There is private beach access from the house that places you directly on the sugar white beaches. There is also a heated pool /spa with jets that overlooks the gulf. As you exit US 98 onto Scenic 30A, you know immediately that you are in a special place with over 40% of the area protected from future developments with dune lakes, charming communities, white sands and emerald waters.

The house was beautiful and inviting with large gathering spaces and plenty of bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows and blankets. We used the kitchen often, which was well stocked with appliances and all we needed for cooking and food storage. I especially liked the covered porches to sit outside and enjoy the view, while the kids all liked the pool, hot tub and beach access best. Gritz Carlton was the perfect home away from home for our Christmas vacation.

Wonderfully appointed kitchen, very comfortable living rooms, extremely comfortable bedrooms.The porches were great and we watched entire pods of dolphins! The property was quiet even though it was on the main road.The pool was the perfect size and there were not too many stairs to the beach. There was an alarm system at the doors to the pool for child safety.
