    Perfect location and perfect home for our family with three master suites and two bunk rooms! A very short walk to the beach and a splash pool the kids loved! It was very clean with plenty of towels. Communication was good with Ocean Reef Rentals. Highly recommend The Grits Carlton!

    This has been an amazing week! We would highly recommend this property for its spaciousness, cleanliness, beachliness, and outstanding location in relation to everything you might want to enjoy on a beach vacation. The rooms, bathrooms and living areas are open and inviting. The pool is not so much, BUT it at least gives opportunity for a cool dip during the hot, Florida afternoons. We would definitely consider booking this property again and recommend it.

    This property was perfect size for 2 families traveling together on a beach vacation. The close walk to the private beach in a secure location worked great for our pre-teen children to go back and forth to house. Overall would highly recommend this place and would come back again!

    House is located less then 2 min walk to private beach. Did not have to drag a bunch of food or drinks to beach bc of how close it was. The house is much bigger than in the photos. Beautiful home. Pool is bit small, the size compares for a hot tub as not much room for more than 3 to 4 people. Overall very satisfied with the property.

    The property is beautiful and perfect for our two families. Being just steps to the beach was perfect for the kids Extremely close to dining and shopping for the adults. We will be back!
