About this property
Grayton Magnolia - Grayton Beach, Heated Private Pool, Walk to Beach + Red Bar!
Grayton Magnolia -
Get ready for a great vacation in Grayton Beach! Tucked in the historic village center of Grayton Beach on 30A, Grayton Magnolia is a lovely, two-level vacation home that radiates coastal relaxation and southern charm. This home is perfect for your South Walton vacation with a screened-in front porch, private swimming pool, and updated accommodations. Three bedrooms and gracious living space provide room for 12 beach-loving guests.
Upon arrival, you are greeted with live oaks and tropical plants adorning a paver drive that leads to the cutest front porch. The porch is furnished with white chairs and a cushioned swing. From here, glass doors open into a warm and sunny great room. Honey-toned floors, large windows, white furnishings, and coastal accents create a laidback setting. The cozy seating ensemble is comprised of a tan couch, matching armchairs, and a chic wooden bench. The setup surrounds a hardwood drink table and faces a large TV. A painting of Western Lake is mounted above the fireplace mantle, and shelves of beach décor add to the paradise vibe. The open kitchen overlooks the living room. It includes white cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island bar with seating for five. Nearby, a cozy dining area features a Persian rug, a handsome dining table, and eight straw-woven chairs seated beside three large windows. A bonus breakfast nook has a round hardwood table with four slipcovered chairs, and a wet bar provides extra space for crafting delicious drinks.
The great room shares the first level with the primary bedroom, a family-style suite with a regal king-size bed resting beneath a lovely sailboat painting. Other features include rustic beach-style furnishings, a flatscreen TV, and an ensuite sunroom with two twin beds. This room has a private luxury bath with a glass-walled shower, double vanity sinks, and a handsome soaking tub. The remaining two bedrooms are upstairs. One of these bedrooms includes a king-size bed, white armchair, multiple windows, and a TV. It also has its own twin bunk nook. The other bedroom has two queen-size beds and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower.
One property amenity that guests love is the private courtyard and swimming pool. This relaxing oasis is perfect for spending quality time with your fellow vacationers while enjoying the picture-perfect weather of the coast. The patio features a picnic table, umbrella, and lounge chairs by the pool. A grill is provided for cooking up fun poolside meals. The pool is great for a refreshing dip and can be heated in the cooler months.
Another great aspect of this vacation property is its location. The sugar-white sands and blue-green waves of the Gulf Coast are less than a five-minute walk from the home. It is also close to popular shops and restaurants in Grayton Beach village center, such as the Red Bar, Chiringo’s, the Zoo Gallery, and Tribe Kelley Surf Post. Grayton Beach State Park—known for its pristine beach shore, Western Lake, and nature trails—is also nearby. While here, you should also check out the surrounding 30A beach towns, such as Seaside, Blue Mountain Beach, and Alys Beach, for local shopping, dining, and seasonal festivals and entertainment.

Everything was as pictured. Pool was excellent and we paid to have it heated and we are glad we did. Comfortable and lots of room to spread out.

Awesome place. Was perfect for two families with kids. The heated pool was perfect size. Easy walk two blocks to the beach access, or you can walk or take the trolley to Chiringo/Red Bar. Will rent it again for sure.

We had the best time! The home was equipped with plenty for our stay as far as kitchen utensils, linens, etc. Great location not far from the beach at all. We loved it!

Grayton Magnolia was our favorite property from years of renting in the Grayton/Santa Rosa areas. The home had ample space, plenty of beds and bathrooms and was very comfortable. The private pool was a favorite of the kids and the location in Grayton can’t be beat.

We had a great stay at Grayton Magnolia! The house was super cute and clean and the pool was a plus. A little bit of a walk to the beach, but not bad. Nice walk to the Red Bar for supper each evening. All in all a great place and would recommend to anyone.

We came to Grayton for a week at the beach and could not have been happier to walk into such a beautiful and well appointed home. It was immaculate and so comfortable. We loved the screened in porch and pool. Also, the beds were magnificent.
Thank you for making our vacation perfect!

Great location, quiet area, easy walk to the beach with a nice wagon to use . Pool in the backyard was a great addition to have. Would be nice to have bikes at the house for use but we rented them from 30A bike rental.

Great! Let us know when you would like to return. Thank you for your review and choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
We loved the house and location. It was easy to walk to town and the beach, but also great to have a pool to relax in. We rented bikes. It was so easy to bike down to the beach. Our teens and college kids had plenty of places to hang out at the house. The management company is quick to respond to questions.

It was very clean and had pretty much everything we needed. It was a little bit of a walk to the beach, especially in the hot sun but manageable. The house did have a little metal cart we used to put our belongings in which made getting everything to the beach much easier. The pool was a big plus but the door alarm was kind of annoying. My only complaint was that I wish there was a way to turn on the ceiling fan in the master bedroom without turning on the lights. Overall 10 out of 10, would stay again.
