Comfortable Cottage
The Beach Retreat cottage was perfect for our family of 11. The location is perfect with an easy stroll to the beach. The privacy on Cottage Row is great. We also enjoyed the pool even a shorter walk from the house. The management group was so helpful and communicated before our trip. We will be back!

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.

Consider upgrades
We really enjoyed the property. That said, the upstairs king and the living room furniture are ready for the landfill. Kitchen needs a large skillet with a lid. Not trying to nitpick, just a couple suggestions. The little courtyard is beautiful and location near the beach is very convenient. We would definitely consider this house again! Thanks

I never wanted to leave...
This property is beautiful. Well kempt, comfortable, and clean. A very short walk to the beach made the trip even more enjoyable. The rental price was a bit steep with deposits and cleaning fees but it's a newly acquired house for the owners and I understand they need to make a profit. Overall, I'd recommend and will likely be back in the future (especially if I can catch a deal lol).
