Great Visit!
We had a fabulous time in Grayton -- the house was fantastic and the owner could not be nicer or more communicative. She ordered a new high chair before we arrived and let us know of all the closest playgrounds. Kids had a great time in the pool and loved walking to the Red Bar.

Grayton Beach House
The house was very nice and clean. It was a short walk to the beach and had parking for three vehicles. Every family group had their own floor. Amazing layout for a large family. The host, Nancy, was very accommodating and friendly to work with.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful week. The house was very walkable to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked. Great pool, lots of floats and beach towels. Third floor bedroom had a window unit that made noise dripping on the outside.
