Kindness Matters was a wonderful home for our family to spend the Christmas holidays. The property was very clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was amazing and had everything needed to cook all meals for a large family. The home was in a perfect location with only a quick walk to the beach, pool/play area, and shops. We have visited Carillon many times before, and Kindness Matters has been our favorite home to rent! Highly recommend.
We loved everything about this house. It was perfect in every way. The bedrooms are spacious and we loved that each room had its on bathroom. The kitchen was stocked with all that we needed. The living space is very comfortable for games and conversations! We will rent this house again!
the house is perfect for a larger family, plenty of space to gather and sleep. super clean, very nice interior and awesome location to the beach and pools. parking was great, too. communication with the property manager was on point - no issues at all. would definitely return.

We were a family of 10 and this house was both spacious and warm. And the kitchen was well stocked and labeled. Finally, with the age of my grandkids, the close location to the downtown area and Village Green was a real plus. Kids loved getting treats from both the cafe and General Store and the moms loved walking for coffees. My daughter said it was her favorite house to date.

Kindness Matters is a beautiful home and was perfect for our group of 4 couples visiting for a wedding weekend. The home is spacious and had everything we needed. Location is centrally located and convenient to the beach, courts, and the Village. Would definitely stay again!
Kindness Matters was one of several homes in Carillon Beach used for friends and family for our son’s wedding. However, Kindness Matters was the nicest one of the lot. Our hosts, Karen and her team, took great care of us and everything was perfect. She even answered a few questions while she herself was on vacation out of the country! Thank you for being an integral part of a very important weekend for our family!

We absolutely loved this house. Feels brand-new...I think it was built in early 2020, but it still feels like it just got built. It was very ,very clean. Everything is in great shape, really nice finishes, great kitchen, wide hallways, a lot of living space, outdoor covered fireplace that we used every is great! Great location in Carillon--really close to the Main St/village area, and also really close to two walkovers. And easy for our kids to get to the basketball court. It was our family of 6 and another family of 5, and we all had plenty of room. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will be back!

Thank you for your 5 Star review. Kindness Matters is all that you described and more. It is also proximate to the meeting house and very popular with brides and wedding participants. The owners of this home are very fastidious and constantly look for ways to "make it better." Hope to see you again soon, Jimmy.

Everything about this stay was excellent! We wouldn't change a thing! The house is so well equipped and thought out. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking/grilling, it was nice having beach towels so we didn't have to travel w/them and the proximity to the beach was great! We really enjoyed having a lake view and spent our mornings having breakfast on the porch. The outdoor fireplace was great to have at night (spring break weather is always unpredictable). Couldn't have really wanted anything else. We love this community and loved the house just as much! Grocery store was super convenient and we enjoyed driving to other communities on 30A but having a smaller, less crowded community to come home to! The beach was not crowded like we've seen in other areas of 30A and it was nice having the chairs and umbrellas! We hope to come back for another stay in this same house again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Kindness Matters lives up to their name. Carillon Beach Rentals was top notch! They were responsive, flexible, communicative, and kind! Thank you, Karen and Eric!The house was wonderful! Super clean, spacious and charming.A lot of rentals say they have a stocked kitchen and end up short. I was pleased with all they had. Ample pots and pans, multiple cutting boards, plenty of plates...the beverage fridge and separate ice machine was a very nice bonus!In addition, the house came with plenty of towels (kitchen, bath, and beach), dish soap, dishwasher tablets, and laundry detergent. We took advantage of all the community had to offer. We shopped the shops, ate the food, drank the wine, rode the bikes, attended the concerts, used the pools, played the courts, and loved the beach.We are thankful for a great trip. We'll be back again soon!
