Papa's Hideaway- secluded cottage in Grayton on the lake

Welcome to Papa's Hideaway- the perfect spot for your family's vacation. Situated on a large lot on Western Lake in Grayton, this 2 bedroom 1 bathroom cottage is an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway.
The community of Grayton is in the center of all 30A has to offer. This historic town has an "old Florida" feel with old oak trees and, of course, the famous Red Bar. The shops/restaurants in Grayton and the beach are about a 3 minute walk from Papa's Hideaway. Although this charming cottage is steps away from all that Grayton has to offer, it is perfectly tucked away for privacy.
Papa's Hideaway is on a corner lot protected by large pine trees. You enter the house through the large screened in porch. The porch has a wooden table with 4 chairs, a couch, and a large chair to relax and enjoy your morning coffee. When you enter the house, you are greeted by the living room, which has a wood burning fireplace, a couch, 2 large chairs and a flatscreen TV. The kitchen is adjacent to the living room and is stocked with pots and pans, cutlery, and glassware- ready for a home cooked meal! The stainless-steel refrigerator has a built-in ice maker. The stove top has 4 electric burners with an oven below.
The master bedroom has a king bed with a wonderful view of the large yard. There is a flatscreen TV and 2 nightstands in the master bedroom.
The second bedroom has 2 twin beds- perfect for the kids! There is another flatscreen TV in the second bedroom.
The bathroom has a wonderful large glass shower. In the closet of the bathroom are the washer and dryer.
The best part of the property is the dock on Western Lake. The dock is a great place to enjoy an evening cocktail or throw a line in the water to catch some fish.
Papa's Hideaway also has a charcoal grill on the outdoor patio and an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach.
*No pets allowed*
We can't wait to host you!

This was a great spot for my husband and his two groomsmen to stay for our wedding weekend. It's not big inside, but theres plenty of space outside and you're within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Very peaceful on the property too. The host was fantastic and very accommodating. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend this spot!

We have been coming to the Grayton/Seagrove Beach area for over 35 years and Papa’s Hideaway is at the top of our list of beach cottages. If you love the old time nostalgia of a true beach cottage, this little gem is for you!Tastefully decorated and so cozy and comfortable. Close to restaurants, hiking, biking and the gorgeous Emerald Coast beaches. The view of Western lake every morning was breathtaking.

This place can't be beat. The area is changing, but I like that Papa's Hideaway retains the vintage cool thing about Flordia's Fishcamp/Bungalows. Vintage, yet all the modern comforts. Amazing Bed, shower, outdoor areas, and views. Love the proximity to the beach and the ability to paddle board to the beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The property is amazing! As advertised. Comfy beds, great view of the lake and 3-5 min walk to the beach! Quite house, great AC and we took advantage of the kayak on site. You can also paddle board from the dock all the way to the beach. (You have to rent or bring the paddle boards yourself) We will definitely be back!!

This house was beyond perfect for my family of four and the lake access and short walk to the beach and great restaurants made it in my opinion the best house for us in Grayton. We rented an inflatable paddle board and 2 seat kayak and easily launched them from the dock. The two chairs on the dock also made it the perfect location for fishing and watching the sunrise. The house was beautifully decorated and so very cozy. We were also thankful for the fire pit, beach chairs, and cornhole game. I can’t say enough good things about this house. It was perfect!

Loved the location on the lake and the screened porch. Easy walk to the beach. No easy way to launch the kayak so we rented one. Detergent smell in the sheets was super strong but was remedied after rinsing them. Great management staff - responsive, helpful and friendly! Would definitely rent Papa’s Hideaway again.

Papa's Hideaway is a sanctuary nestled in beautiful trees looking out over a tranquil lake and reeds with just a short walk to the white sands beach bordered by state park land. I grew up in Florida and this reminds me of the days when cottages on the beach were for family time in the summer and contemplative time in the winter. It rained one day, but I was happy to sit inside and read my book. I could go on and on, but this was just what my soul needed.
