Perfect family vaca spot!
We had a great time. The communication was excellent with Wayne and Sherri. The house was perfect. We have a 1yo, 3yo, and 6 yo and they loved the fairy trail and all the toys in the kids bunk room. The pool was awesome even though it wasn’t heated - we still used it almost as much as the beach! Easter was crowded everywhere else but not here which we loved. The walk to the beach was short and easy for kids. The layout was perfect for us. We would love to return. Thinking of next year already!!!

Great relaxing vacation surrounded by nature
We just got back from staying at this beach house and we had a great time. My wife and I went with our two daughters and one of their friends. The neighborhood is surrounded by a state park so it is nice and quiet and there is plenty of nature to enjoy. We saw deer, a sea turtle, stingrays, sand fleas, fish, osprey, sandpipers… We got to enjoy a peaceful, natural environment and then ride bikes to restaurants and stores. It is only a short walk to the beach from behind the house and they provide a cart to help you get your things down to the shore. The girls loved playing on the beach and in the pool. The house has great views of the white dunes, Alligator Lake, and the ocean. The house is full of decorative elements which were great for playing “decoration scavenger hunt” with the kids when it was raining. We loved the house and the location. Very relaxing.

Beautiful House and Amazing Location
We couldn’t be happier with our stay in Grayton at Wayne and Sherri’s home. They were awesome to work with and made the booking process very easy. As others have said, you can truly just show up and start your vacation. They have thought of everything from beach gear to all the items you would need in a kitchen and more. We have stayed in Miramar the past 2 years and we were wanting a quiet neighborhood, a bike path and a less crowded beach. This location did not disappoint! The Gulf Trace neighborhood is like having a private beach. My teens rode their bikes, went kayaking and spent lots of time swimming in the pool when not at the beach. We loved the vibe of the house and it was fun to look at all the creative ways they have decorated their home. We are still talking about the Master bedroom and deck that overlooks the dunes and ocean. The pictures don’t do it it justice. We loved starting and ending our day there. We also made use of the loft sleeping bench when my great niece spent one night with us. She loved the toys that they had as well. Such a great use of space especially if you have a younger child you wanted to have close by. It was special to celebrate the 4th of July in Grayton. They had a fun parade in the morning and watching the fireworks from the beach was awesome! Lots of wonderful memories made and the house and location felt magical with the oak grove path, the dunes, the views and amazing sunsets. We hope to be back. It will be hard to find anything for future vacations to top this house and location. Many thanks, Dave and Carmen

Wonderful family beach week
We have been coming to this area 30+ years and Gulf Trace neighborhood is hands down our favorite. Lamer ByThe Sea is an exceptional beach home. Beautiful setting, well planned with everything you could possibly need. We left today and are already planning another trip.

Grayton Beqch Getaway Home
The owner was so great to work with and quick to respond to any questions we had. The house was beautifully decorated and the views of the dune lakes from master bedroom deck and ocean view from screen porch were amazing. The owner had the house well stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need and the house felt so homey that it was truly hard to leave. This house is by far my place we have ever stayed and the best location ever. We are looking forward to another stay at this beautiful home. Julie

Book it! You will love it!
We spent an amazing week at LaMer over Thanksgiving! It was my husband and myself, my parents, and our two daughters ages 10 and 11. We have been visiting 30A for years, and we normally stay in Seagrove. We have biked through Gulf Trace and admired at how private and peaceful the neighborhood is. We loved being able to walk to the beach! We rented a golf cart and used it to drive to the food trucks and shops at Seaside, the restaurants near Grayton Beach, and even down to the Donut Hut. The home is beautifully decorated and has EVERYTHING you need for a comfortable vacation that feels like you're truly at home. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen incredibly well stocked, and the decor is just beautiful. We loved the screened porch! The views of the sunrise and sunset from the master bedroom cannot be beat! We are already planning our return trip.

Terrific home in a great location - perfect for reunions!
Absolutely loved staying here! We had a reunion and the house was perfect with all of the right amenities! Beach access was great and much less crowded than the ones in Seaside (just as beautiful!). Looking forward to renting this property on an annual basis! Thank you to Sherri and Wayne for being very responsive and welcoming hosts!

We were on a girls trip for a week. The house is everything we needed. The careened porch was our favorite spot. Thank goodness for such a comfortable sofa...that’s where I slept for 4 nights after dislocating my shoulder.
