About this property

Craftsman Inspired Beach Cottage Steps Away from Crystal Beach

Welcome to Dolphin Smiles at Carillon Beach. This custom, architectural beachside cottage home has been in the same family since it's birth in 1997. Imagine.......waking up to white sandy beaches coupled with the daunting task of deciding what gourmet restaurant to dine in, later that perfect day.

The master suite dominates nearly one half of the second floor. The private bath has dueling, coral blue vessel sinks and a large walk in rain head shower. The remaining second floor sleeping area offers a queen sized bedroom and adjacent third bedroom with duel twin bunks. All of the homes linens are clean crisp and white. Sunsets can't be missed atop your own private three story tower.

Great location, very clean, some issues, would stay again
This is a beautiful home with close access to the beach and pool. The lighthouse tower was terrific and the place was immaculate. Mark the owner was very responsive to the issues we had, which are listed below: 1. The beach service was atrocious. Not once during the entire week were our two chairs and umbrella set up when we arrived at the beach. We contacted Mark, who directed us to the beach service company, who said they’d follow up with the workers. It was incredibly frustrating. Bring your own equipment to avoid the hassle. 2. The microwave wasn’t functioning when we arrived. Mark had already ordered one that arrived on Tuesday. I was fine to install it myself, though it would’ve been hard for someone like my petite wife to do it on her own if I wasn’t with her. 3. The freezer never functioned. A repairman came out on Wednesday to clean the coils that still didn’t fix the problem. That meant no popsicles or ice cream for my four and two year old kids. We also had to buy bags of ice the entire week. 4. The master bathroom toilet sounds like an airplane toilet when flushed. 5. Bring a table fan for the kitchen. It gets extremely hot in the afternoon or when you’re cooking. There’s very little airflow. 6. The smallest bedroom needs blackout blinds. It gets very bright and very warm.

Great trip
This is the third time we've stayed at Dolphin Smiles. This is our favorite home in Carillon. The beds are comfortable and the walkover to the beach is just around the corner from the house. It fits our family perfectly.

About the host

Hosted by mark coston

Host profile image
I'm currently a custom home builder/ designer. My passions include architecture, travel and my family. Decompressing in life is critical these days and what better place to relax.

Why they chose this property

Relative proximity to Atlanta and other major airports. I've traveled quite extensively and I've yet to discover more pristine beaches. Quiet beach area but never lacking in fun activities.

What makes this property unique

I personally love the outdoor shower and outside fireplace. Today's lifestyle is a subtle blur between indoor and outdoor living.
