Great Location

The location and view is perfect! 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.

A Perfect Stay

The Lucky Duck was just what we were looking for during our stay at Carillon Beach. The property was spacious, with plenty of room, and then some, for the 6 people staying there, and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. We were a very short walk to the pool and beach and the chairs and umbrellas that came with the stay were super convenient. We will plan to stay here again!

Nothing Not to Love!

The Lucky Duck is a lovely home, big and spacious indoor and outdoor spaces, with the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen! Our teens loved the third floor space and adults loved the spacious bedrooms and back porches facing the lake. Beach access and pool is a2 minutes away.

Lucky Duck Wins

Our family's favorite place is Carillon. We've stayed in many homes, but Lucky Duck is definitely the big winner! We loved the LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Watching the sunrise over the lake, having some beach views, being so close to the beach pool...truly in the heart of Carillon. The home was large and beautifully decorated. We would choose it again!
