Would recommend pest control, as we did have some cockroaches.
Alison A. - Stayed: 12/3/2025

Thank you for the feedback, we will pass this along to the owner and contact pest control.

Hope to see you in the future!

We have rented this house four times and love it everytime! The views are amazing and there is plenty of room of the whole family. There’s an extra area with a couch for the kids to hang out as well.

In short, this is a terrific vacation beach house. The floor plan is set up nicely to take advantage of the great ocean and sunset views. This was our second year here and there have never been any issues or disappointments.

This home had lots of room for our family. Very convenient location to beach, restaurants, and shops. Great sunrise and ocean views from all rooms of the house. Love the big windows the the living space to view the ocean. Hot tub was great in the evenings while listening to the ocean.

Great views of the beach and waves from both the 2nd and 3rd floor decks.
It was nice having 2 masters on the upper floor.
The walk in showers in 3 of the 4 bathrooms were nice for those with issues stepping up
into a tub/shower combo. And there was still 1 tub/ shower combo for people with younger kids.

We brought our dog along and had a rotating family, up to 4 couples. The layout of the rooms, all oceanfront, with individual bathrooms, was perfect. Spacious, clean, great layout, perfect location.

Sand Castle is a great house for a large family. The smaller living area downstairs gave extra space for our kids to enjoy time to htemselves. The beach access way is a short walk. The house is on the northern end of island and I enjoyed being away from lots of traffic. Very close proximity to a grocery store and Walmart.

You cannot beat the location of this house to the beach, literally you step off the last step and onto the sand! Will stay again just for the location!

I really enjoy my stay at this home. It allows tons of room for your whole family. The house being on the ocean there is nothing that can beat that. There are multiple TVs throughout the house which is nice if people want to watch tv. The hot tub looking out onto the ocean it's literally like a fairytale. I would rent this house over and over again.

Wonderful home and location. The hot tub on the lower deck was a big hit when it rained for our first 3 days there. Loved having balcony access to the deck from all the bedrooms!
