St. Lucia Paradise!!!
We had an absolutely amazing time in St Lucia, it was definitely the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. Most vacations I still end up working as the mom. This time I sat on my lounger and food and drinks were brought to me! The maid even washed and put away any dishes we used in the villa. The Windjammer had plenty of things to do to keep everyone entertained. The water sports, the activities they had going on at the beach, snorkeling, the beautiful beach and pool….everything was as wonderful as we had hoped it would be! The Windjammer staff was AMAZING. Everyone went above and beyond to accommodate and make sure we were having a great vacation. We particularly noticed this eating with our very picky 9yo daughter. The staff would get her whatever she wanted, even if it wasn’t on the menu! Our only negative the whole trip was probably the transfer from airport to the resort (and then back to airport). The roads in St Lucia are hilly and winding, and the people of St Lucia drive…..fast and bumper to bumper! One of the kids felt car sick each trip unfortunately. And the ride to the airport at the end of the trip we waited 45 minutes after they told us to be in the lobby before we were picked up. If we visited again we’d consider either a water taxi or booking directly through the Windjammer for private transfer. We saw a lot of people using the Windjammer for transfer and talking about how the driver was able to stop whenever they needed which would be nice for the kids when they felt car sick. Otherwise we were in paradise!!!! Thank you for helping us have the most beautiful and relaxing vacation! We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Highly Recommend Karen!
We had never traveled Internationally before and with 3 kids it felt overwhelming. We knew we wanted to book an all inclusive Caribbean vacation but the amount of options were overwhelming. We’d never worked with a travel agent before but we talked to a few before settling on working with Karen. Karen answered all our questions and took everything we were looking for into account when showing us option. We felt like she really heard us and understood exactly what we were looking for! It was so nice to have someone look at flights and worry about all the little details like transfers from the airport etc. Karen kept us updated about any flight changes (even though it was minor), gave us an overview of the resort before we arrived and we knew she was readily available to answer any questions or problems we encountered ( which were none bc she planned everything so expertly). We will not hesitate to use Karen again in the future, you can rest assured she will take care of all the details so that you can just relax and enjoy your vacation!
Best deals that fit my budget!
I don’t plan my own travel anymore—Karen does it all for me. I’m way too busy to be searching for flights and hotels, and honestly, I don’t have the patience for it. I just tell her where I need to go and when, and she takes care of everything.
She always finds the best deals that fit my budget, and somehow still makes the whole trip smooth and easy. Flights, hotels, rental cars—whatever I need, she’s on it. I never have to worry about the details.
Karen just gets how I travel and what works for me, which makes things super simple. I don’t even think about it anymore—I just let her handle it. If you’re like me and don’t have time to mess with travel planning, I highly recommend working with her.
Stress-free Planning!
I work in healthcare and don’t have time to plan anything—especially not a bachelorette party with girls flying in from all over the country. Karen handled everything for us: flights, the cutest Airbnb, transportation, even a beach picnic and welcome bags with hangover kits 😂
All we had to do was show up and have fun. She kept us on budget and made the whole thing stress-free. 10/10 recommend her for any girl’s trip or special event. She seriously made me look like the most organized bridesmaid ever!
Trip to Aruba
This was my first time using a travel agent, and I honestly didn’t know where to start planning our family trip to Aruba. Flights, accommodations, the right sleeping setup for four—it was all overwhelming. But Karen at Sandy Toes Excursions made it so easy! 🙌
She handled every detail with care, from finding the best flights to booking accommodations that were perfect for our family. She was incredibly personable, thorough, and patient with my 100+ questions—never made me feel like a bother.
What really blew me away were the little touches: she checked in before our trip to make sure we felt prepared and excited, and even sent a sweet welcome home email to see how everything went. That level of care and attention? You just don’t get that booking on your own.
I’m already dreaming about the next trip—and I know exactly who I’m calling to help plan it. Thank you, Karen! 💛🌴
First International Trip
This was our first international trip to the Bahamas. Karen went above and beyond to guide us through getting our passports and answering questions we had while abroad. I highly recommend using a travel planner. Karen was able to negotiate a free honeymoon upgrade for us, as well as helped with planning photography and activities. This allowed us to enjoy our time tailored to us and within our budget. Thanks!
