About this property

Rosemary-rich Dunes and Shangri-la Serenity at Carillon Beach----Pet Friendly

Have you ever dreamed of a place where there was peace and serenity? Where living was not a struggle but a lasting delight? Of course you have...so has everyone since time began. Sometimes it is called Utopia.
We call it Shangri-la (Lost Horizon, 1933).

Imagine the moment you arrive...your eyes focus on the emerald green waters of the Gulf...now you are standing on your own private dune walkover just steps from the pristine sugar white sand...you breathe in the salt air and feel the Gulf breeze. Whatever worldly concerns you brought with you simply wash away with the ocean waves.

WELCOME TO SHANGRI-LA, our beach home and one we proudly share with you. Built into a beautiful sand dune, rich with sea oats, Shangri-la is a 3-story, 40 foot tall, sky blue 'sand castle.' Tucked in behind it is a white picket-fenced courtyard with our 2-story guest house, La-ti-da. This courtyard is completely closed off and is an excellent area for young children or pets to play. And yes, we are PET FRIENDLY.

Both inside and out, Shangri-la and La-ti-da, some 4,000 square feet, are professionally designed and decorated, employing color and space to be both beautiful and functional. Large enough to accommodate between 10 to 14 guests(depending on the mix of adults and children), our 6 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms and common areas allow for flexibility with sleeping arrangements.

Believe it or not....there are two 12' long teakwood suspended bridges spanning the second and third floors...amazing to see...a truly one-of-a-kind experience. You will not find another vacation home like Shangri-la.

Amazing Beach Access
This house was great for our family vacation. Carillon is our go-to beach because the neighborhood is amazing! Direct beach access from this property to your 6 reserved beach chairs can’t be beat. Sunset views from the porch were also wonderful. The house has a lot of stairs and the guest house spiral stairs were too challenging for grandma.

Perfect beach location
My family of 12 loved our beach vacation at Rosemary-rich dunes, and Shangri-La. You just can’t beat the beachfront location! Being able to walk a short distance to the waters edge is so nice with my young grandchildren. It has wonderful gathering areas in the dining, living and porch. It has enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our whole family to have their own privacy. The Carillon community, it is located in, is a treasure! It is a gated community therefore it is not crowded, it is very safe and a wonderful neighborhood to walk in. We also enjoyed several of the pools available in the community within a short walking distance. There are grocery stores and restaurants just a mile or two away. My family’s favorite activity was searching for sand crabs after dark so bring your flashlights!
