Clean, quiet, new home
Our family booked a last minute trip to Grayton Beach. This was a perfect location, in a newer stand alone home. Great communication with the owner. The only issue we had was that the property said it was a 7-10 minute walk to the beach. However, when we got to the beach, we had to continue walking past 2 other private beach areas to squeeze in to a tiny spot near a river inlet or continue past the waterway which is difficult to do with a full cart. This would have been nice to know beforehand.

Great location and house
The house was great. Easy access to the beach and walking distance to a few restaurants and shops. It was also easy to bike from the property to other nearby areas like Watercolor and Seaside. The house was well-appointed and clean. Our property manager, Christel, was great. She was very responsive and helpful. The only issue was that most of the codes we were given for the pools and public areas were wrong. We simply asked other guests to help us out.

Wonderful Sweet Sixteen Trip
We had a wonderful vacation! The home was beautiful with plenty of space. Proximity to the beach was great. We enjoyed the walk to and from. Proximity to entertainment for teenagers was perfect. They rode bikes everywhere! We would definitely book this vacation home again.

Comfortable, quiet, close to beach
The house is spacious and very comfortable, two delightful porches, one of them screened. It’s a 7-10 min walk to beach but half of it is along a beautiful private boardwalk through trees and muscadine vines. A few more instructions would have been nice but the owner is very responsive

Family vacay
We loved this cute little house and the rental agency was fantastic. I do have a major complaint- the roof was tin and we had 3-4 nights of wind and rain and there were trees touching the roof and it made a tremendous amount of noise which kept our entire house awake most of the night. Those trees should be trimmed because the noise was so loud we couldn’t drown it out with fans or noise machines.
The other thing I wish I had known was the distance from beach. I was told 7 minute walk but it’s across the street down a very long path then once you hit beach- you have to then walk down the beach a good distance because the beach is reserved for Sanctuary at the Sea. So we had to walk past the flag poles to set up for the beach day. We finally just gave up and came home it was just way to much work just to get to the beach.
Again we loved the actual house- plenty of room all of the amenities needed but location and the roof kind of ruined our trip.
