About Heels in the Sand

Heels in the Sand was recently updated with a light and bright coastal feel. The brand-new pool deck and boardwalk with Trex composite material and stainless-steel cabling make getting to your spot in the sun easier and cooler on your feet with no worries of splinters from traditional wood. A convenient shower is located on the boardwalk, making it easy to keep the sand outside! The private pool can be heated during the cooler months for a nightly pool heating fee.

The 8 bedrooms in this beautiful home are marine animal themed, and all have bathrooms attached, ceiling fans, and televisions.

Starting from the top, fourth floor, the Stingray Room has a king bed and a small private balcony, with a large shower and a spacious bathroom. The Seahorse Room has a queen bed and a tub/shower combo. The Poop Deck Room has 2 sets of twin bunk beds, and the bathroom has a shower.

The third floor has the master, the Octopus Room, with a king bed, entrance to a shared balcony with a gorgeous ocean/beach view, a jacuzzi tub, and a standalone shower with 2 separate vanities. Next is the Starfish Room with a king bed, entrance to a shared balcony, wider door making it easier for a wheelchair, stability bars around the toilet, and a stool/bench in the shower with a low curb entrance and a pedestal sink. The Sea Turtle Room has a king bed and a shower with a view of the Lagoon. The Whale Room is fun with a twin bunk as well as a queen bunk. Each bed has its own 32" smart TV.

Condo was great. Beach walkway and beach access was amazing!! Amenities not so much. Air conditioning didnt work right, charges money to use the heat for the pool, and the oven was broken. Was very disappointed the heat for the pool wasn’t included in the cost considering how much it was to rent the place during off season. Before you know it, you will be charged to use the icemaker feature on the refrigerators. If it comes with the pool, and you advertise it’s a heated pool. Don’t hide it in the fine print. And if you’re going to charge to use it, include it in the condo rent and not an “extra expense option”. That’s just my opinion and I hope if someone reads this review they will know it cost more for that. We didn’t see it until it was pointed out to us by the property manager. And then wanted us to pay for it knowing it takes days for it to reach full heat and we didn’t have that much time to wait. Personally I would not recommend this one to a friend.

The house was PERFECT for our trip! We brought our volleyball team for a tournament, and the house was exactly what we needed! Everything was clean and in great condition! We will definitely try to book this same house next year!!
