We have stayed at Cole Bin several times. There has been a deep clean to the property that has made a world of a difference. Also, the new furniture has been a fabulous update. P30a properties is always a pleasure to work with. Cannot wait to come back and stay again.

Terrible Rental
The property was old and outdated and did not match the pictures. There were holes in the living room floor. The bathroom floor was soft and ready to collapse. The windows would not shut and lock. The sliding glass door would not shut all the way and the outside door handle was broken off. The porch light did not work. The grass was overgrown. The front gate boards were falling off. There was mold inside the air vents. There was a wall that was bold with a hole in it from a leak somewhere. There was rat feces everywhere on the floor and in the cabinets with the dishes. The back porch steps were ready to fall. The outdoor shower did not work and was full of mold. The back deck had old wood and moldy. The back deck chairs had holes in them, and we’re not. The wood furniture was old and not treated and had splinters. Three out of the five TVs did not work in the house.

Terrific location in downtown Grayton, short walk to one of the best beaches in America. Old time Grayton casual beach house. Generous supply of paper goods and trash bags provided. Property management was highly responsive.

Cole Bin Review
Loved this cottage! I’ve been coming to Grayton Beach every year since 1970 and this is the first time we’ve stayed here. Good location and we loved the big kitchen with an extra refrigerator! Perfect for beers etc. Nice big bathrooms too! And we really enjoyed the pool table. The tv’s were a little hard to figure out how to work- maybe some instructions would be nice. Kitchen could use more mixing bowls and definitely more silverware. Only issue we had was people parking in our allotted spaces in front of the cottage. I called the property manager and then a wrecker but the wrecker took too long both times. Suggest having cones available for renters to block off the parking spots. We will definitely be renting the Cole Bin again!!

Fantastically close to beach, restaurants, bars and everything Grayton Beach has to offer!
This is an older game that has definitely been loved. If you are looking for high end this is not it. If you are looking for a roomy home with room to spread out, and a pool table, 5 minutes from beach, Red Bar and other eats/drinks, look no further!

Above Average
Some of the residence has a "lip stick on a pig" feeling as if they cut corners when remodeling. The pictures online look great but a closer look shows a few problems. The bathrooms are poorly finished and we had two roaches welcome us upon entry into the shower. I would recommend having the gaps and holes properly filled in for both bathrooms and having pest spray available for guests if needed. I understand pests happen but the holes in the shower to celing could be fixed. Keeping a fan on property would also be a welcomed change as a few of our party were very hot at night even with the cooler weather outside. All in all the house was lovely and the location is wonderful.

Great Lication
There is a lot good about this house. The location is really great. Right near the beach as well as restaurants. The size if the house was great with three bedrooms and plenty of very comfortable beds. My sons and their friends used the pool table continuously. They all said. It it made the house great. The house does need to be upgraded. The oven door fell apart during our stay. The management company was very good about handling it. I would stay here again.

Disappointed
The location was perfect! The house was dirty and smelled like mold & mildew. The curtains and couches were stained, and the house needed some attention. By day three, we were all sick from the mold and mildew. Some of the cups were warped and one was cracked. There was only one pool stick with a tip. We always stay at Grayton Beach because we love the atmosphere and people, and we were extremely disappointed in the upkeep and cleanliness of Cole Bin especially for the price we paid to rent it for the week.

Excellent stay. Went to Coke Bin with my wife, 8 month old son, and in-laws. House is older but we’ll kept up overall. Location in Grayton is phenomenal. Only opportunity is that the bathrooms need a little updating. Back tub would not drain.

Perfect for what we needed
Overall stay was great. Check in and check out was easy. The past reviews are pretty accurate. The place is a bit run down but perfect for what we needed. Walking distance to the beach and the local shops and bar. Would def recommend - great little home for chill beach vacation. Floors are wonky, unlevel and did dip in a few places but for the price we got, I wasn’t bothered by it. The outdoor shower was great, except you did have to go through the house to use it. Kitchen had everything we needed, enough towels for everyone and the washer / dryer is def a nice perk. We had 5 adults and 5 toddlers (3 and under) and it went really smooth!

Pictures are not accurate
Property is in need of major work. Lots of soft spots in the floor that makes you feel as though you may step through the floor. Husband had to fix dryer vent several times while there as well as other lighting/fan issues. Couches and seating were pretty gross with stains all over them. The location is amazing but you should know the pictures are deceiving. Property needs some much needed tlc.

Great location, but declining overall
Cole Bin is in a great location in Grayton Beach and is the perfect size for our group. We have enjoyed staying at this property for many years. Unfortunately the property seems to be declining each time, while the rental price keeps increasing. There were 2 spots where the floors were sunken in, leading to tripping hazards. There were less kitchen utensils and supplies (such as mixing bowls and frying pans) than in years past. The back yard was cut in half by a newly built fence, making it impossible to walk around the house to rinse off with the shower in the back. Now you have to track sand through the house if you want to rinse off in the shower out back. The grass in the back yard was very overgrown, and the furniture on the back porch was unusable due to dry rot.

Great Location
The property is in a really excellent location. The exterior could use a bit of work. The back deck is in pretty bad shape and the back yard was pretty overgrown during our stay. If it were a huge deal I'm sure the property manager would've taken care of it for us. The house overall is really spacious and the pool table is a great feature. Furniture is all really comfortable and the air conditioning works great. There was a soft spot in the bathroom floor in the master bedroom/bathroom while we were there, but the property manager was very accommodating with options to fix the issue. Communication was easy and check in was painless.
