Fabulous for Family Reunion
We rented both Castle in the Sand East and West for our family reunion vacation. It was perfect for 30 of us and worked well for all ages, from 6 months to 80! The house is well-equipped with kitchen equipment, dishes, etc. There are a great assortment of bedroom types with Kings for couples, bunkrooms for kids and twin rooms for older siblings to share. The owner was very responsive when we had a small issue. The houses are nicely furnished with large sitting areas and dining tables, so we had plenty of room for everyone from both houses to eat together in one house. Great location with plenty of beach space for your group without bumping into others from nearby condo units,

Goit stay
Beautiful property, several of the bedroom doors catch on the floor tiles, are difficult to open, probably should be planed down a bit. Well equipped kitchens.
