Grayton Favorite, Large Private Pool, 75 Yards to Beach Access, Newly Renovated

Toulouse Mongoose is a beloved retreat for vacationing families and groups heading to the Florida Panhandle for a weeklong summer escape or a long weekend with friends. Nestled in Historic Grayton Beach, this charming beach house—located just two homes from the Gulf—offers an inviting blend of comfort, space, and coastal charm for creating lasting memories.

Many families become repeat guests to enjoy their beach holiday at our home. We love to have you visit again and again and use the home to switch off from work and relax. The home is perfect for a couple of families and your kids to spread out and build memories together. Enjoy listening to the surf from the front porch after a long, fun day at the beach. The large private pool is the perfect spot for kids to enjoy, with a shaded area that has plenty of space to relax out of the sun.

Summer stays run Sunday to Sunday, giving you a full weekend to settle in and enjoy, with less traffic to contend with on arrival and departure. Step outside to find two convenient beach access points—the closest just 75 yards from your back door—leading to plenty of beach for your chairs, paddleboards, umbrellas, and more.

Unbeatable Location & Features

Private Pool Area: Features a large heated pool with a waterfall, 6 cushioned chaise lounge chairs, a Weber grill, and a shaded porch with a Coca-Cola bar lounge seating and teak cafe table seats 8.
Spacious Layout: Spread across three levels, this open and airy home offers room for families to unwind together or enjoy their own space. The front porch adds to its charm.
Parking & Storage: Space for three cars and ample space under the front porch for bicycles. Renting a golf cart is also doable if you want to open air ride to other neighborhoods, but not necessary.

Comfortable Accommodations
Top Floor: Master King bedroom with en suite bathroom, TV, quiet seating area, and French doors opening to beach views east and west.

Extra top secret: there's a book nook for children to find on the main floor. It's a great spot for kids needing some chill time from the beach to relax after a little too much sun or wanting to read a book during a cloudy day. Shhhh, the kids will find this on their own.

Coastal Charm
Toulouse Mongoose exudes an upscale island vibe with original artwork—like Walter Anderson block prints—and whimsical touches that make every corner feel welcoming.

You are a short bike ride from Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, and Blue Mountain. Kids can enjoy old school freedom of riding bikes to spots on their own. There's a nature trail to also rid into that is just north of the entrance to Grayton Beach State Park. There's parking for cars. The nature path is also perfect for a relaxing walk in the live oak canopy.

Complimentary beach cart and chairs are provided for your convenience.
