Grayton Beach is a laid-back, organic beach town with old-style wooden beach bungalows and narrow neighborhood streets lined with live oaks. You'll also get a “hippie kitsch” feel, having the iconic Red Bar a stroll away. Take the neighborhood boardwalk to the beach or hop on the bikes and head 2.4 miles to explore Seaside. This cool little beach town is also home to the diverse coastal ecosystems of Western Lake and Grayton Beach State Park and is a gateway to a large expanse of sugar-white beach that is a haven for fishermen, boaters, and beachcombers alike.
AREA ATTRACTIONS:
30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar-white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach accesses along a 17-mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine, and incredible architecture that make 30A famous. Grayton Beach not only provides you with stunning views, but it also provides you with activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here!
Enjoy this Funky, Free-spirited town where you will find quaint historic cottages next to modern beach homes. You’ll enjoy the many shopping and dining options, such as ‘Another Broken Egg’. This is much more than a cool beach town; this location is the best of both worlds. Enjoy a quiet, relaxing getaway while still having a lot of action-packed activities at your fingertips.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Beautiful home! Very spacious. Very well equipped kitchen. The only thing I would add is a matress topper and curtains/ that could be closed in the master bedroom.

Debbie, thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your rating. In your opinion, what could we have done better to earn a five star rating? We wish we could have had the house decorated for you’re House of Blues family Christmas, but we were away most of December and just couldn’t get down there. We hope we can host you and your family again soon. Best Regards, Michael

Wonderful stay!
Well maintained home, beautiful neighborhood and pristine beach. GREAT location for families with school-age kids and teens. We loved our stay and hope to return. Our two families (party of 9) were completely comfortable and happy.

Thank you so much and we are glad you enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime.
Excellent location, quiet and family friendly. The accomadations were great and located toward the front entrance nearer to the beach. The private beach was essential and not crowded. The owner very friendly and helpful.
Family was in town for a family function and the house was great. Room for everyone and a great location. Walk to the beach through the woods on the boardwalk was very enjoyable
We had a great time hear. The house was clean, everything worked, easy walk to the beach. First time in Grayton Beach and we definitely prefer it over Seacrest.
Location was ideal, close to everything, but in a quiet, gated community with a very nice pool and minutes from the beach.
The house layout was perfect with the large porch and bedrooms especially the one with two bunk beds and trundle bed.
Looking forward to future visits.
Enjoyed our stay in this well appointed home. Close to the beach, clean and comfortable. Michael was very responsive to my questions - even on Thanksgiving day. I hope to return.

Everything you could want and more!
We LOVED our stay and this is one of our best VBRO experiences. Everything was great and the beds were comfy and high quality. Excellent location and quiet neighborhood. We'd love to return some day. Go to Stinkys!
While we had a few hiccups during our stay, management was able to get all of our problems fixed extremely fast. This house was absolutely perfect for our needs.

Thank you for your review. We invariably have maintenance issues from time to time. Our goal is to fix them with our team of maintenance folks and cleaners immediately so there is little or no continued inconvenience. We really appreciate your patience and understanding. We welcome you and your wonderful family back anytime. Enjoy your 4th holiday.
We loved the house and the area. Beach is a little walk but beautiful. Neighborhood is well kept and quiet. Nice restaurants close by. Michael was great to communicate with.
