Hawk’s Nest is the perfect home for the large group desiring gulf-front accommodations. Located behind an expanse of low dunes, adjacent to the Grayton Beach public beach access, Hawk’s Nest is 3,000 square feet of coastal comfort for up to 14 guests with fabulous views of the turquoise gulf from every level. Additional accommodations for 20 are available at its sister property – the 6-bedroom Hawk’s Landing – only 100 yards away. Guests reserving both homes are eligible for a discount.
Recently renovated, this upscale 4-story beach house is wrapped in deep balconies on the gulf side and includes 1,000 square feet of covered area at ground level - all affording unparalleled views of the gulf just beyond. Two outdoor showers on the lanai’s north side keep the sand outside. Grayton Beach landmark The Red Bar is located just one block north.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor and two bedrooms – including the master - on the fourth floor. The home’s gathering area encompasses the entire third floor, and features large picture windows framing the sugar-white sand and gulf waters beyond. Two sets of glass doors provide access to the deep wrap-around balcony. The renovated kitchen is equipped with warm wood cabinets and granite countertops.
Beloved by residents and visitors alike, Grayton Beach is known for its laid-back charm. A perennial Grayton favorite is The Red Bar, renown for its casually delicious menu and funky atmosphere. This and several other quaint shopping and dining options are within easy walking distance of both Hawk’s Nest and Hawk’s Landing. Grayton Beach is one of the Beaches of South Walton, encompassing 26 miles of pristine coastline. It is the only destination in the country to have its entire coastline certified as “Blue Wave” by the Clean Beaches Council for it commitment to maintaining unspoiled shoreline and natural habitat.

The property far exceeded our expectations! Last house on the street with unimpeded view of the beautiful beach. Verandas on every floor. Master bedroom and bath awesome. Huge walk in shower with 2 shower heads. Wish I had room to build one of these in my house! There are lots of stairs to go up and down so beware of that. There is no elevator. I would go back every year if I could.

The view and value this place offers is outstanding! We stayed at a nearby home two years ago and really enjoyed our stay but i decided to roll the dice and booked the hawk's nest this time around. The gulf views are tremendous, I don't think the pictures really do it justice. The only negative is that it's adjacent to the public access road to the beach. But you are also close to the volleyball net, and the house is a fantastic place if you enjoy people watching! We had a few minor problems (light bulbs burnt out during the stay) and the staff took care of the issues very quickly. There were a total of 4 families and 11 people staying in the house and we all had plenty of room. We will definitely be looking to book this home again in the future!
Manager Response

A wonderful experience for the entire family. A visit to the Florida Panhandle should be on everyone's "bucket list".

This four story house is right on the beach. We were able to collect shells, do some very interesting people watching and on Tuesday we watched dolphins swim close by - very exciting. The house was large enough for 10 people - ages ranging from 52 to 6 months. The master bedroom and bath are incrediable! When family gets to be a little much, it is a great place to escape. The kitchen is well stocked. We had several family meals at the house. Kids, grownups had plenty of places to chose to eat - innside and out. One warning- stay away from the 2000 piece puzzle! Over all we had a great time and the Red Bar is right there down the street (if you go in through the backdoor). We had lunch there twice. Great fish sandwiches
Manager Response
Hawks Nest is a wonderful property and we are glad to hear you and the family enjoyed. We will make sure to put a warning label on the 2000 piece puzzle. As the family growns we also have Hawks Landing within walking distance available for the additional family members.
