Good
We had a great time. We enjoyed the rustic charm and location. It met all our needs as a family of 4 and dog.
The only hiccup was the clogged master sink. It was like that before we got there.
Thanks!
The location was great and wonderful to allow dogs. The new kitchen and two refrigerators was a plus. The property is old and needs repair and new furniture. We called maintenance on three doors that wouldn’t shut and broken chairs. They came out quickly to address the problems.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the location, pet-friendly policy, and the updated kitchen with extra refrigerator.

Thank you again for staying with us.
Best Regards,

The location of this house is great. It’s not a new or immaculately maintained property but it was clean, had appropriate amenities and had a fenced in yard for our dogs. I recommend this property for families, dog owners and those that want access to 30A with a little more seclusion and access to nature.

The perfect location with the worst house
We have been coming to 30a for 15 years, several times a year. We owned a home here for a Period of time. We are not complainers and have never left a bad review but I have to honestly say that this was the worst. The house location is great but that's where it ends. It's old and not maintained well at all. The furniture is old and the Master bed is uncomfortable and creeks at the slightest movement. It's also very nasty. While I was dressing one morning a roach ran across my foot and when I got a bowl from under the cabinet to put popcorn in it had mouse droppings. I truly feel that this property should be torn down. I wouldn't even walk on the floors without shoes and we never used dishes or glasses without washing in the dishwasher first. We had a wonderful vacation because of the location but this is a definite scratch off to never stay here again.
Also, I forgot to mention the deck and outdoor furniture being kind of dangerous and furniture should go in the garbage. I'm really shocked if we're the only ones who have complained. The deck from a safety standpoint point this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Cole bin was great for our family. The location was perfect. Close to beach and restaurants. Kids played pool the entire trip. Check in easy and property management took care of any issues. Will stay again.

Great stay at Cole Bin!
This was our second time to stay here. House has everything you need and you can't beat the location. We brought our dog and when we checked in, the backyard grass really needed to be cut. We asked about it and they had some one out to cut the grass the next morning. Little things can make a big difference in your week of vacation. Can't wait to be back!
Very close to everything and convenient with lots of room.

Loved the location. House was simple but perfectly fine for our family
Always have a special place in my heart for Grayton Beach, and the location of this property was spot on. Easy walk to the beach and Hotz Ave! The fenced yard was a plus for the pups that wanted to chill in the sun!

Our third stay and again great service and attention by house manager. Will
Absolutely book again with paradise and hopefully another stay at Cole bin
This place was the BEST location. We came with toddlers and dogs. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Other reviews are pretty accurate on the house, but it was perfect for our family.

Labor Day at Cole Bin
A perfect beach cottage with tons of room and amenities. Beds were comfortable, great kitchen, awesome water pressure. The place stay cooled off in the heat! Within minutes to the beach, two fabulous bar and restaurants! Can't wait to come back
Terrific location in downtown Grayton, short walk to one of the best beaches in America. Old time Grayton casual beach house. Generous supply of paper goods and trash bags provided. Property management was highly responsive.

5 stars for location to the beach, Red Bar, retail, and walking/bike riding trails. There’s no need to get in your car once you arrive. The house was perfect for 2 families and kids. The yard was perfect for our furry baby.

We have stayed at Cole Bin several times. There has been a deep clean to the property that has made a world of a difference. Also, the new furniture has been a fabulous update. P30a properties is always a pleasure to work with. Cannot wait to come back and stay again.

Fantastically close to beach, restaurants, bars and everything Grayton Beach has to offer!
This is an older game that has definitely been loved. If you are looking for high end this is not it. If you are looking for a roomy home with room to spread out, and a pool table, 5 minutes from beach, Red Bar and other eats/drinks, look no further!

Moldy smell
As with our previous stay, we enjoyed the location of the house and the pool table. However, the house has an overwhelming mold smell and the master bedroom bed is old and makes a lot of noise. Also, we would have liked to had a broom so that we could sweep up. We have fun when we stay here, but I think this will be our last time. The previous time we stayed there was a rat, so I think we're done. Honestly, you guys should offer us a huge discount on a future stay at another house for not making a bigger deal out of the rat and mold.
