Grayton Beach holiday cottage: Grayton Beach

Grayton Beach is an authentic, old beach town on the Gulf of Mexico with vintage cottages lining the quiet, narrow streets. The sugar-white sand and emerald-clear surf have earned it the honor of being named one of the world's most beautiful beaches.

This large Grayton Beach cottage is nestled under live oaks and magnolias on a huge lot less than three hundred yards to the beach. The front porch provides a beautiful lake view. Sleeping arrangements include a king-sized bed and single bed in a huge master suite. Two additional bedrooms have a queen-sized bed and a double bed. There is also a queen-size sleeper sofa in one of the two separate living areas.

Spartina Cottage is comfortable enough to put your feet up on the couch yet nice enough to invite guests over for a cup of gumbo and some boiled shrimp. Your location is two blocks from Red Bar restaurant, a coffee house, an oyster bar, unique shopping, and just two miles west of the renowned town of Seaside. It is located on a dead end street with room for family bike rides and a short distance from the 22-mile bike trail that runs the length of scenic road 30-A.

Spartina is a native, aquatic grass that grows along lakeshores. Turnday: Any. Amenities: Gulf-Access, Private Home, Grayton Beach (30-A), Sat-Sat Rental, Internet Access.
