Grayt Expectations - Preserve at Grayton Beach, 30A, Hot Tub, Cmty Pool, Tennis!

Grayt Expectations -

Planning a beach vacation? It’s going to be great, especially if you book a stay along Scenic 30A. Nestled in the tranquil environment of the gated Preserve at Grayton Beach neighborhood, Grayt Expectations is a stunning vacation home that just might be the place for you. With pale blue exteriors, white trim, and multiple balconies, this home is the perfect place to enjoy the coastal surroundings. The interior features sunny accommodations and cozy sleeping quarters. There are five bedrooms and three and a half baths. The home can host up to 14 guests.

A picture-perfect southern front porch greets you upon arrival. From here, you and your guests can sip ice-cold drinks while enjoying each other’s company and cool breezes. Inside on the first floor, you will find the main great room, which encompasses the living, kitchen, and dining areas. Parchment-toned tile flows throughout the space, while large windows filter in lots of warm sunlight. The living room includes a wraparound couch and two accent chairs. The seating ensemble faces a flatscreen TV mounted above a two-toned entertainment cabinet. Nearby, a round table and six gray chairs sit beside multiple windows, creating a relaxing dining setting. The kitchen overlooks the dining area, and the raised breakfast bar provides additional stool seating. Sleek countertops, spacious cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances make it easy to serve up vacation meals no matter the time of day. You can also access a laidback porch from this main great room. It is furnished with white Adirondack chairs, outdoor tables, a BBQ grill, and a bubbling hot tub.

Bedrooms are located on all three levels of the home. The first floor’s guest bedroom has a queen-size bed, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, and patio access. On the second floor, you will find the primary suite and two guest bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom boasts a king-size bed, flatscreen TV, and access to a romantic balcony. Its luxurious ensuite bath features an angled counter with dual vanities, a huge walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub. One guest bedroom on this level has a queen-size bed and access to a private balcony, and the other has a queen-size bunk. Ascend the stairs to the third level, where the last guest bedroom features two twin beds and access to a covered balcony furnished with a raised table and chairs.

One of the best parts about this property is the secluded feel, yet close proximity to everything you need on a beach vacation. The Preserve at Grayton Beach neighborhood includes a community pool, clubhouse, and tennis courts. The beach is a 10-minute stroll from the house, but you don’t need to walk—the house has six complimentary bikes for your use! So, you can bike to the beach, shops, restaurants, nearby nature trails, and more. Additionally, be sure to check out Point Washington State Forest and Big Redfish Lake for stunning coastal scenery and outdoor activities. Situated just between Grayton Beach and the edge of Blue Mountain Beach, you also have your choice of tasty eateries nearby from Chiringo and Red Bar to Red Fish Taco and Blue Mountain Beach Creamery. Get ready for a grayt vacation!

Great for a family vacation

Check in and check out were easy. Appreciate the standard and reasonable rules from the property mgmt company. We had a group of 10 (3 families: 2 adults, 2 adults + 2 teens, 2 adults + 2 teens), and the house was the perfect size. Only negative: beach access was too far/difficult for the older adults to walk, so we drove to public access instead.

Oversold and underwhelmed

When we arrived, we were able to check in early which was great. The house was clean, and the bikes available were nice.That being said, the ceiling in the bunk room was literally falling. The dryer did not work, and we contacted the company every day for a fix and nothing ever happened. We had to hang dry clothes for 10 people which is obviously not ideal. We had to contact the company three times just for clean towels and wash rags.The walk to the beach was a hike and once you got down the longest boardwalk ever, you had to cross three feet of water (a huge ditch in the beach) just to get to the area that you’re allowed to sit in. Obviously this is a pain with chairs, beach bags and coolers. We ended up cutting our trip short by a day and just heading home.

Big house, good location

I love the neighborhood and it’s great to have five bedrooms. This house is right beside the tennis and pickleball courts. It’s just a few steps from the pool too! The hot tub is great and clean. In the listing, it said golf carts are not allowed in the neighborhood, but we saw many. The beach is a 10-15 minute walk. There are many kitchen supplies, but bring your own big skillet for sure. Also, the barbecue pit tank ran out of propane, and the management company refused to refill it. The beds are all very comfortable and the bathrooms are nice and clean. Enjoy!

An Awesome Family Trip!

This was a great house for my family. The space was enough to accommodate two boys, two girls, three couples, and one adult female. There’s a balcony off of every room. There is construction in the area, but you don’t even notice it. We rarely saw any other resort guests, and it was very quiet. There are bicycles at the house you can use to ride up to the corner and get ice cream and other goodies, and the beach is in that same area. However, that beach access has three sets of stairs, so if you have a wagon, there is a beach about 2 miles up the street that was perfect. As for the location—The location is an average distance from everything. We could not find the private beach access, but there is plenty of beach access in the area, and no beach was crowded. Parking to get to both beaches was surprisingly great, considering we went in the middle of summer. We will definitely be renting again. You cannot go wrong with this house. Enjoy your stay!!
