Great place

Highly recommend this place to stay. Drew offered up to rent us a 6 passenger golf cart and we’re so happy we did. It made it easy to get to places and most golf carts and it was much more budget friendly than the others that are rented by other companies. Beautiful home with all the amenities. Very peaceful area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 would recommend and stay here again.

Great stay!

We so enjoyed our stay in Grayton! Drew, the host, responds quickly and will help with any interests (in our case, bicycle rental recommendation). He will make sure you find what you need. With such a helpful host, and with a beautiful place to stay, we had wonderful family time at the beach, on bicycles, hiking through the state park, and more.

LOVED IT!

Lovely home, beautifully decorated, wonderful hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rode bikes to Sea Side, ate at nearby restaurants, shopped on 30A, swam in the pool, played in the ocean and more. The house is in a great location and very well-appointed.

Family fun

Very good amenities in the home, such as stocked kitchen, big dining table, a few porches to choose from, beach gear and bicycles. Our 13 year olds had fun on the bikes. Great living room and nicely decorated with beachy theme. Easy golf cart rides to Grayton beach and Seaside areas. Host was very friendly and accommodating. We recommend staying here for sure!

Gem of a place

Perfect stay for our family. Enough space for everyone. Really appreciate pet friendly accomodations so our pup could join us on vacation. Great, quick communication with Drew. He gave us great tips to make getting on the beach easy. Fun to walk to shops and restaurants nearby and easily bike to 30A.

Paradise!

Our month-long stay here was delightful in every way - the house was very clean, and the location was perfect. We were steps away from a great walking trail that we enjoyed with our dogs daily. I have never experienced an easier check-in process, and the host was extremely helpful and responsive. I recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a fabulous vacation experience in beautiful Grayton Beach.

Very pleasant place to be

The house has a great layout. Plenty of space and several outdoor spaces. The Grayton Beach tram is not a long walk or you can drive and the tram will take you straight to the beach. So handy. The area has lots of places to eat and very easy to get to Seaside or Rosemary. Host was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous and perfect location!

From the time we arrived until we left, it was perfect! I have never felt so accommodated prior to arriving as well! I didn’t ask for anything special but the owner communicated details that we needed. Once we arrived everything was perfect! The home was beautiful and had everything we could have possibly needed. Thank you thank you! I can’t wait for our next trip!

Perfect property near everything but crowds!

The house was beautiful and felt much larger inside than the sq footage listed. The owners were super nice and had provided everything we could have needed. The home is in a very quiet development of only s few houses on what feels like a secluded area with very little congestion. The beach is a short bike ride away. We will definitely be back.

Amazing Place to Stay!

This was a great beach location. The house was just as advertised! The house was very clean, well decorated, and comfortable beds. It had everything that you would need for the week. Located right near downtown Grayton. It is an easy drive to Grayton State Park or downtown Grayton. Great communication with the host and he was always willing to answer any questions I had. We rented the golf cart from the host and used that to go to different restaurants, to get ice cream, and watch the sunset on the beach at night. He responded very quickly with any help we might have needed. We look forward to returning to stay here again soon.

Very Nice Place

Had a great six-night stay. Was in communication with Drew before and during our stay and he was extremely prompt and helpful in getting back to us ... The house, which is in a great location, met our needs, it was very clean and well stocked with supplies ... We did run a bit low on garbage bags but that was not a big deal at all ... The bedrooms were nice with each having a tv if you wanted to do that ... Having a washer and dryer was helpful as well ... Very close to the tram which got us to and from the beach ... I would definitely stay there again

Great Spring Break

We had a wonderful stay at Heron Cottage. The home is lovely, comfortable, and very clean. We liked the location and talked about how lucky we were to have picked this one for Spring Break since other parts of 30-A were intensely crowded. The shuttle to the beach is close by. This was our first time staying in Grayton Beach after previously being in Seacrest, Seagrove, and Rosemary. We really loved the natural beauty of the sand dunes, the dune lake, and the outflow that connects it to the beach. It provided an additional place for our kids to play when we had a day of jellyfish and red flags. The owner is very kind, helpful, and quick to respond. My family would be happy to get to stay here again.
