Family Favorite 'Walker House' in Grayton Beach-Private Pool

Come relax and enjoy a quiet getaway in this charming three-bedroom/two-bath beach house located on a private street in Grayton Beach. UNIQUE comes to mind when considering staying at the Walker House. Still owned & managed by the original homeowner, this cozy cottage has become a niche among the very large homes that are now in Grayton Beach. This home offers an option for small family gatherings at affordable rates near the beach. It sleeps 8 with 1 king, 2 queens & queen sofa sleeper.


Walker House has a newly (2019) surfaced 12 x 29' private gunite pool with pebble tex finish & built-in seating bench. An additional highlight is the new furniture around the pool including Adirondack chairs & lounge chairs for relaxing. Pool can be heated off season for an additional charge per week. It is complete with natural gas grill & a Weber kettle charcoal grill, tropical landscaping, night lighting, & market umbrella . The pool is located on the south side (beachside) of the home to capture the gulf breezes while cooking outdoors with family & friends. The west side (rear of the home) features a 10x16 open deck beyond the 10x40 covered/screened porch with a table, 4 chairs, & more Adirondacks for reading & relaxing.

The house features Travertine stone and hardwood floors throughout. The common area interior walls are constructed of v-groove white washed pine combined with numerous original artworks, help add to its character. It has a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an open family area. Family Room & all bedrooms are furnished with flat panel televisions. WIFI is provided (DSL) & TV is Mediacom/cable.

The master bedroom and bath are located upstairs with a private balcony overlooking the pool and also offering limited views of the gulf . The master bath features a large stone and glass tile walk in shower, modern style cabinet with two sinks and glass tile backsplash and a granite countertop.

It is approximately 100 yards to the beach, and the dune walkover is conveniently located 65 yards from the front steps. A wagon is provided for carrying items to the beach, along with chairs & various beach toys. Ample parking...small cars can park underneath in the house.

Saturday to Saturday. Weekly only preferred March thru October (nightly considered - on individual basis with owner approval).

Wonderful stay at the Walker House!
We had a great time staying at the Walker Beach house. They had everything we needed. The pool was great and had some nice shade in the afternoon. A very short walk to the boardwalk to the beach made it easy to go to and from the beach all day. Wayne was very responsive to our needs and was an exceptional host! We would love to stay here again next year.

Fall Trip
This was our third stay at Walker House. We love the mix of older and newer homes in the area. After years of staying in a much more crowded spot close by we really enjoy Grayton. The beach access is a short walk and there is never a crowd on the beach. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The owner, Wayne, is very responsive and provides great information if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Family Vacation Trip
The Walker house was amazing for me and my wife, our 2 daughters, and my parents. The location was incredible - very short walk to the beach and very short car or golf cart ride to all the best restaurants in Grayton or Watercolor. Wayne was an amazing host who always responded quickly via text and had great suggestions for things to do while we were there. The house was very nice with a great pool in the side yard area and large patios. Would absolutely recommend for a family trip!

Wonderful stay and wonderful host!
We loved staying at the Walker House! Stay here when I was a child in the 80s, and coming back in my 40s brought back so many wonderful memories. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable, pool was refreshing after a day at the beach, and Wayne was a wonderful host and was very responsive when I messaged him. Would definitely rent this place again!

We love this area of Grayton Beach. Walker House is in a great location and is perfect for a small family or couples. It is a cute smaller home but with plenty of room for our group of four. We loved having the private pool to enjoy when the beach was too hot.

Great location, well equipped
We really enjoyed our stay at the Walker house. It’s a great location in Grayton Beach. Having a private pool is a nice feature when you need a break from the beach. Owner was very responsive to questions. The house was very well equipped. I brought several things from home not knowing if the kitchen would have everything we needed but was pleasantly surprised that they thought of everything including plastic barware you can use by the pool. There was even bottle of wine left chilled in the fridge for us upon arrival.

Home away from home with beachy feel
Everything was as expected. The pool is an awesome perk and a good size for the house. Too many pools in this region are more like tubs than pools. There is some minor floor damage upstairs in the master suite at the sliding door but easily overlooked. Overall the property was in great shape and had a good homey vibe to it. Would definitely stay here again. The owner contacted us once to just check in on us and that was much appreciated. Walk to the beach was just a simple 5 minute stroll about a block and half away.

We had a wonderful time with easy access to the beach and Grayton restaurants. Easy to bike to so many towns along 30A. The Walker House was exactly as listed!
