Great customer service

The property was super cute and clean. The customer service was great, we locked ourselves out and they resolved the problem immediately. They also communicated well, and notified us the property was 2 hours early and could check in early free of charge!

Ideal location for anniversary celebration!

Being in this super cute cottage and walking to the beach and local restaurants for quick food or live music was easy and ideal. The additional outdoor shower was a bonus for in-between beach trips. The locals and visitors were all very friendly. I highly recommend this experience.

Adorable vintage cottage

This cottage was so unique, very clean and decorated like someone’s house. Lovely place, great location, good for couples. The management company was also on point, never had to reach out to them, they made sure I had all the information I needed before I even thought about it. Great stay!

Shepherd Cottage Grayton Beach

The cottage was everything we were looking for. Simple, cozy, laid back, close to the beach and restaurants. We will definitely be back, more likely in the fall of the year rather than blistering heat of August.

Cute little shabby shack

Loved the place, old shack nicely updated. Would be 5 stars if it were not so close on one side to a giant brand new home that detracts some from the rustic charm of this place.
