Great Place!!
The location to the beach and the beach view was awesome. The pool is the biggest private pool I have ever seen on 30A and made it awesome for playing and hanging out. The inside of the house was clean and everything was easy. Great place, I will definitely stay here again.

Great Family Vacation
Truly enjoyed our stay at Waterside Wave, even though we had no internet the whole week. Unfortunately, as our family has grown, we need something a bit larger for next year, which you all don't have (I asked), so we had to reserve through a different channel.

Vacation in Paradise
Great property and house. 5th bedroom not actually a bedroom-bunk beds only, no window and no closet which was a little disappointing. Other than that a great house. Beautiful view of the ocean too!

What an awesome getaway we had for my friend's daughter's bachelorette party! The house was gorgeous with plenty of space for everyone, including a spacious kitchen and living room. Beautifully decorated. The deck overlooking the beach and that ocean view was phenomenal! The pool area was also great. It was super walkable both to the beach and restaurants and bars. I would absolutely come back and stay here again!

Love the location
Absolutely loved the location of this house. Quiet neighborhood, great beach access and never seemed busy or crowded. Great view of the beach and ocean and an easy walk only about block away to get onto the beach. Stayed here with the family and kids and now just adults, great either way, so close to the beach, close restaurants and bars that are within a mile and walkable. Great comfortable place in an exceptional location.

Perfect Beach Vacation
Waterside Wave has all the important details covered! You can hear the ocean from the pool and deck and see the ocean from the deck. The house is very clean and comfortable. The recently renovated bathrooms are perfect for a large group of friends or family! I can't wait to go back and share this gem with more of my friends! This is my number one choice in Grayton Beach! Waterside Wave is a place where life long memories are created! Kudos to the owners for their close attention to detail!

Exactly What We Expected and Wanted
Our entire visit exceeded expectations. The walk was shorter than we thought to the beach, the house was clearly kept up - even the outside paint looked brand new. The kitchen had everything, the living room was comfortable, and there were even the fun gutter downspouts! All the details were taken care of so that we could focus on the reason for being at the beach. Thank you to the owners and managers of this place!!!

Fabulous home for a large group
This beautiful beach home is located just steps from the beautiful, pristine beach. The deck and front bedrooms have a lovely of the gulf waters. The beds are comfy and well appointed. The large kitchen has all the necessities. This is a wonderful spot for a family group or group of friends. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I can't wait to have another visit!

Perfection by the Sea
Such a great place to take the family ! Lots of room, an open floor plan let's everyone be near but do their own thing! Short walk to a beautiful beach and lots of walking and biking opportunities in the neighborhood. The kids ( big and small) will love the beautiful pool……lots of seating all around….sit on the deck at sunset and listen to the ocean. Morning walks on the beach were a real treat. There are a lot of great restaurants within a mile or two…you can even walk to some on your beach walk!

Incredible beach house
An amazing house across the street from the beach! The house is perfect for a large family or a group of friends. Upstairs, there is a bunk room with a total of 4 beds that we didn't even utilize! The deck is perfect for coffee in the mornings or watching the sunset. The house also has a pool, which is awesome. Beach access is a short walk and of course the sand is amazing. Look forward to another visit in the near future!

Great Beach View house
This is an extremely great house for our families needs. We have two kids 6 and 9, and 6 adults. NOTHING to complain about. Great pool, everything we needed inside and out, very short walk to the beach, nice quiet neighborhood. The steps up to the front door may be an issue for some with mobility issues. Upon arrival the door code we were given was wrong but quickly corrected by easily contacting rental company. Wonderful week!

Fabulous Visit!
We loved this large, spacious home with a beautiful ocean view from the deck AND upper BR door and deck. Lots of towels in all the bathrooms and very comfy beds. Kitchen is well stocked with cook ware and dishes and glasses. The cool March temperatures did not allow us to enjoy the pool but it is gorgeous with lots of chairs and tables. Plenty of parking, too. Quiet, residential neighborhood away from big city noises and high rises but close enough to good restaurants and groceries. Loved our trip. Thank you for sharing your home away from home!

Excellent, would highly reccommend
This was our second stay at Waterside Wave, and we enjoyed every minute. The home is well laid out with everything one would need. The new windows and newly upgraded baths looked great. The neighborhood is quiet, and neat, and everyone we met were friendly. Less than five minutes and you are on the beautiful beach, wonderful for walks, and spectacular sunsets. Santa Rosa Beach is a great area, with lots to do and see within walking or bike riding distance. Shopping and restaurants are just minutes away. We will definitely return to Waterside Wave as soon as we can.

This kitchen is well equipped but could use more silverware- every meal we had to rewatch silverware. Your maid service makes the beds incorrectly. They placed the quilt between the fitted sheet and the top sheet. We remade all the beds. This was the 5th year using this house- the new owners have made several nice improvements- good outdoor grill, nice deck chaise lounges, new bedding, and great showers. We hope to keep coming here.

Great location & stay!
We had a great experience at Waterside Wave. The location was amazing, we loved the private beach, quiet neighborhood, nearby things to do, and the closeness of beach access. It was a great stay overall & the minor suggestions we have did not affect our stay. We would suggest mentioning that the house is a duplex in the listing, it could change some peoples opinion on booking. Also, letting your guests know that 2 pack n plays are provided. We rented 2 & could have saved that money. Lastly, the cleanliness could use a little work. The dishwasher had food particles remaining when we arrived that we cleaned ourselves before using the dishwasher. And the kitchen floors had debri & spills on the floor upon arrival. Overall we loved our trip & were very happy with our stay!

Family oriented
The house was as listed. Location was great easy walk to the beach. Everything was cleaned and ready when we arrived. All emails I sent were answered promptly. The size was good for our family. My only complaint was the stove. It worked, but I feel that the heat levels printed on it in a sharpie marker, was not in keeping with the rest of the house. This house would not be a good fit for families who might have a family member that has mobility issues, lots of stairs and low toilets. It was perfect for myself, children and grandchildren. We had a great time sitting on the deck having coffee watching the waves. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful beach, comfortable house made for a great visit.

Great place for the price
The house suites are needs perfectly. We have 5 children total and 6 adults. So the bedrooms are just right. The bunk room is small but the little ones sleep well in there. A request was made to replace the master toilet in the downstairs west bedroom and that was a wonderful surprise this year. There are enough places to sit and eat, beach access is easy and the pool is really loved by all of us. Not small like some places we've stayed. We had a few issues like the handle on the microwave broke, pool light was out and we had no internet so no tv for the kids. That was a bit inconvenient. The dvd player downstairs works but there is no remote so you can't use it for most of the kids dvds we had. They found one upstairs that worked. In the future a French door refrigerator would make more sense but all in all it's a great house for us. Management is the best answering inquiries in a timely basis. We will stay again.

Had a great time
This house worked perfect for our family beach trip. There are 11 of us total so bedrooms were just perfect for all of us. Pool was large enough for all of us to be in with the 5 grandkids. The tv went out in one of the bedrooms and maintenance replaced it with a new one within a few hours. Very close to the beach as well. My only complaint was the toilet in the master bath on the main floor is very short. For the cost of a new toilet it seems that a taller one would be much more comfortable. Plus the seat is broken and though I told the office the first day we arrived, that seat was never replaced. That seems like not a big deal but for older folks it is. We will stay again but keeping my fingers crossed that toilet is replaced with a new taller one by next year. Coastal Dreamin' Team is great to work with as well.

The Only Place to Stay
We absolutely love staying at Waterside Wave. This summer was the third of fourth time to stay here, and with new ownership and new management we immediately noticed the upgrades: broken windows replaced, all three bathrooms updated with walk in showers for two and new tile and shower doors for the third bathroom, hand soap provided in all three bathrooms, and a much cleaner place to stay. (We wondered if new cleaning company had been used. It was great.) The beach is a short 3-4 minute walk to the public boardwalk, and this year our youngest grands, ages 10, 9, and 7, were able to walk alone back and forth to the beach and the house. (We do use a walkie-talkie to notify adults when they are headed their way.) We are ready to book our week for next summer, and are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to do so. A big thank you to Coastal Dreaming' and to the new owners for providing my family the opportunity to spend a wonderful week in my happy place, Gulf Trace, Florida. Until next year.
