We had a wonderful stay at Sandy Feet! The house was beautiful and had everything needed for our week long stay. The location was perfect- just a short walk to the beach & near restaurants & shopping! A perfect 10!

Thank you Kathy! You are always welcome at Sandy Feet.
This home has a great layout, is very well-equipped, nicely furnished and conveniently located. It’s difficult to find anything here that we didn’t like. This is our second stay at this home, and I suspect we will return.

Thank you so much! You are welcome at Sandy Feet any time!
We had a great time staying here! We loved the shady porch, the kitchen stocked with everything we needed, the big open kitchen/living room area, and the location near the shops and beach. The house was clean and had lots of light.
This was the third time we spent our Spring Break at Sandy Feet. We love it! We enjoyed the layout where we could all cook delicious seafood meals while visiting and watching the final four basketball. The porch is a lovely place to read. We could easily walk to the beach and ride our bikes from the home. The home is clean and comfortable! We will return soon!!!

Thank you Kristin! You are always welcome at Sandy Feet!
This is the perfect location for busy summer months. It’s a quick walk to the beach and restaurants, but far enough from the crowded areas to feel quiet and private. Gary is a great host and the check in process is very simple.
The home was clean, fresh and well stocked in the kitchen for cooking needs. Gary the owner was very easy to reach for any questions and he had great recommendations for places to visit. Very short walkable distance to the beach and some great restaurants. Absolutely will stay here again!

A quick walk to the beach and lots of great restaurants. We enjoyed the front porch for reading and relaxing. The owner was also very accommodating and very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks for a great stay.
The house was nice and clean with all the kitchen utensils needed. Gary was easy to work with and very responsive. We loved the location as it was close to the beach access and near some fantastic restaurants.

Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate you choosing Sandy Feet as your vacation home.
We like the privates baths as well.
Great Location, Loved the setup of the house. More than ample room sizes and bed options. The beach umbrellas and beach chairs with wagon were a much appreciated bonus.

We absolutely loved this house! It was .5 mile from the beach and such an easy walk to get there. Plus, there is a beach cart, chairs, boogie board, etc to take with you.
We loved the inviting front porch and chairs to sit, relax, and let time go by. The house was spacious and well-appointed. We loved too being able to bring our dogs!

House was very comfortable, very well decorated and very clean. The kitchen had everything you needed and more. The location was perfect. Plenty of room. We had an excellent stay. Will return.
Gary was easy to deal with and any questions he replied to right away. House was very clean. Also neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The walk to the beach was approximately 5 to 7 minutes. I would recommend staying here.
Thanks Gary
This location was great! The house was perfect for my family of seven. The master bedroom on the main floor was ideal for my elderly parents. The upstairs was roomy and had all the amenities needed. The front porch was a relaxing spot for afternoon reading. Would definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Gary Cornett
We're an active retired couple from Franklin, TN. In 2012 we invested in Sandy Feet, a beach home, that we can also enjoy with family and friends. Through out the years we’ve made frequent visits to Sandy Feet and have enjoyed working on and making it very special. We are located at Santa Rosa Beach, which features the most beautiful sugar sand beaches, bike paths and walking trails. An eclectic selection of restaurants are within walking distance.
Why they chose this property
We love the tucked-away feeling that the shaded Cottages of Santa Rosa Beach offer as well as the nature preserves that surround the area and the lovely beach, bike paths and small community feel. A beach access, Ed Walline, is a short walk away, or a 1 minute drive. Plus, the communities of Grayton Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach are short drives down scenic Hwy 30A. We also love the close-by restaurant selection from Stinky’s Fish Camp, The Perfect Pig, Shunk Gulley, Pecan Jacks Ice Cream and the Growler Garage to name a few. There are plenty of great restaurants along 30A.
What makes this property unique
Sandy Feet is located .4 miles from the designated Ed Walline public beach access with showers and restrooms, bike paths, as well as the unique restaurant and bar selection. But what we really love more than anything are the quiet evenings on our front porch after a walk on the beach at sunset. The sunsets on this beach are spectacular and are different every night. Brilliant oranges, pink and silver. Gorgeous!
Another thing that makes this property special is that we constantly improve and update the house inside and out, which is evident by the growing number of 5 star reviews we've earned over the years!
