Wonderful home

This home has a great layout, is very well-equipped, nicely furnished and conveniently located. It’s difficult to find anything here that we didn’t like. This is our second stay at this home, and I suspect we will return.

Great House!

We spent last year's spring break at this house and we booked to stay again this year. We had a wonderful time! The house is clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are comfortable. We love the open floor plan. We all took turns cooking using the well-stocked kitchen and the charcoal grill in the back of the house. We enjoyed reading on the shaded front porch. The location is a short walk to the beach and to some restaurants. With our own bikes we hopped on the bike path that goes right by the house. We will definitely return!

Wonderful summer getaway

This is the perfect location for busy summer months. It’s a quick walk to the beach and restaurants, but far enough from the crowded areas to feel quiet and private. Gary is a great host and the check in process is very simple.

Great location close enough to beach and shops

Gary was great host. Our group needed more parking and he had a plan for that. Quiet neighborhood just off a county road that has a great walking sidewalk to beach, and shops and restaurants. Kitchen has all the amenities for cooking just about anything. Great floor plan for 2 families as 2 bedrooms are basically master, plus 3rd bedroom and upstairs living room can sleep kids. Living area downstairs accommodated the 6 of us for meals and hanging out. Definitely will consider next trip to 30A!

A Santa Rosa Beach Delight

We haven't been to Santa Rosa Beach in a few years, and the area has certainly grown busier. The house was perfectly located to walk to restaurants and shops as well as the beach without having to jump into the crowds. When the house needed some emergency care, Gary was attentive and immediately resolved the unexpected repair. The space was just right for our family, with comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Sandy Feet was delightful.

Perfect Property

We travel to Santa Rosa Beach every year (20 years) and we were very impressed with this property. It was very clean, spacious and had all of the amenities that we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked for any type of cook. We rented bikes and the path to the beach and Gulf Place was easy and accessible. The neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely consider staying in this property again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property.

This location was great! The house was perfect for my family of seven. The master bedroom on the main floor was ideal for my elderly parents. The upstairs was roomy and had all the amenities needed. The front porch was a relaxing spot for afternoon reading. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing Place

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Sandy Feet. The cleanliness of the property was amazing. The location, while a little ways from the beach, is extremely close to plenty of eating and shopping. Gary was super communicative and we kept in constant contact to work through an AC issue. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and we would recommend this location for your next family/friends vacation.

A very convenient and comfortable cottage near the beach.

Three family units came together for a wonderful week at SRB. Plenty of room , walking distance to the beach. Rented bikes to explore 30A right near the beach, Loved the beautiful beach, white sand, lots of sand fleas, miniature clams and seaweed to make the ocean a wonderful experience. Showers available at parking lot to rinse off sand and sweat. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. We will be back.!!

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Sandy Feet. The photos don’t do this property justice! Spacious home with beautiful decor and immaculately clean. It was equipped with every supply you can think of - kitchen supplies, extra towels and linens, games and puzzles, and some beach gear. The location was quiet and good for riding bikes or walking to the beach and nearby shops and restaurants. Would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Cornett

Host profile image
We're an active retired couple from Franklin, TN. In 2012 we invested in Sandy Feet, a beach home, that we can also enjoy with family and friends. Through out the years we’ve made frequent visits to Sandy Feet and have enjoyed working on and making it very special. We are located at Santa Rosa Beach, which features the most beautiful sugar sand beaches, bike paths and walking trails. An eclectic selection of restaurants are within walking distance.

Why they chose this property

We love the tucked-away feeling that the shaded Cottages of Santa Rosa Beach offer as well as the nature preserves that surround the area and the lovely beach, bike paths and small community feel. A beach access, Ed Walline, is a short walk away, or a 1 minute drive. Plus, the communities of Grayton Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach are short drives down scenic Hwy 30A. We also love the close-by restaurant selection from Stinky’s Fish Camp, The Perfect Pig, Shunk Gulley, Pecan Jacks Ice Cream and the Growler Garage to name a few. There are plenty of great restaurants along 30A.

What makes this property unique

Sandy Feet is located .4 miles from the designated Ed Walline public beach access with showers and restrooms, bike paths, as well as the unique restaurant and bar selection. But what we really love more than anything are the quiet evenings on our front porch after a walk on the beach at sunset. The sunsets on this beach are spectacular and are different every night. Brilliant oranges, pink and silver. Gorgeous!

Another thing that makes this property special is that we constantly improve and update the house inside and out, which is evident by the growing number of 5 star reviews we've earned over the years!
