Great location! Perfect spot for our crew.

Over all excellent location, and space was great. Owner showed up at 10, and surprised we weren’t gone when check out is at 11, and seemed annoyed we hadn’t left yet. We had previously communicated we would be leaving at 11am.

Spotless! Classic old school beach town vibe!

This bungalow in the heart of Grayton was perfect for walking to the beach and restaurants. The home was absolutely spotless and the old world southern beach town charm was perfect for a relaxing weekend. I took several pics to use when we build our retirement house. We had a minor issue that was addressed asap. Great host who responded quickly. We will definitely stay here again!!

Great vacation house!

This house is so beautiful. Although it is old you can really tell that the owners have great taste. Everything has been updated and is quality. It is pretty close to the beach and a few restaurants. It is a small house but gorgeous. The beds were so comfortable and I loved the kitchen. I would recommend this house to the pickiest renters.

Just Perfect

Great place to relax and bring in the new year! Short stroll to the beach, local restaurants and park. We were at home the minute we arrived and found the house to be clean, comfortable & cozy. Both the deck and front porch were our favorite spots to spend hours talking and simply relaxing. Sherry was great to work with and we are looking forward to returning soon!

Pefect Little Beach Cottage!

Wow...our stay at this adorable little cottage in Grayton Beach was wonderful. The location is perfect, just a few short blocks from several great little restaurants, bars (with live music nightly), shops and the white sand beaches; no need to drive anywhere once you arrive. The cottage is very well appointed with nice furnishings, comfortable beds (even the sofabed was very comfortable) and every amenity you can think of. The property owner, Sherry, was so helpful and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay. This cottage will be my first choice when returning to Grayton Beach!

A Great Place and a Great Area

Perfect For Couples - my wife and I found that to be the case. Everything we were told would be there was - and more! Sherry has this down to an art. Very attentive both before and during the stay. The house and yard are exactly what we would be looking for if we were buying in the Grayton Beach area. I could go on and on about the property - but we want to go back next year and would hate to have someone trying to get our week!

Grayton Beach

Home is very well done. Small but was very comfortable for the 5 of us in my family. Nice short walk to the beach and everything else needed. Bike access was greatly appreciated. Having Beach chairs, umbrella, wagon, etc. Most places don't have all of this to offer the guest. Couldn't of ask anymore from this one.

Weekend Wedding!

We had an awesome stay at this house. One of our friends from college was getting married in Grayton Beach and not only was this location in the heart of everywhere we had to go (walking), it's equipped with everything you need! Sherry was so easy to book with and timely in letting us know what do when we get there, how to close up, etc. I recommend this house to anyone coming for...anything. :) It was my first time to Florida so I was easy to please but even if I wasn't.. it was an enjoyable stay.

Great cottage at a great price

My family rented this house last week for a short, three night trip to Grayton Beach. The house is really charming- the details inside are like somebody's home, not like an anonymous rental. The two bedrooms are cute, and there are hide-a-beds in the front and back rooms. There is a nice back porch with a sun shade. The house is very clean and well air conditioned. It's about three blocks from "downtown" Grayton, so it's no problem to walk to the beach. The owner was very prompt and responsive both before and during the stay. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we are at Grayton if it's available.

Decent spot but wouldn't stay again

We liked the spot. The home is a cute little Bungalo. It is decorated well and they provide the necessities to make it feel more like home. That said, it could be better managed. Our issues: 1. No internet - the router was completely fried and there was no attempt to replace it before out time was out. 2. Significant mold growth in and around the A/C registers. This is something that i didn't make a big deal about because i couldn't change it, but it was bad. There were green and black blooms all over the ceilings around the A/C registers, especially in the bedroom. 3. The driveway was blocked by a debris pile from some apparent work going on. The deck was all cleared of furniture, etc. Again, i didn't make a big deal about it but for the cost of the rental it should have been addressed prior to us showing up.
