Best place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Moon Baby was the perfect rental and you can't beat staying in Grayton. Walking distance to the beach and the red bar. The perfect screened in porch and fenced in yard for dogs. It was so nice to arrive and have trash bags, dishwasher pods, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc... it truly felt like a home away from home! We will be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: AFter coming to Grayton Beach for nearly 9 years now we have walked by moon baby several times. After finally scoring a long weekend at this amazing property, I can tell you that we will be back very soon.I took many naps on the screened in porch, enjoyed all of the local art pieces hanging in the house, and reading some of the local journals. This house is perfect for a couple or a couple with small children. The Space is a perfect layout, and the coziest beach cottage feeling you could ever imagine. Even though the house is dated, everything is in immaculate condition. The cleanliness of this house was outstanding. As previously stated, the screened in porch , painted the perfect picture for afternoon snuggles with my fur babies and multiple naps during my stay. The charm and nostalgia of cottage made me feel like I have been coming down here my entire life and I’ve never felt more at home.

The perfect slice of what Grayton Beach used to be

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family has stayed at Moonbaby before and every time we enter the doors we are greeted with the familiarity of what Grayton Beach used to be. We absolutely love this little cottage and say that with every visit. The home is nestled in a great location with the beach, lake and Red Bar all within just a few minutes of walking distance. This is the best little cottage and we hope to return for many years to come.

Perfect stay for a small group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Moon Baby is a wonderful house with a dated charm. The screened porch is a notable feature. Large with plenty of seating, it is a great lounge area and a perfect spot for your crates if traveling with your dogs. Everything was comfortable and in good working order. It was cleaned to perfection on our arrival. There is a good parking space large enough for a big pickup or SUV. A super shirt walk to all the Grayton Beach highlights.

Moonbaby is Perfect us in 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our recent and second stay at Moonbaby. The cute little house has virtually everything we need. Comfortable beds, sheets and towels and a well stocked kitchen. We love the side porch and fenced yard. Our dogs like it too and are happy to travel with us. We all like the close access to the lake for kayaking and dog swimming. The beach is just steps away. Grayton Beach is a fun town with the Red Bar and Chiringo’s plus cute shops. The 30A bike path makes it easy to get to everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Moonbaby.

Surf Hut Charm

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teens, and a Boxer) loved hanging out on the porch, walking to the beach, and riding bikes when we stayed at Moon Baby on Spring Break. It won't be a fit if you are looking for a modern, trendy beach house, but if you want a cool, laid back vibe with old school, surf hut charm, Moon Baby will be a perfect fit for you like it was for us. We'd definitely stay here again.

Blitzen loved laying on the deck in the February sunshine and coolong it on the sceened porch. Moon Baby is an authentic old Florida cottage with lots of space. It is comfortable and provides everything one would need for a time away from Northern cold in February. Loved the sunrises over the dune lake and sunset over the gulf.

Great cottage

Some places are greater than the sum of their parts. This one feels like someone’s treasured home. Comfortable chairs and bed. Original thoughtful art. All the things you need without the gimmicks that don’t really work. A fenced yard that you can let your dog out in. There may be newer, more modern places but this is one of my favorites!

Perfect for Us!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Moonbaby was perfect for our family of three and our two pups. The location is great - close to the fishing pier and boat ramp and the beach. We liked the gear credit too! That's a great perk. The house had almost everything we needed. We noticed a few items that needed tending to and they were fixed immediately. If you don't tell the property manager when something needs to be done, they can't fix it. The house was very clean. We love the screened in porch and that's where we spent the majority of our time. The breeze, fans and the shade kept it quite comfortable. We liked it so much, we are returning next year! It's hard to find small houses nowadays so we really appreciate this offering. We also love the Grayton Beach vibe.

Quiet getaway

We have been visiting Grayton Beach for 15 years but this is our first time staying at Moon Baby. The house was spacious and stocked with a lot of cookware and extras like games, books and beach stuff that we haven't seen in other rentals. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning. The mosquitos were pretty bad since there is a lot of shade and you are close to the lake. Make sure you bring spray or some candles. The screen door has a slight crack so they were able to get in to the covered porch. The house is cooled with two window units: one in the main living area and one in the master bedroom. The second bedroom is smaller and did not have AC, only a ceiling fan. There are two plug in, oscillating fans that were provided that we used to help keep that room cool.

With views of the inlet lake, live oaks all around and old-school charm this little original bungalow does the trick. All the modern conveniences with original Grayton character and about a block to the beach. Was perfect for our week of relaxation!
