Location: Grayton Beach

Details:
If you're searching for a 30A vacation rental with a hard-to-beat location in the heart of Grayton Beach, look no further than Kevin's Heaven. Located just 20 yards from the Grayton Dunes Beach Access, a stay at this Grayton beach rental puts you mere steps from the sugar white sand beaches. Start and end your day by watching the sun rise or set over the beautiful clear blue Gulf waters from one of the two large porches. In the mornings, take in the warm breezes and explore Grayton the best way we know how... on 1 of your 4 complimentary adult bikes! Spend long days at the spacious beach access enjoying the refreshing Gulf waters. Don't let your getaway pass you by without exploring the Coastal Dune Lake (Western Lake). If you're lucky, you may get to experience the lake breach the berm of the sand and flow into the Gulf's blue waters. This creates a rare brackish ecosystem home to both fresh and saltwater species that are sure to keep you exploring for hours. After the sun sets, guests can walk and grab drinks at Chiringo, shop at Brian and Brittney Kelley's surf shop Tribe Kelley, and enjoy great live music and fresh seafood delicacies at Grayton Beach's famous Red Bar. An endless list of activities are possible all within steps from this 30A vacation rental!

Patrick review of Kevin's Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house location could not be better; only steps from beach and Red Bar. But, for the 2nd year in a row, the mattress in the master bedroom is worn out and should be replaced immediately. It's quite uncomfortable and makes getting a good night's sleep difficult.

Reviewer Comments: We shared this house with another family and it was perfect. Location, parking and house is amazing. Clean, well appointed and the rental company was easy to deal with. Only downside is that you have to pick up keys down 30A a bit-- but otherwise perfect and responsive.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is lovely and the elevator is definitely a huge bonus! The beds were comfy and the kitchen appliances were top notch. The only negatives were the condition of the couches (little pieces of them flecked off constantly), the vacuum cleaner (I think it spit out more dirt than it picked up) and the shower in the master bedroom (the rain shower didn't work). All in all, it's a great place to spend a beach holiday.

Great house but housecleaners need more training!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hawk's Perch was a great house in an awesome location, but when we got there, the floors had not been swept or mopped! They were extremely dirty, with dried food on the kitchen floor and sand everywhere. I didn't really notice until I looked at my children's bare feet and saw that they were black. The management was very attentive though, and sent out another cleaning crew immediately. The 2nd crew confirmed what I saw and were actually embarrassed (and peeved) that the first crew did not do it (it was a Sat night). The other thing is it would have been nice if the mgmt company office was closer, but other than that, we loved the house, the view, the location, and the beach. We will definitely go again!

Great stay in Kevin's Heaven at Grayton Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my second time staying here. It was better than the first. They had a few more amenities this time and it was cleaner. It is an older rental but maintained well. Can't beat the location. The water is a 2 minute walk and the local restaurants are closer than that. We brought 2 bikes and 2 scooters. There were already 4 bikes/paddleboard/boogie board. Plenty of room for everything. Elevator is super helpful because my knees suck and I usually pack way too much. Big truck may not fit under the house but a small one and a car can. Also can fit a huge golf cart underneath. Just a great experience in a great town.
