Vickie H., Odessa, TX United States
Great stay!
Recent Guest, knoxville, TN United States
Carillon is a hidden gem of the Emerald Coast and this property in particular is a hidden gem inside Carillon! The proximity of the home to the village and beach and kid pool was ideal. The house itself has a wonderful layout: 3 big bedrooms downstairs and 2 smaller bedrooms attached to the bunk playroom upstairs. The service provided by Beach Habitats 30A was wonderful. We had no issues! We will be back!
Fall Break
Recent Guest, ATHENS, GA United States
The house is excellent for large groups and in very good shape. This was our second time at SP and 8th time at CB. We really enjoy the yard for soccer, badminton, goofing around. We also like being close to the shops for ice cream, pizza etc. The beach is a close walk and the SP chairs are directly in front of the stairs (very nice).
Minor issues:
-there is some sort of generator in between the house and the Meeting House that runs 24/7. You can't hear it in the house but it's a low level hum outside.
-we could not get the TVs in the bedrooms to connect to the internet. The management company said they were sending someone out to take a look but that did not happen.
Neither of these things was a big deal and we would 100% stay here again. It's a great house.
Perfect home!
Recent Guest, Dallas, TX United States
We had our wedding next door at the meeting house chapel and this home was a perfect location! Stunning beautiful and large enough for our bridal party! The hosts were great and everything went perfectly!
Awesome vacation
Brittany M., Mandeville, LA US
Our family had the best vacation in Carillon Beach! And Sittin Purdy was the perfect rental for us with 3 families! It was situated in an ideal spot, and was fully stocked with everything that we needed for the week. The team at Beach Habitats 30A were so helpful with any of our needs. We will definitely be returning!
Girls beach trip

Myself and my 5 friends had a wonderful time at 'Sittin Purdy'. It was spacious with lots of spacious bathrooms. The home is bright and beautifully decorated. Perfect location with restaurants, beach, pools, pickleball and retail stores. This house is a great choice for adults or families. Will go back again. 5 stars

Absolutely 1st class home well situated in Carillon Beach. We brought our whole family of 15 and all enjoyed. We had a small issue and property management had taken care of before we got back from beach first day!

Wonderful home with great attention to detail
connie S., Great Bend, KS US
Sittin'Purdy made our 4 generation family beach week a success! We ate in for the majority of our meals and the chef's Kitchen was a dream. Wolf appliances are now on my "wish list". The mud room was a genius idea, and it was so well equipped with everything from beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, coolers, straw beach hats, and even a wagon to haul it all in. These are all items that we usually have to purchase and leave behind because we're flying. The large back yard was a great perk for our evening of yard games, they even supplied a corn hole game. We appreciated the sonic ice machine too! You can tell that lots of planning went into the details of this home. We look forward to returning to Sittin'Purdy!

A Gem in Carillon
Gina A., United States
We recently returned from a 2 week stay in Sittin Purdy. Our daughter got married in Carillon during our stay. Sittin Purdy is a beautifully appointed home, perfect for entertaining, large enough for a family to spread out and relax, play games in the back yard, or sitting quietly on the back porch with beautiful views of the lake. We also love Carillon Beach, rental of golf carts is easy, the beach is private and easy to access, and several pools to choose from. We will definitely be back!

I absolutely love that house and your company was great to work with. Hope to stay there again next summer.
