About this property

PRIVATE HEATED POOL/GOLF CART/ICE MAKER/BEACH CHAIRS & UMBRELLAS/PARKING 6 CARS

Peaceful, luxurious setting a short drive from Seaside, Watercolor etc. We are a 7-10 min walk or a 2 min golf cart ride to a great beach access. Blue Mountain Creamery, a favorite for kids of all ages, is a short walk from our home. Hwy 30-A is a 17 mile county Hwy, that runs along the coast- w/ bike path the entire length. We have 3 king beds, 1 queen, a bunk w/full on bottom, twin on top, two folding cots + fold out twin bed ottoman. You can comfortable accommodate your family and friends. Huge wrap around porch w/ part of it screened; Swing, outdoor round table plus outdoor sofa & chairs makes this a perfect hang out spot after a day of playing in the gulf. 6 flat screen TV's (one in each bedroom/bunk area/screened porch and of course the living room) WiFi streaming service/UtubeTV/dvd player/collection of movies, most child friendly. Our new home sits on a half acre lot making it almost completely private...you can listen to the birds in the morning, and many times you can hear the waves. At night, you'll hear crickets, frogs & owls. Once you visit our little piece of paradise, you'll want to come back. Golf Cart, Chairs, umbrellas, 2 bikes, single seater kayak & paddle board, some life vests, corn hole set provided. You'll also enjoy a commercial ice machine that makes all the ice you'll need.

Toes in the Sand 2

Close to beach but still very private. We stayed with our 20 something sons and their girlfriends. Everyone loved the house. Beds were comfy, kitchen well equipped, screened in porch was great for game night and afternoon naps! Walk to beach wasn’t far and golf cart made it even easier. The pool was my favorite spot! House is so scenic itself, we took family pics on the porch. Planning a return trip already!

Best friends vacation

This place is the best equipped beach house. The beach was minutes away with a golf cart to get you back and forth. The private pool was amazing with plenty of chairs and an outdoor shower. We had an extra refrigerator in the garage and an ice machine. There wasn’t anything we needed that we didn’t have in the kitchen. The screened porch with a bed swing was amazing. I am a bed snob and these beds are so comfy. This is the second time I have stayed at this house. I hope to make it an annual stay. The host are the best!

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay. The home had lots of amenities, more than we actually used. Close proximity to the beach - a quick 2 min golf cart ride. The pool was nice which we used a couple of times. Love the quietness of the neighborhood, enjoyed having breakfast on the screened porch listening to the birds singing. At night you could hear the beach waves in the distance. Bed was comfy and kitchen was well appointed. Enjoyed Redfish Taco and Blue Mountain bakery nearby, plus a short drive to other restaurants. Loved that the property is pet friendly as we were able to bring our two small dogs along for a quick vacation. If we decide to visit the area again and not stay directly on the beach, we will consider this property again.

The Ultimate Beach Home!!

My wife and I, along with our dog, Boomer, ALWAYS look so forward to spending a relaxing week in this amazing property. It never disappoints!! The home itself is immaculate and laid out so conveniently. It even smells so inviting when you walk in the door that I have placed an Amazon order for the same Wallflower Plug-Ins to keep in my office at work! We thoroughly enjoy the pool area as well as the golf cart that is included with the rental. When the pool area is lit up in the evenings, it is a thing of beauty! One of my personal favorite things about the property is the large garage. That is an extremely unique plus and is the chosen spot for me to store my pier cart, sand spikes and sand flea rake. The garage also has its own ice machine! I never had to buy the first bag of ice the entire eight days we were there...and I use a LOT of ice!! This was our third or fourth time staying here and we hope to return again as soon as possible! Johnna and John (the owners) are fantastic to work with and are so very nice and accommodating! Lord willing, we will be returning there shortly!!John D.

Cannot say enough great things about this place! This is our second year in a row renting this home for vacation and it is just as amazing as the first!

The location is perfect with a short golf cart ride to the beach access & minutes from great restaurants!

Love this place!

We absolutely loved this property. The location was perfect, the space was plenty for our extended family, and the extra touches made it even better—including the heated pool, separate garage area, and golf cart. This was our first time traveling to the 30A area and the hosts provided lots of information and recommendations, which we appreciated. Thank you so much. We will absolutely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Johnna Stephens

Host profile image
We have been coming to the beautiful gulf of Mexico since we were children. As adults we both came here prior to knowing each other. Naturally, when we met, this quickly became one of our favorite spots to make memories together with our family. That's what we've been doing for over 23 yrs now. We never dreamed that one day we could own a " little piece of paradise," but that dream came true in 2010 when we bought a foreclosed property in the Seagrove Beach area, fixed it up and rented it for 3 yrs-selling it for a significant profit, we were able to buy this 1/2 acre lot in Blue Mountain Beach and began building our beach home in 2014. It was finally finished in April of 2015. We shared it with vacationers the next 4 years before we officially moved full time in August 2019. As mush as we love living here, we've decided to move about 10 min from here close to the bay and once again share this beach home with our vacationing friends.
Creating spaces that foster lifelong memory making is what we love to do. Living close, allows us to provide excellent service, quick response times for any issues that arise. We also love to help connect you with local venders that will take your vacation to nothing short of spectacular.

Why they chose this property

We have a half acre so it's private & quiet, close to the beach, restaurants and live music

What makes this property unique

If you love comfort, convenience, & quiet with a touch of luxury, you'll love staying at Toes In The Sand ll. It offers comfortable sleeping, front porch rocking, swing on front porch, watching afternoon TV on screened in porch; or reading a good book lounging on single bed swing on the screened porch away from bugs. A quick bike or golf cart ride to the beach. You'll pass by Red Fish Taco and Blue Mountain Creamery on your way to the beach. Just around the corner, dine at Blue Mable, Cow Girl Kitchen, Blue Mountain Bakery and more.
A short drive to Grayton, Seaside, Watercolor, Alys beach, Seagrove, Seacrest & Rosemary.
We are also a 10-15 min drive from Sand Destin for great shopping and dining.
