Description

This custom-built vacation home features five bedrooms and comfortably accommodates up to 14 fortunate guests. This Grayton Beach location is nestled off South Walton's Scenic 30A in the residential community of Gulf Trace. Completed in July of 2014 and professionally decorated, it's comfortably furnished and appointed with an abundance of amenities. Gulf Breeze at Gulf Trace provides guests with the luxuries of home while residing here on a vacation stay at the beach. It has a coastal look of casual elegance and ample room for multiple family members or friends with two separate living areas.

This hospitable home is situated just steps away from the sugary shore and emerald-hued waters of the glowing gulf. A rare coastal dune lake is right down the beach. This additional body of water is scarce and found in only a few other places in the world. This lake has a magical composition created when the dunes periodically open a freshwater estuary connection to the Gulf's salt water. Besides splashing around in the surf, you may want to catch some fish or go paddle boarding on this serene lake. You also have the option of taking a refreshing pool plunge right out back. This gracious home has its own 38' x 16' private saltwater swimming pool. It features colorful LED lights for a magical evening effect and an expansive patio studded with tropical palms that's perfect for lounging around and having fun.   

The open living and dining area has a triple panel of windows that look out onto the pool with a glass door for easy access. A white wrap-around couch faces these views, along with a large TV for entertainment. A rectangular hardwood dining table with eight high-backed straw woven chairs has a tropical look and inspires family feasts. The open kitchen has everything you need to make this happen. It also has a granite-topped bar with saddle-topped stools where drinks and appetizers may be served.

 The first floor showcases a Master Bedroom with a king-sized bed beside windows that look out upon the pool patio. A private en-suite bath includes a glass-walled walk-in shower. A half bathroom off the hallway serves as a convenient powder room. The cottage-styled Guest Quarters are upstairs with access to a large nautically attired den with a queen-sized sleeper sofa, a big TV, a Wet Bar with a wine cooler, and glass doors leading to a furnished covered balcony overlooking the pool. One Guest Bedroom has a king-sized bed and en-suite bath. Two full hall baths serve the other Guest Rooms with queen beds in two and double twin bunks in the other.

This home in Gulf Trace is in a seemingly remote world of its own but minutes away from excellent restaurants, friendly beach bars, and specialty shops in nearby "downtown" Grayton Beach and Seaside.

First Floor: Living Room with Patio Access, Dining, Kitchen, King Bedroom with Walk-In Shower and Patio Access, Powder Room, Laundry.

Home was as beautiful as advertised
Beautiful, spacious home in a secluded beach neighborhood. It was peaceful and relaxing. Plenty of space to spread out and it was a right next to the beach access. Would 100% return

We rented Gulf Breeze for our family for a week
Communication from Ocean Reef was excellent. The house was perfect for us, with its own pool and very close to the ocean. We liked the gate at the entrance, which limits traffic, as the grandkids were going back and forth to the beach
Lisa H from Germantown, OH - Stayed April 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review of Gulf Breeze! We’re so glad the home was a perfect fit for your family and that the private pool, close beach access, and gated entrance helped make your stay relaxing and enjoyable for everyone, including the grandkids. Ocean Reef Resorts truly appreciates your kind words about our communication, and we would love to welcome your family back to the beach again soon!

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

Wonderful family vacation!!!
My family thoroughly enjoyed Gulf Breeze! The kitchen was very well-stocked, the home was very spacious and tastefully designed. The walk to the beach was very short and convenient. Overall we had no complaints and Ocean Reef was very responsive every time that we needed anything or had a question, we'll definitely be back again in the future!

Could you tell me where the beach access is located in relation to this house?
Angie E - Posted: 03/14/2022

Answer:

The beachfront neighborhood of Gulf Trace includes two beach access points for owner and guest use. The one closest to Gulf Breeze is located at the end of Gulf Breeze Dr, less than a two-minute walk away. The other is located to the east along Gulf Shore Dr. 

Is beach service included?
Nicole M - Posted: 06/21/2022

Answer:

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not provided complimentary, but are most certainly available for rent. Once you have secured your reservation, we will provide you with the beach services contact information. You can reserve chairs and umbrellas over the phone, or directly on the sand. See you soon!

Can this pool be heated?
Jennifer J - Posted: 06/28/2022

Gulf Breeze is a beautiful five-bedroom vacation home in Gulf Trace of Grayton Beach. It includes a refreshing private pool, but it cannot be heated.

Are there any items at the house for toddlers, crib, porta crib, high chair, booster seat?
Maryann N - Posted: 10/29/2022

Is a dog allowed?
Cory B - Posted: 12/04/2023

Answer:

We love our dogs here at Ocean Reef, however - Gulf Breeze is not a pet-friendly property. If you are unable to board your pup, you may want to consider one of these Pet Friendly Rentals.
