This house was amazing. Plenty of room indoors and out. The oversize spa tub was awesome and perfect for relaxing after long walks on the beach. There were several ways to wash off your feet after being on the beach so you would not bring sand inside. The oceanside deck was perfect and very large plenty of space for everyone to relax. We were able to see dolphins and birds diving for their afternoon catch. The inside of the house was great as well plenty of room and well laid out. We will definitely choose this house on future visits to the Island. Thank you to all who was involved in making out stay wonderful. We hope to see you again soon.

This was our first visit to Dauphin Island but hopefully not our last. Toes in the Sand was perfect for our family of young adult “kids”with its three master bedrooms. We loved having a bay view on one side of the house and an ocean view on the other! The covered deck was wonderful and we loved stepping off our steps directly on to the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked and we were very comfortable. Communication with the host was great, too. Great week!

Great location for family fun. Short walk from the main public beach, nice beach out front so a couple of options. The location felt very private even though there are multiple houses around you. The large deck facing the ocean was a nice hang out spot. The house was very nice, clean and the room layout was perfect for our family. The check in experience was easy and came with multiple recommendations for food and activities. We would definitely stay here again.

We have been to dauphin Island 4 to 5 times each time we’ve selected a different property. This one “toes in the sand” will be our go to from now on. This house is stunning and great beachfront access. Beautiful views of sunrise and sunset. Our dog really loved it too. She felt right at home. Totally love this place. Oh, and they have everything you need in the kitchen.

Perfect week on the beach

My family lives all over so to have a nice place for us all to come together once a year is a blessing for me. My grandchildren absolutely loved being right on the beach. We had great meals both cooked at the house and at surroundings establishments. We had everything we needed all in one place. It was wonderful.

Beautiful location that was right on the beach. Unfortunately we paid for the hot tub use and it was not heated or cleaned. After a couple of attempts to repair, owners refunded our hot tub payment. New grill had to also be repaired. Supplies were very limited especially for eight people staying five nights. Owners were very helpful and responded quickly to our calls or texts. Owners were great to work with when having issues with the property.

Fam va ca

Overall really good just never had the spa cleaned after we paid extra for it for the week and told the property management about it but the guy never came . And some of the pictures showed suntan chairs and under the impression we would have those and was not. We had to go buy some bc we didn’t bring ours bc we thought there were some there. And some of the kitchen appliances didn’t work and some pans need to be updated bc we did a lot of cooking and had to go buy a few pans bc a lot were scratch up and things were sticking even with oil and spray. But love location and floor plan . We had a great family get together , will definitely be back to island .
