A Perfect Stay

The Lucky Duck was just what we were looking for during our stay at Carillon Beach. The property was spacious, with plenty of room, and then some, for the 6 people staying there, and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. We were a very short walk to the pool and beach and the chairs and umbrellas that came with the stay were super convenient. We will plan to stay here again!

Great Location

The location and view is perfect! We loved the community, amenities and 2 sets of chairs! The home is spacious, comfortable and fully stocked. Having 3 king sized beds was great! The home is in need of a few updates. Overall it was clean, but musty, and the open cabinets need to be dusted before each guest arrives and that did not happen.

Nothing Not to Love!

The Lucky Duck is a lovely home, big and spacious indoor and outdoor spaces, with the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen! Our teens loved the third floor space and adults loved the spacious bedrooms and back porches facing the lake. Beach access and pool is a2 minutes away.

Lucky Duck Wins

Our family's favorite place is Carillon. We've stayed in many homes, but Lucky Duck is definitely the big winner! We loved the LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Watching the sunrise over the lake, having some beach views, being so close to the beach pool...truly in the heart of Carillon. The home was large and beautifully decorated. We would choose it again!

The perfect place in Carillon - indeed a “luck duck”...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve owned and rented all along 30a for over 28 years and this home is ABOVE all others in terms of location, beach access, cleanliness, comfort and all the areas we expect but rarely experience. Carillon Beach Rentals really has their act together and presents a carefully curated collection of homes and this one is a great example of how to do it right. We’ve had so many sub-par experiences that we thought the overall quality level had diminished but not in Carillon and not at all the case with Carillon Beach Rentals. This was truly a “must and shall return” for us. Every detail was taken - kitchen fully equipped and labeled, spotlessly clean, beds high quality and very comfortable thus avoiding the “miss my bed” syndrome. We highly recommend Carillon Beach Rentals and The Lucky Duck for a premier experience all around.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at the Lucky Duck! The location is prime, being on the lake and across the street from the beach and main pool. The porches on every level of the house allowed us to enjoy sitting outside to play cards or just enjoy the views. Love the 3 king size beds with our 3 couples, and extra beds for our daughter. The home is beautifully decorated and so comfortable! We would definitely rent this wonderful home again!

Christmas at Carillon

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had stayed at the Lucky Duck when it was under another name and was happy to see that it was now managed by Carillon Beach Rentals. We love the location of being on the Lake and a few short steps from the Beach Club Pool and the Main Beach Walkover. the house is very clean and spacious and has an open and well-equipped kitchen. The covered decks on the outside provide a great space to hang out. Kristi was very responsive to our questions and requests. We look forward to our next stay at the Lucky Duck.

Heaven on Earth

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 7th year at Carillon Beach and as usual it did not disappoint. We've vacationed other places, and this just feels like home to us. The Lucky Duck is probably the nicest place we have stayed in thus far. The house was big enough for our adult kids and younger kids to spread out and have their own spaces. I don't even think we used all of the porches!!! But the side porch with all the sitting chairs was definitely a fan favorite. Our friends rented a different house, but they have an avid fisherman in their family and he was able to fish in the lake right behind us. The weather didn't always cooperate with us this year, but it didn't stop us from having a wonderful and memorable time regardless. Karen was great to deal with, and I would never hesitate to rent from them again.

We LOVED this house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are a family of 4 that stayed here for Fall Break. This house was perfect. We had lots of room to spread out. There is a ton of outdoor living that we enjoyed every day. We loved backing up to the lake and it's a very short walk to the beach. You can see the ocean from the second and third floors. The house is right in the middle of everything and a very short walk to the downtown Carillon area. This was the best-stocked vacation rental I've ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything and more that we needed. The house was very clean, had nice linens and new bath towels. The beach towels that were provided were also a great bonus. The house included 4 chair rentals in a great location on the beach. Karen was very quick to respond and help us with an issue that was not directly related to the rental. I give this house 5 stars and would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your house with us! We hope to be back.

Christmas at the Lucky Duck

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was spectacular! Thee floor plan was especially good for our family demographic. We stayed in the downstairs guest room and our daughter, son in law and their 2 children shared the 2nd and 3rd floors. The amenities are top notch (vitamin blender, commercial washer and dryer, abundant cookware and serving pieces, and Keurig coffee machine). Being former landlords, we were sad to see how other families treated this lovely home. Cabinets were gauged and nicked and banisters were scratched. I can only speak for the first floor level, but the lamp bases in the living room and guest bedroom were covered in dust. The 1st floor bathroom shower had not been cleaned of the mold and/or mildew on the floor. The electrical outlet in the 1st floor bathroom as well as in the 2nd floor bathroom directly above the 1st floor bathroom did not work. It wasn't a big issue, but it was inconvenient to blow dry your hair in the bedroom without a mirror. We loved the fireplace!! And, since the weather was so cold, we used it almost every day.

Perfect location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Lucky Duck is perfectly located in this community by the sea. Steps from the beach front pool and walkable to anywhere in Carillon. Spaciousness makes it attractive for large families. I must say its popularity has taken its toll. This rental needs a deep cleaning and some restorative tender loving care.

Great location! Awesome community!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 7 loved staying at The Lucky Duck. All of the porches were one of the reasons we picked this house and they were great. The view of the lake from the kitchen and family room was a nice surprise I wasn’t expecting. We loved the incredibly short walk to the beach pool and our beach chairs. And that top balcony had such a great view of the ocean. We loved the location of this home. We could walk to the playground and basketball court and the other pool pretty easily. We also walked to get pizza one night and ice cream and walked to the Panama City Coffee shop ( wonderful, high quality coffee) several times. We hope to be able to come back and stay at The Lucky Duck again!
