Awesome location and accomodations

Loved the proximity to restaurants and shops. I wish I had been higher up to be able to see the beach but otherwise good location. The apartment was clean. Had a few water bugs but they quickly came and sprayed. Overall was good place to stay

Great Condo

This condo was a great place to stay! It's such a great location - beachfront, across the street from the lake, and walking distance to many shops/restaurants! The beds and couch were super comfy! It was nice that bedding/towels were included in the rental! The only downsides were no big frying pan, only smaller ones but we made it work; and there was not very much counter space/food storage space - we had 3 adults and 2 children and didn't have much room to prepare meals and store food for the stay. I would definitely recommend this unit if you're looking for a nice home away from home for your beach trip!

Weekend Getaway

October is perfect time to go to the beach! Quiet, Not crowded, & perfect weather. Toes In The Sand is just as pictured! I gave it four stars-because sliding glass doors, blinds and headboard of MBR were filthy. Master mattress was not comfortable (no support & cheap). Otherwise it was a great stay.

Very convenient location to beaches and restaurants

Very lovely setting! Our friends who joined us were disappointed by the view and wished we were on a higher floor. However, we could still easily see the beach and the water, and I felt the dune blocked most of the wind for us on a windy day. One thing that was disappointing is that there were no beach chairs or beach towels in the condo. Being a beach rental, having 4 of each available should be part of the package.

Cute condo. Just as described in listing. You can see the ocean over the dunes, but cannot see the waves crashing on the sand. We knew this going in. You can hear the ocean well. Condo was clean, check in easy, we did not need to contact management during our stay, so cannot speak for communication during that time. Prior to stay, it was quick, questions were answered adequately. We were pleased with the size of rooms. Just 2 of us and our fur baby. We had plenty of room for his bed without rearranging furniture. The bed in the Main bedroom was comfy, not as firm as we prefer, but not too plushy or worn out either. Did not sleep in 2nd bedroom but mattresses felt firm to the touch. Plenty of extra pillows/blankets.Kitchen is small, but not as tight as we thought based on pictures. We were both impressed by the amount/sizes of kitchenware provided (pots, pans, utensils, gadgets, etc) Bathrooms were quite tight, so glad there were 2. Just to forewarn, the tubs are deep soakers so if you are shorter or have knee issues, be aware of this.Deck is large, you have good space to move around the furniture provided. Our only complaint is there should be more than one hand towel per bathroom and more than one kitchen towel should be provided. This condo will sleep 6 in the bedrooms alone, so one hand towel per bathroom and only one kitchen towel for any length of stay for that many people is just yuck !Beautiful sunrises. Thank you for letting us stay.

The condo was wonderful. Just as I imagined. Perfect location, easy to get to the beach and walk to restaurants. Never moved our vehicle after we arrived. The lake across the street was so nice to walk around every morning and sometimes again in the evening. On Saturday there was a great art show around the lake. The only down side was parking. We had a 1st floor and parking was not under the building like in the pictures. We had to park 1 vehicle on the street by the pool and the 2nd vehicle by the dumpster next to the walkway to the beach. Did not like that. My husband has a bad back and can't walk far. This is why we chose 1st floor not realizing that would affect the parking. Also would suggest 1 shower with handicap bars to help getting in and out of a very high tub. We did have a wonderful time though.

Condo was mostly clean but in need of a refresh. Walls need painted, furniture needs cleaned. Balcony was dingy and dirty… we did not use. Upstairs tenant were very loud and we were constantly hearing noise from above. Kitchen was well equipped and place is decorated nice, it’s just showing a lot of wear and tear.

Just what I needed

Haven’t been to beach in 10 years due to health issues for both my husband and myself. This was on my bucket list. If it’s possible to do again I will choose a handicap place. Would have made this trip even better.
