Sam's Place West - Gulf Views in Grayton Beach - Walk to Redbar

Welcome to this beautiful vacation duplex with two bedrooms, perfect for up to six beachgoers seeking a delightful retreat. Situated adjacent to Grayton Beach Duplex East, which also accommodates six guests, this duplex is ideal for separate families or friends who desire a beach reunion while enjoying separate living spaces. Located in the charming village center of Grayton Beach, you'll find yourself within walking distance of a unique gallery and two exquisite restaurants with lively bars. The property is conveniently close to Western Lake's stunning beach and shores.

This comfortable duplex directly faces the gulf, with only a pristine sandy lane separating you from the sparkling, jewel-toned waters just 0.1 miles away.

Adjacent to Grayton Beach State Park, renowned by Forbes Magazine as one of the most breathtaking beaches in America, you can revel in the shimmering shoreline and emerald waters of the Gulf. At the other end of the village, a small village dock provides a captivating view of Western Lake. This rare coastal dune lake is a natural wonder found only in select locations worldwide. The enchanting composition of freshwater merging with saltwater creates a magical setting, supporting diverse wildlife. In addition to beach lounging and surf splashing, you can try your hand at fishing or explore the picturesque lake by paddleboarding. If you're interested in reserving a fishing charter at Grayton Beach, you're in for a treat because the homeowner resides on-site, offering daily charters all year long. We also have Captain Jimbo with Fish on Charters - Grayton Beach that can guide you to your fishing destination! Feel free to inquire about rates, and we'll gladly connect you with Grayton's renowned Captains, who are eager to accompany you on an unforgettable fishing experience.

Upon ascending the steps to the covered deck of Grayton Beach Duplex West, you'll be treated to panoramic gulf views while relaxing in the provided chairs. A triple set of windows brighten the open living area, offering glimpses of the glistening waters. The upscale coastal décor includes a cream-colored couch and a love seat facing a TV atop a white glass front credenza. Adjacent to this cozy space, a gray table with four charming country chairs awaits convivial dining. Ornamental art featuring pastel paintings of shells and sea life adds to the delightful ambiance. Enjoy your favorite drinks at the three saddle-topped stools next to the mottled granite-topped bar. The kitchen is light and airy, with ample white cabinetry to store your delectable treats.

A hallway leads to the Master Bedroom and Guest Room, both sharing a fully connected bath. The Master Bedroom boasts a king-sized bed adorned with an enchanting coral wall hanging, while the serene and sunny Guest Bedroom features two queen-sized beds.

Just a short stroll away, Grayton Beach's village center offers a lively gallery showcasing vibrant decorative pieces from talented artisans nationwide. For delectable Spanish-style tapas and drinks, visit Chiringo, or head to the famous Red Bar in South Walton, known for its excellent dining, drinks, and live music, where you might even spot a celebrity. In close proximity, you'll find picturesque coastal villages and Scenic 30A, providing an abundance of options for dining, beachside bars, specialty shops, concerts, and seasonal festivals, ensuring endless enjoyment throughout your stay.

Do NOT stay here.
It was the worst 12 hours of our life. Black mold on every vent, terrible musty smell, stained sheets and Rats!! I have pictures of all of it and have sent them over to the management company and VRBO. We vacated the property within 12 hours of arriving. They have still have not refunded our money even though we didn’t stay there. We were there on 8/29/24. We were booked for 5 days and paid in advance per VRBO. They scrubbed the black mold off the vents within hours of us vacating the property. The reason we know this is that my husband left something in the property since we packed up so fast after the rat ran across the couch. When we went back by that evening to get what my husband left, the cleaning crew was there scrubbing the vents. The whole situation was terrible for our family. Never once did the management company help us find another place to stay and they still haven’t refunded our money. We have given them 2 weeks. When they called last week they said they would give us a credit for a future stay, and the reason was because we didn’t give them an opportunity to remove the pest and stay the rest of the time. Are you kidding?? Do not stay here.

Great beach house to enjoy the beach
The property was clean and neat as shown in photos. There were no exquisite furnishings or features, just what you need to have a comfortable stay. This is perfect for a house as close to the beach as it is. I would certainly stay there again.

Amazing location and accurate description
Our trip was a mother/daughter trip (older girls) and the rental was a perfect fit for us. The Beach is incredibly close. You can park and not get into your vehicle the entire week. Next door to Chiringo and Red Bar and tons more Restaurants and shopping are a short tram ride away. The tram picks up in front of the rental. The beds are comfortable and everything was clean and exactly as described. One note: The appliances are very old and loud (dishwasher) and the washing machine must has mold in it because everything stinks if you use it. But it is a great little rental that we enjoy very much.

Great location!
We enjoyed our stay at Sam’s Place West. The location is fantastic! We could walk to the beach and to local restaurants and general store. The unit was comfortable and quiet. The kitchen is small, but fit our needs just fine. (3 ladies on a girls trip) The drawbacks were: 6pm check in time, shared porch with older furniture that did not afford a view when seated. Another oddity is that the owner Sam seems to be on site most of the time (does he live there?) and one night his friend and young son were hanging out. This gave an odd feeling when you are descending the stairs to go out and encounter a stranger in your space. Otherwise, we had a great trip.

I have thought long and hard about this property so I’m going to give the good and the bad. Good Location is great Management group was the best ever The owner very good and addressed anything we needed done Close to the beach Very close to bars and restaurants Bad Wasn’t very clean. They came in and cleaned a couch and helped get the musty smell out. We also bought cleaning supplies to deep clean it. Need all new furniture most of it was broken Should be updated paint colors fixtures etc Should be cleaned up outside. When we left we had the place spotless After all this would I stay there again, probably. We aren’t snobs and I don’t normally post this stuff but for the price it should be better kept. Lastly the place is set up for a family with 2 kids not really two couples. Just not enough bathroom space.

Great location! It was nice, but a little dirty and run down for the price and strict rules. It needs a better shower curtain, wouldn’t stay where it was supposed and didn’t fit so it made a mess. Not enough washcloths and there was trash in the laundry room. There was an awkward hanging rack in the bedroom that shouldn’t have been there.
