Our stay at Footprints in the Sand for an annual couples trip was perfect! We loved the large, well appointed kitchen and huge pantry. Coffee on the back porch every morning was wonderful. We walked the neighborhood every morning and hit the beach every afternoon! Pool was perfect for the evenings. Bejar and Natalya were fantastic hosts, Carillon is a special place and we will be back!

Perfect house in perfect location

Our family of four enjoyed everything about this property! The location could not have been better and the inclusion of the beach chairs /umbrella set along with the loungers was very convenient. We hardly needed to carry anything the short distance to the walkover. My daughter especially loved the bunk room and we all really enjoyed the private pool! Property was very clean and Sal was very easy to work with. We would absolutely stay here again!

Carillon Beach- Footprints In The Sand

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at this property. It has everything you could want in a vacation rental and is conveniently located to the walkover which makes it perfect for families with young children. The property was exceptional in all aspects. Also, the host was great about checking in to make sure you have everything you need for an unforgettable stay. We highly recommend this property.

Great house!

Footprints in the Sand is a fabulous house! We loved the proximity to the beach, the backyard pool,and the privacy of the green space behind the house. The garage/shed was well-stocked with chairs, umbrellas and beach toys! The construction across the street was loud, but it won’t last forever. Our family would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Family Getaway

This house is stunning! Perfect layout for elderly parents, my husband and I, and my sister and her husband and 3yr old. The private pool was used daily. Beach access was tough for my elderly parents which just made the pool even more valuable. The owners were super responsive. We will absolutely be back!

A happy place

My family thoroughly enjoyed our 4th of July week at Footprints in the Sand. The home was clean , and decorated with soothing decor. Having two master suites made our stay more comfortable, since we had all adults in our party. The beds were very comfortable. The beach access was so easy, and having access to four lounges, and umbrellas on the beach was so nice. We really enjoyed the homes private pool , especially in the evenings, with the fun lights. We have been coming to Carillon for several years, and always look forward to the 4th of July neighborhood parade. Thanks Natalya and Sal for making our stay easy and enjoyable.

Family Beach Trip

We had a wonderful week with our family in Carillon Beach at Footprints in the Sand. I have been to Carillon several times so it was wonderful sharing this special place with our son and his family. Our first time at Footprints in the Sand. Communication from our host was great and very responsive. The house was the perfect size for us. The kitchen is very well stocked for any kind of needs you may have. The pool was an extra plus for us and used every day. The bedrooms very comfortable for everyone. The only drawback which is no reflection of Footprints is there is several houses under construction across the street and one door over currently so there was some construction noise. We walked to the coffee shop and other eating places along with the beach store right in Carillon several times which was convenient and enjoyable. Wonderful week of creating lasting family memories!!

Amazing Vacation - Beautiful Home - Just Perfect!

My family spent Christmas and New Year’s at Footprints in the Sand. We have rented the same home at Carillon Beach many times over the past few years, but it was recently sold, and this was our first time staying at Footprints in the Sand. In summary, it was a perfect week, we loved the home and we will definitely rent this home again - We didn't want to leave. For my wife and I, cleanliness is always the main priority and there was no disappointment at this home. The cleanliness easily exceeded our picky expectations… Counters, floors, furniture, showers, tubs, toilets…Everything was literally spotless. With that out of the way, the home is so beautiful - We were so excited walking into the home and this is one of the rare exceptions where I can honestly say the photos do not capture the full beauty of the property. This honestly felt like we were staying in someone’s well-kept brand new private residence and not a vacation rental. I’ll skip many of the details available in the home’s description, but confirm that the kitchen is supplied with everything you need - We never had a moment where we didn’t have an item needed for food prep or drinks. The floor plan is nicely laid out, and combined with 10-foot ceilings, the home feels grand and spacious. The pool is just the right size for a refreshing dip and it’s just right for kids to burn-off some energy in the afternoon. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the front porch, the second floor balcony and out back around the pool. We spent many afternoons with a drink on the second floor balcony soaking up the sun while enjoying views of the gulf. The home is a very short walk to the beach…I’d say less than 60 seconds and you’re on the sand. Best of all, the owners are extremely polite and very responsive. They went out of their way to accommodate a few additional nights for our stay and gladly added pool heating (very reasonable fee) for our two kids. We had much needed relaxation and family time in your beautiful home - Thank you!!!

We had an incredible stay at this house!! The beds were super comfortable—honestly, some of the best we’ve ever slept in. The showers were fantastic, with great water pressure which was awesome after a long day at the beach. The house was spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The location is unbeatable, right by the beach where chairs were set up for us daily—a huge plus! The neighborhood is lovely, safe, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The private pool was a highlight, clean and perfect for lounging. Communication with the owner was seamless, always prompt and helpful. Highly recommend this gem for a perfect beach vacation!

Lovely, very clean home in great proximity to beach - 1 min walk from house to feet in the sand! The private pool was the icing on the cake - clean, refreshing, relaxing. Communication with owner was fantastic - Sal answered every question or request promptly and kindly. House has plenty of beach & pool towels, chairs, toys, umbrellas, etc, to use. We really enjoyed the front porches & back deck (esp the view of ocean). There is some construction at the end of the street & a few houses back behind the property, but you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere in Carillon that isn’t near some construction at the moment; it was not noticeable when inside. Would most definitely recommend & return

Beautiful House and Great Location

This house was by far our most favorite stay in Carillon. Super clean and beautiful house. Fully stocked with everything you need. The back covered porch over looking the pool was the best and furniture was comfy. Great walk to the beach and loved having 2 beach loungers and 2 chairs by the water. Sal was quick to answer any questions we had during our stay. Already booked it again for next year.

Footprints in the Sand

We much appreciated Sal sharing his beautiful home Footprints in the Sand for the week. The house was full of amenities that would allow for easy packing of personal items only. Very spacious as we were a party of 6 with more than enough room. Convenient beach access. We will absolutely stay here again. Owner responds quickly with descriptive instructions.
