Rupa was so easy to work with and very communicative. A complete delight to work with. Beautiful home with all the things you need to enjoy your home away from home. Excellent location and perfect for a family getaway. We hope to visit again soon! My kiddos are ready to move in full time!
House was new, spacious, and well decorated. Nicely away from any noise or traffic. Very easy walk to free beach shuttle if you’re lugging gear, but. It bad walk and simple bike ride to the beach. Also very close to nice retail area with good restaurants, shops, and a good gym if you’re so inclined. Beyond that, easy access to Watercolor, Seaside, and Blue Mountain for more options, and about 1 hr drive to Destin airport (no need to take toll route, doesn’t save a ton of time). Only word to the wise is that the parking is tight, and not for novice drivers. We had a Chevy Equinox as a rental, and depending on how neighbors park, you might be doing some Austin Powers maneuvering. Property manager Rupa was proactive in communicating throughout.

Thanks for the fantastic review! We are so happy to hear that Doin' Grayt lived up to its name and that you enjoyed the new, spacious feel of the home.
It sounds like you truly mastered the 30A lifestyle—hitting the gym, biking to the beach, and exploring the best of Seaside and Blue Mountain. Happy to host you again.
My family and I really enjoyed our week in Grayton and the property. It is next to the community pool and just a short walk or bike ride to the trolley to get to the beach. The house was spotless and communication was excellent. We would definitely stay again!
Rupa was very amazing to work with and responses were extremely fast which we appreciated. The house was beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. We would highly recommend this house!
The house was great with plenty of amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to prep and cook dinners.
We had a great time.
Our stay here was wonderful. The house was clean and well stocked. We have stayed in many places and this was by far the best home we have been in. The beach was further than we had hoped so the shuttle certainly helped. Thank you for helping to make our trip so great!

Hi Tracy-it was my pleasure to host you and hope you return. I agree-the best thing is that shuttle-makes is super easy to get to the beach and avoid the hunt for parking! Enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward to having ya'll back!
House is absolutely beautiful! Excellent location and an amazing pool which is very close to the house. Free trolley was fantastic for going to beach and restaurants. Owner/manager excellent with communication.
Don’t hesitate to book this rental. Can’t wait to go back next year!
This property is well stocked with towels, paper products, hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap and even spices. Great location. 5 minute bike ride from several goods restaurants. 10 minutes bike ride to the beach. Only downside was the parking for the property is very tight and the bikes weren’t in great condition, but the property manager sent some handle bar grips to address a couple of the rusty handlebars. All in all, would highly recommend.

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the well-stocked property and our awesome location, with those quick bike rides to restaurants and the beach.
We appreciate you highlighting the parking, and you're absolutely right—it can be a bit tight, but it's great that it still accommodates three cars! The best part is, as you discovered, once you're here, you hardly need to drive. With golf carts, bikes, walking and the shuttle as such convenient options, getting around is a breeze.
We loved having you and hope to welcome you back again soon!
This property was wonderful, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need and it’s all high- end. The bedrooms and bathrooms had very nice furnishings as well, short walk to coffee shops, restaurants….etc the tram was was super convenient, nice quiet pool. The only thing I would recommend is adding a mop or swifter, the floors get a little grimy after a few days. But overall Amazing property and I can’t wait to stay again.
Stunning and well-maintained home. We have been coming to Watercolor/Grayton Beach for years, and this was the best as far having everything needed, from kitchen items to beach chairs, etc. Perfect set-up for the bedrooms/baths, and the brand-new PlayStation was nice, as well. Short walk and even shorter drive to the beach shuttle - which runs so frequently - we rarely waited more than a few minutes for one - if we waited at all. It ran well into the evening - so it was great to take to Red Bar/Chiringo's/AJ's, etc. Will definitely be back!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Would rather have stayed somewhere else
When arriving we were excited to see a nice neighborhood. You do have to cross a main and busy road and down about 7 mins from the property to the tram, so compared to Santa Rosa last year, we would prefer to stay there. Also, the couch had weird stains on it so it was unusable the whole trip and that was inconvenient. The bunk bed rooms furniture had big chips in the wood which was unsafe for kids so we had to line it with pillows. They had a piece of broken furniture that was poorly glued back on and resulted in my nephew getting a small wound on his head when trying to open it for his game. The decks and windows and walls had visible dirt and residue on them. We also had a lot of issues with the lock pad not working and us not being able to get into the house. Luckily we usually had someone home so they could let us in. There is also not a lock on the door from the inside, so keep that in mind if you have little ones. The house itself would have Been wonderful if up kept properly because there was definitely enough space for our family with 5 kids. I would say for the price and location overall, we stayed right across from the beach in a big property with nice amenities and a 1 min walk to beach in Santa Rosa on 30a for a little cheaper and that overall was a better experience. I would not book here again personally for price, location, And cleanliness.
