Carillon Beach Gulf Front --In Rosemary Beach Area--Near Seaside

"A BAHAMA MAMA" & "A BANANA CABANA" . . .

Imagine a snow-white sand dune with swaying sea oats by almost Caribbean-green water on Carillon Beach, Florida.  That's where " A Bahama Mama"(vacation rental home), and "A Banana Cabana"(companion guest cottage) proudly sit.  You'll love the vibrant, expansive gulf sunsets here from outdoors and indoors.

Newly constructed, A Bahama Mama and A Banana Cabana provide casual, luxury accommodations with a coastal flair.  She is awash in light, airy well-appointed interiors with clean lines.  When you reach the spacious gulf-front rooms, you will pause . . . "Wow" . . . indoors brilliantly fuses with outdoors.

Add a heated private pool; by day, ideal for sunbathing on the pool deck as well as for relaxing in the loggia shade.  By night, the pool lights aqua glow transforms this same comfortable space into a cozy get-a-way.

Only now can you begin to appreciate--she is your perfect address in paradise; enjoy......

  we stayed at bahama mama and banana cabana in november 2008 . . . from the balconies, the sunsets over the ocean were magnificent . . . . both beach houses are really better than the website pictures . . . loved the floorplan of the houses . . . all open and ultra contemporary . . . everything is top of the line from kitchen appliances to a big lcd tv in every bedroom . . . the surrounding communities are upscale and really reminded me of european design and culture . . . . great spot for a family vacation or a group of friends looking to split the cost . . . highly recommended !!!
