We were only there 2 nights, due to the hurricane. Only slight issue was the lack of parking for a house that sleeps 8.

Thank you for rolling with the hurricane shortened trip. That's a fair point on parking for a home this size, and we've shared it with our team to look at options and provide clearer guidance. We'd love to host the full stay you planned!

this is a super great location in a charming house. Everything was as advertised. Minor shortcomings were: needed to contact host service re: some light bulbs needing to be replaced (they came quickly to fix, but still); the location of the bikes was NOT OBVIOUS and it took the company more than 24 hours to figure out where they were stored. The person who finally came to the house to show us where to look said he comes there almost every week because every guest has trouble finding the bikes. (poor instructions).

A charming house in a great spot that delivers exactly what it promises — glad that part held up. Thanks for the honest notes as well, especially about finding the bikes; that's the kind of detail that should be clear from the start, and it's been passed along to our team so it can be sorted properly. Good to hear the other fix came quickly, at least. We appreciate you staying with us and would be glad to welcome you back.

Family Beach Vacation

This was a great house for my family of 5 to stay in.The house was just as described and the location was great. Walking distance to the beach and restaurant. My teenage kids loved riding bike inn and around the area when we weren’t at the beach. Would definitely stay again.

The house is super cute and very well laid out. The two bedrooms in the main house were extremely comfortable, both beds and bathrooms. Unfortunately the Murphy bed in the carriage house was not comfortable. The other issue was the internet was unreliable. Location is fantastic- walk to the beach and restaurants with a laid back feel, not nearly as crowded as some of the other communities along 30A.

Daughters birthday

We had my daughter and friends for 4 nights for her birthday. My husband and I stayed in the guesthouse. This property is the perfect location for the beach and restaurants. The beds are comfortable and the main house seemed well equipped. The guest house was nice too, it just needed a couple items: blow dryer, bathroom soap and a doormat to not track sand everywhere. We can’t wait to come back!

Spring break 25

Property was perfect! Had young adult son and buddies stay in coach house, daughter and boyfriend stayed in main house with wife and myself. Front porch was amazing, bed swing mornings were spent sipping coffee and getting Lab snuggles from our furry daughter. Ketchen had everything we could ever need, extra fridge and icemaker were game changers. Best vacation hoise I've ever rented. Only challange were the locals county beach ordinaces which were ridiculous.

Great cottage and guest house, perfectly equipped and well maintained but - and this is truly no fault of management - there's a huge house presently under construction next door and the noise starts early. Didn't ruin our trip but it's fair to let prospective tenants know. We hadn't stayed in Grayton for the past 20 yrs and it was bittersweet to watch such an out-of-scale building going up, but the charm of the town somehow still hangs on.

This was our 2nd spring break at Grayton Beach and 6th vacation on 30A. We're glad we found Grayton and can't imagine staying anywhere else now. Previously we stayed across the highway and used the shuttle service to get to the beach. This time we wanted to be in the old part of Grayton and this home fit the bill! We loved being able to easily walk with our kids to the beach. The weather was cold but the water was beautiful and it was sunny. The surf was calm that week whereas on our last trip there were red flags for 2 days. Don't be surprised to see some trucks on the beach. (There are permits for homeowners and locals.) The house is lovely! We loved the big front porch, nautical decor, large kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and wonderful location. The primary bedroom and bathroom are spacious and the bed was great. The second bedroom, bathroom, and bunk bed nook were good for our girls. We used the washer and dryer every day and they worked well. The kitchen sink faucet had to be replaced one day and the handyman who works for AvantStay was friendly and courteous. A large home has been under construction next door and I imagine the homeowners on the block will be relieved when it's finished. I'd seen this info in a previous review and was mentally prepared for it. It seems like they're almost finished. We loved visiting The Shard Shop (make a reservation), Saladita Taqueria, Crackings (make a reservation), Papa Surf, AJ's, and The Big Chill.

This property lived up to the promises! My family of four had a lovely, four night stay, for an 18th birthday getaway. We maximized our use of the house, but didn't have need of the carriage house. It was nice to know we had more space than we needed! The site's descriptions and other reviews are accurate for what you get on the property. The house has a few quirks to figure out, but they weren't enough to take away the joy of the location. A next door neighbor was also kind, offering to take a picture of our family when I was trying to selfie us. Overall, positive energy in the location.It's an honest five minute or less walk to a gorgeous beach with soft sand and crystal clear water. There is a some local food (definitely check out Grace Pizza and Shakes!), but also anything you want is within a 15 minute drive. Another review mentions loud construction next door, but that's complete. The neighborhood was peaceful for our whole stay. Bonus mentions: There's an ice maker, two refrigerators, a toaster, a blender, and traditional coffee pot, along with other kitchen staples. Parking is nice, right in front of the house. Communication with the host was fast whenever I had a question. This is a solid recommend!

This house was perfect for our stay with friends! It is steps from the beach and a couple of cute restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped, and we had a great time cooking, playing games, and hanging out. The Carriage House was also a huge bonus and a great space for the kids to hang out.
