The house was beautiful! Great beach view, plenty of room, we had 6 adults and four small children, three floors was perfect for us. grocery store was a very short walk, so much to do and lots of great restaurants near. We had the best family vacation and plan to book this home again.

Thank you, Patricia! We're delighted to hear you and your family enjoyed the beautiful view and spacious layout. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic vacation soon!

Enjoyable, pleasant accommodations, ready assistance as needed. Acceptably clean and well appointed. We had all we needed except the splashpad did not turn on. A maintenance was offered, but we didn’t think it could be in time. Thomas’ Donuts everyday! Like one block. Carousel is a few more blocks but walkable. Incidentally, steaks there cannot be beat! We are taking some home for the freezer and a special occasion. The beach is easily walkable but we are too lazy. Golf cart would have been perfect. The unit is three stories, but there are two bedrooms and full bath on the first floor for yaya and poppy, so we did fine. Yes, we would choose Sandcastle again.

The Sandcastle was perfect for a spring break getaway with extended family. Close to the beach, grocery store, and local restaurants. Plenty to do on site and close to so many things…there was something to do for all ages (we had kids 14-22).

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful and spacious. It was convenient to the beach and the local grocery store was a very nice addition. This is a great home if you don't mind being off the beach a little and away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy strip.
donna - Posted: 6/3/2024

Thank you, Donna, for your kind words. We're glad you found the house and spacious, and that you appreciated the convenience of the nearby grocery store. Hope to host you again soon!
