This house was perfect for our large group. The bunk room with its own sitting area was so nice for the kids. All beds were comfortable, and the location can’t be beat! The house could use a good deep cleaning, and some of the rugs were stained, but we would definitely stay here again!

We were four couples on our annual trek to Grayton Beach and this place could not have fit us better, with room to spare - we could have fit another couple abs 8 kids! Just steps from the Red Bar and the beach. We’ll be back.

The house has an amazing location and a ton of space. We loved how each bedroom has its own bathroom. The house seemed to be missing the bare necessities that beach properties normally have (paper towel, extra toilet paper, salt, pepper, olive oil, etc...). So be sure to bring those necessities or plan to purchase everything.

Amazing location. Very responsive staff. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well appointed for a big dinners and lots of cooking including thanksgiving dinner which we had at the property with large family gathering.
Could have used beach towels and chairs, more higher end cleaning products for hygiene, laundry, dishwasher, etc.

Had a family reunion with 15 adults. We loved the huge kitchen and big bedrooms each with their own bathroom! Having a private swimming pool certainly provided extra entertainment especially when we had room for our cornhole boards. The walk to the beach was easy even for the oldest in our group which were 82 and 81! Being able to walk to shops and restaurants and the younger adults having a place to gather worked out perfectly! Loved the amenities like the golf cart, bicycles, and little goodies left for us to enjoy. Thanks for a great time and we look forward to returning next year!

The home was even larger than expected. Very well maintained and nice furnishings. Topically clean, but could use a deeper clean. Pool extremely nice, but would have helped to have had leaves blown away when pool was cleaned, so they would be tracked back into the pool. Overall, very nice experience.
