SeaBatical borders the Grayton Beach State Park, named America’s #1 Beach in 2020 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach! “This beach boasts of its sugar-white sand and emerald green water where development has been restrained so big sand dunes still dominate the landscape. At the same time, all the amenities of great restaurants and accommodations are close by in the old town of Grayton Beach or Seaside," wrote Leatherman. Originally named the country’s top beach in 1994, Grayton Beach State Park has been listed four times since 1991, finishing 6th in 2016 and 3rd in 2019.
Â
Guests can enjoy strolling along sugar sand beaches on a 20-minute walk east to downtown Grayton and area icons Red Bar and The Zoo Gallery. Founded in the mid-1880’s, historic Grayton Beach is South Walton’s original beach community and has stayed true to its funky, eclectic vibe. Seaside is 2.5 miles East where you can enjoy delectable delights along Air Stream Row, sunset cocktails overlooking the beach at Bud & Alley’s, a free outdoor concert or movie at the Seaside Amphitheater and shopping to your heart’s content!

The was our 1st time to the 30A area and we absolutely loved it! Your location is perfect-quiet without too many homes right by you but still easy access to shops and things to do. We loved the character and coziness of your home too. We enjoyed relaxing at the house, playing cards, reading, going to the beach (not crowded at all!), getting ice cream and donuts at Blue Mountain Creamery, making meals together, and of course pool time! Our kids especially enjoyed seeing stingray and lots of fish at the beach. We saw ghost crabs after family pictures too. Thanks for helping up make some wonderful memories! We had a great week!

This is our 4th year coming to Grayton, but 1st time staying in your beautiful home! We had the best time making memories with our 3 kids (ages 7, 5, and 2) and we absolutely loved staying in your home! Some of our highlights from the week included lots of beach time and sunsets, napping, beach baseball, swimming in the pool, ice cream, board games, and hanging on the screened in porch! Thanks for sharing your house in paradise!

This is our second year at SeaBatical. The house is perfect for our families. We appreciate all of the kitchen supplies. The little table in the living area was perfect for chess. The short walk to the beach is perfect for everyone to come down on their own schedules. We rode bikes to Seaside, Santa Rosa, and even Alys Beach. Red Bar has the best food we have eaten in a long time. The grit cake is amazing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful beach house with us!

We enjoyed our vacation at the SeaBatical home! We loved the gorgeous beach, private neighborhood, breathtaking views from the multiple balconies, and most of all the memories that we made! We had a great time playing games at the large dining room table, searching for crabs at night on the beach, watching the sunrise from the upstairs balcony, seeing the marine life (dolphins, sharks, sea turtle), and riding bikes to the local ice cream shop and multiple restaurants. What's not to love about Grayton Beach?

Our stay at SeaBatical this past spring break was fantastic. The house was a fabulous mixture of comfort and pitch perfect beach decor. The kitchen was the BEST stocked we have ever encountered. As for views and location, SeaBatical cannot be beat - short, easy walk to beach (no stairs!!) and a small slice of quiet along the ever busier 30A. Cannot recommend this house highly enough!!!

We used to live in Santa Rosa Beach and love coming back to the area. This is the first time we stayed in Gulf Trace and we really enjoyed it! The house is fantastic-full of character, and we love the porches and pool. The beaches were of course the best part. We will surely come back!

Very large space with everything you need. We had seven and there was more than enough room for everyone to hang out and have privacy. Best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. Close to the beach, quiet neighborhood, too.

This was our third time staying in this neighborhood. We love how private the area is. Gorgeous hot weather all week. The view off the porch was our favorite thing about this home. A lot of Uno, family feud, and rummy was played on the porch. Great memories!

This was our first stay at SeaBatical. We have stayed on 30A since 2007. We moved to Grayton to escape the busier area close to Santa Rosa area. This felt like the "old" 30A. The beaches were not crowded. Not very much traffic in front of the neighborhood. We felt safe letting our kids walk back and forth from the beach to the pool. There were TONS of crabs on the beach every night, the kids loved catching them. The table was the perfect size for card night. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the beautiful view from the decks. We definitely hope to stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home!

This was our first time staying at the SeaBatical Home, and we loved it! From the beautiful morning view to our late evening sunset gazing, we have had a wonderful time here. Most of us have been to Grayton Beach before, but for some of us this is a first! We swam in the pool, found large seashells and sand dollars, created sand castles, and ate LOTS of amazing food! This will definitely be a trip to remember...we hope to see you again soon!

We love the SeaBatical home! Some of our favorite features were the location, the screened in porch, the outdoor grill, the amazing views from the balcony, and the pool. The beach is a super short walk from the front door. We used the grill nightly and took several dips in the pool. We also liked the bath and body works soaps (stress relief) as we use these at home. Having Netflix, Prime, and the various apps allowed us to have family movie nights. We had some minor inconveniences (ants and faucet issue in upstairs bathroom) but those issues were resolved quickly! Unfortunately due to pending Hurricane Ida, we are leaving 2 days early so we don't get caught on the drive back to Houston! Great house! Hate to leave!

Loved the screened-in porch. It is a lovely home. We loved the easy walk to the beach. We appreciate all the beautiful details in each room and the thoughtful extras-games, puzzles, books. The eucalyptus bath products were a favorite. It turned out to be the perfect spot for our family to get together.

We already knew about Gulf Trace as we rented a house there previously. The neighborhood is great. SeaBatical was ideal for us. We had, for part of the time, eight people staying there (all family) and everyone was very comfortable. The house has just about every convenience one could ask for, plus some. We had virtually no issues during our stay. The refrigerator made some odd noises at times, but it was not enough of a bother to contact anyone for assistance. We would not hesitate to stay in SeaBatical again if we return to the area.

Thank you so very much for creating such an amazing space to come to for quality fun and relaxation. Our kiddos absolutely love this place!
We loved our stay at SeaBatical. The beach is a very short walk and absolutely beautiful! The house is so comfortable with plenty of places to sit and relax. The view of the coastal lake behind the house was breathtaking at sunrise.
