  We stayed at Coco's cabin for a week and a half while in town for a wedding. It was a wonderful place to stay. We loved how quiet it was and that it had a beautiful view of the lake! Each morning we had our morning coffee out on the dock. We walked everywhere and really enjoyed that we were able to bring our dog with us! She had a blast! We hope to be back next fall!

  We stayed here during the weekend of our wedding at a nearby state park. The owner was so kind to us in e-mail communications and our conversations over the phone. He had said "this was a special little place" and it turned out he was right. We love historical homes and this one has been updated quite nicely. We had immediate family over the night before and enjoyed grilling and using the outdoor porch area. The master bedroom has a comfortable bed and a view of the lake with double doors that open. There I sat on the steps looking out at the water and wrote some sentimental notes to my parents on the morning of our big day. Writers should feel right at home and the beauty of this place is inspiring. We walked to the beach the next day and had a lovely afternoon lounging (this area of the Gulf Coast really is the most beautiful green) and appreciated the outdoor shower. It almost reminded me of a mountain cabin, but at the beach instead. Grayton is still holding to its historical roots unlike the other beaches, but it's not that far away to get the groceries and even go shopping. We recommend the local eateries in Grayton that are right off 30A (and the well-known java-chain is right down the street). It was such a blessing to have this peaceful place during a busy wedding weekend and we regretted not booking more nights. Thus, this became "a special little place" to us as we spent our first night here as husband and wife (and we wrote our names on the old wall as other visitors have for so many years), and we hope to visit for our first anniversary next spring.

  If you're looking for 5 star, beach-front accommodations... with fast-paced raucous party action, continue your search. This isn't the property for you. If you're in search of a quiet, off-the-beaten path cottage, with easy access to all the other trappings, you might wanna' give 'er a try. The cottage is clean, well-maintained, comfortable, functional and relaxing. We were very comfortable and satisfied with our stay. The photos posted are pretty current as of this writing - no surprises to report. Reservations, payment, etc., went smoothly and, again, no surprises. We tacked-on an extra day at the end with no problems whatsoever... and I suppose that'll serve as a recommendation, of sorts, no? If you're not familiar with the Grayton Beach area, it's near Seaside, Watercolor, Blue Mt. Beach... and it's pretty much equidistance between Destin & Panama City (about 30-40 mins, depending on traffic). So if you're looking for quiet, with the occasional foray into the more traditional Florida night life, it's not too far away. The beach is accessible to vehicles with permits so bring your Jeep or truck but leave the sedan at the door. The cottage is pet friendly (our dachsund, Hunter, had a good time). The beach is also pet-friendly at certain hours. Be sure and check before you throw Fido in the back of the Jeep. Grayton also has "The Red Bar," along with one or two other nearby eateries, etc. Publix is 10 minutes away... so while it's neatly tucked away from the more hectic traffic and lifestyle of much of the Florida coast, it's easily accessible and near enough to provide whatever you need or want. Bottom line - Grayton is an idea destination for a more "mature" crowd - and is very family-friendly as well. Younger, more "thrill-seeking" crowd's probably better served by other venues. The property itself won't disappoint, just so long as you match your expectations to your final selection. Lauryn and I give it two thumbs-up and consider it a possible "do-over" down the road sometime!

  We spent three nights at Coco's and will definitely return! My son loved the fact that you can KAYAK TO THE BEACH from the cabin! Laid-back, relaxing property with all the amenities. Outdoor shower was a hit w/ the kids after coming back from the beach. Great for all outdoor activities=can fish off the dock, ride bikes to the Grayton Market, Red Bar and a short walk/bike ride to the beach. A jewel of a property.

  This our family's second time staying at Coco's and we feel like it is ours while we're there. We decided it's better than being beachfront because you're nestled in those little crooked trees and looking out over that beautiful lake (but you can hear the surf from the screened porch)! We hope to return to Coco's many more times! The decor is beautiful and the house is so inviting. We enjoy using the kayaks and riding the bicycles all over South Walton county.

  We had a wonderful time at the beautiful and quaint Coco's Cabin. The location is perfect for getting to the beach, Redbar, biking, shopping and relaxing! We loved having the huge yard for the children to play in and we all enjoyed the use of the kayaks and bikes. The view around the lake is spectacular! We loved having bonfires at night and enjoyed the lakeside when the beach was too windy! The cottage itself is beautiful and furnished very comfortably. The owner was easy to work with and we hope to return again soon!
