We took my son and his friends down for a quick trip before graduation this Saturday! They had a blast! Plenty to do even on the rainy day! We had no issues except trying to figure out the lock on front door! Anything we had issue with or needed in general was resolved in a very timely manner! Prashant was very helpful and accommodating! We’ll for sure be back! Sad to go! Until next time! Xoxo

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad your son and his friends had such a fun graduation trip and that the home helped make the celebration memorable — even with the rainy weather.
We also appreciate your patience with the front door lock and are happy we could quickly help whenever needed. It truly means a lot to hear that you felt well taken care of throughout your stay.
We’d absolutely love to host you all again in the future. Safe travels home, and congratulations to your graduate!

Hey Lawson, thank you for staying at our beautiful house! Our backyard is many guests' favorite part! With the relaxing heated pool, stellar pickleball court, and the various other games and items for fun like corn hole and a few pool floaties, Sand Castle's back yard is almost irresistible! Come again, Vacazee.
We had a wonderful time at the Sandcastle. We enjoyed the pool, pickleball court and convenient walk to the beach. We had a few issues that were immediately resolved by Nadia and Elaina, which we greatly appreciated.

Hi Joanne, We appreciate your review. Yes, our team is very fast at responding to problems, and I'm glad you appreciated that service. Come again, Vacazee.
Everything was great. We were only a few blocks from a great public beach, easily walkable. We also had everything we needed in the house. The place was very clean and we will definitely go back! Thanks for everything!

Sand castle is a beautiful place for a beach trip, Nicole. Glad to see that you enjoyed our beach house! Visit one of our properties soon!
The house had everything we needed for a great vacation. Could use updated living area furniture. And the game room didn’t have any chairs for gamers, and none of the bedrooms had dressers. We lived out of suitcases for 10 days. Pool was small but perfect for us. Could use a shaded area in backyard. But I would definitely stay again.
