This was our second year at Carillon and our first visit to the Fish and Whistle. We can't wait to come back! The house is immaculate, comfortable, and in a great location. Short walk to the beach in one direction and downtown in the other. We also can't say enough good things about Carillon Beach Rentals. The customer service was above and beyond.

Wonderful again. This is the second time we have stayed at Fish and Whistle and we love the layout of the house. The upgrades were nice and enjoyable. We love Carillon and have stayed here every year for 5 years now and look forward to staying every year to come. The management staff are very responsive and communicative. The entire process from booking to checking out was very easy and accommodating. Thanks for such good service and amenities.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was a perfect fit for our family and the bunk room penthouse suite couldn’t have been better! The kitchen was so well stocked that we never wished for a thing, even while making a full Thanksgiving dinner for our extended family of 15. Ample expendable supplies were provided (dishwashing, laundry, garbage bags, etc) such that we hardly needed any of the extras that we always bring when renting a house. Plus the thick, large beach towels and recreation supplies (rackets, paddles) - literally not a thing missing from a great experience. Located just 2 houses from a great community pool and 4 from beach walkover, everything was within easy walking distance. We are already talking about the best dates to return to this house next year.
