Grayton Beach has been here longer than anything else on this coast. It was settled in the 1890s and it still shows — narrow sand streets, live oaks leaning over the pavement, and a village center where nothing feels manufactured.
Grayton Landing sits inside all of it: a private, gated enclave of just six homes on Garfield Street, tucked along the north shore of Western Lake, one of South Walton's rare coastal dune lakes. There's a lakefront pool, a dock with six slips and two covered boat lifts, and a walk to the Gulf that takes about five minutes.
Inside this guidebook, we cover the setting along Western Lake and Grayton Beach State Park; the homes themselves, built in 2018 and 2019 by Luke & Blue — four stories with elevators, four to six bedrooms, sleeping twelve to fourteen; the shared amenities and deeded boat slips; and the village that surrounds it, from The Red Bar and Chiringo to AJ's and the Tribe Kelley Surf Post.
We also cover the practical side: vacation rental permissions, association basics
