**Good:** Great location, comfortable mattresses, plenty of plates and glassware, and easy beach access. The house also stayed cool once we turned the temperature down from 80.**Okay:** It’s been 8-9 years since the renovation, and the house is starting to show some wear, including chipped paint in places. Grayton has also gotten much busier over the last decade. That’s not the house’s fault, but it sits next to one of the primary beach access points, so expect crowds during peak periods. We were there over Labor Day, and while it wasn’t WaterColor busy, the beach was still several rows deep by late afternoon.**Needs attention:** Housekeeping and maintenance could be better. There was visible mold around the kitchen ceiling vents, significant dust on the hallway HVAC intake, and the master shower needed a deeper cleaning. Most bathrooms had no hand soap on arrival, although housekeeping brought some the next day. The only dish sponge was used, there were no hot pads, and the top oven had not been fully cleaned.**Biggest improvement:** Blackout curtains in bedrooms The master gets direct morning sun, and the existing slat shades do little to block the early light.Overall, we had a good stay. Just understand that the premium here is primarily for the location and beach access. If that’s what you value, you’ll likely be happy. If you’re expecting the level of finish, amenities, and maintenance that normally comes with a premium nightly rate, you may be disappointed.
