House was dirty
This house was not clean at all and definitely was difficult to stay in. It was our entire family and we were all very very disappointed considering the amount of money we paid to stay for the week. We have never had this problem with any other house we've rented in The Destin area. The elevator was not working when we arrived. Two of the beds were broken when we arrived and two guys came and set them on the floor for the night until they could be repaired. The duvet covers were not clean. It appeared like there was snot & blood on two of them. Two of the bunk beds had NO blankets so the kids doubled up on the bottom bunks. Also the house had months of dust accumulated on the night stands and light fixtures in the bathrooms. The slip covers on the furniture in the living room were stained and dirty. We made several calls and a couple of things were resolved but they couldn't do anything about dirt, dust & overall cleanliness. Didn't offer to send cleaning crew in. Overall I would give this house a 0 out of 10. We have tried to come to an agreement with Royal Destinations & the owners and they offered a small stipend which was not acceptable to us. Very disappointed for our only Family Vacation for the summer. Also only one exit door in the entire house which is on the bottom floor.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We all loved the house. Just a few minor items. The stove had a few issues and the top floor dryers do not work at all. Plus the alarm on the front door was falling off. The front door was very difficult to open.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and wonderful views. I would definitely stay again if the price was still good. Some locals and visitors will try and use the parking and are not scared of the towing signs. Luckily we didn't have 6 cars there all the time and could work around it.

Wonderful family vacation
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: This house is amazing. Being able to watch both the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening from your porch is incredible. The location of the house is perfect and the house is actually more breath taking than the photos show (if thats possible). We had a couple of issues but as soon as I reported them Royal Destinations came immediately to fix the problems. Overall this house was perfect for our family’s pre-Christmas celebration. Plenty of room to spread out and the king size beds were definitely a bonus for everyone. We had a wonderful stay.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not enough starter supplies, 300$ to heat pool on a $20,000 one week rental. Parking was always a challenge, as soon as we went anywhere someone parked in our spots. Very busy location. Would not stay here again

Grayton Dream - Wonderful Week
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than 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 and I had an amazing vacation. The house was beautiful, very clean, very well stocked and so much room for everyone. Royal Destinations was very responsive and helpful when we needed them. The location is so convenient. The only small negative would be that it is right next to where the vehicles drive onto the beach but that really wasn't a problem. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to others!

3 families end of summer vacation
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 had a great time at Grayton Dream. 8 kids and 6 adults fit comfortably in this space with a large kitchen and two laundry rooms serving us all well. The home is beautifully designed with a modern but comfortable beach vibe. The bedding, pillows and mattresses were very comfortable (and I am pretty picky when it comes to these items).The location was perfect with views of the lakes and the gulf, a short walk to Red Bar. The house came with bikes but two of them need a bit of repair so you may want to bring your own or reserve some. Having owned a beach house about this size, I know the maintenance is unbelievable and the salt air destroys everything quickly. The grill downstairs was in good shape and you can tell the management company is responsive. Something to be aware of: most homes have a check in time of 4:00 but this one is 5:00. I assume it is because of the size of the home and how long it takes to clean. With Red Bar being a few feet away, who cares? But just keep it in mind when planning your arrival. Also, there are no beach towels with this home so pack your own. The home towels are very nice quality, white and in very good condition. They do not belong on beach chairs covered in sunscreen, in my opinion. Plus it makes for a ton of laundry because you will run out of bath towels. While the kitchen is well appointed, you may want to bring your own knives if you cook a lot, or at least a sharpener. Also, mind the garbage days and get the trash out early. We missed it and with three families and a lot of cooking, we ran into problems by the end of the trip.

Hawks Nest Review
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: Hawks Nest was a fabulous location. The kitchen was extremely well equipped for cooking, baking and serving our group of 12. The furnishings were very nice, and the layout of the house was spacious and comfortable with gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico and the adjoining dune lake. The only downside was the plumbing. The main level toilet was not working when we arrived, and one of the downstairs toilets became unusable during our stay. The property management was quick to address our plumbing issues, however, and a maintenance man arrived within one hour of our calls.

Will come back
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: We had a great time, probably our best vacation to date. The property management was quick to respond to maintenance issues. The only issues we had were the ice maker never worked (they tried to come and fix multiple times so not for lack of trying) and we did have ants and a couple cockroaches, though I think that's somewhat expected in the south. I'd recommend asking them to spray before your stay because once people are in the house they can't come in with chemicals, which makes sense. It was an overall great experience with a breathtaking view. The proximity to the lake as well as the ocean makes it really great for younger kids as well.

Hawks Nest on the Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very busy beach - quite a long trek to the beach. Very difficult to get in and out of driveway because of so many cars, bikes and people on the busy street. Had to call mgmt. as housekeeping did not leave basic supplies of paper towel, dishwashing liquid and detergent. One bathroom did not have any toilet paper. Except for master suite, bedrooms are quite small. Loud music one night because of wedding next door.

Best house in Grayton
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: Fantastic house!!! Lots of room and the views are simply spectacular. It's 4 floors up so you can see to Panama City on one side and Destin on the other. Lots of room to sleep and the house is in great shape and consistent with the online pictures. The rental company is fabulous and was attentive when needed. Very pleasant to deal with compared to some others. I really have only two complaints: first they were renovating the house next door and it was loud and sort of annoying when sitting on the deck. But it looked close to complete so I wouldn't imagine it will be an issue for more than a few more weeks. Second was the distance to the beach. While the house is technically on the beach it is still a bit of a hike to the water. Not a big deal unless you have tons of beach stuff. Grayton does allow cars on the beach with a permit and it can get crowded on the weekends so the experience is definitely different from Alys or Rosemary. Didn't bother us though. In addition to the ocean, the house is also next to the big lake in the park that sort of connects to the ocean. It was nice to have. It gave the kids another whole area to play, explore, skim board (it perfect for that!!) and swim. I didn't realize what a huge bonus that would be. The location of the house is right in Grayton and next to everything there: Red Bar etc. Instead of having to wait for a table, just grab a pager and go back to the house and have a drink. You are so close the pagers all work and you can make to 90 second walk back when your table is ready. Very cool. Overall, a top notch rental company and house. If you like Grayton and have a big group, this is the house for you.

construction site
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our gettaway from the hustle and bustle of life.....This was our 4th time as a group staying..We love Hawk's Nest....the price increase was huge, but we still wanted to come. There were no upgrades in the kitchen (stove ancient) or bathrooms...toilet seat in downstairs suite pretty old...never told about construction directly next door..woke up to saws and drills at 7:00 am daily...asked to move 4 cars out of the way...construction residue left on barbecue, which was standard with the rental in the past, but you did come through after we begged...broken outdoor table..In light of all the above, mostly the construction being directly next door which effected our daytime on the beautiful porches,we love to eat outside and there was noise and workers everywhere..Can you imagine having no porch time on your beach vacation? Do you think it would be to much to ask for a discount for not being told before we signed the contract? We are reasonable people, some of us in the customer friendly positions...I believe it is a worthy question..Please let us know...Sincerely,Andra Thorpe, Ann Thompson, and Kathy Weidorn

DO NOT STAY HERE
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There are several major and very noisy, messy construction projects going on next door,and behind house. Same Owner as Hawk's Nest and he doesn't give a darn. Beach and water are Dirty, cars and trucks on beach., plus the place is cheaply built. There are much nicer (and less expensive) places down the beach where water is cleaner, no noise, no cars on beach and owners actually care about their guests. Don't get tricked by photos...avoid this place!
