Old Grayton Presence in Quaint Cottage

We loved the cottage as it retained the historic feel of Grayton as an old time beach town. The beautiful back yard and screen porch in front offered relaxing places to hang out, read and enjoy nature. The cottage was tastefully decorated and clean with all the necessary amenities, comfortable beds, good showers inside and outside. Our host, Jim, is a prince and very responsive. Being a short walk to the Red Bar is a real plus too! I've driven many miles to go to that restaurant. All in all, a great stay at Grayton!

We loved everything about our stay.... the host was above and beyond with communication and care. The property location was ideal.... zero issues, perfect stay. Would not have changed a thing. THANKS

Only 3 houses to corner (where Red Bar is located) and only maybe 20 yards further to beach access. GREAT LOCATION! Kitchen had everything we needed to get by. I knew Jim was only a phone call away, if we needed anything. Great Owner!!! 2 beds in each of the adjourning bedrooms & were very comfortable. We didn’t spend much time on the back porch. Just preferred the front screened in porch. Spent every evening out there. Great spot to enjoy a drink and people watch. Inside was very quiet other than window air conditioners (very cool inside!)…which was like white noise. Great for sleeping. Couldn’t hear outside noise/music from down the street while in house. (Which wraps up early. No late night noise.) Easy parking in front of house. No problem with bugs of any kind. Ample water pressure & hot water supply. 2nd bathroom off kitchen wasn’t ideal but wasn’t a problem either. If you’re at beach w/ someone you’re probably close enough to walk through kitchen in a towel. Lol Coffee early on the beach was best part of day. (Drip pot. Filters provided.) Very few people out there around 6:30-7:00. Set your chairs early (by 8:00) to get a good water front spot. Good chance of seeing the dolphins go by. Go to The Red Bar and order the Salmon! OMG!!! So amazing we went twice and ordered the Salmon both times! Worth every penny!

Jim was easy to communicate with and quick to solve problems. I think it should be mentioned the street that Grayton Presence is on is incredibly busy, especially in the evenings. The location was nice besides the constant traffic. Didn’t love that the house only has window AC units.. bathrooms are hot and muggy. The screened in porch could use some love. We had a fun week but probably won’t return to this house again.
