Wonderful front row house

Everything about the house was 100% perfect! The online description was great. We had everything we needed. Over the top service by the management company! They communicated clearly and promptly. Before we arrived they sent an email with checkin details and even texted to make sure we received the email. After arriving they checked in to see if everything was ok. The 10am checkout was tough, but we managed and it was great to get home early. Would highly recommend this house!

Great Beach House

This was the second time staying at Sandy Toes and it was better than the first. The house is spacious enough for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. We could have had more and not been on top of each other. The house is very close to the beach and has great views of the ocean and beautiful sun rises. Very clean and well kept. The grandson thinks that it is his beach house so we will probably return next year. You won't be disappointed.

Fun weekend!

Loved this beautiful home and the floor pan was perfect! The house is well decorated and had a fully equipped kitchen. The views of the beach from the patio was amazing. The beach is a short walk from the house. I would recommend bringing your own games and cards as the house doesn’t have anything for rainy days. (Not a big deal, but wanted to mention it.) The beds are very comfortable and loved having two master suites. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

LOVELY home; Inconsiderate neighbors

The house is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you need including a great view of the beach. For a second row home, you really cannot beat the view/access to the beach-so convenient! We very much enjoyed our time on the beach during the week, but come the weekend it was no longer a very family friendly place. We were felt out of place and uncomfortable with the MANY people on the beach displaying vulgar political flags, people blaring their music with no consideration of others, and people with off leash dogs who allowed their animals to defecate IN the water. The "icing on the cake" for my husband's birthday was the live concert (with full sound system) that took place outdoors in the rental house next to ours. Ocean Properties kindly provided us with the Sheriff's phone number which we had to use. Although we would absolutely like to stay in this beautiful house again, we will not be back. Crystal Beach is not for us.

Very nice house, Pay attention to the rules!

We had a very nice time at Sandy Toes, the house is accurately described and VERY well taken care of. Make sure to pay attention to the rules and don't think you will pull a fast one on the managing company, they do drive by and check. We had 2 instances that we were contacted about during the stay- 1.) We arrived 30 mins early (4 hour trip from East Texas), we parked in the driveway and were going to change in the downstairs shower area and head to the beach so the maintenance could do his inspection. We spoke with him and he said no problem. We were texted and told to leave the property immediately so we parked across the street and waited the 30 minutes. 2) The rules say absolutely no gas grills, there is only one charcoal grill in the back area with tall grass/ mosquitos. We used our gas grills, the same day we were contacted and told to remove the grills from the property. We set them up on a trailer across the street (County Property). Luckily, there was an electric griddle in the house that we could use to cook some of our other grilling foods we brought. 3) The fire alarms go off very sporadically, I know this is due to humidity and it is mentioned in the book but they went off at several times during the night; waking the whole house up in a panic. This is our 5th year in Crystal Beach and we have never had this issue. Overall, for the first two items we did not follow the agreed upon rules so I cannot denote stars for that. I do respect the company for setting strict rules; without them the house wouldn't be as nice and clean as it was. We had a great experience for the most part and I would recommend this house to friends.

Beautiful home, excellent views

What a wonderful experience! This house is exactly as advertised. Two king suites was perfect for our group of 7-including three teens. The view from both porches is excellent and we even saw a few fireworks from the porch. It really is a short walk to the beach which was great for our group (included two seniors). We could see our family members,who were at the beach, from the front porch. The house has everything you will need and the best one we have stayed at in our 17 years of renting properties! If you have dogs or small children, the enclosed decks, small back yard, and covered parking area is perfect. Also, there was a water hose in the covered parking area which was great for washing off sandy beach chairs, etc. Beds are comfy and the air is cold. You won't regret booking this home. I hope we have the chance to return.

Fantastic Property

We had a really great stay at Sandy Toes! The house was in immaculate condition when we arrived with a very easy check-in procedure. All of the basics you could need are included with the property, and the spaces worked perfectly for our needs. The one minor issue that we had was addressed very quickly by the very responsive management team. We will definitely be back here again!

Exactly as advertised!

This property is exactly as advertised. This house is very spacious and beautiful. It was exactly what we needed to accommodate our family. The beach access is just a few steps away. It’s basically an unobstructed view of the gulf. If you forgot anything there is The Big Store a few miles down the road. My family will definitely be coming back to this property as this has been our favorite rental in Crystal Beach!

Perfect Getaway!!!

The house was beautiful, clean, and well stocked. We had three families with littles and Sandy Toes fit us all well. This house has great hangout spaces and is super convenient to the beach. We set up our tent within view of the house and were easily able to come and go from the house as needed during our beach time. The internet wasn’t reliable but we all welcomed the chance to unplug. :) Definitely a place to visit again!!

The description of this property doesn't do justice to how amazing the house is. Fully stocked kitchen, great quality on everything from furniture to cleanliness to every single aspect of the house being well thought. We went for a family vacation and were pleasantly surprised.

Great family getaway

We booked a stay here for our anniversary/ family getaway. The kiddos loved the beach and it was perfect since our dog could come along. Everything we needed was provided and some nice restaurants weren't far away. It's been a few years since we made it over to Crystal Beach and this property didn't disappoint. We'll definitely keep this one in mind for our next trip or one from OPCD at the very least is this particular one isn't available.

Spring Break

Our stay was better than expected. Pictures never do justice. The house is beautiful and a very good layout since the master is top level. All the amenities and plus. The only thing I don't like is how late check-in is and how early you are required to leave. This needs to be revisited. We will stay there again!
