My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. The house is super clean, tons of towels, beds were comfy, outdoor shower was awesome and the pool was great!! The location of the house is really the best.

Grayt place to stay!

This is the perfect location in the Grayton beach area! I was here with my 5 year old son and my dog. The close proximity to the beach and restaurants made my stay here way less stressful. My dog was so happy to have a yard to play ball in and so was her mom. I felt very comfortable leaving the door open while I did things around the home as my son and dog played in the yard.

Beautiful week at the beach!

GRAYT Fun has an awesome location for beach goers and folks who like a busy environment. Perfect for our pup with the fenced in yard. Top needs for improvements: new toaster, fix microwave above stove, new bunk beds that are sturdy, outdoor lighting for table at pool, remove some furniture to make space bigger. We had a ton of fun and enjoyed our week!

Thanks for your feedback! The microwave over the stove was replaced with a brand new microwave. We wish you would have told us it wasn't working while you were here so we could have replaced that for you. New sturdy custom bunk beds were just built and the old bunks thrown out. It is now 4 bunks instead of 2 as it used to be. All other items are being upgraded and addressed in the 2017 winter upgrade cycle. Thanks for taking time to write a review!

My favorite property in Grayton

I’ve been coming to this area of Florida with my family every year since I was born. This is by far my favorite house I’ve ever stayed in! Not only is it the perfect walking distance to the beach and everything in Grayton, the pool in the back is a *chefs kiss*. I booked this property for February so it was a little chilly out and had the pool heated for the duration of my stay. If I had any questions at all, the property manager was quick to reply. The house was clean and so beautiful - it looked exactly like the pictures. The only thing is the lights around the pool can be a little bright at night so make sure you pull down the shades in the room. I will absolutely be booking this place again!

Grayt Fun was GREAT FUN!

The property is excellent in every way. The listing describes the property accurately. We visited in October, our favorite time to visit the beach. Our first stay in Grayton. Love the vibe. Property is next door to Chirongo Bar, best food experience in Grayton by far, in our opinion. The swimming pool was a really nice addition for us…we paid for the heated pool amenity and glad we did. Property management was very responsive to us when we had a minor issue. Great communication. Will be back to Grayton for sure!!

Great location for family of all ages

Excellent location in the heart of Grayton! Surprisingly quiet and private, though it is next door to a restaurant and on the busiest corner in the area. Can park, check in and never drive again until it’s time to go home! One level home worked well for my elderly parents, pool was great though the door alarm to the pool (which is a state requirement) spooked my dog, so we went out the front door and around to the pool in the back so as not to set off the alarm. Well-stocked kitchen - could have cooked more if there weren’t amazing restaurants 2 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great experience!

Great stay, wish we had better communication

This stay was overall great. We were disappointed however at the poor communication regarding the pool heat. This property advertises a heated pool, but it was not communicated to us until well after arriving that the pool could not be heated unless we stayed for a full week. This is after a private message with the property before our arrival saying that the pool could be heated we only needed to message. Since that was a big reason we selected this property it’s very disappointing. Another note is that the windows/curtains in the living room are transparent at night. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Otherwise this location is great and the property was as described.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that overall, your stay was enjoyable, but we sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused by the miscommunication regarding the pool heat and the issue with transparency of the windows/curtains in the living room. We understand how important it is to have accurate information about amenities such as a heated pool, and we regret any confusion that may have arisen. Please allow us to clarify that pool heat is indeed available for all stays, not just for those lasting a full week. However, to ensure that the pool is heated properly for your arrival, we recommend reaching out to us a day or two before your scheduled arrival date, and we'll make sure everything is set up to your satisfaction. Regarding the transparency of the windows/curtains in the living room, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will certainly look into this matter and take any necessary steps to address it to enhance the privacy and comfort of our guests. Your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps us identify areas where we can improve and ensure that future guests have an even better experience. We hope that despite these issues, you were able to enjoy your time at our property and create lasting memories. We're here to ensure that your future stays meet and exceed your expectations. Thank you once again for choosing our property, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Warm regards, Benchmark Management

Great girls weekend getaway!

This was the perfect place to host a getaway with friends! We wanted a beach location to celebrate a bachelorette party and this was the best house! Plenty of room for everyone and you can't beat the location and pool amenities. Everyone had a great time and commented on how perfect the house was. The smallest things to note that could improve: one bathroom didn't have a lock on the door and the other bathroom lock didn't work. The shower looks to have been recently updated and anytime anyone took a shower, the water seeped out between the glass door and onto the floor causing a mess. Also, the communication with the host/rental property agents was poor. I texted the "text line" that was in the check-in instructions with no reply. I then received a different number to text the next day and the communication was very delayed. Overall, an amazing trip and would 10/10 stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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: First time staying here and visiting Grayton. We will be back! The house is great for small groups and had everything we needed. Loved Chiringos next door and had no problem with noise from the patrons, even with a live band on Friday night. The truck emptying the dumpster at 4:00 AM Saturday was the only time we were disturbed. Liked that we were provided cones and rope to block our parking spaces when we left the house as I am sure we would have come back to no place to park. The owners provided plenty of beach gear and bicycles. Lots of seating by the pool with a huge umbrella for shade. Lights along the fence come on at night and provide a nice atmosphere. A very short walk to the beach and a tram stops just steps away to take you to a small shopping area with restaurants and stores. Highly recommend this rental.

Girl’s Annual Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are six retired educators and enjoy taking an annual trip each spring. We love the Grayton Beach area and especially love to stay in this home. It is very clean and the floor plan works for our group. It has its private pool which is very nice & relaxing. This is the second time we have stayed here. It is in walking distance to the shops & restaurants. Everyone at Benchmark is very nice and accommodating. We have only one complaint and that is with the internet and TV. We had to call Benchmark to come out to help us sign on to the internet and to get the TV to work. Evidently the home owner changed providers it is very slow. We didn’t have any problems like this last year. But, we still love this place and would recommend it to others but I hope the owners rethink their internet provider.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for sharing your experience at our property. We're thrilled to hear that you and your group of retired educators enjoy visiting Grayton Beach and that our home has become a favorite destination for your annual spring trips. We greatly appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness of the property, its floor plan, and the private pool, as well as your positive comments about our team's service. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're delighted to know that you continue to enjoy your stays with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the internet and TV during your recent visit. Upon receiving your feedback, we promptly investigated the issue and found that there were no issues with the internet provider. It seems that a simple solution, such as unplugging the router and restarting the TV, resolved the connectivity issues. Nevertheless, we understand the frustration this may have caused and apologize for any inconvenience. Please know that we are committed to ensuring that all aspects of your stay meet and exceed your expectations, including the functionality of amenities such as internet and TV services. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable trip to Grayton Beach. Warm regards, Benchmark Management
