Love that it was on the ground floor, the bay and pool literally just a few steps from the patio. Definitely would stay here again when in the area.

Our stay at this Sand In My Toes condo was absolutely wonderful! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. The view of the bay and marina were nice to walk each day. The location made it so easy to enjoy the pool, beach (just a 6 min drive), great restaurants, and local attractions. We especially loved how comfortable and welcoming the pet friendly space felt—it truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Fort Walton Beach!

Very clean place. Very quiet even during spring break. The only thing I think would be nice is an actual screen and a second lock on the door. It is hard to tell if it is locked or not.

We just checked out of this very charming Sand in My Toes. The studio is tastefully decored, the bed was nice & firm and our stay was very comfortable. Great location as the beach, restaurants and the stores were all very close. We didn’t have time to use the pool but it was right outside of the back patio. We have enjoyed our stay here and can highly recommend.

Me and my wife really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable bed. Ground floor so easly to exit and walk our Micky. Only problem was nothings to do with the room, was the day after we arrived they cut the grass and the pool was dirty. Of course they was cleaning the pool the morning we was check out.

Hi. Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, if you do not put SW (Southwest) after the address (as stressed in the welcome information), this happens. So sorry that you were inconvenienced by this. We just purchased a brand new sofa bed mattress (you were the first to use it). I will certainly look into what else can be done for the comfort of future guests.
