Backyard Bliss - Heated Private Pool, Hot Tub, Bike to Shops, Beach and Dining!

Backyard Bliss -

Enjoy a vacation in paradise while staying in a private, beach cottage with that home-away-from-home feel. Backyard Bliss is a one-story beach house in South Walton’s Grayton Beach. Tucked among palms and other indigenous flora, this home is the perfect oasis for a much-needed getaway. With a fenced-in backyard, a 25'x12' complimentary heated private pool, and hot tub, guests will love the quiet privacy, as well as its close proximity to the beach and activities on Scenic Highway 30A. The home has three bedrooms, two baths, and restful living space. It can host up to eight vacationers.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a charming covered porch, complete with white rocking chairs. Spend some time out here sipping lemonade or another refreshing beverage, while enjoying the coastal weather and conversation with your fellow vacationers. Inside, an open floor plan encompasses the living, kitchen, and dining areas. Dark, hardwood floors contrast beautifully with white walls and lightly toned furnishings. The living room includes a plush white couch, pale-gray accent chairs, and a wall-mounted TV above a beach-washed credenza. Adjacent the living area is the dining room, which has a chic white dining table surrounded by six chairs. The open kitchen overlooks the dining and living areas. It features granite countertops, white cabinetry with spacious storage, stainless-steel appliances, and a convenient kitchen bar.

The master suite has a king-size bed with tufted headboard, dark accent furnishings, a sunny window, wall-mounted TV, and a private bath with glass-walled shower. One of the guest bedrooms includes a queen-size bed and a TV. The other features a twin over full-size bunk bed with a twin trundle and a TV. The guest bedrooms share a full hall bath.

In addition to the comfortable living and sleeping accommodations, this beach home has something else going for it—the private backyard and pool! The rectangular pool is bordered by a tiled sun patio and plenty of lounge seating and umbrellas. A gas grill makes it easy to cook up a delicious poolside meal for you and your guests. Flower beds and palmettos add to the relaxed, paradise ambiance. Backyard Bliss also includes four complimentary bikes when you're ready to hit the beach or explore 30A. In addition to bikes, a free seasonal shuttle is very nearby that will take you to the beach, Seaside, and other cool coastal 30A towns.

Another benefit of booking a stay at this cozy home is its convenient location. Vacationers will find themselves almost right next door to the Shops of Grayton, which feature popular places like the Modus Photography gallery and Hurricane Oyster Bar and Grill. The historic village center of Grayton Beach is only a few minutes away, and here you will find the eclectic Zoo Gallery, the lively Red Bar, and more. The pristine beach is also at your fingertips, making it easy to spend as much time as possible lounging under the sun and floating in emerald-green waves. If you want to explore a little further, be sure to check out the other quaint beach villages along Scenic Highway 30A.

Wonderful beach house

This house was adorable! The location was quiet, safe and convenient to beach, shops and restaurants. The backyard and pool were beautiful and we loved it for the non-beach days. Property was very clean and comfortable. We will be back!! Bikes were also a great addition!

Perfect property for one family

Have stayed in several Grayton Beach properties over the years and have to say that we really love this property when visiting with our family of 4 (two teen boys). It is a perfectly sized home for our family, not so large (or as expensive) as the multi level rental homes in the area - just the right amount of space and a terrific pool / hot tub in a very private and quiet backyard. Very clean, thoughtfully set up and organized for vacation rentals.

Great stay!

Really cool place! Looking forward to coming back. Only complaint is that it is kind of difficult to find at first as it is accessed through a parking lot.

30A Songwriter Music Fest

This turned out to be a great location for us. We were in the area for the 30A Songwriter Music Fest and this was a nice location for getting out to the different venues. It also served as a comfortable retreat during the rest of our stay. We enjoyed a short walk to a local bakery for coffee and breakfast.

Our favorite place

This was our second time staying at this property. We love it here! The location is great! We love how private it feels but also so close to everything! The house itself is decorated so beautiful. There was new lawn furniture in the backyard since we visited last time which was very nice! The private pool and hot tub is a plus! This is by far our favorite home away from home! We plan to visit often!

Great location

We love this location in Grayton. Tucked away yet easy access to the beach. So close to the shuttle if needed, but we preferred to bike or walk. The backyard pool is awesome. Plenty of seating. We loved grilling the fish we caught on a deep sea fishing trip to enjoy with our friends that were also in town. I definitely recommend.

Beautiful Vacation Home

This property was amazing. It's located in a quiet cul-du-sac tucked away, yet it was close to the beach, restaurants and our favorite little coffee shop just up the road. The house was beautiful and very clean. The private pool is perfect - clean and peaceful and having the heater on made all the difference. This property is perfectly appointed and everything is in great shape. We felt safe and relaxed at this property - would highly recommend!

Beautiful Home

This is a very nice home with a beautiful pool & hot tub. The location of this home is perfect and close to the ocean. The free shuttle to Grayton Beach is right by the home and so nice & convenient to take. We took it several times. This home is in the 30A district which is so beautiful and a great area to stay in. We definitely will be back. Thank you Backyard Bliss!!

The most beautiful VRBO we’ve ever stayed in!

Cannot emphasize enough how beautifully decorated this little house is. It lives up to ALL the pics plus more! It was the perfect size for our family of four with two teens. We loved the outdoor area too. Felt like we were at our own private resort! The landscaping was beautiful and the pool and spa were perfection. The beds were super comfortable as well. I wish it was just a couple blocks closer to the beach but it is still just a bicycle ride away and we knew that going in to it. But it’s worth it bc the property is absolutely gorgeous. Loved all the big and little details!

Little slice of heaven

This property is great! Our family stayed here for winter break and loved it. It is tucked away a bit which is nice and quiet but still close to beach, shops and restaurants. Lots of bike lanes and trails. Grayton beach was clean and beautiful. Grocery store is a quick drive. Lack of light pollution means you can stargaze from the hot tub. Only improvements I could think of would be a heated pool and bicycles to borrow. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone that is looking for a nice low key getaway.
