Private Pool in Grayton & Feet to the Beach; Next Door to Chiringo & Red Bar

Newly remodeled! Old-school charm awaits guests at Grayt Fun, a charming beach house in Grayton Beach that sleeps 10. This home features a private pool (with option to heat), large fenced-in yard and is a mere 390 feet to beach access – you can see the Gulf from the driveway!

With its casual vibe, original character plus luxurious updates and upgrades, everyone will feel at home and at this 3-bedroom beach retreat. Unlike many of the more modern homes on 30A, Grayt Fun has vintage personality in every room. You'll love lounging by your private pool where you'll find plenty of seating for ultimate relaxation.

There are 2 living areas in the home with plenty of comfy seating. The fully-equipped open kitchen features a breakfast bar for 2, plus an additional counter along the window with seating for 4. Guests can choose from the king suite at the back of the house, queen bedroom or the 2 twins bedroom. Plus the 2nd living area features a bunk nook with 4 beds.

Grayt Fun is the perfect spot if you like to go out and explore bars and restaurants. You’ll have no issues finding options at your doorstep: the famous Red Bar is about a 30-second walk and Chiringo is literally next door. Location is even better for beach access 1 minute and your toes are in the sand. Plus with your stay you can take advantage of 4 beach chairs and a wagon to haul everything back and forth.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Bedroom 1: King bed, TV, pool patio access. Private half bathroom.
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, TV.
Bedroom 3: 2 twin bed, TV.
Bunkroom: 2 sets of twin-over-twin beds.
Shared bathroom 1 includes a tub/shower combo and shared bathroom 2 has a shower.

Beach Access:
Head down the driveway and south on Defuniak where it quickly turns into Hotz, this road ends at your access.
Distance: 295 feet | Time: 1 minute walking

Grayton Beach:
Grayton Beach is one of the quirkiest and most personable of all the beach towns along 30A. In Grayton, everyone seems to own a dog and the whole gang will be happy to welcome you to this authentic, laid-back town. Ancient oaks and fragrant magnolias shade rustic cottages next to modern mansions. Funky beach shops share white sand lots with upscale restaurants and the nostalgic sounds of blues bands and local musicians can be heard in local hang outs. Enjoy Grayton Beach for its unique artistic vibe. You'll feel like a local in this area and quickly become immersed in the community art scene. Grayton welcomes everyone.

Great stay, wish we had better communication
This stay was overall great. We were disappointed however at the poor communication regarding the pool heat. This property advertises a heated pool, but it was not communicated to us until well after arriving that the pool could not be heated unless we stayed for a full week. This is after a private message with the property before our arrival saying that the pool could be heated we only needed to message. Since that was a big reason we selected this property it’s very disappointing. Another note is that the windows/curtains in the living room are transparent at night. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Otherwise this location is great and the property was as described.

Great girls weekend getaway!
This was the perfect place to host a getaway with friends! We wanted a beach location to celebrate a bachelorette party and this was the best house! Plenty of room for everyone and you can't beat the location and pool amenities. Everyone had a great time and commented on how perfect the house was. The smallest things to note that could improve: one bathroom didn't have a lock on the door and the other bathroom lock didn't work. The shower looks to have been recently updated and anytime anyone took a shower, the water seeped out between the glass door and onto the floor causing a mess. Also, the communication with the host/rental property agents was poor. I texted the "text line" that was in the check-in instructions with no reply. I then received a different number to text the next day and the communication was very delayed. Overall, an amazing trip and would 10/10 stay here again!

We would rent it again
We were impressed how the master bedroom is private/ separate from the others, but that room was a little difficult to cool. We were impressed at all the items available in the storage unit by the pool. The pool water is a bit too warm however. When we arrived, everything was clean except the spoon rest. The kitchen could benefit from more supplies such as more mixing bowls, Tupperware and a spatula. The small shower was difficult to use because the shower curtain kept blowing on your legs. It was helpful that there were lots of towels and even dark washcloths for removing make up. Providing hand soap in the kitchen would be a good idea. We would rent it again!

very dissatisfied
the only reason a gave a 1 star is the bedrooms very good when we got there we had to pick up water bottles and plastic cups there was candy wrappers stuffed in the candle holders and wax left all over from the burnt out candles obviously they did not clean outside so i wiped down the table and the dirt nasty we arrived on a Sunday and the pool was dirty so we could not use it until Tuesday pool cleaning day. The dish washer was broke so a repair person showed up but had to order a new dish washer so we where there the whole time no dishwasher. The pictures shown in the rental are nothing like what was there. Sleeps 10 but only has seating for 4 two at the counter and two at a table bar stools that were a heavy plastic and with two small kids there was really no place for them to eat . The Carpet in the bedroom was so dirty i had to fold it up and put it away the windows were dirty and most of them leaked therefore the place really was not looked after. House did not appear cleaned there were cob webs at the floor and refrigerator if you are going to charge extra for covid you need to clean the outside also . We had to stay a additional day because of weather which they did not charge me appreciate that . This place needs alot a TLC

Great Location. Rent bikes. 2 come with property. Umbrellas for beach.
Fixed a few plumbing issues early. Lighting of back yard and pool were disappointing. If one of my renters had these issues they expect for gathering with family and friends, I would not be renting until all is fixed. We enjoyed this property.

Great location for family of all ages
Excellent location in the heart of Grayton! Surprisingly quiet and private, though it is next door to a restaurant and on the busiest corner in the area. Can park, check in and never drive again until it’s time to go home! One level home worked well for my elderly parents, pool was great though the door alarm to the pool (which is a state requirement) spooked my dog, so we went out the front door and around to the pool in the back so as not to set off the alarm. Well-stocked kitchen - could have cooked more if there weren’t amazing restaurants 2 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great experience!

Fun at grayton beach
We had a great time at the beach. The property is as listed except the photos need to be updated. The bunk room has been upgraded and is very comfortable for children now. The dining room furniture has been changed and seats only 4 (2 at bar and 2 at table). Outdoor table and chairs set up seats 6+ as long as weather holds. Next door neighbor is noisy restaurant-bar. However they close at 10. Little things help...they have plenty of fluffy white towels. Also the kitchen knives actually cut. Manager very responsive.

Perfect getaway!
We had a fantastic time here -- the location is ideal, close to the beach and shops. Perfect walking, running and biking. The online pictures do not accurately show how great this house is. Way better in person -- our family with four young children and our dog absolutely had a great time. Parking wasn't an issue for us, the restaurant next door can get very busy but it is also great. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

So Disappointed!😔
I’ve never written a bad review before but I can’t express how disappointed I was with my 60th BD celebration these past few weeks. The house was gross, dog pee all over the rugs ( took me a little while to figure it out, I removed them as soon as I realized), the AC filters were horrible, my dogs got into something in the yard and I had 5 visits to the vet spending another 1000 and time and anguish! I later discovered a rat trap in the yard, yes, all this really happened in my 2 weeks. This house has so much potential but no one has taken care of it and the mold, mildew, roaches, dog urine really did me in. I just got home and my clothes smell so bad that I am having to wash everything that was in that house. I do not recommend this property and I am super disappointed! I wasted so much time cleaning, taking my dogs to the vet, removing urine ruined rugs, looking for what was making my dogs sick in the yard that I had little time to enjoy the beach. The property manager did return my calls but offered no resolution but sending someone to “clean” after I had spent hours already doing it. The sofa in the front room needs to go in the dumpster with the rugs. IT appeared to be “surface clean” but the odors and air quality were horrible and I had to spend so much time to get it to be barely adequate. 2020 has truly sucked for everyone but I was really looking forward to this trip and I’m sick that I spent so much money for such disappointment!

Great location, roomy, cute beach cottage
My husband, teenaged son, our small dog and I stayed at this house on our recent trip to Grayton Beach and we enjoyed the house overall, but there were a couple of issues. Pros: Very close to a beautiful beach, fenced yard which was great for our dog, pool, roomy (could comfortably sleep 10), nice, well appointed kitchen, lots of fluffy white towels, and a fireplace which we didn’t use but would be cozy in the fall and winter months. Cons: Spotty WIFI ( in the living room we couldn’t get on the Internet at all ) very little privacy at the pool (there is a restaurant directly next door to the house and the back door of the restaurant where the staff go in and out to smoke, etc. overlooks the pool so that was awkward ) and I’m pretty sure our dog picked up fleas at the house. As I said it’s also next door to a restaurant and at night the crowd can become pretty loud there. Also the window blinds in the house don’t offer very much privacy at night.

GrayT Fun cottage
This cottage was perfect in every way. We had 6 adults, a 1 year old, and a small dog. The rooms were a good size. Location to the beach is very easy and short. A couple restaurants and general store in an easy bike ride away. WiFi was sketchy and most of us couldn't stay connected, but, you're at the beach, so it shouldn't matter. The pool in the backyard was ideal. The first two days the beach was on double red, so no swimming. Relaxing in the pool after sunning on the beach was perfect. Another nice touch is the hammock in the front yard. Will definitely book at this cottage again.

Grayt place to stay!
This is the perfect location in the Grayton beach area! I was here with my 5 year old son and my dog. The close proximity to the beach and restaurants made my stay here way less stressful. My dog was so happy to have a yard to play ball in and so was her mom. I felt very comfortable leaving the door open while I did things around the home as my son and dog played in the yard.
