Loved this beach house

This is the best beach house we have ever stayed at. Fit a family of 10 adults and 3 infants/toddlers very well. We loved the 3 decks and how close you are to the beach. Also the privacy of the beach is nice.

Great House, Great Location!

We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again! The neighborhood was peaceful and the beach was never crowded which made for a relaxing vacation. If we wanted to go to the restaurants in Grayton Beach it was an easy walk along the beach. Although most nights we cooked our dinner and the kitchen was well stocked and great for that! We also loved the layout of the house. We have a daughter in a wheelchair so it was really nice to have some bedrooms on the main living floor. Thank you for sharing your home!

Amazing location!!

Perfect spot for our annual family beach vacation! We loved the outdoor spaces and the kitchen! The proximity to the beach/ ocean was fantastic and felt very secluded. The kids/dads caught 9 pompano fish, casting from the beach out front.. a dream for them!! Added bonuses were the beach toys and chair/ umbrella setups!! We loved it all!!

Great Beach Vacation

This was our 4th or 5th time to stay here and each gets better. Location and house are perfect for our family and owner has upgraded house through the years. Beach was closed a couple of days due to dangerous undertow but lots to do in area. Beach chair set up each day was a nice benefit. We hope to return again.

Wonderful family house

This house, right on the beach, was perfect for our group of 11 adults and 4 children. The kitchen was very well stocked with kitchen tools, pots and pans, cutting boards, etc. And it was a huge plus to have 6 beach chairs and 3 umbrellas set up in front of the house every morning. We loved our stay at Seas the Day!

Spring break

We had multiple families for spring break with kids ranging in age from 15 - 18 years old. The kitchen is well accommodated and the view is breathtaking! Living on the ocean for a week was incredible. They had beach chair service everyday. Grayton Beach is a fantastic little town which was gratefully less crowded then Seaside. I would go back again!

Beautiful location

Only thing I would recommend is that the cleaning crew clean insides of windows. We had such a spectacular view but after 1 day I cleaned the dining area windows so we could enjoy seeing out better. We had small grandkids and the back porch had some repair work needed

Beautiful House on the Beach

This house was just as advertised. Very clean. Had all the amenities with a kitchen full of everything we needed. A pleasant surprise were the the chairs and umbrellas set up in the sand each morning and put away each evening. Short walk along the beach to Grayton and several restaurants and a brewery. When we first arrived, the wifi wasn't working. However, a technician was sent out, replaced the modem, and we we had wifi.

A 10/10 🏠 Home!!

We took our immediate family ( 6 of us) , our 7month old granddaughter and my mom. My aunt and uncle came for a few days too. We rented an electric beach wheelchair for my mom - that made all the difference and she had the time of her life. This home is wonderful! Having so many balconies was a treat. We also didn’t realize we would have beach service daily !! That was fantastic! Kara ( homeowner) was quick to respond to any questions I had. I loved this home and so did my family !

Family Weekend

Property was perfect for 5 adult couples and 1 toddler. Beach access couldn’t have been better. Found the house to have great sound proofing as with so many people you should have heard more noise. Kitchen well equipped with pots, pans, glasses, silverware etc. Stove top a little odd in that 2 burners on one side of an extremely large sink and 2 on other side. That was a little inconvenient. Owner quick to respond and answers all questions. All in all we would come back to same house. Thank you.

Perfect house ever!

Our vacation sadly started with a hurricane but ended with the most beautiful rainbow! We still had the best week. The house is perfect. Everything you would even need and more provided. Due to Covid, we never left the house once we arrived. Groceries were picked up and the rest of our week was spent with family time. Kara is the best realtor we've ever rented from.. Quick response on every question and so personable.. The location is perfect and the beach was just steps away from the house making it so easy with small ones. Thanks again for such a great week! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kara Plaster

Host profile image
We are from Tulsa Oklahoma and purchased the home after searching for a private beach community that is family friendly. We love the proximity to the restaurants that 30a has to offer without the beach crowds during the day. We have a large family and found many houses didn't quite accommodate our family. We bought this home and rent it to families like ours.

Why they chose this property

This is a unique property that is situated in the middle of the Grayton Beach State Park. This stretch of beach remains uncrowded even at the peak of summer.
