Great view of the beach from the room, and the host was super helpful. Family walked to dinner twice as we were very close to several places. We used the pool every day and the covered spaces were perfect to sit and chat .

We stayed for a week and had an amazing experience. The room was spotless and felt welcoming from the moment we walked in. There were even little frogs we found around the place! Waking up to the beach view every morning was unforgettable, peaceful, bright and absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be coming back again!

Everything was perfect! Listing and pictures were exactly what we found when we arrived. No check in desk hassle or separate location to get parking passes. Door code was sent directly to me when condo was ready. The unit was clean and smelled nice. The view from the balcony was beautiful. I enjoyed my morning coffee watching the sun rise and our evening meals as evening fell over the ocean. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing a couple of meals. I was thrilled the refrigerator had an ice maker! Plenty of wash rags, bath towels, and hand towels for our showers. Unit was easy to access near several good restaurants. Ty was very responsive to my questions about the unit and local area. Overall a wonderful, relaxing trip. I will definitely stay at Castaways again if it’s available.

Stayed for 3 nights with my daughters. The condo was exactly as described, comfortable, clean, great view, and all that we needed. The pool was nice and accessible, beach access couldn’t be easier, and located near lots of restaurants and shops. We’ll definitely consider coming back.
