Our custom beach house is perfect for beachcombers who have come to 
relax and escape the stresses of everyday life. The spacious design 
can comfortably sleep eight, ten in a pinch. (We also provide a crib 
and high chair for those with small children.) Room arrangements 
include a queen master down, a queen master up, as well as two cozy 
bunk rooms each with a built-in bunk. The media room also has a 
comfortable queen fouton. 

Antique center-cut heart pine floors provide a warm and welcoming 
ambience throughout. Sweet Serenade cottage offers comfortable, 
casual beach style furniture by Lexington and Pottery Barn with 
cheerful linens. The home is wired inside and out with a sound 
system including multi-disk CD changer.

In addition to the four bedrooms, two living rooms, three full baths 
and two outdoor showers, Sweet Serenade boasts a custom fully 
equiped kitchen and a large ground level deck with outdoor gas 
grill. The third floor observatory has east and west facing decks, 
and a 360 degree view of Carillon Beach, the bell tower, and the 
Gulf of Mexico.

It is perfect for watching the magnificent sunsets or just enjoying 
the enchanting sounds of the carillon central to the community. 
("Carillon" means bell tower in french.) The Carillon is a $500K 
structure and centerpiece of the village. It softly chimes on the 
hour during the day, and is occasionally played by one of several 
skilled "carilloneurs" on the weekends and holidays!

Our beach home features several decks and porches on all 3 stories 
totaling over 900 square feet, with a hammock, glider, and rocking 
chairs enticing you to sit and enjoy the sea breezes. Located less 
than 100 yards from the sand in the upscale community of Carillon 
Beach, you won't find a better value for your escape than Sweet 
Serenade Cottage.

If you are looking for charm with spacious and spotlessly clean 
accommodations, Sweet Serenade is for you!
