About this property

Cute as a "Bugs Ear" in Grayton Beach - Wifi 2-King Bed 2-Bath

Come stay with us and you will find out why Squeeze Me In, in historic Grayton Beach, is cute as a "bugs ear." This cottage was originally designed for the daughter of a Grayton builder. Squeeze Me In has been recently renovated (including the refinishing of its original hardwood pine floors) while keeping the character and charm of this adorable little bungalow.

Tucked back on DeFuniak Street just three short blocks from the beach and the village of Grayton, this cottage is a perfect choice for couples or a small family who want to "get away" from the hustle and bustle. Enjoy listening to the birds on your private porch swing, watching the stars at night, or relaxing in the cooling breezes from the Gulf. Park your car and walk to local restaurants such as the landmark Red Bar, well-known for its signature crab cakes and family-friendly atmosphere, unique shops, and markets. One stay and you will be saying "Please Squeeze Me In."

Great House and Great Location

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at this property, and everything was as expected. A clean and cute house with a very short walk to the beach made for a relaxing trip to Grayton Beach. There was a lack of information on our check-in process and I was reaching out the day of our trip to get final information, but it was resolved quickly and we were able to enjoy our trip. Overall this is a great place for a great value in Grayton Beach!

Bug’s Ear Rental Happiness

This very cute well furnished rental was just ideal for our family of four. Location is most convenient and our rented golf cart made for touring fun for Grayton as well as nearby 30-A resorts! Merci to Constance/Taylor for assistance while there!!!! Dr. PLC of Alexandria, LA.

Great trip, Great house!

We bring our kids to Grayton every summer & I was excited to find this adorable house. It was very comfortable for our family. I was happy with the kitchen setup & everyone slept great in the beds. The screened in porch was really nice for keeping the sand outside and storing our beach gear. Thank you.

The property is tucked back a short alley off the main road which is perfect for privacy yet close (within walking distance) to the beach. The house is cute and clean. Communication with the owners and the property managers was super great.
