Some homes don’t linger—they move. Grayton Place 5 at 126 Hotz Avenue is a perfect example.
Listed for sale by Ocean Reef Real Estate Sales and actively generating rental income through the Ocean Reef Resorts vacation rental program, this charming Grayton Beach townhome went under contract in just five days. That kind of momentum tells a story investors and second-home buyers love to hear.
Set in the vibrant village center of Grayton Beach, Grayton Place 5 blends lifestyle appeal with proven rental performance—an increasingly rare combo along Scenic 30A.
A Village-Center Location Buyers Crave

Tucked along Hotz Avenue, this raised two-story townhome puts everything Grayton Beach is known for right outside the door. From sugar-white sand beaches and Western Lake to nature trails and legendary local hangouts, the location checks every box. The home sits just steps from The Red Bar, where nightly live music, chalkboard menus, and retro vibes have made it an icon for decades. Nearby favorites like Chiringo, Zoo Gallery, and Tribe Kelley Surf Post enhance the walkable, lived-in feel savvy buyers are seeking.
And when it’s time to explore beyond the village, Seaside is just minutes away with its shops, dining, festivals, and classic coastal energy.
Thoughtful Design with Coastal Style
Grayton Place 5 offers 1,442 square feet of heated and cooled space, thoughtfully arranged across three levels.

The second floor is dedicated to rest and retreat, featuring two well-appointed bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes a king-size bed, contemporary coastal furnishings, a wall-mounted flatscreen TV, and a private covered balcony—perfect for quiet mornings or evening wind-downs. A Jack-and-Jill bath with a tub/shower combo connects to the bright guest bedroom, which features a queen bed, generous natural light, and its own flatscreen TV.

Up top, the third floor opens into an airy living, dining, and kitchen space recently refreshed with a crisp nautical palette. Navy accent walls and cabinetry anchor the space, while white stone countertops and custom cabinetry keep things bright and coastal. The living area is designed for both relaxing and entertaining, with comfortable seating centered around a large flatscreen TV. Glass doors lead to a sun deck with a dining table, ideal for breezy outdoor meals. A second full bath with a walk-in shower completes this level.

The ground floor includes a one-car garage, laundry area, and a private backyard—plus ample paved parking, a rare find this close to the village center. And with no HOA fees, the property offers flexibility that buyers immediately recognize as a long-term advantage.
