Reviewer Comments: We had stayed at the Lucky Duck when it was under another name and was happy to see that it was now managed by Carillon Beach Rentals. We love the location of being on the Lake and a few short steps from the Beach Club Pool and the Main Beach Walkover. the house is very clean and spacious and has an open and well-equipped kitchen. The covered decks on the outside provide a great space to hang out. Kristi was very responsive to our questions and requests. We look forward to our next stay at the Lucky Duck. ##### Mark A.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve owned and rented all along 30a for over 28 years and this home is ABOVE all others in terms of location, beach access, cleanliness, comfort and all the areas we expect but rarely experience. Carillon Beach Rentals really has their act together and presents a carefully curated collection of homes and this one is a great example of how to do it right. We’ve had so many sub-par experiences that we thought the overall quality level had diminished but not in Carillon and not at all the case with Carillon Beach Rentals. This was truly a “must and shall return” for us. Every detail was taken - kitchen fully equipped and labeled, spotlessly clean, beds high quality and very comfortable thus avoiding the “miss my bed” syndrome. We highly recommend Carillon Beach Rentals and The Lucky Duck for a premier experience all around. ##### George P.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are a family of 4 that stayed here for Fall Break. This house was perfect. We had lots of room to spread out. There is a ton of outdoor living that we enjoyed every day. We loved backing up to the lake and it's a very short walk to the beach. You can see the ocean from the second and third floors. The house is right in the middle of everything and a very short walk to the downtown Carillon area. This was the best-stocked vacation rental I've ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything and more that we needed. The house was very clean, had nice linens and new bath towels. The beach towels that were provided were also a great bonus. The house included 4 chair rentals in a great location on the beach. Karen was very quick to respond and help us with an issue that was not directly related to the rental. I give this house 5 stars and would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your house with us! We hope to be back. ##### susy d.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Lucky Duck is perfectly located in this community by the sea. Steps from the beach front pool and walkable to anywhere in Carillon. Spaciousness makes it attractive for large families. I must say its popularity has taken its toll. This rental needs a deep cleaning and some restorative tender loving care. ##### Michael W.

The location couldn't have been better-two minutes from the pool and beach. Would definitely stay again. ##### Daunn S.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 7 loved staying at The Lucky Duck. All of the porches were one of the reasons we picked this house and they were great. The view of the lake from the kitchen and family room was a nice surprise I wasn’t expecting. We loved the incredibly short walk to the beach pool and our beach chairs. And that top balcony had such a great view of the ocean. We loved the location of this home. We could walk to the playground and basketball court and the other pool pretty easily. We also walked to get pizza one night and ice cream and walked to the Panama City Coffee shop ( wonderful, high quality coffee) several times. We hope to be able to come back and stay at The Lucky Duck again! ##### Alexandria C.

The exterior has unbelievable covered porches downstairs and upstairs. The screen porch on the back was a great escape from the heat during the day.

We loved the community, amenities and 2 sets of chairs! The home is spacious, comfortable and fully stocked. Having 3 king sized beds was great! The home is in need of a few updates. Overall it was clean, but musty, and the open cabinets need to be dusted before each guest arrives and that did not happen. ##### Vanessa C.
