Great location and setup for multiple families!

This house was perfect for our large group. The bunk room with its own sitting area was so nice for the kids. All beds were comfortable, and the location can’t be beat! The house could use a good deep cleaning, and some of the rugs were stained, but we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect house for a group of friends...

We were four couples on our annual trek to Grayton Beach and this place could not have fit us better, with room to spare - we could have fit another couple abs 8 kids! Just steps from the Red Bar and the beach. We’ll be back.

Great location

The house has an amazing location and a ton of space. We loved how each bedroom has its own bathroom. The house seemed to be missing the bare necessities that beach properties normally have (paper towel, extra toilet paper, salt, pepper, olive oil, etc...). So be sure to bring those necessities or plan to purchase everything.

Amazing location. Very responsive staff. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well appointed for a big dinners and lots of cooking including thanksgiving dinner which we had at the property with large family gathering. Could have used beach towels and chairs, more higher end cleaning products for hygiene, laundry, dishwasher, etc.

The perfect place for a big family reunion!

Had a family reunion with 15 adults. We loved the huge kitchen and big bedrooms each with their own bathroom! Having a private swimming pool certainly provided extra entertainment especially when we had room for our cornhole boards. The walk to the beach was easy even for the oldest in our group which were 82 and 81! Being able to walk to shops and restaurants and the younger adults having a place to gather worked out perfectly! Loved the amenities like the golf cart, bicycles, and little goodies left for us to enjoy. Thanks for a great time and we look forward to returning next year!

Very well maintained and nice furnishings. Topically clean, but could use a deeper clean. Pool extremely nice, but would have helped to have had leaves blown away when pool was cleaned, so they would be tracked back into the pool. Overall, very nice experience.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a fantastic house for our group of 5 families for our annual beach vacation. We've come to Grayton for four years now, and this was by far the best place we've stayed. There was ample room, including a place for the kids to hang out, and it was only a block to the beach. When there was a slight problem with the refrigerator, Cole responded right away, and sent a repairman out on a Sunday night to take care of it. We couldn't imagine a better place to stay and plan to return!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an awesome family gathering at Shades of Summer. Despite having lots of rain, we still had a wonderful time. Convenient to good restaurants and happy hours that are also kid-friendly. Loved being just steps away from the beach and the lake. The pool and the bunk room were big hits with the kids. Each family having their own bedroom and bathroom was a real plus. I would definitely recommend this house for families with children. Also loved being in the less-crowded, Grayton Beach area. We plan to come back again.
