First-time stay - great experience.

This was our first time working with HTH Stays. The Sandy Toes property was a great choice for us. Good beach/gulf view, fenced yard for our dog and convenient location (minutes from The Big Store and Stingaree). The beds were super comfy, the AC worked great and the house was well-appointed. The kitchen was well stocked as far as "kitchen gadgets" like whisks, knives and other cooking utensils. The HTH team was very responsive, from the moment we started our booking process to the end of our stay. There was a power outage in the neighborhood so I texted HTH. Within minutes, they had contacted the service provider and got back to us with an ETA on the power being restored. Fortunately, it was a short outage. We certainly will be looking at this house again for a future stay.

Everything was great! I wish there was more cabinet space for food . We had to leave it all on the counter top. The front door lock would stick hard to keep closed . Besides that the experience was fantastic!

Great Beach House

This was the second time staying at Sandy Toes and it was better than the first. The house is spacious enough for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. We could have had more and not been on top of each other. The house is very close to the beach and has great views of the ocean and beautiful sun rises. Very clean and well kept. The grandson thinks that it is his beach house so we will probably return next year. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful front row house

Everything about the house was 100% perfect! The online description was great. We had everything we needed. Over the top service by the management company! They communicated clearly and promptly. Before we arrived they sent an email with checkin details and even texted to make sure we received the email. After arriving they checked in to see if everything was ok. The 10am checkout was tough, but we managed and it was great to get home early. Would highly recommend this house!

Relaxing Stay

Sandy Toes was the perfect beach house for our family of 7! We had plenty space for other family members that could not make the trip! We enjoyed our stay at this beach house. The location was perfect, close to the beach, and just a golf cart ride (be sure to rent a cart! They are convenient and great for hauling everything to the beach) across the street to The Big store! The kids always enjoy shopping at The Big Store and getting their souvenirs, snacks, etc! It had all the toiletries needed as in shampoo, bar soap/body wash, etc. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed for cooking each day, and there was enough seating at the bar and table for meals. The appliances were new. The den furniture was comfy for watching movies on the large tv. The large deck outside had seating available for sipping coffee each morning, watching the sunset, and enjoying the ocean waves and breezes! Great stay and great value

Lovely home

We really enjoyed this home - it was immaculate and clean. This is clearly a new home and the finishes and overall condition was fantastic. It was also quite close to the beach, although having a golf cart made it that much more convenient. Having very close proximity to a food mart / gas station was a life saver and we used it often for miscellaneous items. The only complaint we had was that the master bedroom mattress was incredibly hard and uncomfortable. I recommend that the owner swap it out for a softer one. Otherwise, five stars.

Coronacation

During a time of uncertainty and world wide pandemic with beaches just reopening...this home was the perfect escape from the same four walls we had all been held captive to over the past several weeks. We arrived and the cleaning ladies were leaving. We did our own sanitation just for our peace of mind before bringing any of our things into the house. It was very clean upon arrival. The location is a dream. The house has Destin feels. Precious and cozy...the layout for our kids was perfect. The outdoor space is extremely accommodating; grassy area for dogs, grill, outdoor showers, covered area where we played washers and made homemade ice cream. We enjoyed our stay and made tons of memories and outbursts of laughter. During our stay our kids had distant learning, my SIL is a school teacher and my husband had Zoom meetings all day on Monday. We did have some problems with the WiFi upon arrival but, my husband messaged the owners and they responded immediately with where and how to reset the WiFi. After that, it was business as usual. The washer and dryer made our lives so much easier and the fact that our fur babies could tag along was the cherry on top. This home was one of our favorites.

Great Once Again!

This is our second time staying here and it was wonderful. The place was clean and neat, the view was great, and just steps away from the beach. We did run into a small problem (the upstairs thermostat/AC stopped working), but after sending a text, an Ops Mgr was sent out immediately and fixed the issue. They even had technicians come out to ensure everything was working properly and I was kept up to date on everything via text. That's some great service! Whenever we come to Crystal Beach, we'll always rent this place due to the amazing customer service and beautiful beach house.

Fun weekend!

Loved this beautiful home and the floor pan was perfect! The house is well decorated and had a fully equipped kitchen. The views of the beach from the patio was amazing. The beach is a short walk from the house. I would recommend bringing your own games and cards as the house doesn’t have anything for rainy days. (Not a big deal, but wanted to mention it.) The beds are very comfortable and loved having two master suites. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
