Take It Eeaasy — Guest Reviews

The home was awesome!! The family enjoyed the week. Great location to get to the beach and pools. Clean and well set up home. Thanks for a great week.

Great family vacay Great location and beautiful neighborhood for families!

Beautiful location, house needs work Take It Easy was just that for us! We had the best most relaxing week in Carillon! The house itself was the perfect size for our group of 8 — two families with four kids. The house is located right on Lake Powell, 50 steps from beach walkover 6 and the beach pool, and about .25 mile from Lake Powell Pizza and Our Little Beach Cafe, so very convenient! Some things I want to note about the house itself to justify the 3 star review: 1) The exterior of the house could use a good power washing. There are dead bugs all over the porches, and in every roof overhang. Honestly surprised the neighborhood allows this level of upkeep. 2) The screens on the screened in porches are ripped in several places, so they flap and generally look bad. 3) Inside, the house is in similar shape. Every wall could stand to be painted, and the wood floors need to be refinished. 4) All three bathrooms are very small and grungy, again in need of maintenance or updating. The shower head drips in one of the king bedrooms, which is annoying all night long. 5) In the same king bedroom, the bed actually fell apart. We had to request maintenance to repair the slats that were half-hazardly “installed.” 6) There were sufficient pots/pans to cook with, and dishes to eat on, but plan to purchase your own spices, etc.

Property was just as described. My daughter got married in Carillon. Her bridal party get ready at the house. It was a magical weekend!!

Refrigerator broke We arrived and couldn’t get in the gate because we were Not given the appropriate QR code to scan for check in and NEVER received it while we stayed at the property. We were there for My daughter’s wedding weekend and needed a refrigerator for bridesmaids luncheon foods and wedding day brunch, etc but we arrived to a broken refrigerator and it did NOT get fixed. They brought us a mini fridge but was not sufficient for the food we needed. Otherwise place was very nice

My wife and I were on our Baby Moon, and this was the perfect place to stay! As the name of the house, "Take It Easy", is literally the perfect description of this property! This was the perfect house with private beach access and a private neighborhood for a quiet week getaway for the two of us. I loved the outdoor shower to clean off sand after going to the beach to keep the house clean. Literally the best place for a chill week or would be great for hosting families. The owners gave us a place and a week to remember with this rental!

Beautiful home Gorgeous 3 bedroom home (2 kings and twin/ double & twin bunk beds). All three bedrooms are upstairs, and an additional bathroom is downstairs. Has a Keurig and a 12oz coffee pot. Very clean and the owners even have a laminated print out with the channel listing. (I know that seems menial - but as someone who has had to scroll through each channel with a little one… this was huge!) The house backs up to the lake and the community it is in has beach access. The beach is gorgeous and clean. There is a guard that checks each vehicle as it comes in.

Perfect home for a family beach vacation!! Great location to the beach and pools, friendly community, and comfortable home to be in for a week!

Loved our stay and highly recommend!

Location was amazing. Inside was a little dated and just needs a little TLC; cobwebs in corners, little dirty, but the lake view and close proximity to the beach walk-over made up for all of it. We definitely want to come back and stay here again.

The location of this house in the development was perfect and the house was very comfortable.

We had the most wonderful stay at Take It Eeaazy in Carillon Beach! The location truly couldn’t be better—situated right on the lake with peaceful views, yet the beach crossover is basically right across the street, making it incredibly easy to go from coffee on the porch to toes in the sand in minutes.The home itself was very spacious and exceptionally clean, giving everyone plenty of room to relax. One of our favorite features was the outdoor space—two beautiful back porches (one screened-in) that were perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The front porch with the swing and rocking chairs added such a charming touch and made it feel like a true beach retreat.One of the highlights of staying in Carillon is being able to hop on the golf cart and cruise around town. We loved riding over for breakfast at Our Little Beach Cafe and grabbing an afternoon adult beverage at The Salty Bottle. And of course, a stop at The Shipwreck is always a must for the perfect little treasures to bring home and remember our Carillon stay.Overall, this home checked every box—beautiful location, comfortable space, and the perfect Carillon Beach experience.10/10 recommend Take It Eeaazy and Carillon Beach for your next Emerald Coast getaway!

The location was great. Just steps to the beach, lake behind the house and a great area.

Carillon is the best kept secret anywhere near or even on 30A. What a great neighborhood. House was fine for what we needed, but it was unseasonably cold and the heat had a hard time heating the downstairs. Scenic stays was very communicative and gave us everything we needed including laundry detergent (which isn't normal). Thank you for that.

We had a wonderful stay! Take it Easy is one of our favorite songs. So we were pleased with the name. The cute style caught our eye in 2014 when we first stayed in Carillon on the beach. We have been back many years to Carillon Beach at different houses. This house has a very open first floor with the kitchen and dinning area with table for 6 also a small couch with footrest to look out onto one of the screened porches facing the lake. You have a lovely view of the small Church. At night the lights of the condos light up the night , very pretty. The living room has 2 full couches and 2 side chairs arranged to face the big screen tv. The TV is visible from kitchen and dinning room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The master with king bed and access to the second porch over looking lake. The guest room is next to the master and is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The third room is the bunk room and it is very cute with 2 sets of bunks. One has single bed over full and one has a stairway to the top. This is sturdy bunks with wood frames. And enough floorspace to feel comfortable. This overlooks the beautiful Beachside drive lined with large palms. You are so close to the beach, just cross street and the walkover is in the area to the left. We had a wonderful stay and this home surprised us with style and open space. And the Gorgeous beach is the best sand ever.

Fantastic home and service Take it Easy was the perfect place for us. It had everything we needed and more. Scenic Stays made everything so easy and they were available for all questions. I definitely will be back

Great location! Comfortable stay! Scenic Stays was easy to deal with and provided great communication, very responsive. This house is right next to the beach access and very convenient. Beds were comfy. The home was clean on surfaces we used, but a deep cleaning is due. Things like cleaning the walls around the bathroom sink and baseboards. Just things I pay attention to, I didn't feel like it was overly dirty, but just needs to be done soon. The clothes washer is a front loader and needs a deep clean, it has that mildewy smell and mildew in the gasket around the washer. We had issues with the garbage disposal backing up in the sink. You can tell the home has some maintenance issues due to age and use. Not bad, but if it were mine, I'd want to address those things. Renting a home like this isn't inexpensive and considering that, I'd look for these things to be taken care of. But, I would book this home again due to it's size and location.

Check in was easy, host was responsive, location is top notch. The upstairs master sink drains very slowly and the kitchen sink backs up on one side when the garbage disposal is used. The clothes washer smells and needs some maintenance. Otherwise we were very pleased with our stay.

Great House! Second stay in Take it Easy. Overall great house in great location close to beach walkover and beach pool.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The home was very comfortable. Great location with the Lake in your backyard and the walkover a short distance to the Beach. We were on the sand in less than 3 minutes. Loved the bedroom set up and it was most convenient having 4 full bathrooms. One bathroom next to the side entrance where the outdoor shower was handy to dry off and make sure you didn't carry sand into the home. We would definitely stay here again! Love the Carillon Beach Community been vacationing here for 22 years.

Good stay, lovely neighborhood. Home needed front entrance repaired. Difficult unloading and loading vehicle. Bathroom sink in top left room not draining well and can light needs to be replaced. Bath in master has broken faucet. Just a little care needed.

Front door was broken. Bathroom sink would back up. Another bathroom had a broken faucet. Not saying we weren’t comfortable but property needs some care.

Amazing location, amazing beach I found my perfect bea

Take it Easy Fabulous community/home in a fantastic location! Loved every second of every minute I was there!

Plumbing Great location! Perfect layout for a family with 3 young children. Loved the shower out the back (side) door. We had a plumbing issue with one of the commodes and it took them over 24 hours to repair it. Kitchen was minimally stocked for anyone doing a lot of cooking. Other than those two minimal things it was great! Communication was excellent when I had to contact about commode.

Wonderful Beach House Take It Eeaazy is in a fantastic location. It's just a few steps from the easiest beach crossover at Carillon Beach and is an easy walk to two of the beautiful pools. It has two back porches overlooking Lake Carillon, and we loved time on these porches. The bedrooms are very nice, and we loved having four full bathrooms. The bathrooms are a bit small but pretty, and the showers are also a little small, but have great shower heads. The living area downstairs is so comfortable and spacious. The beds and bed linens felt so good. The home was spotless when we arrived, and ScenicStays made check-in and check-out very easy. We absolutely love this home! We hope to stay there again soon.

Needs Update and Touch Up Indoor and outdoor furniture needs a good cleaning, screens on the upper deck need replaced, landscaping needs to be cleaned up. Floors are showing a lot of wear and tear. Overall house was clean and location was great. Just needs a little TLC.

Take it easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great house very clean and well taken care of.

Worse than a Bit Worn House needs floors sanded and refinished, rugs replaced... broken furniture should be thrown away especially if it's outside and rusted. Porches need to be re-screened... outdoor cushions are molded. Bathrooms are too tight and awkward... washer and dryer with proximity of door is a pain also. Furniture although high quality is stained in some cases. Sprinkler heads are exposed and a tripping hazard going out of the driveway. Bedrooms are in better shape than downstairs and mattress are comfortable. We walked by last year and thought it was smaller and cute since we were taking less people it might be a good choice.

Beautiful home! This was our family’s favorite beach trip! We loved the house! It was beautiful and perfect for our family! The mornings were so peaceful on the porch overlooking the lake and the beach was just across the road. We definitely plan to stay here again!

Great house. We loved our stay at take it easy. The house was very clean and and living space is large. It is an easy walk to the beach and pools. Loved having 4 full bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable. And I appreciated that everything was very clean but just smelled fresh and not the strong smell of toxic cleaners. Also loved having an outdoor shower. The house was was well equipped and we will definitely rent here again.

Great Stay We had a wonderful stay at this house in beautiful Carillon. Great location right across from beach access, pretty views of the lake from the screened back porch, and a nice house we'd stay in again.

Great Stay We had a great stay in this house in beautiful Carillon. No complaints - thanks for the lovely stay we'll return and spread the word!

Great location and beach We did enjoy our stay. I do think this property needs some updating like fresh paint (chipped paint in most areas and lots of scuff marks everywhere) and hardwood floors were in very rough condition. It did not seem very clean compared to other houses we have rented in area. Over all we enjoyed our stay but at this price point I would expect walls and floors to look better.
