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
