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).

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!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Walker

Host profile image
We are in our 50's and have one son. We love relaxing at the beach and sunsets with friends. We also love art...collecting and painting even though we have no real talent. Some of our best memories are from times spent at Grayton Beach.

Why they chose this property

We both grew up in northwest Florida and began spending time at Grayton Beach in 1981. It was our dream to own property there and we bought a lot and built our first home in 1986. We have seen a lot of changes in the area over the years and remember the slower paced days we used to have just sipping coffee and chatting with neighbors in the mornings.

What makes this property unique

Our many years of renting our home has helped us put our guests' comforts in line with their expectations. We love the pool and pool area that we added a few years ago. The proximity to the beach, restaurants, bike paths, etc makes our home a great vacation choice.
