Goodnight beach, goodnight moon; goodnight Emerald Coast, we’ll see you soon! Goodnight Moon is a must-see vacation rental tucked in the heart of Grayton Beach on Scenic 30A. This cozy cottage is the main house of a larger family vacation compound called Magnolia House, which includes another guest house dubbed Bella Luna. For smaller vacation parties, these homes can be rented separately. Or, for larger groups, you can book the whole property. Goodnight Moon features three bedrooms, three baths, and can host up to seven guests.
This one-level beach cottage embodies southern coastal charm. A set of steps leads to a screened-in front porch furnished with wicker chairs and vibrant blue cushions. From here, you and your fellow guests can take advantage of the perfect South Walton weather while sipping cold drinks and enjoying casual conversation. Stepping into the house, you are greeted with a spacious open floor plan with high ceilings. Sunny windows accentuate the spaciousness. Shiplap walls, hardwood floors, and colorful accents add to the laid-back ambiance. The living room includes a pale blue wraparound couch adorned with bright accent pillows. Two white armchairs provide additional seating. The casual setup surrounds a Persian rug and drink table, facing a wall-mounted TV and rustic entertainment center. Wood floors extend seamlessly from the living room into the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen is characterized by open shelving that shows off a variety of colorful dishes and décor. It has white counters, stainless steel appliances, and a fun retro-styled refrigerator and countertop microwave. In the center, there is an island with a butcher-block top and two stools. A cute dining area is situated right next to the kitchen. The white dining table is surrounded by two chairs and a corner bench seating covered in sunshine-yellow curtains. Perfect for casual dining, from breakfast to dinner.
The primary suite features a king-size bed, blue shutter headboard, handsome furnishings, and a flatscreen TV. Its ensuite bath has a tiled walk-in shower. One of the guest bedrooms also has a king-size bed, as well as a TV and private bath. In the other guest bedroom, you will find a twin-over-full bunk, a sunny window, an accent chair, and a TV.
Great accommodations are not the only thing Goodnight Moon is good for! It also has one of the best locations, within walking distance of the sugary shores, nature trails, and the artsy village center of Grayton Beach. As far as restaurants go, you will love the Red Bar, AJ’s Seafood Bar and Grill, and Chiringo’s. If you’re looking to grab a souvenir unique to this coastal village, be sure to check out The Zoo Gallery or Tribe Kelley Surf Post. After exploring Grayton, take a drive down to the other nearby 30A beach towns for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

It’s wonderful to hear you had such a great experience. We're glad the rental met your expectations. We can’t wait to host you again on your next beach escape! Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
We really enjoyed our stay at Goodnight Moon! The house was large with very high ceilings that made it feel even bigger. All amenities were top notch and it was the perfect Grayton beach house. We would love to stay again!

We are so happy that you enjoyed your time here. Thank you for your review and for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
The cottage was so cozy and welcoming, from the tree-lined street and screened front porch to the comfortable rooms and baths to the spacious living and eating areas, this place was a true gem! Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the laid-back charm of the town.

We really appreciate your thoughtful review! It’s great to know you had a positive experience at the beach house. Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts, and we hope to host you again on your next visit to the coast!
Good location. My only gripe is that there are no beach towels or beach chairs and this place is a ten minute walk from the beach. Check in and check out were easy.

Great house! Comfortable and very clean.well stocked kitchen. Easy check in and checkout. Wish it was a shorter walk to the beach but the trams run regularly. The screened porch was used daily but could use a fan as it was still hot in mid September.

We had a fantastic trip. A couple of minor repairs are needed. These include the cold water faucet in the back bathroom which doesn’t fully turn, and the ironing board in the laundry area doesn’t open or close. Another small observation is that the porch lights touch the outdoor curtains which can pose a fire hazard. We will gladly stay again and recommend the property.
