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.
