The Grand Hotel - Part II

Next to the Grand Hotel is a long line of beautiful homes. Most of them had piers/boat houses. A few had gorgeous ones. Some of the homes were absolutely stunning. HUGE, like 8,000 square feet. Although I didn't take any pictures of the houses I did take two of the neatest piers/boat houses. Here are a couple shots of the fantastic pool. There was a walk in area for the little ones with water shooting up. A waterfall, neat hot tub, and a big slide.This is by the entrance of the main club house where you checked in.There was an enormous spider that we had to walk by every time we went to the main club house.On Sunday Jason and I walked around a bit so I could take some pictures of the grounds. Here on the corner of the property we found a pavilion where they must have bands play.They have swings all over looking out at the water.You can't see it very well but they had a ping pong table and horse shoe pits.There were also hammocks all over the property.They provide kayaks for free. And they also have sailboats that you could ride on for free although someone that works there drives the boat.We saw a lot of people riding around on bikes. The property is huge. They are all free as well.They even had a huge yacht you could take out for free. Okay, not really. This is just some rich persons yacht that was docked near by.Here are some more random shots of the property.Hey look...I'm in a picture!!!
See if you can see the Blue Crab in this picture. Another picture of the huge yacht. There were ducks that live on the property.Here is the covered walkway that we would take from our building to the main club house.Here is our porch. They had rocking chairs on all of the porches/balconies.This is the view from our porch. They had free bait and a few rods out on that pier so you could fish. Martin, Zachary & Hutson caught some fish!Another view from our porch.Some more shots of the beautiful grounds.
What a wonderful place the Grand Hotel is. I cannot wait to take my parents some day. I also look forward to taking the kids back just for a weekend.

Great pictures! That looks like quite a place. Had me going with the free yacht ride, though. We'll look forward to the trip when we can visit this hotel. Got to be in the summer so we can use the pool.
