Wonderful stay!

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!

Great property

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.

Beautiful home

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!

Amazing

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.

Grayt Stay @ Doin' Grayt

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.

About the host

Hosted by Rupa Sunder

Host profile image
MEET YOUR HOST: RUPA SUNDER
I’m Rupa Sunder, and my passion for design and hospitality is the heartbeat behind Serene Stays. As a wife and mother, I know that the best vacations happen when the adults can truly relax because the kids are happy and the environment feels like home. I founded Serene Stays to create exactly that—sanctuaries where high-end design meets the practical comforts of family life.

THE SERENE STAYS EXPERIENCE
We believe a great getaway should be more than just a place to stay; it should be where your favorite memories are framed. Because my family and I personally spend time in our homes, we don’t just manage properties—we curate the lifestyle we love to share with others.

DESIGN WITH HEART | Every room is thoughtfully styled to be as functional as it is photo-worthy. I’ve personally selected the pieces that make our spaces feel both elevated and lived-in.

FAMILY-FIRST MENTALITY | From the Xbox and the High Chair to our "must-have" starter kit, I’ve designed this experience through the lens of a parent who wants a seamless, stress-free trip.

DOG-FRIENDLY & DETAIL-ORIENTED | We know a family vacation isn't complete without our four-legged members. We welcome your pups with open arms, providing a space where the whole family—furry friends included—can relax together.

PERSONALIZED HOSPITALITY | When you book with us, you’re not dealing with a faceless corporation. You are supported by a dedicated team that cares about your vacation as much as you do.

You deserve a retreat that is as extraordinary as your vacation plans. We’ve set the stage—all that’s missing is you.

Why they chose this property

Where Coastal Luxury Meets Old Florida Charm

Choosing DOIN’ GRAYT means choosing the best of both worlds. Nestled in a serene, nature-rich community, our home offers a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by the beauty of the Gulf Coast, yet keeps you perfectly positioned near the vibrant heart of Grayton Beach.

The community itself is undeniably cute and full of character—think quiet, tree-lined streets perfect for a morning bike ride and a secure, laid-back atmosphere where kids can be kids. Whether you are sipping coffee on the porch listening to the coastal breeze or taking the nature trails to explore the nearby coastal dune lakes, this property is designed for those who want a sophisticated retreat without losing that soulful, "Old Florida" feel.

What makes this property unique

The Serene Stays Difference

What makes a stay at DOIN' GRAYT different is the effortless lifestyle we’ve curated for our guests. We bridge the gap between a high-end boutique hotel and the soulful comforts of a private family home.

NATURE AT YOUR DOORSTEP | Bordering serene trails and scenic landscapes, our home is a sanctuary for those who want to disconnect and recharge in a peaceful, secure environment.

THE "NO-STRESS" BEACH COMMUTE | We’ve solved the 30A parking puzzle. Whether you choose a scenic stroll, a 5-minute bike ride, or the FREE shuttle, getting your toes in the sand is completely effortless.

NEXT-DOOR AMENITIES | Our prime position—steps from the community pool and splash pad—means less time packing up the car and more time relaxing.

WALKABLE DINING GEMS | Leave the keys on the counter. You are a leisurely walk away from Grayton icons like The Red Bar, Borago, and Black Bear Bread Co.
