Great location and wonderful house. Just be aware that there is an HOA that rules the neighborhood- owners partied at the pool with a repair issue while they wanted to on weekend, then closed the pool for us even though no visible work was done on it all week. Grateful that Royal offered a gift for compensation but nothing they could really do,

Susan, we are glad you were able to enjoy the incredible location Hallelujah offers in Grayton Beach. After speaking with the HOA, our team was made aware of pipe issues and unfortunately, issues with the HOA are out of our control. We apologize for any inconvenience the community pool may have caused but are glad our team was able to drop off a gift card.

This was our second year at the Hallelujah and we had another great week! The house meets all the needs of our extended family which includes 6 adults and 3 children under 5 and was in great condition when we arrived. We loved having the lake and pool close by and used a rented golf cart to carry all of our gear to the beach. The house comes with four bikes and we used those several times. We plan to come back next year!

We had such an amazing stay at the Hallelujah House. The place was so comfortable for our group of 11. We had all ages - from 14 to 82. Early morning kayaking in the lake, easy strolls to the most beautiful beach, and night swimming in the pool. The location offers easy access by bike or golf cart to all of the Grayton area musts (and Seaside/Watercolor). The concierge was always prompt to respond - and made it a breeze to rent bikes, beach chairs/umbrellas, and a golf cart. . We’ll definitely be back.

This vacation was designed for my in-laws. They are 92 and 90,respectively. They are of eastern Indian descent and have always been world travelers. My mother-in-law suffered a level 5 aneurysm in September of 2019. It has been a challenging year with her rehab and then covid. Royal Destinations could not have been more accommodating to our unique situation. The house was phenomenal. To see my in-laws in the ocean was the miracle. The staff of Royal Destination was responsive to our every need. The vacationers and security staff of Grayton Beach were so kind to my in-laws. We are already planning another trip for the spring and we will be booking through Royal Destinations. Thank you Royal Destinations for your kindness.

Reviewer Comments:
The home is very nice but there are some things that could be improved. First, the location is amazing, the views over the lake are incredible and the quiet neighborhood is extremely relaxing. The walk to the beach is manageable even with kids though the walk back for a bathroom if needed can be a concern with little ones. The house is newer construction and still has the builder grade paint (flat) which makes every handprint/dirt stick out pretty badly, it could use a fresh coat of paint with a quality eggshell/semi gloss. You can hear every conversation above/below your room due to no insulation in the floors/ceiling which is typical but for the price of the home, spray foam insulation just makes sense here. Our friends who stayed with us were above the master br and we could hear every footstep when they were awake, also the screened-in porch is directly below the master and if using that room, those trying to sleep in the master will have a hard time doing so.Kids did not complain about the beds though the 3rd FL BR with the king bed was a complaint for the couple who slept there, the master BR king size was ok, but again not great considering the age of the unit. The house was clean, with plenty of silverware/dishes but the dishwasher was extremely loud and the built-in ice maker didn't really do much.A fridge/icemaker in the porch area would really be convenient for filling coolers with beverages.The 5pm check-in time was later than we have experienced at any other property in the area and was a slight inconvenience that we made work.Communication with mgt company was excellent, had no issues during our stay.
