In one of these meticulously appointed homes, you’ll be surrounded by beauty that is truly one of a kind. The location puts you within walking or biking distance of Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain Beach hotspots — from ice cream to shopping, it’s all nearby!

West Pool: Located behind the clubhouse near the main entrance. To reach it, head toward the entrance gate and look for the large white clubhouse building. You’ll see the pool chairs and fenced pool area behind it.
East Pool: Located next to the tennis and pickleball courts. To reach it, head toward the center of the community.
Gated (Deeded) Beach Access
There’s a dedicated path at the East Pool where you can park bikes or a golf cart. Walk across the crosswalk to the gated beach access. This community enjoys exclusive access to approximately 7 acres of private beach, with no public access. We are also adjacent to a portion of Grayton Beach State Park — plenty of sand, plenty of space.

Trash and Wildlife
Bear-proof trash cans are provided and must stay fully closed and latched at all times (including when placed curbside for pickup) to prevent access by animals. No loose trash bags are permitted. Extra public trash bins are available at both clubhouses.
Other details to note:
All of our doors are hurricane proof doors. While all doors easily lock, guests need to lift up the handle and rotate the small deadbolt next to handle to get them in the locked position.
Trash removal is scheduled for Mondays & Thursdays. Per Walton County policy: trash containers shall be placed curbside no earlier than 2 hours before sunset (4pm) the evening prior to scheduled collection days. For all non-pick-up days, garbage must be kept in sanitary, covered, and secured trash containers that are stored out of street view.
In case they are needed, guests will find extra public trash bins located at the two clubhouses. No loose bags of trash are permitted. Bear-proof trash cans are provided, which employ bear-resistant latches or straps that physically prevent animals from opening the lid. Trash can lids must remain completely closed and latched at all times (including when placed on the street side for pickup) to prevent access by animals, such as bears and raccoons.
Per our stated House Rules, do not hang any items on railings or balconies. This HOA will fine units in violation of this policy. If we receive a fine for the dates of your stay, this $100 fine will be passed on to the guest responsible.
