We had a very nice time at Sandy Toes, the house is accurately described and VERY well taken care of. Make sure to pay attention to the rules and don't think you will pull a fast one on the managing company, they do drive by and check.
We had 2 instances that we were contacted about during the stay-
1.) We arrived 30 mins early (4 hour trip from East Texas), we parked in the driveway and were going to change in the downstairs shower area and head to the beach so the maintenance could do his inspection. We spoke with him and he said no problem. We were texted and told to leave the property immediately so we parked across the street and waited the 30 minutes.
2) The rules say absolutely no gas grills, there is only one charcoal grill in the back area with tall grass/ mosquitos. We used our gas grills, the same day we were contacted and told to remove the grills from the property. We set them up on a trailer across the street (County Property). Luckily, there was an electric griddle in the house that we could use to cook some of our other grilling foods we brought.
3) The fire alarms go off very sporadically, I know this is due to humidity and it is mentioned in the book but they went off at several times during the night; waking the whole house up in a panic. This is our 5th year in Crystal Beach and we have never had this issue.
Overall, for the first two items we did not follow the agreed upon rules so I cannot denote stars for that. I do respect the company for setting strict rules; without them the house wouldn't be as nice and clean as it was.
We had a great experience for the most part and I would recommend this house to friends.
