Original cottage style home in Grayton Beach. The 'Cole Bin' has been in our family since 1936, and has been our home away from home ever since. It belonged to my grandmother-Sallie Cole-from Opp, AL. It is a very comfortable, homey cottage with the original pine flooring.
This home can be rented as a 2 bedroom/2 bath home during the fall, winter or spring months. Rentals during the summer months are 3 bedroom/2 bath. The beach access is only 100 yards away, with another 50 yards to the Gulf of Mexico. 'Cole Bin' is a short stroll to the famous Red Bar, and other great restaurants and shops.

The full kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need! Provided are 2 refrigerators, ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, stovetop oven, toaster, and coffee maker. Kitchen also includes plenty of dishware, flatware, cups, mugs, pots & pans, and pyrex dishes.

There are two living areas with plenty of seating with TV/DVD's in each for the family who wants to enjoy two different TV shows at the same time. TV's are also located in each bedroom.

The bedrooms are bright and decorated for comfort. The house is very spacious and spread out providing lots of privacy. The master bedroom features a king sized bed with plenty of drawer space to unpack, a hanging closet, and an attached bathroom with tub/shower combination. The front bedroom features a queen bed and a twin bed, with plenty of drawer space, and a bathroom close by with a stand-up shower.. Also attached to this room is a good size closet and a walk through vanity with lots of mirror space and a seated vanity. The side bedroom has two full beds, and a twin bed, lots of drawer space and an attached closet. This bedroom shares the bathroom with the front bedroom by walking through the large vanity area.

The pool table is a wonderful amenity for all guests, as it provides fun for all ages. The deck off the back provides the opportunity to visit and cook-out with the provided charcoal grill E Enjoy the wonderful weather and the gulf breezes. You can definitely hear the waves!

'Cole Bin' is also dog friendly with a fenced yard so even your four-legged friends can come on vacation! Fence wraps around entire lot, providing room for the dogs to roam from the front to the backyard.

Will rent the cottage as a 2 bedroom during fall, winter and spring months only. (3rd bedroom locked.) Summer rents for 3 bedroom only.

We hope your stay at 'Cole Bin' is as comfortable and relaxing as it has been for our family for the past 70+ years.

                    Wonderful place for a family reunion. This place is so convenient and has everything needed for a home away from home. We loved our week here. Loved the place! It felt like a home away from home. It had everything we needed. Thanks for sharing the Cole Bin! Woo hoo- So much fun with the family. Red bar is one of my favorites! Paddle boarding, the storm, pool playing! Great memories here at the Cole Bin! Amazing time. Thanks again.

                    Our family returned to Grayton Beach for a week of fun in the sun. We love the cottage style and decor and the pool table was a blast. Many hours on the beach left us tan and relaxed! The 3 days of rain were a challenge but we changed up our plans and had a blast! Thanks for a great stay at The Cole Bin!

                    Cole Bin has ben the perfect vacation getaway. We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday and could not have asked for a better location! We loved looking at all of your photography. Lots of history & fun stories, I'm sure. Our family was able to make special memories of our own. With such an easy access to the beach, Red Bar, and fun shops we got the perfect Grayton Beach experience. Thank you!

                    Cole Bin was even better than the photos depicted. We had a family reunion, all nine of us and the lay out of the house was such that we could have privacy as well as family time. The back bed room was wonderful in that it could be closed off from the rest of the house and let us retire earlier without noise from the front roomers playng pool. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, even a colander and cutting boards. We could not have asked for more pleasant accomodations or nicer landlords to deal with. Beach access is a breeze.

                    Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

                    The "Cole Bin" is truly one of the Old Grayton cottages. It is just a short stroll to the Red Bar and very close to the beach. The fenced yard was great for "Gus" our dog. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved seeing all the old photos of fun times at Grayton Beach.

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 1936

                  About the owner: The Cole Bin was my grandmother's cottage at the 'coast.' My brother and I grew up running around Grayton Beach every summer of our life. Now I am lucky enough to live here and love it! My children also were lucky enough to grow up in Grayton Beach. They spent lots of time exploring the dunes and trails, tubing on Western lake, surfing in the gulf and looking for shooting stars.

                  Why the Owner Chose Grayton Beach:
                  The Cole Bin has been in my family since my mother was a little girl. It's in a great spot in Grayton, close to the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  It's an older cottage with lots of charm and Grayton funkiness. Enjoy the pool table and 2 separate living areas so the boys can watch football. 'Cole Bin' is just a short walk to the Red Bar Restaurant, fun and funky place with live music and great crabcakes. Bike paths are nearby and connect you to Watercolor and Seaside just a couple of miles away. Rent kayaks or YOLO boards and enjoy paddling along Western Lake.
