We had a great experience with this rental. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The beach setup service was great to have with umbrellas and chairs. Kitchen was stocked and made cooking very easy. Loved the big porch and all of the furniture. Just a short walk to shore. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. Will be back.

Great House, Great Location!
We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again! The neighborhood was peaceful and the beach was never crowded which made for a relaxing vacation. If we wanted to go to the restaurants in Grayton Beach it was an easy walk along the beach. Although most nights we cooked our dinner and the kitchen was well stocked and great for that! We also loved the layout of the house. We have a daughter in a wheelchair so it was really nice to have some bedrooms on the main living floor. Thank you for sharing your home!

Another great stay
This was our second Thanksgiving at this beautiful home and it may be our favorite house of the dozen or so we've stayed in over the past 25 years. There are many spots - inside and outside - to enjoy the most gorgeous beach, the sunrise and the sunset. The kitchen was well-equipped for many of us to prepare and share a Thanksgiving meal. There are many comfortable common areas to be together but lots of space for privacy too.
We had a couple of questions for the homeowner during the week and she was easy to reach and very accomodating.
We'd highly recommend this house for a family or group getaway and would gladly go back again.

We have been traveling to 30A area for over 25 years, and this was one of the best locations we've ever stayed. We loved how the house is nestled between the dunes of the state park areas. Simply beautiful! The large porch area easily accommodated our large group of 12, and the views were amazing. We also loved all being able to fit at the large dining table. The owner was great to work with and was quick to respond to any questions. The beach service was wonderful, and the beach was not overly crowded. We truly enjoyed our time at Seas the Day, and would love to visit again in the future.

We have been seized by Seas the Day
For decades, our group of 13 women have enjoyed Grayton Beach and, especially, Seas the Day, for our annual get-together. The house has many areas, inside and out, that permit our entire group to enjoy each other's company in sun and in shade, as well as a dining area that permits all of us to sit at the same table. The spacious kitchen allows 3+ chefs to work together and the "drinks specialist" to prepare and pour libations. Lastly, somehow Seas the Day provided vivid blue skies and gulf breezes for the entire week, with rain showers occurring only after dark. We are looking forward to our return in 2025!

Family Weekend
Property was perfect for 5 adult couples and 1 toddler. Beach access couldn’t have been better. Found the house to have great sound proofing as with so many people you should have heard more noise. Kitchen well equipped with pots, pans, glasses, silverware etc. Stove top a little odd in that 2 burners on one side of an extremely large sink and 2 on other side. That was a little inconvenient. Owner quick to respond and answers all questions. All in all we would come back to same house. Thank you.

Spring break
We had multiple families for spring break with kids ranging in age from 15 - 18 years old. The kitchen is well accommodated and the view is breathtaking! Living on the ocean for a week was incredible. They had beach chair service everyday. Grayton Beach is a fantastic little town which was gratefully less crowded then Seaside. I would go back again!
