The owner Sam was awesome, unit close to beach but unit could use a little more cleaning and fix up..the door has a big gap so bugs could come in easily
Had a ‘grayt’ time. Owner and mgt team were a breeze to deal with. Property was clean and as advertised. A few things there so didn’t have to run to store right away. 3 min walk to the beach, less for drinks and food in town. Couldn’t ask for more on a relax and unwind vaca. Will definitely be back.
1min walk to most beautiful beach we have ever seen!

Great property with active and responsive property management. Parking is incredible and you are walking on the public access to the beach, right out of your front door! Cool dining/shopping right there and quick access by car to other 30A locations. My family and I are already planning our next stay at this same location!
Can't beat the location. Communication with property manager was above and beyond anything I've experienced!

We had a great time staying at Sam’s place. The location is perfect! Convenient to the restaurants close by and you can walk right out to the beach. The rugs could be updated but other than that it was very comfortable. We are looking forward to booking again hopefully sooner than later. Thanks for a great stay!

Our growing family needed extra quarters this year for our annual getaway, and this property was perfect for four of our young adults. The location across from Chiringo's was super fun and the view of the ocean was breathtaking.

Great place and awesome location. Bring beach towels and a cooler. The boardwalk past the red bar is an easier way to the beach especially for those tired swimming legs!
Needs a new toaster and could use some hooks to help families keep organized but great place!

Great location. Attentive host. We enjoyed our stay in the center of Grayton Beach with a view of the gulf. Beach is terrific and there is so much within an easy walk.
Others have commented about upgrades to the unit that would be desirable. I do agree with them.

I recently stayed here for a week with my family and our stay couldn't have been better. the location is absolutely perfect. A very short walk to the beach as well as Chiringos and Red Bar made this the ideal spot. the place was well furnished, clean, and had everything we needed. the management staff was super responsive via text and really saught to make sure we had a good stay. It must be said that the walls to the neighbor duplex are a little thin and you can hear people walking next door. this wasn't a problem for us and we had very kind and gracious neighbors while we were there. Similarly, you'll get some noise from the bars at night, especially if there is music playing. For us, this wasn't a problem, but for someone who doesn't like loud music or is a light sleeper it could be. All in all, a great stay and we hope to come back!
