    This property is as described in the listing. The location is amazing and so close to many things. The private beach access and chair service was wonderful. You can walk down to the beach with minimal things. The pool is small as described but was perfect for my small grandchildren to play in when the beach was too much. The home was clean and very comfortable. The only thing I would like to let people know is the stairs are steep. We stayed here with 7 adults and 4 small children and had plenty of room to relax. The other thing I would let people know is that the washing machine will only hold small loads (4 towels max) or it will not balance and spin out. I would definitely recommend this location to others and I would stay here again.

    This property exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, the check in process was very smooth and the communication was immediate. We traveled with 15 and it was perfect to accommodate such a large group. Also a perfect location with grocery, shopping and beach all within just a mile or 2. We would recommend to anybody traveling with a larger group.

    The house was perfect for what we needed it for. The ocean was a perfect walk through the neighborhood away. Everything was very easy to get to from this location. Would stay again!

    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!
