Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you want a quality location and "life making" memory's vacation, you will find it at the Sandy Toes Cottage. Quiet location, very close to the beach and restaurants was an outstanding experience. Walking path along with immediate access to the beach across the street make it the perfect location. One of the best my family has ever stayed. Highly recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been vacationing in Destin for the past 9 years and this property is by far one of the best. It was very well stocked when cooking utensils and dishware. Perfect location away from the busy traffic and quiet neighborhood, but just a 5 min walk to the private beach. Will definitely be looking to book this property again in the future!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just ok, based on pictures thought it would have been fine. Tough stay for a week with 5 kids a and 4 adults. Only stay here if with your significant other or other adults. Lastly house needs new beds and was in aware how close it was to the airport, that got annoying after about day 4.

Great location and a decent house
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Toes. It has a great location to the beach which is really helpful. For the most part, the house is updated and clean. The grout in the master bathroom needs to be cleaned or updated. You can tell they did want they can to update the house, but the appliances and bathrooms are old and need to be replaced. Packing tips - They do give you what you need to start with - dishwasher soap, laundry soap, etc to get you through the first few days. One thing I thought was really strange was there was no salt, pepper or any spices. Also, there is no plastic containers to put in leftovers. So, I would recommend to pack that if you plan on cooking. Overall, we were happy with the house.

Definitely a nice stay.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This space fit our party well. The kitchen wasn't very functional, but it was stocked. I am glad I brought hand soap because there was only bar soap provided. The beds weren't very comfortable and the bedding was cheap and the mattress covers were thin and kept coming off the corners of the mattress. But the location was great, access to beach was great. Two chairs and an umbrella was provided. It was nice that they provided beach towels. Can't really complain about much! It was quiet and a nice neighborhood. Would stay again. Wish I would have known I had to use a checking account to make our second payment before. It worked out, but it was a little complicated at first.

Best Family Vacation Ever
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After not being able to travel with the family for the past 2 pandemic years, I decided to rent this property for our entire family for a relaxing vacation. This property did not disappoint, and the pictures were spot on. Let's start with the Pros; Very close to the beach and pool with just a short walk. Very spacious for alot of family fun, the balcony was my morning spot for coffee and discussion. The area was very quiet and everyone was very friendly. There was plenty of pots and pans dishes for us to make any meal of our choosing. Now for the Cons: We noticed there were a couple of toilets that constantly ran, I placed a call to management and they were Johnny on the spot with the repairs. I still noticed a day later that one of the toilets was still acting up but honestly forgot to give them a call to fix. If I had to pick one thing that was very disappointing, that would be the bunk beds on the main floor. They sagged like they were about to collapse, and they also made a very loud noise when the kids tossed and turned in their sleep. Other than that It was a very great stay.

Great location and beautiful home
This home is beautiful. Everything was so clean and spacious. The living room being upstairs was a little odd but it worked out fine. We had a problem with the garbage disposal but maintance was there to fix it within an hour! The beds were very comfortable! It even came with a portable box fan in the closet which saved me money from having to go buy one! It also had a high chair ehich helped as we had an 8 month old baby with us. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Perfect Beach House
We had a wonderful stay at Sandy Toes. The house was perfect for two families. It was a quick walk to the beach, shops and our favorite restaurants. On windy days, the pool was a great option. We were concerned that the kitchen was going to be too small to cook but it was just fine. We will rent this house again!

Spring Break
Perfect property for our joint family stay. Easy walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The porch was wonderful for morning coffee and afternoon relaxation. Great property but could have done without the college age boys with loud music, drunken yelling, and apparently no adult on premise. Really well developed neighborhood but next time it will be a summer visit in hopes of a more family friendly neighborhood.
