Property and house were as good as it gets. The neighborhood was safe and secure. House was clean and very functional for our family. Everything worked as it should. I could tell the owners put a lot of thought into the and contents. We never said I wish we had this once. It was only a 45 second walk to the beach. Tons for kids to do in the development. We have actually already booked it again for Summer. Can’t go wrong with this property!! Highly recommend.

Awesome

We’ve vacationed at Carillon four times, each time staying in a different house — and this one was by far the best! The location is perfect, and the home had more than enough space for our family of five. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a relaxing stay. The owners were incredibly responsive and made everything easy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Vacation

We had a great time at A Glimpse of Heaven! Everything was exactly as described in the listing. The house was very clean, the kitchen stocked, and all beds and furniture was extremely comfortable. I loved reading on the porch every day. We were very appreciative of the beach chairs/umbrellas that are included--definitely a major perk used daily!! My son also very much enjoyed the boogie board and sand toys. We were grateful for the heated pool since our last two days were colder and red flags due to wind. We visited the coffee shops on site a few times, and purchased pickleball paddles/balls at the gift shop. I loved running in the community each morning; it's a very walkable and friendly community. One thing we quickly learned was that there was limited hot water. Back to back showers didn't work for us, so we learned to plan accordingly. Overall, we had a wonderful Spring Break. Thank you for hosting us!

Hidden Gem! We will return!

WOW, what a beautiful, peaceful, quiet place we found at Carillon! This community is so charming and has just enough amenities to enjoy. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and things to do for our family of 4, and I liked that it wasn't super crowded like so many of the other communities on 30A. The house was truly perfect for us. We loved all the beach decor, tons of natural light and how close it was to the beach walkover. When the water was too cold, we strolled for shells, built sandcastles and played games. We also brought our own pickleball gear to play one particularly cold spring morning. The house was well stocked with boogie boards, tons of sand toys, frisbees, etc. And having the luxury beach chair set up included was icing on the cake. We truly loved this house and Carillon and hope to come back in 2026!

We loved our time in Carillon and in this house. It was perfect for our family of five with close access to the beach and pool. The layout of the house with bedrooms on each floor was great for us and our daughter loved staying up in the crow’s nest room. The owners were very kind and communicative throughout the stay. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

This is the 5th or 6th time our family has stayed at Glimpse of Heaven. It is always a great time. The house is well-appointed and the proximity to the beach is perfect. We had a couple of glitches but Vickie was always available to fix them. Neither was the fault of the owners.

Great Location!!

The location of the property was great! I loved that it was gated and private. The house had all the amenities needed. During the time we were there, the Keurig was not working, and there is no air for the crows nest, but there are fans. Just a couple of negatives but nothing serious and did not impact our vacation. I did like the keyless entry but the front door did not lock properly from the outside so we would have someone lock it from the inside and they would walk around. Minor inconvenience and nothing serious. Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back!

One of our best Vacations!

This vacation rental was way more then advertised and just an overall fantastic time. The Hosts were very responsive to my multiple questions prior to the trip and gave me great restaurant trips and vacation options. As far as the house it was more than we expected, its location across from the beach entrance was perfect and such an easy walk. The neighborhood was welcoming and not crazy crowded as seen in other parts of PC beach. Hands down one of our best family trips.. Thank you so much
