It takes clarity, confidence, and connection to trustworthy information AND the right people.

So as you explore West PCB, don’t try to figure it all out on your own. Use this guide to learn, but then lean on the experts featured inside.
Why is West PCB so Special?
Carillon Beach
Carillon Beach is a gated, pedestrian‑friendly “village by the sea” that feels purpose‑built for families and high‑end guests. Inside the gates you get a calm, curated streetscape, multiple community pools, a small town center/green, and private beach access—so your guests can park once and settle into vacation mode.
Bordering Lake Powell (Florida’s largest coastal dune lake) and sitting minutes from Camp Helen State Park, Carillon combines pristine shoreline with rare nature access—great for marketing and repeat bookings.
For owners, the consistent look, private gates, and amenities support premium ADRs and longer shoulder seasons. If your investment thesis values order, safety, private access, and a resort‑like feel without the noise of central PCB, Carillon is a standout on the west end.

Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach is the west end’s Old‑Florida escape—low‑key, mostly cottages and mom‑and‑pop spots, with an identity built around keeping things simple and uncrowded. A defining feature is the community’s “Reserved Beach”—about 0.7 miles of undeveloped shoreline preserved on the south side of Front Beach Road—helping maintain that open‑sand, no‑wall‑of‑towers feel that guests love.
The result is a slower pace, fewer high‑rises, and easy access to both Pier Park and 30A, which broadens your demand funnel.
For investors, Laguna’s blend of lower density, strong drive‑to access, and authentic vibe supports steady family bookings without the premium pricing of 30A’s most famous villages—often improving cash‑on‑cash while keeping operations simple.

Sunnyside
Sunnyside is a quiet, west‑end pocket that consistently appeals to families and guests who want fewer crowds but quick access to everything—minutes to 30A over the Lake Powell bridge and a short drive to central PCB. The neighborhood skews residential and laid‑back, with primarily homes rather than towers, which keeps the beaches calmer and the guest experience relaxed.
For owners, Sunnyside often represents an attainable entry into the coastal STR market on the west end—close enough to market the 30A experience while benefiting from PCB convenience and lower density. It’s the place to position value + calm + access—a combination that fills calendars for guests who care more about beach days and easy logistics than a formal village scene.
