Spring break escape

We stayed here for my daughter's spring break, and it was perfect. The house was clean and very well stocked. The location is nice - close to the bay to see sunsets and not too far from public beach access. Would definitely stay here again! The hosts were wonderful to work with.

Quick family get away

This was by far one of the nicest and most accommodating VRBO homes we have stayed at. I felt like I was staying at a friends home!! The home was extremely comfortable and inviting. The owner keeps it stocked with everything you would need too. The golf cart was a huge amenity. It provided ease to get to the beach and leisurely rides around the island. I definitely recommend this rental.

Relaxing stay in paradise

This property was immaculate and well-decorated. King beds in every bedroom were the most comfortable we have ever slept on while away from home. Well-stocked kitchen. Loved the decks for reading and drinking coffee. The complimentary golf cart was convenient for going to the beach. We enjoyed using the kayaks in the bay. Hosts were very responsive and thoughtful. 10/10 would stay here again.

Fantastic property

First time to the area and really enjoyed the house and the island. Super close to beach and having the golf cart was very nice. House was very clean and well stocked. Beds and chairs were comfortable, porches were great. Tv's in every room with sling so was nice to wind down and watch a show or 2 at night. Very quiet neighborhood

Sand Toe Inn was a perfect location for our couples get-a-way! Spotless accommodations with everything you could need or want. Kim was an outstanding host, going above and beyond from restaurant recommendations to gifting us with a bag of the local coffee. We've all agreed this needs to become a yearly tradition. Thank you for sharing you beautiful home on Florida's Forgotten Coast.

Beach Vacay With Friends

I cannot say enough good things about Sand Toe Inn! The owner, Kim, was so friendly and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. The house was just as promised and had plenty of space for our 7 guests to spread out! The house was tucked back in a quiet neighborhood on the Bay side, but a short drive on the golf cart had us sitting on the beach! We look forward to staying here again in the future!

SGI at its Finest!

What a great property, recently remodeled with a fantastic beach style. STI is in a great laid back location near the beautiful Apalachicola Bay and the best sunset on the Island! Not many rental homes come with a golf cart, STI has two. Having two carts is awesome; that way you can go to and from beach/bay/store/restaurants w/o everybody having to be ready at same time. The owners are great and easy to work/communicate with. Can’t wait to visit again!

Celebration

This trip was to celebrate one friend’s birthday and the other’s retirement. STI was perfect for both of us. Three porches to be outside on for different vistas allowed us to create memories. All the unique touches in the home provided a sense of place. We explored the island, often on the golf cart, looking for wildlife to photograph and experienced some wonderful moments locating some birds we hadn’t seen before. Sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. Kim was very responsive to our questions.

Amazing Hostess

This was our 10th visit to SGI, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Kim checked in with us before arrival to share details about the property and places to visit on our stay. The house smelled delicious and had all the extras that many rentals do not including cooking supplies, coffee, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. The golf cart was an added bonus, but my favorite part of the house was the screened in porch with a view of the bay. During or trip, we purchased a large picture that Kim volunteered to ship to us when we were unable to ship it from the local post office in Apalachicola. She made us feel like long time friends. The location was peaceful and the house is well maintained. It is the coziest place we've stayed on the island. We will definitely be back to STI! Kim is the best hostess around!

Sand Toe Inn

The Sand Toe Inn was everything we could have wanted for a relaxing vacation. The house is decorated beautifully with everything you need-sheets, towels, washcloths, extra supply of cleaning supplies, even lovely scented fragrance sprays for the bathrooms! The kitchen was fully stocked, with also backup pantry items such as aluminum foil, ziplocs, etc. We always bring these items, but it was a nice surprise in case there is a need. We loved the first floor porch with the safety gate for our pet, there was also plenty of room in the living area for his kennel. The outdoor shower even had toiletries for our immediate use! The house is in a nice, quiet location, not far from the beach by bike, golf cart, or even walking.. We loved everything about it! See you soon, STI!:)

Sand N Toe is even more beautiful than the pictures. With beautiful bay views from every window & porches on the front of the house. I enjoyed watching the sunset through the dining room window while having dinner cooked in the most amazing well stocked kitchen! Seafood purchased fresh on the island from Doug’s. Had to get donuts from Webber’s one morning. Totally worth the wait, but get there early! Internet connection was great even the few times it stormed. TV’s are all Smart & Got all my favorite shows. House is set up well & if you like your TV you can watch it in any room as well as while you’re cooking. Loved being able to bring my dogs & Kim had bowls, towels, and furniture covers all taken care of. Kim was an angel to work with and took care of every concern and need. Always pleasant and caring! Love her ❤️ Will definitely be back! Christina & fur babies

Perfect Location for Our Anniversary Celebration

My husband and I chose this beautiful house on St George Island for our 2nd anniversary celebration trip. We didn't need the 3 bedrooms, but booking last minute didn't offer many options and we were so glad this home became ours for our short stay on the island...great quiet location in great neighborhood. The decor of the home is absolutely gorgeous and was so my taste! Wish my personal house could look like this one and took pictures of every room to try and mimic the look back home! The attention to detail in every single room blew us away! You will feel so pampered here! The kitchen (and every other room) had everything you could possible need plus extras! The bed in the master bedroom was super comfy with incredible linens! The decks were our favorite hangouts...felt like we were in a treehouse amongst the top of the trees! Kim, the owner, was so personable and answered every question so promptly...even while we were there! Enjoyed our chats with her. She even set us up with a captain of a chartered boat for a half day of bay fishing! We totally took advantage of the provided golf cart and toured the island. Bay sunsets off the back decks were breathtaking every night! We would definitely stay here again....planning a 2025 trip with the blended family already in the works!! Thanks Kim and Dale - BEAUTIFUL HOME!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kim & Dale Hicks

Host profile image
Dale & Kim Hicks grew up in North Springs & Dunwoody Georgia both vacationing to SandDestin in the 80s, Panama City in the 90s and the beaches of South Walton - 30A during the early 2000's : Traffic, cruising, crowded beaches & long restaurant wait times..."No Fun"....We needed a change.
July 2011 - Away to St. George Island for a family summer vacation with our two boys & there was no turning back! Dealing with all of the leasing companies, we left the island often dis-appointed. We never knew for sure the true condition of the rental property until after arrival. so in 2018, we purchased & renovated a house and Sand Toe Inn became reality!
Kim manages "Sand Toe Inn" bringing her leasing background experience working at Atlanta's, Americas Mart in the late 1990’s. Dale worked in Guest Services and hospitality Leadership, for multiple luxury properties in Snowmass Colorado & Atlanta Georgia for over 10 years.
Sand Toe Inn offers some of the finest accommodations available on St. George Island where you will enjoy a warm, relaxed yet refined environment.

Why they chose this property

: Sand Toe Inn is located on the West (BEST) Side of SGI on a QUIET sandy street
: Less traffic - great for families
: Easy access for BOTH the beach & bay.
: The views of Apalachicola bay.
: Bird Watching - osprey, herons, egrets, eagles, doves, pelicans & mocking birds!

What makes this property unique


Sand Toe Inn on St George Island, is located on a quiet sandy street.
SGI is the slow paced real "Old Time Florida" we grew up on (like Destin in the 70's)
