The beach house is nicely laid out with a big kitchen, comfy beds, and the elevator was great since one of us had mobility issues. The host was helpful and responded quickly when we had questions. The only thing we didn’t like was the fact that there was no view, but that wasn’t the host’s fault. We knew beforehand that that was the case, but we had to have a rental with an elevator. The games were fun and nice to have there.

My family and I have been coming to Bolivar Peninsula for 10 years and we have always rented a different home. Sandy Feet Retreat has been our favorite home we have stayed in so far! It is very roomy with comfortable beds, plenty of seating on the porches, easy access to the beach, and beautiful views!! We will definitely be staying here again!! The hosts were also very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Rhyno and Andrea Morgan

Host profile image
We are parents to 8 kids and now 2 grandkids, 3 dogs, a cat, a large fish tank, and even two turtles! We absolutely love the beach and tranquility of the ocean. From the first time we came to Crystal Beach, we knew we had to have a home here, and we absolutely love sharing it with guests when we are not down here! We have made some many memories with our family and friends and hope you do as well!!

Why they chose this property

This is not just another rental property, this is our Home and we decorated it to our tastes, not just a commercial look. We have taken every room one by one and made it a room we would want our own family to sleep in, so every bed, every blanket and every pillow were the same type we use for us as well. We keep it extremely clean and very well maintained and constantly figuring out to upgrade it for both your comfort and ours!

What makes this property unique

We are only 800 feet out the back door to the beach, and we also have two large decks for hosting family, as well as a big tiki bar area with a propane fire pit for smores and also tons of games for everyone! We also boast having an elevator for those that the stairs are just to much for! (or really heavy luggage!!)
