Hi, Sandy...Thanks so much for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and took in the stunning views Dune Watch has to offer...Grayt 30A Vacations
We love staying in Grayton Beach and this house was perfect. Appointed beautifully and right near the beach path which is great on a hot day lugging all your things. Communication was stellar through the whole process too. Our favorite part was sunsets on the deck…no need to rush anywhere to catch it!

We had a great time and really enjoyed the access to the state park beach. Very quiet and not crowded. The property was very nice, also on a quiet, tucked away street.

My husband and I, our adult son and his girlfriend enjoyed our trip to Grayton very much. The house was nice and a fairly short walk to the beach. The screen porch was great!

Thank you so much, Molly, for your review on Dune Watch! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay - the view from the house is fantastic, overlooking the State Park toward the beach...makes for the perfect sunset spot! The beach access for Dune Watch is the State Park beach...one of the very few places left to enjoy a beautiful, undeveloped and uncrowded beach day! We hope you return to visit us again...Grayt 30A Vacations
Thanks so much for your review, Dan! We appreciate your repeat visit and hope you enjoyed all the updates the owner has made to the home since your last stay. 'Til next time...Grayt 30A Vacations
Nice home, recently remodeled, overlooking the dunes. We actually stayed here 5 years ago as well.Had kids and grandkids for a week of fun family beach time. Beautiful sunsets from the deck with a short walk to the beach. Have been coming to Grayton for over 30 years, have stayed a variety of places in town. Still love it!

Thanks so much for your review, Brian! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Dune Watch, and hope you enjoyed the expansion and renovation of the home - it turned out beautifully, we thought! We do hope you'll return to visit with us again...Grayt 30A Vacations
We had A-blast at this location. It was a beautiful place to stay overlooking the dunes of grayton state park very close to the beach access and quiet street made for a relaxing and memorable vacation at the beach close to all the amenities at grayton beach such as the red bar. Dot dot dot
What a great location next to the dunes and just a short walk to the beach... Dune Watch is super comfortable, clean and the screen porch is a great place to hang out... the dune and ocean views are better than expected. The kitchen (appliances/cooking gear) is below average but we made it work...

Hi, Scott...Thanks so much for your review. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Dune Watch and that you loved the location and beautiful views of the home as much as we do! We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen items and will pass along your suggestions to the owner. We do hope you'll visit us again in the future...Grayt 30A Vacations
We loved staying at this property. The location was perfect. Very close to the beach, so easy with kids. The property was overall very clean. There was definitely some wear and tear that could use some attention. The living room rug was quite stained. I feel like they shouldn’t have a rug there at all do to the sand/dirt that is tracked in. We would stay here again. We rented a Golfcart for the week to visit the other surrounding areas, like Seaside.

Hi, Laura...Thank you so much for your wonderful review on Dune Watch! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and location/views - we truly believe that is the absolute best view of the beach of anywhere along 30A! Thank you for the suggestion on removing the living room rug - that is very good input that we have asked the owner to please consider. We are glad to hear you would stay again - we do hope to see you! Grayt 30A Vacations
The view is phenomenal and why I chose Dune Watch. Bring binoculars in case there’s wildlife moving through the dunes. The furniture is wonderful for lounging in front of the huge tv and the master bed is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in which was a delightful surprise. Having a gear credit was a fun perk. There’s a Little Free Library at the beach entrance in case you forget your book, and plenty of games and puzzles in the tv console cabinet. The Wanderlust jigsaw is mine and I had a delightful time putting it together on the kitchen counter one morning with a mug of coffee and watching the sunrise over the dunes. Treasured memory.
