Lucky Dog borders the Grayton Beach State Park, named America’s #1 Beach in 2020 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach! “This beach boasts of its sugar-white sand and emerald green water where development has been restrained so big sand dunes still dominate the landscape. At the same time, all the amenities of great restaurants and accommodations are close by in the old town of Grayton Beach or Seaside," wrote Leatherman. Originally named the country’s top beach in 1994, Grayton Beach State Park has been listed FOUR times since 1991, finishing 6th in 2016 and 3rd in 2019.

House was perfect! Even better than the pictures. Neighborhood was quiet; lots of beautiful scenery and nature. Can’t beat the private pool and large screened in porch with plenty of seating!

Great home ((not just a house to rent). Bedrooms perfect for all. Kids loved the bunk room and the pool! Had a slight issue and management jumped on it
Voted by the family as one to go back too!!

Hi, Brooks...Thanks so much for your 5-star review for our Lucky Dog! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation with us and we would love the chance to host your stay again in the future....Grayt 30A Vacations
Very well maintained home! The rental was clean and plenty of space for my family (2 adults, 3 kids 4-8) and friends (2 adults, 2 kids 8-11). I would say the walk to the beach was at least 5 minutes, maybe a little longer. The private beach was not crowded at all. There is a great outdoor shower at the house to rinse off after the beach and then jump in the pool! The pool was so nice to have - great size for all the adults and kids to play in. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Hi, Heather...Thanks for your kind review on Lucky Dog! It is indeed a wonderful house that is located - in our opinion - the absolute best Gulf front neighborhood along Scenic 30A!
We hope you enjoyed the beautiful beaches in the neighboring Grayton Beach State Park - we're so proud it was named the #1 Beach in America by Dr. Beach (Steven Leatherman) - again!
We hope you'll come back and stay with us again!
