Perfect for Sunset walks to dinner!
Tucked in the middle of a State Park, this home offers the best of everything! The hosts provide a cozy, comfortable, clean home that is well appointed, with lots of space. The pool is beautiful, with plenty of seating, and is a short walk to the beach. I especially loved the proximity to wonderful restaurants and live music, that I could get to without having to drive. Waterside Wave is perfect for a girls' getaway, a family retreat, or new scenery for those who still need to work, but want to enjoy the beach life after hours!

Great place for the price
The house suites are needs perfectly. We have 5 children total and 6 adults. So the bedrooms are just right. The bunk room is small but the little ones sleep well in there. A request was made to replace the master toilet in the downstairs west bedroom and that was a wonderful surprise this year. There are enough places to sit and eat, beach access is easy and the pool is really loved by all of us. Not small like some places we've stayed. We had a few issues like the handle on the microwave broke, pool light was out and we had no internet so no tv for the kids. That was a bit inconvenient. The dvd player downstairs works but there is no remote so you can't use it for most of the kids dvds we had. They found one upstairs that worked. In the future a French door refrigerator would make more sense but all in all it's a great house for us. Management is the best answering inquiries in a timely basis. We will stay again.

Great Family Vacation
Truly enjoyed our stay at Waterside Wave, even though we had no internet the whole week. Unfortunately, as our family has grown, we need something a bit larger for next year, which you all don't have (I asked), so we had to reserve through a different channel.

Vacation in Paradise
Great property and house. 5th bedroom not actually a bedroom-bunk beds only, no window and no closet which was a little disappointing. Other than that a great house. Beautiful view of the ocean too!

Exactly What We Expected and Wanted
Our entire visit exceeded expectations. The walk was shorter than we thought to the beach, the house was clearly kept up - even the outside paint looked brand new. The kitchen had everything, the living room was comfortable, and there were even the fun gutter downspouts! All the details were taken care of so that we could focus on the reason for being at the beach. Thank you to the owners and managers of this place!!!

Better Than Average
What an awesome getaway we had for my friend's daughter's bachelorette party! The house was gorgeous with plenty of space for everyone, including a spacious kitchen and living room. Beautifully decorated. The deck overlooking the beach and that ocean view was phenomenal! The pool area was also great. It was super walkable both to the beach and restaurants and bars. I would absolutely come back and stay here again!

Great Beach View house
This is an extremely great house for our families needs. We have two kids 6 and 9, and 6 adults. NOTHING to complain about. Great pool, everything we needed inside and out, very short walk to the beach, nice quiet neighborhood. The steps up to the front door may be an issue for some with mobility issues. Upon arrival the door code we were given was wrong but quickly corrected by easily contacting rental company. Wonderful week!

Cleanliness less that expected
While the property was below average upon arrival as far as cleanliness, we did contact the property manager and received attention quickly. When we arrived there were chips on the rugs that had not been vacuumed efficiently as well as candy wrappers in the screen room and around the pool deck. The pool deck needed cleaning as well as the pool. The lawn service was still working at 4 and was not expecting us. He had to leave his job unfinished to move his truck so we could unload. Thanks to Christian and Isaac, the unit was vacuumed, trash emptied, pool deck and screen room picked up and swept. They also said they would tell maintenance that the pool and deck need cleaning. We appreciate their efforts and the operator I spoke with at the property management office. As a note of safety that needs attention, we had a 3 year old with us. Some of the railings on the front deck were loose. For safety we had to keep a chair in front of that area. This needs attention.

Had a great time
This house worked perfect for our family beach trip. There are 11 of us total so bedrooms were just perfect for all of us. Pool was large enough for all of us to be in with the 5 grandkids. The tv went out in one of the bedrooms and maintenance replaced it with a new one within a few hours. Very close to the beach as well. My only complaint was the toilet in the master bath on the main floor is very short. For the cost of a new toilet it seems that a taller one would be much more comfortable. Plus the seat is broken and though I told the office the first day we arrived, that seat was never replaced. That seems like not a big deal but for older folks it is. We will stay again but keeping my fingers crossed that toilet is replaced with a new taller one by next year. Coastal Dreamin' Team is great to work with as well.

Great location & stay!
We had a great experience at Waterside Wave. The location was amazing, we loved the private beach, quiet neighborhood, nearby things to do, and the closeness of beach access. It was a great stay overall & the minor suggestions we have did not affect our stay. We would suggest mentioning that the house is a duplex in the listing, it could change some peoples opinion on booking. Also, letting your guests know that 2 pack n plays are provided. We rented 2 & could have saved that money. Lastly, the cleanliness could use a little work. The dishwasher had food particles remaining when we arrived that we cleaned ourselves before using the dishwasher. And the kitchen floors had debri & spills on the floor upon arrival. Overall we loved our trip & were very happy with our stay!

Family oriented
The house was as listed. Location was great easy walk to the beach. Everything was cleaned and ready when we arrived. All emails I sent were answered promptly. The size was good for our family. My only complaint was the stove. It worked, but I feel that the heat levels printed on it in a sharpie marker, was not in keeping with the rest of the house. This house would not be a good fit for families who might have a family member that has mobility issues, lots of stairs and low toilets. It was perfect for myself, children and grandchildren. We had a great time sitting on the deck having coffee watching the waves. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful beach, comfortable house made for a great visit.

Amazing home, amazing location
Our family loved staying in this home. Woke up every morning and had coffee looking at the beautiful view of the ocean from our deck. We spent every day both on the beach and at the private pool. Beach access was just down the street and very easy to get to. Plenty of dishes and cookware for family dinners. We made great memories here!

Perfect Beach Vacation
Waterside Wave has all the important details covered! You can hear the ocean from the pool and deck and see the ocean from the deck. The house is very clean and comfortable. The recently renovated bathrooms are perfect for a large group of friends or family! I can't wait to go back and share this gem with more of my friends! This is my number one choice in Grayton Beach! Waterside Wave is a place where life long memories are created! Kudos to the owners for their close attention to detail!
