Hello! We’re Kara & Michael.
We’ve been visiting Gulf Shores for 20 years, and it was always our dream to own a place here and share our love of this “Small Town, Big Beach” community with other families.

We created Sand Castle Stays in honor of our four boys — Sutton, Alden, Nolan, and Dawson — and designed our condo with families in mind, just as we would for our own.

We’re Michigan natives and proud Spartan alumni (Go Green!), and we love all things water — salted and unsalted alike. We look forward to welcoming your family and hosting you with the same care, comfort, and attention we’d give our own.
