About this property

Vintage Charm Meets Coastal Bliss: Experience Historic & Artistic Grayton Beach!

Step back in time when you visit the historic charm of this one story home in Grayton Beach and recall the days of fun in the sun and beach blanket bingo. As you cross the threshold, you will be transported back to simpler days when relaxing was something you did with a book and shiplap was good ole wood paneling. This laid back 3 bedroom 2 bath home is all about cozy comfort and understated beauty. Everyday life cares will seem a distant memory as you immerse yourself in this idyllic home.

This laid back three bedroom two bath home is all about cozy comfort and understated beauty. The large living area extends to your left and invites you to sit back and enjoy the serene calm of the seaside lifestyle. The wrap around family room boasts retro wooden accents and oversized furniture that beckons you to sink in and relax. It is the perfect setting for curling up with a great novel, spending a little quality time with a board game or a great puzzle, or enjoying the modern comforts of a flat-panel Smart TV. Moving into the home from the entryway brings you into a private sitting room featuring a decorative fireplace and plush furnishings that seemingly beckon you to sit back and enjoy a classic mint julep. As you relax, you can almost hear Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes singing the class “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” and you get the sense that if you look around the corner, you’ll catch a glimpse of Baby and Johnny Castle giggling as they share an ice cream sundae in the kitchen. Or perhaps it is just the classic film “Dirty Dancing” playing on the flat screen television tucked away on the wall.

The living space of this wonderfully classic home offers plenty of room for the entire family to do their own thing without losing that sense of togetherness that will forget the foundation of vacation memories you will cherish for a lifetime! The home also features modern conveniences of high speed Internet and cable television service.

Your kids (and perhaps you as well) will be gone in sixty seconds when they learn that’s how long it will take them to get to the sandy white shores of the world’s most beautiful beaches! Just steps away is picturesque Grayton Beach offering ample room for you and your family to setup your beach chairs or blankets and work on the perfect tan or splash around in the beautiful waters. One of the unique facets of Grayton Beach is it is one of the few locations in Walton County where some of the locals have permits to drive on specific areas of the beach. At the end of the day, it’s not uncommon to see a few jeeps backed up onto the sand facing the ocean with folks enjoying some of the most beautiful sunsets you will see anywhere. But fear not, only a small number of permits are allocated to residents via an annual lottery so you won’t see many vehicles out there. It’s just one of the many features of the area that contribute to the classic surf town vibe you cannot help but get caught up in when you visit.

At the end of the day, when you are ready to relax and recharge your batteries for the adventures you’ll have tomorrow, you will not be disappointed! The first bedroom is located in the front right of the home and perfect for the kids — a quaint bedroom that hosts two twin beds surrounded by white washed walls and picture-perfect windows. Nestled in the center of the home is the perfect hideaway for day time sleepers or someone who just needs a few extra Z’s to push back memories of the 9 to 5 workday of life back home. The room features a queen bed and a flat panel Smart Television where you can tune into Beach TV to find out about all the local hot spots. At the rear of the house, is the master suite outfitted with a bed that is fit for a king, a flat screen Smart TV and a small ensuite bathroom. NOTE: This home has parking at the front for three sedans side by side or two SUVs side by side. No additional parking spots are available.

After a fun filled day frolicking on the beach, you can prepare a wondrous family feast because while the home reminds you of simpler times, the newly remodeled kitchen is outfitted with state of the art stainless steel appliances and everything you need to whip up the perfect family meal! And fear not, if your dream beach vacation does NOT involve cooking, the home is situated in the heart of Grayton Beach so you are surrounded by fantastic restaurants. You are steps away from Chiringo which features spanish-style dishes served in a colorful, rustic-chic setting with outdoor seating & gulf views. Across the street from Chiringo is the renowned Red Bar which is expected to re-open summer 2020. For breakfast foodies, the HIbiscus Cafe is a seven minute walk up Defuniak Street. Walk another eight minutes and you’ll be able to enjoy Crackings or the Bad Ass Coffee Company! Enjoy a fantastic lunch or dinner at the Grayton Brewpub or AJ’s Grayton Beach. If you are in search of the perfect seafood dinner served up with a surfer vibe then walk on over to Grayton Seafood - a fishing shack-themed eatery. If that isn’t enough, you are a half mile from the Mystic Porte shopping center where you’ll find charming local shopping as well as a few more eateries such as Roux 30A, Hurricane Oyster Bar & Grill, Chanticleer Eatery, the Black Bear Bread Company and the Grayton Corner Cafe.

Beautifully Quaint Property
We loved our stay at this property! The charm of the 100 year old home... but with functional space and fixtures - made this stay extremely welcoming. The walks to the beach and restaurants (outdoor turf/play area) were less than 2 minutes. I would absolutely recommend this beach house!

Great Time in Grayton!
We had a fantastic stay in Grayton Beach and we recommend this rental. The house is in a great location - walkable to beach, restaurants, and bike trail. The 2 bikes provided were in great shape and riding bikes is a must. The management staff were exceptional and extremely responsive. We had 4 adults and had plenty of room and enjoyed the multiple sitting rooms. In addition, the 4 chairs outside were perfect for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. Enjoy Grayton and this lovely home.

Little Piece of Heaven!!
This home was the perfect place for my much needed escape. Wonderfully close to all Grayton Beach has to offer! And surrounding areas as well. Loved the quietness of the Off-Season. Will definitely be back with Family and Friends in the Summer!

Nice beach house
The house is bigger than it looks. Comfy and clean. Very short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The bikes were a nice bonus. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
