Amazing View and convenience
We rent a place in Carillon every summer. This was the first time at this property and I can say that the view and adjacent walkover make it a place we’d like to rent again. It was perfect for our family of four which consists of an 11 and 7 year old.

Gorgeous view!
We absolutely loved our stay at Slice of Heaven. Our family of 4 loved the beachfront view and the coziness of the home. The upstairs living and kitchen area is open and walks out to the most perfect covered porch for beach views. The master bedroom was very cozy. Our kids 14 and 12 enjoyed the bunk room too! Such a perfect place with a small family and also our small dog. Carillon Beach is our favorite place and we’d certainly stay again at Slice of Heaven! Thank you!!

Great place, no grill that was shown in pics. Very clean and comfortable. The best location in Destin/Fort Walton beach area. So secure and cool. Wish I could afford a place there. Great time.

Great place but problems
Pros: Amazing community Great pools GORGEOUS beach views and perfect beach access Nice decor Cons: Heater was not balanced - bedrooms downstairs were freezing and upstairs was boiling hot Sliding doors were warped and difficult to open and close - lots of wear Bedrooms smelled like mildew Washing machine did not work properly - spin cycle wasn't functioning and laundry had to be hung to dry all over unit Sheets on master bed were torn Overall, this is a beautiful community and a reasonably priced rental. With that said, however, there were several deal breakers 1. temperature control in 40 degree winter weather, and 2. a broken laundry room. At ANY price point, these should be basics. I did have AWESOME communication with the owner, but never heard from the property manager, to whom he deferred me. We would definitely stay in the community again, but are not sure we would stay in this rental.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful little coastal cottage!! The house was perfect and location couldn’t be better!! We rented a golf cart for evening rides, trips to the pools and the resort restaurants. Reserved beach chairs and umbrella right out front of property. Owner was very communicative and helpful! Perfect getaway!

Nice location and views
This house has amazing views and a great location. The house needs some work. The pocket doors don’t lock or shut all the way. We were staying with our teenagers and they wanted their privacy. Their door would not lock or stay shut. Cabinets throughout are chipped and worn. The bedrooms are very close together and small. There was no privacy. It may have been listed in the write up of the house but I don’t think I had a true sense of how small a carriage house was. Master shower head had some issues but we figured out a way to make it work. The view and location are 5 out of 5. This is what you are paying for.

The house was not as advertised
The house was dirty; the cable wasn’t working for the first 4 days of our stay; there was mildew on the upstairs ceiling; white woodwork/doors/cabinetry badly chipped. The entry/lower level, where the beds and both bathrooms were located, had no windows that opened so lack of fresh air was an issue— it was cold and damp. Cabinet doors were warped, drawers wouldn’t close. Disappointing….
