Grayton Beach is a laid-back, organic beach town with old-style wooden beach bungalows and narrow neighborhood streets lined with live oaks. You'll also get a “hippie kitsch” feel having the iconic Red Bar a stroll away. Take the neighborhood boardwalk to the beach or hop on the bikes and head 2.4 miles to explore Seaside. This cool little beach town is also home to the diverse coastal ecosystems of Western Lake and Grayton Beach State Park, and is a gateway to a large expanse of sugar-white beach that is a haven for fishermen, boaters, and beachcombers alike.

AREA ATTRACTIONS:
30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach accesses along a 17 mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous. Grayton Beach not only provides you with stunning views, it provides you with activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, hiking, and snorkeling -- you'll find it all right here!
Enjoy this Funky, Free-spirited town where you will find quaint historic cottages next to modern beach homes. It’s an eclectic beach burg with good times, picket fences, funky art, and great dining and shopping. You’ll enjoy the many shopping and dining options such as Grayton Seafood Co, or Trattoria Borago. This is much more than a cool beach town, this location is the best of both worlds, enjoy a quiet relaxing getaway while still having a lot of action packed activities at your fingertips.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Cute little home that was perfect for what we needed. The area has lots of little local fare and the surrounding state parks are beautiful. Having the bikes to ride was a nice little perk
Grayt Escape was perfect for our family of four. Quiet street and an easy five minute walk to the beach access. The house had everything we needed. The screened in porch and outdoor shower were amazing to have as well. We can’t wait to return!
Grayton has long been our family's destination for vacation. This was the first time staying in a rental. While small, the cabin is beautifully maintained, in a perfect location, comes with bikes!, and the management company was very responsive.
My daughter and I really enjoyed this little house. It was a perfect size for the two of us - it would also work well for a small family. We were happy to be just a short walk from the beach and loved that there were bikes also available to use. There are some very small improvements that would make this property more comfortable, but overall we loved it.
Pine street is the place to stay in Grayton Beach for a quiet and private spot still close to all the action. This rental is clean and cozy, has what is needed. Space could be an issue 1) if you need storage space for dry goods/food or 2) like counter space in a bathroom. The kitchen has apartment sized appliances and space, which could be an issue if you plan to cook all your meals. The smoke detector is close to the coil stove burners so you will likely set the smoke detector off unless all the doors and fans are on. Beds are a little outdated and squeaky. Showers are good. Other than that, it’s a nice stay and you’ll love the screened in porch.
Our family had a great time here. Check in was very easy. The house is in a great location and such an easy walk to the beach. We did not run into any issues during our stay.
We enjoyed our stay so much, The location is perfect for beach & restaurants while also being quiet and peaceful. Our communication with the property manager was exceptional. She was quick to respond and helped us with our arrival. I recommend the property and the management company 100%!!
We enjoyed our stay here. The home is tucked away on a quiet street. This was our first time staying at Grayton Beach, but it won’t be our last. The home is exactly as pictured & perfect for a couple. The bikes were an added bonus.
Clean, convenient and love the area. Bikes were great. Few basic amenities would have been nice as we arrived by plane i.e beach chairs, beach towels, kitchen basics like foil, Saran Wrap.
Lighting in bathrooms not great .
Regardless, comfortable and enjoyed it all!

Nice place but needs maintenance
We overall had a good stay but the rental property has a lot of maintenence needs. We sent a list to the property manager of the items so they can try to address them.
The house was perfect for our family of four. Our college age daughters took turns sleeping on the upper twin bunk. We all loved the outdoor shower after the beach, which is a short walk down the street followed by a short hike on a sandy path. My husband loved biking to the local coffee shop and checking out the surrounding area in the morning when it was cooler. The limited beach access meant smaller crowds. We would love to rent again.
Our place was very clean! No cobwebs on the porch like some places have. The bikes were in excellent condition. The beach was not overly crowded like Destin tends to be. There were plenty of places to visit within biking distance. I love that the cabin is on the edge of the neighborhood with the woods right across from us. There wasn’t a lot of traffic on our street. I was at peace sipping wine on the screened in porch with no mosquitos or other bugs bothering me.

Pictures look nothing like the actual listing on Vrbo. You walk in and it looks like Camp Crystal Lake. There were cockroaches, porch swing was broken, spiderwebs and bugs all in the screened in porch, screened in porch was outdated and falling apart, washer was so backed up and not cleaned properly overtime so we couldn’t use it all week, only one roll of toilet paper was in each bathroom and we had to go out and buy our own toilet paper. The smell inside the place was so musty and it smelt like someone smoked inside. We had to go buy plug ins to help with the smell. Overall, the house needs a huge remodel and the house also moves. If someone is walking around and someone is laying down or sitting down, you can feel the house move. Also, the house to the right of the house looks awful. In the town of Grayton Beach, this house and the house to the right are considered scum. And boy are they correct! Absolute joke and should be embarrassed.
Mattress are really old and you sleep in “indentations”. Every shift in the night is accompanied with the bed creaking, squeaking or the headboard banging on the window sill.
Overall cleanliness was below average. All sorts of hair in the bathroom floors and shower.
Spray more for bugs. Killed multiple roaches. Can understand why as you can see daylight around the back door in the kitchen.
May visit Grayton again but definitely won’t stay at this place.
We definitely loved the location of this property. Easy walk or bike ride to anywhere we needed to go. It was just big enough for 4 of us. Kitchen is very small, but it was fine for cooking/preparing light meals. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were great! Needs a larger non-stick pan added to the cookware supply. The primary bedroom needs a new mattress. We "rolled to the middle" on that one. Primary bathroom needs more lighting. The one light fixture was very dim and was hanging down from the ceiling. A tv in the second bedroom would also be nice. The front porch swing was great. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch every day. The interior of the porch could use a paint touch up and there were several places in the screens that need repair/replaced. The outdoor string lights need to be replaced as well. The outdoor shower was great added touch. RealJoy rental company was awesome to work with. They were very efficient and kept us updated and notified as our trip approached. House entrance and bike codes all worked properly. We never had to contact them for anything. The only code/password discrepancy was the WiFi password info listed on the refrigerator. It's not correct. The password given by RealJoy is the correct one. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation to Grayton Beach and will definitely be returning to that area in the future.
Best feature was the easy beach access. Property was large enough for a couple or small family and was accurately described in the listing. Beds were comfortable and we never ran out of hot water. Outside storm doors could use a little maintenance. All in all a very positive experience. We would stay here again.
