The house is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you need including a great view of the beach. For a second row home, you really cannot beat the view/access to the beach-so convenient! We very much enjoyed our time on the beach during the week, but come the weekend it was no longer a very family friendly place. We were felt out of place and uncomfortable with the MANY people on the beach displaying vulgar political flags, people blaring their music with no consideration of others, and people with off leash dogs who allowed their animals to defecate IN the water. The "icing on the cake" for my husband's birthday was the live concert (with full sound system) that took place outdoors in the rental house next to ours. Ocean Properties kindly provided us with the Sheriff's phone number which we had to use. Although we would absolutely like to stay in this beautiful house again, we will not be back. Crystal Beach is not for us.

What a wonderful experience! This house is exactly as advertised. Two king suites was perfect for our group of 7-including three teens. The view from both porches is excellent and we even saw a few fireworks from the porch. It really is a short walk to the beach which was great for our group (included two seniors). We could see our family members,who were at the beach, from the front porch. The house has everything you will need and the best one we have stayed at in our 17 years of renting properties! If you have dogs or small children, the enclosed decks, small back yard, and covered parking area is perfect. Also, there was a water hose in the covered parking area which was great for washing off sandy beach chairs, etc. Beds are comfy and the air is cold. You won't regret booking this home. I hope we have the chance to return.

We had a very nice time at Sandy Toes, the house is accurately described and VERY well taken care of. Make sure to pay attention to the rules and don't think you will pull a fast one on the managing company, they do drive by and check. We had 2 instances that we were contacted about during the stay- 1.) We arrived 30 mins early (4 hour trip from East Texas), we parked in the driveway and were going to change in the downstairs shower area and head to the beach so the maintenance could do his inspection. We spoke with him and he said no problem. We were texted and told to leave the property immediately so we parked across the street and waited the 30 minutes. 2) The rules say absolutely no gas grills, there is only one charcoal grill in the back area with tall grass/ mosquitos. We used our gas grills, the same day we were contacted and told to remove the grills from the property. We set them up on a trailer across the street (County Property). Luckily, there was an electric griddle in the house that we could use to cook some of our other grilling foods we brought. 3) The fire alarms go off very sporadically, I know this is due to humidity and it is mentioned in the book but they went off at several times during the night; waking the whole house up in a panic. This is our 5th year in Crystal Beach and we have never had this issue. Overall, for the first two items we did not follow the agreed upon rules so I cannot denote stars for that. I do respect the company for setting strict rules; without them the house wouldn't be as nice and clean as it was. We had a great experience for the most part and I would recommend this house to friends.

We had a really great stay at Sandy Toes! The house was in immaculate condition when we arrived with a very easy check-in procedure. All of the basics you could need are included with the property, and the spaces worked perfectly for our needs. The one minor issue that we had was addressed very quickly by the very responsive management team. We will definitely be back here again!

We enjoyed our 3rd stay in Sandy Toes over Spring Break. We keep coming back because the house is perfect for small groups and we love the proximity to the beach. Location is perfect. It is always clean and comfortable and never disappoints.
