House was awesome. Beautifully built with smart use of space. Plenty of room. Host was friendly & responsive. Loved having coffee on the deck in the morning and watching the sunsets in the evening. Only complaint—beds in primary bedrooms were terribly uncomfortable. It’s time to invest in new mattresses.

The Fish Carlton takes your breathe away from the moment you stand on the porch and lookout the front door window straight to the beautiful beach. My husband and I were married on the beach there. It has a hot tub a fabulous pool. Adequate supplies for cooking. Two fridges. Easy access to the beach. I for one will return. And of course we had the leaning house of PCB next door. Scary but fun! I prayed it stay standing. Lol. That is a mess that should have been handled by now. But I still took pics from afar! Great family destination or family reunions!

Annual framily trip

The location and views were amazing. However, the check-in process could have been more clear. I was never informed that I would receive an email from someone other than VRBO. Then in that email you have to download a different app to sign a rental agreement to get a code for the door. All but 2 beds had sand in them and clearly were not cleaned. We were told NOT to strip the beds because it was easier for housekeeping. We now know why. The hot tub would not keep temperature and you could only use one set of jets or it sprayed out of a knob that was caulked closed. The pillows were so flat and absolutely horrible. Its a really nice house but definitely has some minor issues.

It was so great to walk right onto the beach from the porch. The beds downstairs were like sleeping on boxsprings. A few things that were broke but the management Kelly was so kind and very prompt on getting them fixed. Loved the location. Was very easy to get to.

Beautiful Ocean View

This was the first time we chose a place in northern Florida. I think we should have probably waited another month or so for better weather. It was very cold, in the 40 degree range and made it harder to enjoy the property. The last couple days were in the 60's so it was more enjoyable. The property itself was nice and overall we had a good time.

Beautiful, convenient location. Being able to walk directly to the beach was so nice. Also, it was so convenient for the older children to go back and forth between the adults on the beach and the adults at the pool. The house's lay-out was perfect. My only recommendation is to invest in new mattresses. We hope to stay at the Fish Carlton again.

Great location

We had a lovely week. The beach was beautiful and just steps away. The house was exactly as described. We had a small maintenance issue and the maintenance men arrived in an hour and fixed it. The owner responded quickly to a question I had. The location was good - the beach was not too crowded, and there was a Publix 5 minutes away.

Amazing Vacation Home!

This was by far the best vacation home we have stayed in! The host was amazing, and was very quick to respond to any questions that we had. The location was perfect, within walking distance to restaurants. Having the pool and hot tub were definitely a huge hit with the whole family. The house was also perfectly laid out and fully equipped to make for a stress free vacation. We will definitely be returning in the future to make more lasting memories!!

Best Family Vacation

We got this house for a big family vaca with all of our kids had grand babies and it did not disappoint. The size of the house was perfect, everyone had plenty of space. We bounced between the beach and the pool all day and played cards games at the large kitchen table at night. We definitely plan on returning every two years. We made such amazing family memories that we all will cherish forever.
