About this property

Stay on 30a in a Quiet Gated Community. Private Access Boardwalk to Beach

Come and Stay at the Grayt Gulf Getaway! This beautiful 4 bedroom, 4 and a half bathroom, Grayton Beach home is located in The Preserve, a luxury, gated community with two neighborhood pools, tennis courts and a dedicated, private boardwalk to the white sand beaches and emerald green waters of the gulf. This well-appointed, comfortable home is the perfect place for your family to create lasting memories.

The generous, open floor plan allows the whole family to gather with room to spare. The fully equipped kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless appliances, an ice maker and plenty of room for meals at home with seating for 8 at the dining table and 4 additional seats at the large island. The spacious living room includes a comfortable sectional sofa and two cozy chairs. Just off of the dining room, a screened-in porch and backyard patio offer a great spot to relax after a fun day at the beach.

The main 1st floor bedroom has a king-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom with double sinks and large walk-in shower. The main 2nd floor bedroom has a king-sized bed, private balcony, walk-in closet, and a large bathroom with double sinks and spacious walk-in shower. The 2nd floor bunk room sleeps 6 with a twin xl over queen bunk, another twin over twin bunk and a pull-out trundle and has access to its own private bath with tub and shower. The 2nd floor queen bed guest room has a walk-in closet, private balcony and private bath with walk-in shower. The laundry room, also located on the 2nd floor, has full-size capacity washer and dryer.

The Preserve Community is nestled along the coast on Highway 30a in the midst of the natural pine trees and scrub vegetation that the area is famous for. There are two pools (the west end pool is heated during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and March 1st), two lighted tennis courts and pickleball lines. Access to the gorgeous beach is an 8-11 minute walk starting in the neighborhood and continuing on by way of a raised boardwalk through nature that is wagon, stroller and rolling cooler friendly.

Seaside is 3.3 miles from Grayt Gulf Getaway and can be a short 6 minute car ride or 16 minute bike ride. If you have a craving for ice cream, Blue Mountain Creamery is only a 5 minute bike ride from the property.

Just a short drive away, Grayton Beach State Park is home to Western Dune Lake, massive dunes, winding trails, and abundant wildlife. The park offers activites for everyone to enjoy such as canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, and bicycling.

Family Beach Trip

We chose this home for the floor plan as it was perfect for us as grandparents in room downstairs and our two adult children & spouses in 2 rooms upstairs with a bunk room for their 5 little ones. Every bedroom has it's own bath. The house was pristine and fully supplied. The owner was very quick to respond to all our questions. It was an easy walk down the private pier to the beautiful beach. We would rent here again!

Great Place!

Let's start with the owner. Very responsive and accommodating. The house was absolutely gorgeous. The rooms are massive, the community is quiet and clean. Our family had 3 adults and 5 children and still had plenty of space. Kitchen is fully stocked with nice dishware, the standalone ice maker came in very handy! Close enough to Seaside and Rosemary, but far enough away that you can enjoy peace and quiet in the evenings. Highly recommend the home and the owner. Great Experience.

Truly a Grayt Gulf Getaway!

Our family had a fantastic time at The Preserve! The home was wonderful in every way! Our family had plenty of room to spread out when desired, while also having ample space to gather together for meals and game time at the large kitchen table and the living room area. The neighborhood was quiet, friendly, and the home was in a great location. The walk to the beach was pleasant and easy, especially with the furnished beach equipment. Thomas provided excellent communication and even checked in with us several times during out stay. Truly a Grayt Gulf Getaway!

Relaxing stay

We’ve rented many beach houses with our extended family of 10 over the years, and this home ranks as one of the best. The home is clean and the included amenities made the stay much more pleasant and convenient. The abundance of beach towels and bath towels was appreciated along with the beach chairs, wagon, and umbrellas. The kitchen is well-equipped. The owner is by far the best we’ve rented from as far as responsiveness/communication. We’ve rented several places along 30A over the years and very much prefer the less crowded, more peaceful locations - this provided just that. The ability to walk to the beach is important for us, and this home is definitely within reasonable walking distance from the beach. The neighborhood is nice and quiet as well. Blue Mountain Creamery is also within walking distance.

80th birthday family beach trip!

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your amazing beach house! It is dreamy! Even better than the pictures show! So clean and comfortable! The A/C works great and ceiling fans are wonderful for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and dishes and plenty of utensils. The house has nice linens, towels and even beach towels! We really enjoyed that 2 of the upstairs bedrooms also had adjoining porches. We traveled with 12 people, 6 of which were 17-22 year olds. The bunk room slept all of them if they wanted. There was also a pull out sofa bed in the downstairs living room. All bedrooms have attached bathrooms which is a huge plus! The walk to the beach is not too far. We rented bikes and rode them to the beach access then locked them up on the fence and walked the rest of the way on the shady board walk. Grayton is a bike-able distance as well as the famous Blue Mountain Creamery and Red Fish Tacos! This house is in a quiet area on 30A and the beach is not crowded at all! All in all, a wonderful place to stay!

10/10 Would recommend. Relax. Beach. Repeat.

No negatives whatsoever. Spring Break at its finest. We travelled with 3 families (10 people total; 4 teens ages 16-18) and this home exceeded all expectations. Spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, incredible kitchen (fully stocked) and dining area. We also really enjoyed all of the porches this home has to offer. Wonderful washer/dryer on second floor was very helpful. Location in the neighborhood (incredibly quiet) to the walkway to the beach, pools and tennis courts was an added bonus. This home is more beautiful in person and we would be so fortunate to stay here again. Within walking distance (in addition to the beach) are some of our favorite things to see and do in the area: Red Fish Taco, Blue Mountain Creamery, Blue Mabel, Grayton Beach State Park, Grayton (to take the free shuttle into Seaside or to dine at Red Bar and Charingos). We had our bikes delivered and picked up by Big Daddy’s Bike Shop and did the beach chair setup by La Dolce Vida (west boundary) near Sanctuary at Redfish. The communication with the home owner was efficient and kind. We have vacationed in this area for many, many years and could not recommend this home and community enough. Thank you for sharing your home! All 10 of us (yes, teens too) were able to have the space we needed to relax, connect, beach and repeat!

Loved It!

Great Vacation Home! Great location with easy access to the surrounding area. The house was VERY clean and well equipped, and looked exactly like the pictures. It was a short walk to the beach, which was never overly crowded. Thomas was very responsive and so very helpful! He took the extra care to check in with us after check-in to make sure all was good, as well as during our stay. We will definitely book this home again!

Spring Break Reunion

Our family group of 10 enjoyed a wonderful stay and appreciated all the practical and beautiful details of this home. We cooked quite a bit and enjoyed the well equipped kitchen. The access to the beach included a shaded boardwalk through a nature preserve, which was quite special. We also enjoyed the variety of options available on the property and close by, including swimming, biking, tennis, as well as local ice cream and bakery shops. The owner was very helpful to communicate details about the property before we came and quickly responded to any questions that arose during our stay.

Fabulous Spring Break

Our family and friends enjoyed this beautiful home immensely! It was just as portrayed on the listing — actually even better! We cooked, hung out, did puzzles, went to the beach (super close walk on the private path), chilled on the screened-in porch (really relaxing while it rained), LAUGHED a lot, and enjoyed all the area has to offer. We spent time on the exquisite beaches in the area, dined at great restaurants, played golf, shopped, jet-skiied, and would have done more of all the above if the weather was a little more cooperative! The home is in a perfect location — sort of away from the crazy crowds of Seaside / Watercolor but still close enough if you want to bike there. The location was ideal for us and we enjoyed to unique vibe of Grayton and Santa Rosa. The owner was truly amazing in his communication and checked with us before, during, and after our visit to ensure everything was just right — and it was beyond just right. We would most definitely recommend this home as the perfect place to spend vacation with family and friends.

The best place I have stayed at 30A

Extremely happy with this house, since the moment I contacted the property manager before booking our trip, his responses were supper fast. The House was in perfect conditions, super clean and had everything we needed. Full equip kitchen. Spacious areas. Huge bedrooms and bathrooms. The outdoor sitting areas was amazing. The neighborhood super quite, never heard and outside noise. The private access to beach was amazing. About 1/2 mile walk from the house door to the beach. The preserve boardwalk to the beach was so nice with a lot of shade. I will defined come back to this house… WE LOVED IT

Awesome home!

Just a beautiful property and we’ve stayed in this neighborhood before. By far the most beautiful home we’ve stayed in. Large and and well laid out. Easy walk to the beach and the pool was never crowded. Can’t say enough positive about this home.

Spectacular accommodations!

First off, kudos to the cleaning crew - this place was pristine when we walked through the door ❤ The check-in/check-out was as smooth as can be, and the owners were always a quick text or phone call away if needed The West pool was heated at the time of our stay, so we took advantage of a few quick dips! The boardwalk through the mangroves to the private beach was beautiful and the perfect distance for a nice stroll without being too far. If you have littles (which we did), there is a beach wagon provided for the kids and/or beach items The house itself was spacious, new, beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture, screened in back porch, 2 upper balconies for morning coffee, and in a quiet gated community. The location is perfect to go to shops or dining in either direction. Highly recommended!
