Debbie, thank you for staying. When i was writing to thank you i accidentally hit the wrong star button on my iphone, giving you less than 5 stars, this was completely unintentional and i will get with vrbo next week to change this.
You guys were fantastic guests, and welcome back any time.
Teaches me to try and do this on an iphone.

Great for family with young kids
The condo was perfect for our family. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach with a wagon and two toddlers. Being on the first floor made it ultra convenient for getting in and out with everything. Parking was always close and available. One of our favorite things was sitting on the porch overlooking the lake and enjoying a nice meal. Plenty of space, closets were a good size for pack & plays, showers and bathrooms are really nice. Overall, very pleasantly surprised with our stay at the sunset condo!

Perfect Stay for a Family Getaway
The Carillon Sunset condo was an awesome spot for our end of summer vacation. It had everything we needed and was a great layout. It was the perfect home away from home.
The Carillon Beach community was perfect with a pool just steps away and the beach a short walk away. The beach was beautiful and not crowded at all. In addition, I can't say enough about Rich and the Warren Beach Rental team. I had several questions and they immediately responded. They even came over to help us when we had an issue getting the sound to work on the TV. They did everything to make our stay the best it could be! It was a great experience!
We loved the Carillon area, space available, and ease of checking-in. However, I believe the property management company over-promises on the level of luxury to be expected at this condo. It’s not that the place was bad, but for the price and quality advertised, it did not hit the mark. It was small things that added up, like only leaving one trash bag and one dish easer tab for a 5-night stay for six adults. Plus, the complete pack of paper towels and other consumables that would be expected even in a 3-star accommodation was disappointing.

We send each guest an email that lays out in EXPLICIT detail exactly how the unit is equipped and furnished and tells each guest what to bring.
Been in business 30 years, don’t think we’ve ever gotten a 3 star review because we didn’t leave enough trash bags. That’s precious.
This unit is spectacular, spacious, comfortable and extremely clean. It deserves far better than this petty rating.

Condo Review
Overall, great location and loved Carillon beach. The community and beaches are amazing! In regards to our condo, many things were not functioning properly during our stay. The main refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen were not working, light bulbs needed changed, two of the TV’s were not working, Keurig was broken, and the oven/stove top was malfunctioning. The management team had the refrigerator repaired the last night of our stay and a back up was provided during our stay. They do warn you about providing very minimal extra supplies so bring extra. No cleaning supplies at all in the unit so unfortunately we had to buy those as well. The overall cleanliness of the unit was disappointing and it could really use a deep clean! Overall, the unit is spacious, beds are comfortable but definitely needs some basic upgrades.

apologize on the built in fridge. Those repairs are never easy or quick as parts sourcing is a nightmare. We did buy and install a $1200 refrigerator for you to assist. The cooktop and microwave was merely a GFCI in the kitchen. We pushed a button and it worked fine, again, this was handled within 15 minutes of your call. Not sure why this is made to be more of an issue than it was.
The unit was just deep cleaned and had been thoroughly inspected. We were at the unit 2 days in a row to assist you and asked each time is there anything else and were told repeatedly, that this place is awesome, thanks so much for all you did for us.
Surprising to get this review from you, our staff really did put in a lot of time, money and effort to accommodate you.
I guess no good dead goes unpunished.
Perfect spot for a quick spring break trip. The location of the condo is ideal - convenient, especially with little kids. Check in and check out process was seamless. We had more than enough space to enjoy our week together. Highly recommend.
