Grayt week in Grayton

This is our second stay at Castle of Dreams. It has been great both times. We love the location and the house is nicely equipped with everything we need. I love the screened in front porch and appreciate that our Boston terriers are able to join us. We hope to return again next year.

Castle of Dreams perfect family vacation rental

The home was perfect for our family. The living and kitchen area are open so great for spreading out our group of 8. Its a short walk to the beach. There's a lot of walking/hiking nearby.

Really cute little house steps from Red Bar and a short walk through the dunes to the beach

Great place, loved the front porch and only a few blocks from Grayson beach restaurants and steps from a beautiful clean beach. Only complaint is some of the beds weren’t very comfortable but overall very nice experience

Another beautiful trip!

Second year in a row that we have stayed at your lovely home. First, mattress was markedly improved from last year -- thank you for either replacing it or repairing it. Noticed up you made some subtle updates -- cute light fixture over dining table, nice and cute patio dining set on your screened-in porch. Nice adds. Had lunch to go from the red bar a couple of times that we enjoyed on that porch. Noticed the screen was replaced which repaired some minor tears that were there last year -- assuring a bug free porch. So peaceful to sit out there and nap, read, smell the coastal air and just get away from it all. We love staying at your home and took care of it as if it were our own. Thank you again for allowing our well-behaved, four-legged child. Made it a perfect vacation.

Mother daughter trip

Property is old and that’s ok. The problem was the toilet needed plunging when we walked in. The management service should have seen that. The beds and pillows are awful. I think I tried to sleep on every one. Even the bunk beds. They could do so much with the property if they would upgrade all mattresses and every pillow in the place.

Little gem

Cute cottage with spacious living/dining/kitchen area and master bedroom/closet. Other 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are down back hallway away from living areas for increased privacy. Large laundry room with old, but working washer/dryer. Large screened in front porch with fan. Only downside is the small master bath, but it is functional. 1 block from beach/public beach access. No main roads to cross to get to beach.

Castle of Dreams for 2 weks

We had a nice experience with this property. It was clean and as described online. Great location. There were some little issues like the toaster that would only work if you held down the button. The outside chairs/table were awful - we wanted to sit outside in the back yard, but it needs a good cleanup. A suggestion would be to put in a level patio or deck area with some decent furniture. The front porch was wonderful and we spent a good deal of time there. The table and chairs would have been our preferred location to sit, but the chairs do not fit under the table and food & drinks would be bounced off when we tried to move chairs. The adirondak chairs were kind of uncomfortable. Some nice cozy furniture would have been much appreciated. Overall we enjoyed calling Castle of Dreams our home for a couple weeks. Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of being there!

Relaxing vacation until the rain

Great location. Cute house! Very relaxing!We rented a golf cart so no issues with walking to the beach. Only a short walk to the beach if you have to walk. Loved the front porch, grill out back and open living room/kitchen, large laundry room, nice pantry, comfy beds and lots of board games to play. The only concerns we had that might prevent us from renting this awesome property again are the plumbing and roaches. We followed all the rules on the plumbing on what not to do and still when we used the washing machine the toilets gurgled. Our last night at the house it rained and huge roaches came out of the walls. They got in our luggage, bags and crawled all over us in the beds. Not a fan of attempting to sleep with roaches crawling on my face. Up until the roaches arrival we were dreading leaving to go home. Hopefully this is a quick fix because this really is an awesome vacation get away.

Great location

Great cottage on quiet street, short walk to beautiful Grayton Beach. The cottage was well equipped with the exception of only having one key to use among 3 of us. Great porch to relax on and plenty of amenities within walking/biking distance.
