Overall the property did exactly what we needed it to do. Some things to consider; the parking is very small and will not fully accommodate both lower and upper vehicles if they are large. The dryer takes forever to dry clothes. If you plan to cook the pots and pans are understandable very cheap but will get the job done. This place is all about location and does not offer many frills. Overall a high 3 stars and gave it a 4; but look around as something further from the coast may be a little more cozy.

Property was very nice and super close to the beach. Loved the big porch deck. Quiet and relaxing, which is what we wanted for this trip. Will defenitley go back to this property if available on my next trip to Grayton Beach.

The rental was clean and in a great location. Only a few steps to the beach boardwalk! The neighborhood was quiet and the heated pool was nice. Our only complaint was the mattresses. Two had old box springs that were uncomfortable and loud. Every time you rolled over you woke up. Also, the fold out couch was advertised as memory foam, it is NOT! It is an old dirty, thin mattress. Because of the poor sleep, we sadly won't rent here again.

Our family of 5 absolutely loved our stay on Grayton Beach. The check in/out process was super easy and the house was as advertised. Incredibly convenient location with access to pool across the street (we could watch our older kids swim from the balcony) and the beach was easy to access via the boardwalk. Restaurants and shops were easily walkable -- definitely recommend renting a golf cart or bicycles to make your way around. The floor did get quite sandy, but we just swept several times while were there. Would have been nice to have a king bed in the master, but not sure one would fit. No cookie sheet in the kitchen, would be an easy add. Other than those tweaks, loved our stay and will be returning to G Beach!

We really enjoyed our short get away to Grayton in Gulfstrand Up. The property owners were quick to answer any questions. The property is so close to the beach and situated such that we could walk to a variety of restaurants.

Great location just around the corner from the location for the wedding. Board walk the whole way.

We loved the fact that Grayton Beach was a small community. It was very peaceful and relaxing. It gives the impression of being on an island. The beach was fabulous, almost like a private setting. The fact that you could walk to the stores, restaurants and nightspots and feel safe in doing so spoke volumes. Please, never allow this area to get so commercialized that it takes away from any of these attributes.

I took a few nights to escape to the beach with 5 kids. The size of the rooms was good and location to the beach was perfect! We could easily walk back and forth and bike up to some good restaurants and for ice cream. The deck is nice and you can see the water from there. The pool was across the street, not large but it was warm and felt great after a long day at the beach. Parking was a little tight for a large vehicle, but all of the neighbors were very nice. Only down side was the run off in the water looks brown when the tide goes out, so we had to walk through brown water to get to the clean side in the afternoons. I would suggest some good floor mats at all the doors, so we don’t track as much sand inside. I swept and it’s good there is not much carpet but mats would help!

Nice to be in a home that represents Grayton, despite the fact that new monstrosity mansions block the view of the beach. Had some troubles with the rental and the company was not responsive. They had outdated WiFi and pool codes listed, which was a major overlook. Kitchen missing a few necessities and the fridge was fickle. Everything was fixed for the last day of our stay, but was disappointed in the service.

It was wonderful

Nice house with great access. Arranged on fairly short notice and it was extremely easy getting in/out. Thanks!

Had a great stay at gulfstrand up! It was clean and cozy! Such a quick walk to the beach and very easy access to the pool! Would stay again!

Gulfstand up was a perfect rental for my family. We stayed with my mother in law, a longtime friend, and my two teen daughters. The pool was across the street and the beach was walking distance.

We rented this property for a family vacation with our adult children and a grandbaby. Because of the stairway walls being dirty and handrail in disrepair, my first impression was not a good one. There is not a place in master bath to hang bath towels or put toiletries. The property floor plan suited us well with master bedroom being opposite other 2 bedrooms. We rented the downstairs unit as well for one of our sons and his wife and daughter. This was a convenient setup being in the same house, yet they had a separate area . The house is conveniently located near the pool and beautiful beach. The updated kitchen is very nice with fridge providing filtered water access and crushed ice. Our family enjoyed the house, overall.

We loved the location and porches- the view was amazing! The boardwalk is so close and convenient. The unit was well equipped and fit our family of 8 perfectly.

The house was perfect for a family - plenty of room to sleep comfortably. We had a great view of the pool which is where we spent most of our time. The beach wasn't too far of a walk but our children preferred the pool the whole time. The appliances were nice and updated, the beds were comfortable and cleaning was excellent. We had a quick walk to the Red Bar which was great so we didn't have to find parking. The ice cream truck came around each day around 11:30 am which was a nice treat after swimming all morning. Overall, the stay was wonderful. Nice and relaxing and everyone was so friendly!

Lots of space for our group of 8. We stayed in Gulfstrand Down in 2014 and the remodel is a great improvement. The new appliances were nice; lots of room in the fridge. The new tile throughout made it easy to clean up all the sand we tracked in. As always, the beach was awesome. Very close walk to the beach and a pool right across the street. Grayton Beach is a great community and I'd recommend it to anyone!

We just wrapped up a great stay at the Gulfstrand Up unit and it couldn't have been better! The unit was updated, fresh, clean and well taken care of. There was a community pool and we were just a short walk away to the beach boardwalk, the kids loved it. The property was a good fit for the group (two families of 4) and we would definitely recommend staying here!
