home that rents exclusively to persons over 25 years of age or families.

We love staying in Carillon Beach and this house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed having the basketball and pickleball courts nearby, as well as the chair service at the beach.
Our family has stayed at several homes in Carillon and Making Memories is by far the best. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could imagine. The extra paper towels and toilet paper was most appreciated. Our 4 generation family have many memories to take home with us with the hopes of being able to return next year.
We absolutely loved our stay at Making Memories! This was our third year in the Carillon Cottage Court Area, and our tenth to this section of the beach. Making Memories was by far the best stay and was the perfect way to kick off the summer! The house was clean and well appointed with plenty of space. We enjoyed being on the back side of the courtyard for a quieter stay. The host was great to help us mid-week in getting another parking pass for family arriving a little later. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!
Our family enjoyed Making Memories at this beautiful home. Excellent location close to the beach and pool. The beach chairs are awesome, loungers were great for the teen’s and chairs close to ocean were an extra bonus! The well appointed kitchen was also a huge plus for our large family. The home was even better in person than the pictures represent!
Making Memories delivered again! This is our second year staying here and we will be back! Everything is perfect. Kitchen is fully equipped, beds and pillows are comfy, from the moment you walk in and are greeted by the comfy coastal decor to coffee on your balcony watching a sunrise and all the beach fun in between, you will truly be making memories. Speaking of the beach, Carillon has one of the best in Florida! The sand is clean and soft, the beach service is perfect (shout out to Stone!) and the best part even during spring break its never crowded. Thanks Michelle and family for a perfect home!
Home is lovely and includes all you need for a great vacation. 6 beach chairs really nice! Hosts are kind and very responsive. We’ve already booked for 2026!
We had a wonderful time staying at Making Memories. We've stayed at Carillon on at least 6 other occasions and your home was the most accommodating and comfortable. Not to mention it looks great!

Thanks so much and so glad you enjoyed Making Memories!
We had a big family reunion with friends and family and Michelle and Shannon were very attentive and the house was amazing! Very nice to have six beach chairs out in front of access
It’s the vacation we look forward to every year!
Michele and Shannon are always so helpful and quick to respond. We love the home and carillon beach! Great place, always.
Plenty of room for our group of 11. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, walk to the beach was easy and the community was quiet and family-friendly. We enjoyed pickleball and tennis as well as the heated pool. Would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at Making Memories! So much room for our 3 families. Very clean. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need with extra small fridge for drinks. Porches front and back with chairs were a great place for morning coffee. Could use a little more seating in main floor living room. Bedrooms upstairs were large with nice bathrooms and balconies. Top floor covered patio with lots of seating, TV, and a great view. Sad that main floor bedroom bathroom was so small. Short walk to pool and beach. Enjoyed the included chairs and umbrella at the beach. Nice, quiet neighborhood and beautiful landscaping. Close to stores too. I’m sure we’ll be back.
This was our 4th time to stay in Making Memories. It has always been a great place to stay. The owners keep it in great repair. The weather was great, the water was beautiful, the house was as great as always.
We loved our time at Making Memories! The house was spacious, clean and wonderfully equipped. Having the beach chairs available and waiting for us on the beach was a huge plus, especially with a two year old in tow!
We had the MOST fun in Carillon Beach. The house was perfect. It had all the things and it was clean and in a great location. The owners were responsive and kind when I missed a detail. We would definitely stay here again!
This was our second time staying at Making Memories and it didn’t disappoint! We love Carillon and it’s a beautiful house that is well stocked! Perfect for our group that had a large variety of ages.
