The Space:
Morning light filters through expansive windows as the Gulf breeze drifts in, carrying the quiet rhythm of waves just beyond the street. Soft Gulf light fills the rooms as sea air drifts through open balconies, setting an easy rhythm for days spent between sand and neighborhood streets.
The space
Set just steps from the sand in the Grayton Beach community of Santa Rosa Beach, this newly constructed home is designed for large gatherings with room to spread out and reconnect. The layout spans three levels with open living areas that flow naturally outdoors. White oak hardwood floors, imported tile, and custom finishes appear throughout, reflecting the thoughtful craftsmanship of the build.
Living, kitchen, and gathering spaces
Shared spaces anchor the home and encourage time together. A game room with a pool table opens to a comfortable living area with a wet bar and direct access to the backyard. Upstairs, the kitchen and main living area create a central hub for meals and downtime. The chef’s kitchen features GE Monogram appliances, ample refrigeration, and space to cook for groups, with dining and seating areas nearby and balconies extending the living space outside.
Sleeping arrangements
The home sleeps up to 26 guests across eight private bedroom suites, each with its own bath for added comfort and privacy. Bedrooms are distributed across all floors, balancing quiet retreats with easy access to shared spaces. King bedrooms are complemented by two bunk bedrooms designed to accommodate larger groups without crowding.
Outdoor living
Outdoor spaces are woven into every level of the home. Multiple balconies and a rooftop deck offer elevated places to enjoy coastal air and sunset views. The backyard centers around a private pool and hot tub, with outdoor seating, a fire pit, and grilling space for relaxed evenings. Pool heat is seasonal and available by request for an additional fee.

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the prime location, spacious house, and fantastic pool. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay!
Our bridal party stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was perfect! So much space, luxurious amenities, and so clean! Bradley was attentive and easy to reach. Would highly recommend!
Professionally decorated and well appointed. Nice pool and hot tub with outdoor area for grilling and watching tv. Love the elevator. Short walk to red bar and beach. Just lovely!
This property was the Perfect location. It is within close walking distance to the beach and several restaurants and shops. We had several families in the house with no appliance issues, plenty of towels and cooked in and grilled several nights. The pool area is great for gathering and feels very secluded. The rental company was wonderful to work with! Definitely will be back to the area!!

Glad you loved the home and look forward to hosting ya'll again soon!
I rented this property for my sister in law’s bachelorette trip and I cannot say enough great things about this place! Plenty of room. The host was SO helpful & communicated very quickly! It is a few shorts steps away from Red Bar & the beach! We were able to walk home from AJ’s one night as well. Location was amazing & the house was so clean! We loved our nights in the hot tub.

What a beautiful home accommodations for my 3 children and their families. Our 8 grandchildren enjoyed the pool and close location to the beach. Slept well in their own rooms with the bunk beds. So comfy. Adults enjoyed having their own space and hang out areas for an afternoon cocktail. Grayt place to vaca! Thank you for an amazing time to spend with family.

Thank you, Corrine! We're glad the home was a great fit for your family and that everyone enjoyed the pool and proximity to the beach. It sounds like you made some wonderful memories together. We appreciate your kind words!
This house couldn't have been any nicer! Everything was super clean and there was plenty of space for all of our guests! Another huge plus was having a bathroom for every bedroom. That made it easy for everyone to get ready and have some privacy. The pool and hot tub was a super bonus as well! We have stayed in several places in 30A and this is the nicest one yet! Definitely recommend this place and we look forward to staying here again next year!
The house and location were perfect for our large group of ladies. Having the elevator was essential for transporting luggage and groceries to the top floors! The hot tub was wonderful in the evenings as well as the fire place. We so enjoyed the lovely pool area! Just a note to add for your next guests…additional kitchen towels and hot pads would be nice.
We all agreed that this has been the nicest house that we’ve stayed at while at Grayton and would love to revisit in the future.
Location, property and cleanliness were all amazing. Can’t explain enough how perfect the location is. The house was huge, more than enough space. Able to walk to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and the beach. 10/10 would recommend. The only thing that was not perfect was the door handle leading to the pool was broke when we got there. Still usable, but not ideal. Other than that, it was the perfect getaway!

Sadly, we are headed home. We had a wonderful week at IsleBeBack in
Grayton Beach. 850 Vacations (Ellen) was extremely gracious and very accommodating. Our family of 20 will hold very fond memories of our week here. Although this home has aged and has some interesting angles, it was extremely comfortable. We hate see her go!!

The property was great, it was clean and well kept. The beach was beautiful and the owner was nice. Only issue I had was it was listed with 2 rooms with multiple beds but there was only one with multiple beds.
Location, ease of access to the beach/restaurants. Amazing. We greatly enjoyed this spot. Will come back again.

The property is a little outdated. The pool was dirty but the host quickly responded to fix it. The owner of the property responded to clean the pool and mentioned the property is scheduled to be renovated soon.
First trip to Grayton Beach and it was wonderful. Hurricane Ida tried to put a damper on us for a couple of days but couldn’t damper our stay. The house, while dates and scheduled for tear down at the end of the year, worked perfectly for us. The biggest perk was that our pups could join us. The location is excellent and the pool was a great respite after the beach. The management was so very easy to work with and we will definitely use 850 Vacation Rentals again.
We had stayed here seven years ago and had a fantastic time. Seven years later, time had taken a bit of a toll. We had a few minor issues with the house, nothing serious. The management was very responsive. I understand some things have been let go as the house is being torn down. We got a bit of a preview of the new property going in and are very excited. The location is hard to beat. We hope our next visit will surpass event the first. For a larger group or family it makes for a wonderful week.

Vacation 2021
The location was great and the pool was great for the kids.
There were a couple of things that happened that just does at a house but then there were quite a few things that were frustrating when you are renting a house that is for 26 people and we had 21 and 9 were kids.
Even though it is an old house some things could have been a lot better.
We were told that plans are to demo house and build new house eventually but while still renting this one a lot could be done to make better.
But we did have a great vacation and loved the location.
With a large family, this was a great house for us. Easy access to the beach for all....with children from new born to 14 yrs. old, it was a breeze. The pool was so fun, after a day at the beech! The 4 th of July parade came right past our house & really fun for the kids, Candy, beads & lots of patriotic hoopla. Great restaurants within steps of the house.,
We had a wonderful, multi family, stay. We loved Grayton Beach and the easy access to the beach! It was perfect for us! The property is as represented. It is furnished well but is just a little outdated. Not a big deal and worth it for the location! The rental company/pool guy was very friendly and on top of communication, which we appreciated, even though we didn’t need anything!
