Relax on the porch bed swing after a day at the beach, or let the kids retreat to the carriage house for some quiet time.

My family and I absolutely adored this house. The beach was so close and the front porch was idyllic. Thank you for having us and we hope to stay here again, soon!
This was a great house for my family of 5 to stay in.The house was just as described and the location was great. Walking distance to the beach and restaurant. My teenage kids loved riding bike inn and around the area when we weren’t at the beach. Would definitely stay again.
We loved the house. Perfect location. It had everything that you would need. Te really enjoyed the front porch and the yard. The beds were very comfortable
The house is super cute and very well laid out. The two bedrooms in the main house were extremely comfortable, both beds and bathrooms. Unfortunately the Murphy bed in the carriage house was not comfortable. The other issue was the internet was unreliable. Location is fantastic- walk to the beach and restaurants with a laid back feel, not nearly as crowded as some of the other communities along 30A.
We had my daughter and friends for 4 nights for her birthday. My husband and I stayed in the guesthouse. This property is the perfect location for the beach and restaurants. The beds are comfortable and the main house seemed well equipped. The guest house was nice too, it just needed a couple items: blow dryer, bathroom soap and a doormat to not track sand everywhere. We can’t wait to come back!
Property was perfect! Had young adult son and buddies stay in coach house, daughter and boyfriend stayed in main house with wife and myself. Front porch was amazing, bed swing mornings were spent sipping coffee and getting Lab snuggles from our furry daughter. Ketchen had everything we could ever need, extra fridge and icemaker were game changers. Best vacation hoise I've ever rented. Only challange were the locals county beach ordinaces which were ridiculous.
Great cottage and guest house, perfectly equipped and well maintained but - and this is truly no fault of management - there's a huge house presently under construction next door and the noise starts early. Didn't ruin our trip but it's fair to let prospective tenants know. We hadn't stayed in Grayton for the past 20 yrs and it was bittersweet to watch such an out-of-scale building going up, but the charm of the town somehow still hangs on.
This was our 2nd spring break at Grayton Beach and 6th vacation on 30A. We're glad we found Grayton and can't imagine staying anywhere else now. Previously we stayed across the highway and used the shuttle service to get to the beach. This time we wanted to be in the old part of Grayton and this home fit the bill! We loved being able to easily walk with our kids to the beach. The weather was cold but the water was beautiful and it was sunny. The surf was calm that week whereas on our last trip there were red flags for 2 days. Don't be surprised to see some trucks on the beach. (There are permits for homeowners and locals.) The house is lovely! We loved the big front porch, nautical decor, large kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and wonderful location. The primary bedroom and bathroom are spacious and the bed was great. The second bedroom, bathroom, and bunk bed nook were good for our girls. We used the washer and dryer every day and they worked well. The kitchen sink faucet had to be replaced one day and the handyman who works for AvantStay was friendly and courteous. A large home has been under construction next door and I imagine the homeowners on the block will be relieved when it's finished. I'd seen this info in a previous review and was mentally prepared for it. It seems like they're almost finished. We loved visiting The Shard Shop (make a reservation), Saladita Taqueria, Crackings (make a reservation), Papa Surf, AJ's, and The Big Chill.
