Carillon Beach is a gated, upscale beach community that has been featured in Southern Living and Coastal Living magazines. Offering great dining and entertainment, it is a slice of old Florida reminiscent of what Seaside and some of the other coastal villages were like years ago. And located 30 feet from the beach walkover in Carillon Beach, you'll find two new, custom designed beach houses, just perfect for beachcombers who like to relax. If you'd like to spend time at Carillon Beach, you won't find a better value than the Rock Lobster and Love Shack -- proudly owned and managed by the owners.
