Grayton Beach not only provides you with stunning views, it provides you with activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here!
Enjoy this Funky, Free-spirited town where you will find quaint historic cottages next to modern beach homes. You’ll enjoy the many shopping and dining options such as ‘Another Broken Egg’. This is much more than a cool beach town, this location is the best of both worlds, enjoy a quiet relaxing getaway while still having a lot of action packed activities at your fingertips.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Cottage Street is not a through street (it dead ends at the walkway to the beach). Because of this, the front porch is useable and quiet.
The roughly dozen houses on Cottage Street share the pictured pool which is less than 20 feet from Herron's Watch. The maximum depth of the pool is only 5 feet so it is more for sunbathing or smaller children. We never saw more than a handful of people around the pool.
The initial furnished perishable supplies for the cottage were more than adequate.
While we did not cook, the cottage was amply furnished with glassware and kitchen supplies.
The cottage is furnished with ample towels and wash clothes, all of which were either new or in very good condition.
Flaws and faults were very minor (hence the five star review).
Each bathroom needs a hairdryer. The standup shower could use a plastic liner in addition to the shower curtain to help contain water within the shower. Great water pressure. The hot water tank delivered hot water at high water volume for two extended showers.
HVAC system and ceiling fans delivered ample cooling. The Unit was clean with no sand or grit on the floors (often an issue with beach property).
For sleeping quarters, we only used the king bed bedroom. The bedspread and decorative pillows for the king bed bedroom could use an update. The regular pillows were in good condition and the cottage comes with one set (that we saw) of additional regular pillows that were also in good condition. The king bed was still fine for sleeping and was comfortable with no sagging while sleeping but, perhaps because space is tight in the king bedroom, the end of the bed does give substantially if you sit on it. My personal preference would be for a queen bed in the room rather than a king given the dimensions of the room.
The real estate company sent text updates during our stay inquiring as to any problems and reminding as to checkout times.
Our all in cost for three nights during the second week of May was $1208 which was far less than any property with comparable proximity to the beach and the fact that Herrons Watch has only three bedrooms makes it a viable option for a couple looking to spend a long weekend in Grayton.
