Perfect location and quiet neighborhood

We loved everything about our stay in Grayt Escape. The home was cozy, stocked, and perfect for our family of 10. Communication was key, location to beach was excellent. Best part is you can get to all the "busy popular spots" by golf cart or bike and then go back to the very relaxed neighborhood. We will be back

Amazing Property and Location

Grayt Escape is a beautifully appointed home with loads of amenities—well-supplied kitchen, fenced-in backyard with large table and seating area, plenty of room for our extended family of 10 to spread out, a grill, plenty of beach supplies, and even a golf cart to rent. We loved every minute of our visit to the Grayton area, and would absolutely recommend it. Also, shout out to Eileen, the property manager, who helped us navigate beach rentals!

Amazing Trip

We drove from Oklahoma to stay at this property, and it did not disappoint! The owner went above and beyond answering any questions we had. The house has a porch swing that I could have stayed on the entire trip! The beach access was awesome, and the beach chair service included was a nice touch. In the evenings, we would ride bikes to Blue Mountain Creamery to get ice cream and enjoyed eating it while watching tv together in the living room. In fact, so many places to eat and shop were close enough to ride bikes to, including Seaside. We would definitely go back and stay in this house again!

Wonderful property and owner!!

We loved our stay! The property is beautifully appointed and stocked with so many useful amenities. We’ve been renting vacation homes for 10+ years and this was easily one of the most well stocked kitchens we have encountered. The home was beautifully decorated and spotlessly cleaned. There were 10 in our party and we fit easily. We never felt crowded. We took advantage of the uncrowded pool and large grill multiple times. The beach, bakery, bike shop, ice cream shop, and souvenir shop were all within walking distance. Beach access was approximately .25 miles away. We drove down in the morning to set up chairs and umbrellas. We then could walk or bike the rest of the day. We did appreciate that chairs, umbrellas, towels and even a wagon and cooler were included with the rental. Shelly was wonderful to work with. She was so quick to answer any questions. She also provided very useful and delicious dining recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the Blue Mountain Beach area.

The best of our 4 stays at The Preserve

This was our 4th year to rent a house in The Preserve. Recent years were good…but The Grayt Escape was the best. From the special touches (shampoo, conditioner and body wash in every shower) to bikes, The Grayt Escape delivers a great stay. Loved the bunkroom for the kids, and the house layout was perfect. We will be back if in the area for a 5th stay!

Wonderful family vacation!

This is a great property and location-nice neighborhood for walking & biking. We appreciated having everything for the beach provided at the house- beach/pool towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, a wagon, as well as bikes! The walk to the beach is a bit far since you have to go down the beach away from the designated areas that LaDolce Vita sets ups for the other properties, but for able bodied folks, this shouldn't be an issue, although it could be with little people or older folks who have a harder time getting around. We also appreciated the shampoo, conditioner & shower gel in each shower, as well as the hand soap at all sinks. Also provided were dishwasher pods, dish soap, laundry pods & toilet paper which is so helpful not to have to buy all of that. We rented the golf cart which was a fun addition also. We loved our time at Grayt Escape! Thank you Shelly.

Great location

Nice property only steps from Grayton Beach & Watercolor. Unfortunately the bridge was closed (not the property owners fault) so that made the commute to Seaside/Watercolor longer and not available by golf cart. Really enjoyed the availability of the golf cart for rent to travel to Santa Rosa beach side, and the community heated pool during the cold November nights. Overall, we would definitely stay here again, just will check the county’s roadworks before we do!

Great week

The house was really nice and luckily they had sofas that pulled out so we could fit everyone. The only downside was that there are a lot of neighborhood rules and they are very strict. The next door neighbors had to report us for various infractions (my nephew that just had open heart surgery parked a little bit on their property).

GREAT TIME AT GRAYTON BEACH!

This is a cute roomy beach style house. Clean. Excellent safe neighborhood. Close to everything. Consider getting the golf cart. It makes it convenient to park... for instance as at nearby Seaside. Slight walk to the beach at Grayton Beach which in my opinion is the best beach. The manager is very responsive. Thanks to Eileen and Shelly!

Great Home in Great Neighborhood

The house was great for a 30A beach house. It was even nicer in person than in the pictures. We’ve stayed at several houses on 30A and this has the best beach by far. It isn’t crowded and has 2 little inlet/coves that are amazing for kids to play. Think a humongous kiddie pool that’s the ocean with crystal clear water. You have to walk to the beach but it takes about 10 minutes and it’s a nice shaded boardwalk most of the way. Our kids brought scooters and it was fun to walk! The home is really well equipped including all the beach gear you need: beach towels, wagon, chairs, umbrellas, kids strollers, boogie boards, pool noodles and beach toys. The kitchen was also well stocked with anything you might need during your stay. Normally we have to go out and by things like dish soap and trash bags but this home had it all! The owner even brought us doughnuts one morning!

Very clean and lovely decor

Our family visited for a week with kids of various ages including 2 infants. There was plenty of room, the condo was very clean, and decor was updated and lovely. The unit is steps to the pool which is well maintained. The roof top terrace was very cool to visit at night for a glass of wine and some solitude. The condo feels private and is quiet despite being one of four in a building. The ocean is approximately 6-8 min walk which is not bad at all even with kids/babies. This property also provides baby gates, beach towels, a pack n play, and other needed items that will save you from having to pack and travel with. Another favorite thing was the huge TV and comfy couch on the first level where we brought our Nintendo switch for kids to play at night! Great time all around. I would highly recommend and hope to visit this property again.
