Reviews

Julie

We had such a great week in Grayton Beach. Shades of Summer is the perfect home for a large family. Each bedroom having it's own private bathroom is great. The heated pool felt amazing. Walking two blocks to the beach is so nice. Being within walking distance to Chiringo and the Red Bar for food and drinks is the best! Golf cart and bikes were an added bonus that we used daily. This was our 4th time staying at Shades of Summer, and we will definitely be back. The house is PERFECT! So many memories made
