Just reserved this for nine nights in August. It had a great rate and since we've stayed down the street in past summers, I know it's an awesome location.

Has anyone else stayed here?

It's on Pine Street with an awesome view. I had narrowed it down to Simply Blessed and Sweaty Palms. Sweaty Palms looks nicer inside but is a little further from the beach with no view. Since I haven't seen the interiors of either, I'm assuming I was choosing between nicer interior or better view, and I chose the view. I hope I made the right decision.

Thanks. Those are the same pics that are on Rivard's site, and that's exactly what's making me nervous. The living room looks like a frat house gone bad. :shock:The home description talks about the tree and the salt air and raccoons but nothing really useful about the actual house and what's inside. I hope I made the right decision.

It is a great location, we stayed there last year a few doors down. But you can't spend the wholllllle day on the beach, and that living room looks mighty strange.

Oh, you'll do fine, nothing that a cold beverage and a bucket of fresh steamed shrimp can't remedy .

This is what "going to the beach" was before the Granite-Stainless-Pergo Gang invaded the area. Would you rather pay double for some Granite Palace within "death-march" range of the beach?

Relax ....OK, that's enough....now start getting excited about your vacation.

Hey, I like you! We weren't even going to go to Grayton this year, because we went on a beautiful Princess cruise for our 20th anniversary, minus kids, in May.

But then I started looking at rentals because i was getting sent to Destin to work for a week. That eventually got cancelled, but i started seeing how reasonable we could do it for. So I pouted about til my husband coudlnt' stand it anymore. I cut out and pasted pictures of the Rivard catalog all over the house, in the bathroom, in his underwear drawer, the dashboard of his car, the toilet seat...until he gave in and said just book one already. Recession, reshmesshion, i need me :cool: some beach.
