Our cottage is a short 5-7minute bike ride or trolley ride(in season) to Grayton’s public beaches. It’s in a quaint, quiet neighborhood with adorable homes, right by the Shops at Grayton Beach, across from the state park and trails. Across the street from our Grayton Cove neighborhood, there is a safe, dedicated bike trail that will take you directly to the beach and also a beach trolley stop in summer season. Take one of our six local brand Yolo beach cruisers, stop at the famous Red Bar and grab a bite to eat or a margarita, en route to one of the most beautiful beaches in all the world.
ACCLAIM - BEST BEACHES, STATE PARK

Hop on one of the 6 Yolo Beach cruisers provided for our guests and park right on the beach. Grab a trolly ride a block from the house to the beach or walk across the street and hike through state forest and Grayton Beach State Park along the edge of Western Lake to the oceans edge. Paddle board or kayak in the calm clear waters of the lake where it leads out to the open waters. Even on days where seas are rough, enjoy watching your kids swim in the adjacent calm waters of a rare coastal dune lake- the perfect beach for all ages. After a good day at the beach, enjoy dinner at Hurricane Oyster Bar or many other great local restaurants within easy walking distance of the house. Grab breakfast or an evening aperitif and live music at Black Bear Bakery. Many, many great spots to eat and drink in Grayton- no chains or big box stores. The 30A trolley, with a stop in Grayton, will take you up and down the beautiful Florida 30A coast, so you can easily enjoy some of the other quaint coastal communities for dining, shopping or beach-going.

Lovely stay in 30A
We spent a few days mid October and this lovely home. It was conveniently located just down the block from the Grayton Beach shuttle, which was great when wanting to go to the beach. The house was comfortable and as pictured. There was some construction to a neighboring property while we were there that started early and was loud, but nothing that the property owners could predict or avoid. We definitely enjoyed our stay and early October was a beautiful time to be there!!

Above and Beyond!
We had a wonderful stay at Sand Reef Cottage. The home was beautiful and very clean. The owners were awesome at communicating in a timely manner and went above and beyond to help us with any issues that came up. We requested a special item and they were happy to assist! We were also pleasantly surprised at how well stocked this condo was! There was an ample start up supply of paper goods, dish soap and trash bags! The bathrooms were equipped with enough shampoo, conditioner and body wash

Grayt Thanksgiving !
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was extremely roomy and well equipped. Kitchen very functional. Fireplace was awesome as we had some chilly nights. We enjoyed all of the amenities especially having bikes. We used them everyday. Property owners were responsive and everything was clean and exceeded our needs. Location across 30A was no issue. Shuttle to beach was easy and frequent. Easy walk to Hurricanes etc. Grayt place that we would rent again.

Perfectly Nestled
This home was perfect for our family of 5 and a friend, nestled in a cute neighborhood of tightly nestled homes. Pool extremely close and easily accessible. The home was equipped to make a beach trip easy and enjoyable. The addition of the beach chairs, towels, bicycles, and pull behind cart (that we used to tote beach chairs) made the back and forth to the beach easy and fun. The kitchen was well-supplied and the grill was clean and convenient to use! We enjoyed being able to eat in when we wanted and being within a short distance of lots of great local restaurants. Tiny issues that were not difficult to overcome included stovetop and oven settings were not visible making temperature control while cooking a manageable adventure, a bicycle with a chain that popped off 3-4 times requiring unexpected roadside fixing a few times, and a mildly touchy front door lock. The owners were prompt and courteous in responding when we needed! We thank you for that. Would recommend you follow their advice and use the bicycle locks at the public beach bicycle racks. We did not and one of the bikes was stolen while we were at the beach. It might feel like a hassle, but will save you the loss of a ride back home and replacement costs. Overall: perfect for us!

Great Property, Thoughtful Hosts
The house is set in a community or part- and full-time residents. The area is far enough from the beach to avoid traffic but close enough to bike there. The house itself solis and beautifully decorated. Two things that really set it apart. 1) everything you could possibly think you need for a good time is already provided, even records, beach stuff and board games. 2) the hosts are super responsive and thoughtful. I’ve already recommend this house to multiple friends and colleagues.

Cannot wait to come back!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and this location! We traveled with our four kiddos ranging in age from 7-14. My teenage boy said, and I quote, "This has been our best vacation yet." Which is a considerable accolade coming from a teenage boy! The property is open, airy, and so tastefully decorated. Britt and Alex provide everything you could need to make your vacation enjoyable. The community is friendly, and the pool, which is small compared to some communities, is well cared for, heated, and always empty, so it is like having a private pool to enjoy. The shuttles to Grayton Beach are on the same road as the community. TBH, we did not use them because it's a short drive to Grayton Beach State Park, where the beaches are open and, in my opinion, more enjoyable because you can spread out without it feeling too crowded. Britt and Alex, your property is beautiful; you were such wonderful and communicative hosts. We hope we can book this property for our next trip down. Thank you for hosting us!

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed this trip and this beautiful home! The description was inadequate. It was so much more. Even the neighbors, who are local residents, were wonderful and hospitable. I am not certain I’ve ever had such prompt and thorough communication with a host. Would ONE MILLION PERCENT book this house and with these hosts again! Thanks y’all for allowing us to rent your beautiful home! Hope to stay again in the future!!

Much needed vacation
We have never felt more relaxed and at home as this place. Great location, peaceful and not far at all from Seaside. Rented a golf cart from local company and it was perfect for getting us to the beach and seaside. I would highly recommend this rental. Thank you so much Britt and Alex for the perfect home away from home.
