  We loved our stay at Gulf Winds-Down! The location was great. I was afraid we would be able to hear all the good times happening down the street, but didn't hear a thing. The home was decorated beautifully and the front porch was an added bonus we used each night. Everything was clean and well maintained. So very glad this home popped up on my search. And Grayt Coat Rentals was wonderful to book through.

  Jeff S from Lakeland, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Property is as advertised: clean, comfortable and well-appointed. It is on the best street in Grayton with easy beach access. Furniture and beds are cozy and comfortable, front porch has great seating and a big cushy porch swing. Everything is well-decorated and very clean. No issues at all - instructions were clear and reasonable. Great stay.

  Had a wonderful fall vacation with our son and family. Gulf Winds Down is such a beautiful place with everything you will need. Such a friendly community - loved the locals! Pool right across the street and short walk to the beach and bay.

  We recently stayed here, the house is gorgeous. It's a sweet cottage with a beautifully decorated beach feel. It's a great location, being right across from the pool and 3 doors down from the beach. Ted views were perfect and the feel was exactly what we were looking for. Can't wait to go back.

  This house was very, very clean. We spent a lot of time on that awesome porch. Three houses down was the ocean and a walkway to get to it. Just spectular. The beds were very comfortable. And you have everything you need in the kitchen if you wanted to cook. The management company responded quickly to all the questions I had. I would definitely be back again.

  Rhonda A from Alpharetta, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The house was clean but needs a little updating. One of the kitchen cabinet doors was coming off the hinge, shower curtains need replacing (mildew), some light bulbs were out that need replacing and the towels need refreshing. They were old, fraying and dingy.
  Positives: location to the beach, pool right across the street and easy short walk to restaurants and a few shops.

  The house was great and very close to the beach. We had a very relaxing vacation and would definitely stay here again. Parking could be a bit tricky at times but we managed just fine. Side note: Be sure to bring a sharp kitchen knife as the ones in the rental were quite dull.

  I love Grayton Beach and have been coming since 1995 - I love nature and this is the perfect place for a nature lover! I rented a bike and a kayak and never used my car once I unloaded all that I had packed. The condo was a perfect spot for me too - was clean and has a wonderful porch swing and is located right across from the community pool and only 4 homes down from the boardwalk and inlet lake. I already booked my return !

  Great cottage in a great town. The beautiful Gulf Beach is further enhanced by the intersecting stream from Western Lake. Boardwalk access is best way to reach the white sand beach. The Cottage Street pool is a fine back up to Gulf swimming.

  a guest from GAINESVILLE, Florida recommends this vacation rental

  The condo is great overall. The location was perfect.This was our first time and Grayton, but it won't be the last, we loved it. Everyone we dealt with was very nice. The condo was clean and you folks could put on a clinic about how to properly stock a nice condo. Our only complaint was the noise. You can hear the upstairs neighbors' every step if you are trying to sleep, and the construction a few houses down was extremely loud when they cranked up. Other than the noise, it was perfect.

  MORGAN S from Birmingham, AL recommends this vacation rental

  Loved Gulf Winds!!! We usually rent somewhere in Grayton and this was unanimously decided our favorite! Great location, comfy rooms/decor, across the street from the pool, probably 50 steps to sand and the clearest water!
  This is a great quiet street that once you park you can bike, walk, paddleboard, or run anywhere you want. I'm an avid tennis player and Seaside/watercolor courts have a daily first come, first serve clinic and round robin on the weekend. You really will fall in love with this rental and location. Kinda hate to share the news its such a hidden gem.
