Ready to return

Absolutely beautiful home. The layout & flow of the house was everything we didn’t know we wanted! Accommodating to us and my MIL that is elderly with dementia. She lived the house and the location and she, along with my husband and I, was not ready to leave and we are already talking about booking our next trip. We will definitely try to book this house again!

Lovely home and kitchen!

My family and I had a great time while staying here. There was an unfortunate tropical storm that derailed our specific plans, but we were glad to have such a nice kitchen and area to spend extra time in. There were a ton of board games (for kids and adults), toys, and books for little kids available. Plenty of towels etc. The kitchen was very well stocked with items and we were able to cook multiple full meals. The elevator was very helpful and worked well. I would recommend this place and would stay again!

Wonderful experience!

This trip was outstanding! The property was exactly as described. It was in great shape in every way, and everyone from 6 to 86 was perfectly comfortable. Loved that we could all be together, but also take moments out to have some quiet away from the family chaos. Soooo many places to chill - front deck, back deck, entertaining space under the house. We never felt like we were on top of one another, and there were eight of us. Plenty of space for all kinds of activities, and a great kitchen, big enough for all of us to be buzzing around in that space without fights breaking out. LOL Communication with the hosts was exceptional, and they were very generous with their time and their property. Hated to leave!

My family and I have been coming to Bolivar Peninsula for 10 years and we have always rented a different home. Sandy Feet Retreat has been our favorite home we have stayed in so far! It is very roomy with comfortable beds, plenty of seating on the porches, easy access to the beach, and beautiful views!! We will definitely be staying here again!! The hosts were also very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had.
