About this property

Waterside Wave - 5BR/3BA Gulf Trace Home - Sleeps 14 - Private Pool & EV Charger

  • Waterside Wave is a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home for up to 14 guests in the Gulf Trace neighborhood of Grayton Beach, on the south side of Scenic Highway 30A. It has a private pool with a poolside sun deck, and Gulf Trace's private deeded beach access is about a 1-minute walk from the house.

    The first floor has an open living area with vaulted ceilings, a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and seating for 5 at the bar, and a dining area that seats 10. Two king bedrooms are also on the first floor, each with a private bathroom: the Primary Suite has a walk-in shower, and Bedroom 2 has a tub/shower combination. A full-size washer and dryer are on this floor as well.

    Upstairs, Bedroom 3 has a king bed, Gulf views and a private balcony. Bedroom 4 has 2 full beds, and the bunk room has 2 sets of twin-over-twin bunks. The three upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Every bedroom has a smart TV.

    Outside, there is a wrap-around porch with Gulf views and a screened area with a full-size ping-pong table. The home also has an EV charging station. Waterside Wave is next to Eastside Wave, and the two homes can be rented together for larger groups.

    BEACH ACCESS
    The closest beach access is to the east, about a 1-minute walk: turn left on Gulf Shore Drive and it is 3 houses down on the right. The next access, 5 more houses down, has a boardwalk with no steps, which makes it easy to use with a wagon or rolling cooler. Just east of Gulf Trace, the Grayton Beach access at the end of Defuniak Street has a lifeguard on duty during the season.

    POOL
    The private pool is about 15 by 30 feet. Pool heating is available for $60 per day.

Perfect Location AND Accommodations!

Loved this home being in a small residential area right on the beach but within minutes of yummy restaurants and any shopping desired. The home is a short 5-minute walk (and I'm 71) to a practically private beach. It is beautifully furnished and decorated, has very comfortable beds, and there is plenty of seating in the open family/kitchen area. Lots of parking with a lovely private pool to top off the luxury of this rental. Can't wait to go back!

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!

Better Than Average

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!

Perfect for Sunset walks to dinner!

Tucked in the middle of a State Park, this home offers the best of everything! The hosts provide a cozy, comfortable, clean home that is well appointed, with lots of space. The pool is beautiful, with plenty of seating, and is a short walk to the beach. I especially loved the proximity to wonderful restaurants and live music, that I could get to without having to drive. Waterside Wave is perfect for a girls' getaway, a family retreat, or new scenery for those who still need to work, but want to enjoy the beach life after hours!

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!!!

Amazing Trip!

A group of eight of us stayed for a bachelorette weekend! This house is beautiful, clean, and huge! The neighborhood it’s located in has a beautiful (and not busy) beach. The pool was clean and larger than expected. No issues during our stay and can’t wait to return. I will say, this unit is a duplex. At first I was worried about that, but some of the girls didn’t even realize until the second day because the home is so large. Book it!

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!

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.

We loved the property and amenities. However, the coded locks need replacing(they don’t work properly), the bedroom blinds need to be replace because they don’t operate properly, and more light is needed on the outside stair are, safety. And finally the code for the entry gate code was not on the portal.

The house is a duplex. The ocean view that was advertised no longer exists because a house has been built directly in front of it. They should update the listing and the photos, as I chose this property specifically because of the ocean view.I would also recommend replacing the pots and pans in the kitchen with nonstick ones, as the current cookware causes food to stick.The pool is nice, and the beach is within a short walking distance. Other than those details, everything else was very good, and we enjoyed our stay.

Annual family beach trip

We like our stay at waterside wave. The pool is bigger than most rentals with pools. The beach access is not far. We had a noisy stay with all the construction building new houses and one across the street now totally blocks our gulf view. But all in all the house is comfortable and accommodates us all very well. We love the area as it is close to restaurants and stores. We will be back. I have written to the main office on a few things needing repair so hopefully those are attended to. Thanks for starting our summer off right!!

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.

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!

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.
