About this property

Cute as a "Bugs Ear" in Grayton Beach - Wifi 2-King Bed 2-Bath

Come stay with us and you will find out why Squeeze Me In, in historic Grayton Beach, is cute as a "bugs ear." This cottage was originally designed for the daughter of a Grayton builder. Squeeze Me In has been recently renovated (including the refinishing of its original hardwood pine floors) while keeping the character and charm of this adorable little bungalow.

Tucked back on DeFuniak Street just three short blocks from the beach and the village of Grayton, this cottage is a perfect choice for couples or a small family who want to "get away" from the hustle and bustle. Enjoy listening to the birds on your private porch swing, watching the stars at night, or relaxing in the cooling breezes from the Gulf. Park your car and walk to local restaurants such as the landmark Red Bar, well-known for its signature crab cakes and family-friendly atmosphere, unique shops, and markets. One stay and you will be saying "Please Squeeze Me In."

The property is tucked back a short alley off the main road which is perfect for privacy yet close (within walking distance) to the beach. The house is cute and clean. Communication with the owners and the property managers was super great.

This was so close to the beach and the pictures do not do justice.

It was tucked back off of the road which was an added bonus and it was a 15 minute walk to so many shops! We will definitely stay here again!

You can’t ask for a better spot. I vacationed to Grayton with my family as a child and love bringing my own. The home is in such a great spot. We especially loved the screened in porch.
