Sweaty Palms - Grayton Beach, Close to the Red Bar, Steps to the Beach!
What You Will Love About Sweaty Palms
Tucked into the heart of historic Grayton Beach, Sweaty Palms is a classic two-bedroom, one-bath cottage that beautifully blends vintage charm with modern comfort. Perfect for up to four guests, this single-level retreat offers a bright, inviting atmosphere and an unbeatable location just a short stroll from the Gulf and the iconic Red Bar. Inside, crisp shiplap walls, warm hardwood floors, and coastal artwork create a nostalgic beach-cottage vibe, while quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen add a touch of modern luxury. The cozy living area is ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun, and thoughtful touches like central air conditioning and a washer and dryer make extended stays feel effortless.
The outdoor spaces capture the relaxed spirit of old Florida living. A screened front porch welcomes quiet mornings with coffee from Black Bear Bread Co., while the sunny back deck—complete with a shaded pergola dining area, grill, and lush grassy yard—offers a peaceful spot for alfresco meals or evening cocktails. Guests especially love the home’s serene setting, tucked away yet just steps from all the charm of Grayton.
What You Will Love About Grayton Beach
Grayton Beach is where the laid-back soul of 30A truly shines. This beloved coastal community is a mix of rustic charm, vibrant character, and timeless beach appeal. Wander down sandy lanes lined with weathered cottages and ancient oaks, and you’ll feel the easy rhythm of life that makes Grayton so special. Locals and visitors alike gather at favorite spots like The Red Bar, Chiringo, and the Zoo Gallery, where live music, great food, and art meet in effortless harmony. With Grayton Beach State Park and Western Lake nearby, outdoor adventures—whether paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing—are always within easy reach.
What You Will Love About 30A
Scenic Highway 30A is a coastal gem known for its breathtaking beauty, unique beach towns, and endless opportunities to explore. Each community along this stretch has its own distinct character—from Seaside’s iconic pastel cottages to WaterColor’s refined elegance and Blue Mountain’s laid-back charm. Spend your days biking along the Timpoochee Trail, sampling local seafood at waterfront cafés, or browsing boutique shops and art galleries. When the sun sets, catch live music under the stars or simply enjoy the gentle Gulf breeze on the sand. Staying in Grayton Beach puts you right at the center of it all, perfectly positioned to experience everything that makes 30A unforgettable.
