Excellent beach stay

Toes in the Sand worked perfectly for the four of us. The condo is clean and well suited for a beach vacation base of operations. Access to the beach was easy, grills were useful, and the drinks and food from the on site concession were very good AND reasonably priced. Sharon was very accommodating and very responsive. Five stars!

Things we liked. The owner was great to work with and very quick to reply. Plus the unit was 2 bed 2 bath. Both beds were comfortable. Sofa bed. Plenty of seating with couch, love seat, table and chairs, plus barstools. Decor in living area. Multiple tvs. Amenities at the complex were nice with 4 pools and snack shack. Cons. There were a few items that we followed up with the owner about. There were a couple house keeping items that we made the owner aware of that the cleaners needed to correct. Then the guest bath toilet ran the whole time. Then some things that were just not for us. Im not the average size guy, so the unit overall felt very small and tight. We made it work, but the master bath and kitchen are extremely tight, especially for someone my size. We have stayed in similar sized condos before, and felt to have more space. Lastly, we weren’t a fan of the location of the unit, in the complex. It is an end unit on the highway end. So there was a lot of road noise. So nothing wrong with the unit itself, it just wasn’t for my family, but would still recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for sharing both what you enjoyed and what could be improved. We are so glad you found communication easy, the beds comfortable, and the complex amenities enjoyable. We also appreciate you bringing the housekeeping and maintenance items to my attention — those have been addressed to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. Every guest’s perspective helps us fine-tune the stay experience, and while the layout and location weren’t the best fit for your family, We are happy to hear you’d still recommend the condo to others. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I appreciate the care you took during your stay!

Cute condo near the beach, but very noisy

This condo is every bit as cute as the pictures! Clean and comfortable. It is a one minute walk down the resort hallway to the beach. It is on a main road so you have quick access to shops and restaurants. There is also a state park a couple of minutes down the road where you can rent bikes and ride through the trails there. The downside is the noise and the view. There is a 6 story garage being built right next to this resort and the balcony looks directly at it, close enough I could throw a can into their work dumpster. So, sounds of hammering, sawing, trucks backing up etc start at the break of dawn. There was no way to have a relaxing breakfast on the balcony in the mornings or drinks and conversation in the evenings. Any natural light from the double sliding doors gives you a view of construction workers and cement trucks so there is no privacy with the curtains open. This unit is on the street end of the resort so you also have the steady sound of traffic. We know getting to go on a vacation is a privilege and really did have a wonderful time. We just hoped our experience had looked and sounded more like the beach and less like the city.

We are glad that you had a wonderful time and found the condo comfortable, despite the construction next door. This area is constantly growing and most complexes have construction of some kind going on around. We strive very hard with what construction occurs to make our condo as perfect of a place to escape to as possible. We are so sorry for any reason that you were displeased in any way with your stay and sincerely hope when construction is finished that you will consider us again.
