Gulf Breeze - Custom Home, Grayton Beach, 30A, Private Pool, Steps to the Beach!

We love this property but it is starting to show some wear and tear.

Overall our stay was a very good one. The house was ready on time and equipped as advertised. The location is great! Some things we discovered you need to know: Upon arrival inspection found an empty potato chip bag under the bed in second floor bedroom. The outlet underneath the island counter is missing a cover plate and screws - it’s the perfect height for a small child to grab and be shocked. The garage door needs to be adjusted. It bounces back open when attempting to close. There is mold growing in the cabinet above the microwave. The trash can holder bottom plate was off and the screws are stripped. Dining room fixture needs light bulbs. Thank you, Jesse Williamso

The house was in a great neighborhood, close to the beach. The house is in great shape and has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Check in was easy. The bedding and towels were first rate. We would definitely stay here again.

We love this property and have stayed there many times over the years. It does need some TLC.

My family of 12 (my parents in their 60’s, my husband and I, along with two of my siblings with their spouses and kids) stayed here for spring break and we really enjoyed ourselves! A few things I’d like to note that future renters might find helpful: -the two rooms listed as queen rooms are actually full beds. This was frustrating as they were uncomfortably small for two of the couples who were planning to have larger beds since that is what’s listed. -the pool is not heated -the grill is a charcoal -this property has both a Keurig and a full coffee maker! In addition to the misinformation on the bed sizes, we were also disappointed to find that the umbrella holes in the shallow end of the pool are unable to support an umbrella due to what appears to be broken umbrellas stuck in the holes. Which wouldn’t have been a huge deal, but having that option for our small kids is one of the reasons we booked this property. I’d also suggest a new patio table by the pool, the one that’s there is uneven and in bad shape. We had to keep propping a leg to keep it steady. But overall we really enjoyed our stay! Highlights: The location was perfect, and the walk to the beach is easy. Plus the beach was never crowded (and it was spring break!) I appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was with nice pots/pans and utensils. The bathrooms were all clean, large and modern! The bunk room was perfect for kids, and having access to the garage to store beach items was awesome!

Our family loved the quiet and privacy of Gulf Trace. We loved staying at the home we rented.

Amazing house with perfect pool. Spacious, beautiful and clean! Kitchen had all items needed. Private property and one min walking distance to the beach! The only downfall was i needed to buy extra trash bags, napkins, and toilet paper because we were a family of 12 and we stayed for 5 days. Overall, i recommend the house and we will definitely book again next year! Thank you

Overall, we had a great stay at Gulf Breeze. We did run into a few maintenance issues, but the folks at Ocean Reef were helpful and responsive. The kitchen was pretty well-stocked but could use some pot holders. The house is very spacious and well-designed for our needs. The kids loved the pool and found it to be a good size. The beach access is a short, convenient walk. Ample parking was available, but don't expect to be able to close the garage door with an SUV inside. Also I can't vouch for all the beds, but my husband and I slept on one of the queen-sized beds. It was not very comfortable and extremely noisy/squeaky, especially while getting into and out of the bed. The common area upstairs has nice blackout window treatments for the early morning sun. The upstairs bedrooms facing east would also benefit from similar shades as the existing blinds were not very effective in blocking the morning sunlight/heat. Another simple fix would be to give the front loading washing machine a good bleach cleaning to remove the built up gunk. Doormats inside the entrances (front door and sliding glass door) would help to keep sand from being tracked in, and the sofa covers are showing some wear and tear. All in all, it's a great house that we would book again.

A few minor quibbles: -garage code did not work. Keypad didn’t light when buttons pressed. Probably dead or no battery -several remotes were missing batteries -sound system downstairs was disconnected. Loose cables. We had a tech with us that was able to correct -we were advised that the grill at this unit was gas, but it was charcoal -popsicle stick was in the garbage disposal. -old bacon was in bottom of oven Otherwise, a great stay

We like this property for it's size and location and have stayed here before. This visit, we think the property could use some TLC - carpet and furniture is rather worn and it was not as clean as expected.
