Only feedback would be that we felt the kitchen could have been stocked a little better, more baking sheets, a scissors, some storage containers all would be great additions to the house. Thanks for a great week. ##### Anne M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle C. 20 Oct 2024 #### 2nd time at this house! We brought our teens to Carillon for the 2nd time. Stayed in Stella by the Sea both times! Great house! Lots of living space to spread out. We love the front porch seating! The kitchen is big and great for cooking! This house has 2 lofts with beds- so no doors to the rooms. One of them has a ladder and it resides inside one of the bedrooms. We have stayed twice in this house! We love it! Very close to the walkover to the beach! And it comes with 4 beach loungers and umbrellas. ##### Michelle C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meredith R. 30 Oct 2023 #### Amazing!! I spent my wedding weekend here in this house with all of my best friends. Not only was the house the perfect size for us, the balconies, the location was perfect. Close to everything you need! We made special memories in this house, thank you for sharing it with us. We did have one issue with the AC, but we contacted the rental company, and they were quick to send someone over within the hour, and we never had another issue after that. Also I would recommend providing at least one or two more trash bags for the guests. Thank you!! ##### Meredith R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eden S. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family summer trip We had a wonderful time over the week of the Fourth of July!
