Description

This hospitable Grayton Beach Vacation home's perfect placement provides direct views of Western Lake and the sparkling Gulf of Mexico. Up to 14 beach loving guests may reside on vacation in this lovely gracious home that features six bedrooms. The location on a gulf estuary of an exotic coastal dune lake provides panoramic views of natural serenity bordered by sugary dunes beside the beautiful beach. These treasured lakes are found in very few other places in the world and support a huge abundance of natural wildlife due to a mixture of the water's composition. A private dock on the property invites you to paddle around and fish for a while. Although you will feel like you are in a remote wonderful world of your own, this old Grayton Beach locale is just a short stroll away from galleries, restaurants, and favorite destinations like the lively Red Bar. However, you may find it hard to leave this heavenly place since the recently remodeled wraparound columned porches and decks overlook such an enchanting setting. A bubbling hot tub on one of them inspires relaxation while relishing the beauty around you.

Abaco was featured in Southern Living Magazine and is decorated in a casual yet sophisticated style that simultaneously dovetails comfort with elegance. It is also quite gracious for entertaining, which makes it the perfect choice for a fun family and friend beach reunion. The Great Room incorporates the living and dining portions of the house. These are open to well-equipped kitchen that features two large side by side refrigerators, two dishwashers, two ovens, and a five burner gas burner range. Nearby beside a bar with stools sits a large round dining table with eight sleek high backed cloth chairs beneath an elegant vintage chandelier. The Great Room has a wall of creamy white custom cabinetry and a Wet Bar with an ice maker. A wall of windows includes two sets of double glass doors that frame the sensational scenery and lead to the beach side porch. A Bose Surround Sound System accompanies a 50" flat screen TV  with built in Chromecast for added entertainment.

Each one of the bedrooms is individually decorated in their own style but share a devotion to comfort. They also all come with a private en suite bath. A colorful half bath serves as a convenient powder room off the living area. Two of the Guest Bedrooms are on the first floor, and one of them is great for kids with a queen sized bunk bed and individual TVs. All of the other Guest Bedrooms include king-sized beds and many of them also have double glass doors leading to a porch balcony. The spacious Master Bedroom also has a king sized bed along with a window wall, a breezy porch with stunning views, a sitting area and a luxury bath with double vanities, a dual head shower as well as a soaking tub.

This Grayton Beach location is in the heart of everything on South Walton's Scenic 30A with lots of great restaurants, friendly beach bars, galleries, specialty shops, seasonal festivals and other delightful diversions found in all the picture-perfect coastal villages nearby.

Great house!
We loved this home! The location is perfect for our family! It was great to be right on the water and the views are incredible! The house is set up very well with most of the rooms having comfortable king-size beds. This worked well with our family. Everyone was very happy!

Best House on the beach :)
This is our second time to stay at Abaco. We absolutely love it and it is perfect for our family. Having king beds in 5/6 of the bedrooms is the best. The bunks were perfect for our 2 grandsons. The location is amazing and the front porch makes it all worthwhile. Looking forward to many more stays in this house in the years to come.

First time to Grayton Beach... and we WILL be back!
First time to Grayton Beach, Abaco, and Ocean Reef vacations! It will not be our last!!!! The house was gorgeous and so relaxing and huge! The beach was sugary sugary sugary sand and the ocean was calm and Caribbean looking. The river was great for the kids and adults and the lake gave the fishermen in our crew a fun time! Ocean Reef Vacations has communications and managing expectations and responsiveness down to a fine art.

Grayt Stay!
We have been traveling to the area for more than 20 years. We always enjoy the beach in Grayton.Growing up the lake outflow was always the place where the kids couldn't wait to wade into. This year we had more family than normal so we rented Abaco and boy did we have a blast. The home is perfect, very well decorated and clean! It is in a perfect spot on the lake outflow and within walking distance to everything. We will be back and will from now on be staying at Abaco!

Amazing
We looooooooooooooved this property! If anything, the pictures do not clearly convey how beautiful it is and it’s proximity to the beach. For such a large and loved home, it was very clean and functional. We’ve rented so many places over the years, we know cleanliness can be a challenge sometimes, but it was great. We loved the few little blocks that make up Grayton beach and have already inquired about booking a return trip next year.

Best Location We've Ever Stayed In
Location, location, location. If you like being on the water, this is your place. Kayak or paddleboard to a number of fresh water lakes right from your own dock. Additionally, this place is on the beach over looking some of the best views I have ever seen. The kids had an absolute blast.

Unbeatable family time
My family and I traveled here for the holiday season and are thrilled to be coming back this summer. This house was beyond beautiful, inside and outside. The spacious decks offered the most wonderful views and we even got to use the hot tub on the back porch over looking the water. Additionally, there is nothing better than waking up in the morning to the sound of the water and the beach right outside your doors. My whole family fell in love with this property and we cannot wait to come back in August and every other summer for many years to come!
