Amazing Location, House Needs Upkeep

This house was in the PERFECT location for a stay in Grayton Beach. The deck was great and the size of the house was perfect for 5 adults and two kids. However, the outdoor shower didn't work and there was no hose or working water spicket on the exterior of the house to rinse sand off before entering. The upstairs shower curtain and liner were covered in mold, the bathmat was unwashed (visible dried toothpaste everywhere), and there were lots of high touch areas (door handles and frames, etc) that were obviously dirty. We tried multiple times to contact VRBO to address these issues and were told they were contacting the onsite management, but nothing was ever addressed. The kitchen was very clean and had most of what we needed, but no Tupperware or storage containers, so bring those if you plan on having leftovers at all. Everything was very dated which didn't bother us a bit - that shows in the pictures when booking, and we were on the beach most of the day anyway! But there was a good bit of peeling paint on doors, doorframes, baseboards. Between that and the age of the house I would be aware with very young kids in case of lead paint.

Good large family visit

This is a good location with lots of living room space and a huge kitchen. Its so nice to be able to see the beach from the deck. They clearly just replaced the carpet in the stairs, the mold/mildew smell was only in the garage, which is easy to ignore. A few things worth noting: The steps getting into the property are steep and a little uneven. We had my dad who is not great with stairs and it was nerve-wracking, making sure he didn't fall. There is NOT a shower before getting into the house, unless you call a half hose by the stairs a shower. The dryer did not work at all, so don't plan on doing laundry. The kitchen has absolutely nothing food related. No salt/pepper, oils , or anything useful. They are very stingy with the dishwasher tabs, laundry tabs (which didn't matter because the dryer was broken) and towels. On the towels - there are no hooks in the house.

Relax

We were very happy with the location of the property. The house was very accommodating, large rooms, great outdoor space. Plenty of room to all be at the table to eat or play games. However I would like to say a few things need attention. The ceramic flooring throughout the main floor are cracked and broken. The stairs going out the front were separating from the decking. The kitchen could use a set of pans that the Teflon doesn't get in your food. We did have a good time just relaxing and spending time with family and friends!

Amazing location

The property was in the absolute best location. There was some construction going on in the neighborhood right in front of the house, not a huge issue. There are some issues that could be addressed. One of the shower curtains was molded and black on the liner, there are some broken boards on the decking (all the kids got at least 2 or more splinters while there) this decking seriously needs to be replaced, the interior looks like my great grandma’s house and could be updated and not add more pink. I’m personally going through a home remodel Sheetrock only costs a couple hundred dollars to fix the bathrooms, toilets run $99+ And it’s a simple fix to update. I think if they did slight changes the renters would pour in. We would stay again and are excited about seeing changes that may happen in the future. We loved the view from the pour here we could see dolphins as we sat drinking coffee: the water was stunning and crystal clear. The perfect first beach trip for our children. We will definitely stay again: I read previous reviews and let me say I saw no bugs, no issues what so ever, not even a spider.

Nice Stay

The location is amazing. Being in Gulf Trace neighborhood is about as good as it can get. The beach is Semi Private as it is only usable by the neighborhood. The property itself is badly in need of updating. I didn't deduct much as the photos provided are a mostly accurate representation of the property. With that said, the price for the area can't be beat. The property management company Vacasa was easy to work with.

House condition

The steps up to the house were coming apart and very unsafe. There was lots of outside wood that had rotted and needs to be replaced. There was mold on the walls in the downstairs card room and the upstairs master bedroom. Toilet paper holder in the master bath was missing the roll holder. Toaster didn't work. Everything needed to be painted. Overall the house is really in bad shape. It's only saving grace is an incredible view from the front porch and it's closeness to the beach. We were a party of 3 women all in our mid to late 70s, and we could not handle the steps very well at all.

Beautiful beach week

Location was excellent. This property is half mile west of Grayton Beach and in between two state park properties so the beach was not crowded - our visit was in late September. House sits across a residential street from the beach with beach accesses less than 100 yds. There is not public parking for beach access in this subdivision thus less crowding. House is sunny, comfortable, great balcony, somewhat older than other houses in subdivision but no problem. Kitchen, living room, dining room were great. Our group was three adult couples and space was more than ample. Another bedroom was available with two single beds. Beyond that guests would need to use fold out couches. No hassles with booking, check in or check out. We hope to stay here again.

Gulf view

Beautiful view of the gulf. the property needs some maintenance. There were/are deck boards coming up several inches that create a trip hazard. We actually brought a hammer from my sisters house and made the needed repair to avoid the possibility of someone tripping over the board. The guardrails are basically falling off. Its only a matter of time before someone is leaning on them and it breaks off. It appears multiple (semi) attempts were made to secure the handrail prior. The inside of the house is nice but could use some touch up paint and carpet cleaning/re streaching....but overall we had a good time....cant complain too much as the rental cost for the house is great.
