The unit was very clean and well equipped and the decor was really cute and beachy. The beach at this location was not crowded and we were close to restaurants and shopping. The property managers are very personable and helpful. A true pleasure!

Loved the proximity to restaurants and shops. I wish I had been higher up to be able to see the beach but otherwise good location. The apartment was clean. Had a few water bugs but they quickly came and sprayed. Overall was good place to stay

This condo was a great place to stay! It's such a great location - beachfront, across the street from the lake, and walking distance to many shops/restaurants! The beds and couch were super comfy! It was nice that bedding/towels were included in the rental! The only downsides were no big frying pan, only smaller ones but we made it work; and there was not very much counter space/food storage space - we had 3 adults and 2 children and didn't have much room to prepare meals and store food for the stay. I would definitely recommend this unit if you're looking for a nice home away from home for your beach trip!

Haven’t been to beach in 10 years due to health issues for both my husband and myself. This was on my bucket list. If it’s possible to do again I will choose a handicap place. Would have made this trip even better.

Very lovely setting! Our friends who joined us were disappointed by the view and wished we were on a higher floor. However, we could still easily see the beach and the water, and I felt the dune blocked most of the wind for us on a windy day. One thing that was disappointing is that there were no beach chairs or beach towels in the condo. Being a beach rental, having 4 of each available should be part of the package.

October is perfect time to go to the beach! Quiet, Not crowded, & perfect weather. Toes In The Sand is just as pictured! I gave it four stars-because sliding glass doors, blinds and headboard of MBR were filthy. Master mattress was not comfortable (no support & cheap). Otherwise it was a great stay.

We had a great time visiting the beach here. This property is a great location, easy walk to restaurants while also being in a quiet spot on the beach and nice lake behind it. Easy check in and clean too

Perfect location–beachfront and walking distance to everything else you need/want to do. The porch is huge with a picture perfect view, easily our favorite part of the property. The interior is very clean and there is a roomy storage unit on the ground floor for all of your beach necessities. 10/10 would highly recommend.

The place was nice but much smaller in person. There was a loud barge directly across from unit that had bright lights on all night. The bright lights at the pool also made it bright in bedroom and porch. Pool so small not worth going to. I went for quiet and darkness on the water. So this place was a huge disappointment. I just wanted to hear the ocean and see the stars. Thought paying extra to be on beach would provide that. Nope. Not a lot of privacy either. People on deck next to us a lot and no barrier between. I'd recommend them out a light barrier curtain on side of deck to block that light and other deck. Like I said though. The place itself was nice. Only 3 rolls of toilet paper for a week and no laundry soap-fyi. All other things provided.

Overall we loved our stay at Toes in the Water! The condo is well kept and cozy! The only critisms is that the kitchen could use some more essentials for cooking and door stoppers to prevent pinched fingers would be helpful, but other than that, its wonderful! We will have to return when the pool is open to get the full experience.
