    Set directly on the ocean in a quiet residential stretch of Daytona Beach Shores, Sand Castle offers both privacy and luxury for your next gathering of family and friends. This 8,000 square foot oceanfront home has room for everyone to spread out, with a main house, a private guest house and an oceanfront deck with steps leading down to the beach. Less than a 5 minute walk away, Frank Rendon Park features a fun playground right on the beach for the kids. Just a 7 minute walk away, The Shores Resort and Spa offers a full-service spa along with multiple restaurants and lounges. The peaceful neighborhood keeps evenings quiet, and the rest of Daytona Beach's dining and attractions are just a short drive away.

    As you approach the home and pass the detached garage, you'll wind along a bricked path into a lovely bricked courtyard surrounded by lush landscaping. You'll feel the weight of the world lift off your shoulders as you follow the courtyard and enter this luxurious mansion. The open floor plan lets the Atlantic Ocean greet you from the moment you walk in, with grand floor to ceiling windows lining the back of the home.

    To the right of the entrance is a fun lounge space with a blue sofa and a large TV, perfect for gaming. A full bathroom sits between the lounge and the game room. The game room features fun décor, LED rope lighting along the ceiling, and a multi-functional game table that converts between pool and air hockey for hours of fun.

    Walking forward from the front doors, you'll be greeted by a gorgeous open family room with a grand linen sectional, a large decorative telescope and an HD Smart TV. The family room also includes an office space overlooking the ocean and a queen sleeper sofa. To the left of the family room is a formal living room with cozy seating and ocean views, a lovely spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

    Adjacent to the living room is the oceanfront dining room, where a sprawling, gorgeous dining table lets the entire group dine together. The fully remodeled kitchen sits next to the dining area, with all new appliances, bar stool seating, and everything you need for cooking. The laundry room and a half bathroom are just past the kitchen. Beyond the laundry room is the first guest bedroom, with a king bed, a Smart TV and a private entrance to the bricked courtyard. This is the only bedroom on the first floor.

    Near the entrance, a grand staircase leads to the second floor. On the left is the oceanfront primary suite, a retreat within a retreat with a king bed, an HD Smart TV and a sitting area. The adjoining primary bathroom has two separate vanities, a spacious walk-in shower and a large walk-in closet.

    Three more guest bedrooms and a full bathroom are also on the second floor of the main house. One guest bedroom has a queen bed and a Smart TV. Another has ocean views, a Smart TV and a king bed. The last guest bedroom on this level has ocean views, a Smart TV and two sets of twin over twin bunk beds. This bunk room has glass French doors instead of a traditional bedroom door, so it's best suited for tiny travelers. The full guest bathroom on this level includes a walk-in shower.

    Stroll back across the bricked courtyard and up the exterior staircase to the private guest house above the detached garage. Its outdoor balcony and sitting area look out over the main house to the ocean waves beyond. Inside, the guest house has a large living room with a queen Murphy bed and a Smart TV, a full-size, fully stocked kitchen, and a dining area. It also has two identical bedrooms, each with a king bed, a Smart TV and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Grandparents have been known to seek refuge in this peaceful guest house!

    Back through the bricked courtyard, an extended bricked path along the side of the home leads to your private oceanfront deck. The sprawling deck includes an outdoor dining area for oceanfront meals with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, and beach steps lead from the backyard down to the sand.

    While this home has ample parking, we do not allow any trailers or recreational vehicles to be parked on-site. We can refer you to an off-site parking company upon request. Three vehicles, or the motorcycle equivalent, can park in the garage. Up to 2 additional vehicles can park in the driveway. This means guests can have up to 5 vehicles at the home, or the motorcycle equivalent.

    Items of note: To reach the beach steps from the back patio, guests must walk across a sloped grassy area and then step up onto the beach steps. This may be somewhat challenging for those with limited mobility. There is also a decorative balcony on the second floor of the main house facing the ocean. It cannot be accessed because it is only decorative. We don't advertise an oceanfront balcony in the listing, but we like to make sure guests are aware since they may notice it when they arrive.

It was the perfect amount of space for our large family and we loved waking up to the sound of the waves every morning. The home was beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and sofas. The pool room and game room are great touches and provided entertainment for all. I loved that check-out wasn’t extensive as some we’ve stayed in. I do feel the home would really benefit from a hot tub on the deck, as it was very cold a few of the days of our stay and would have been nice to have. We would book again in the future for our family gatherings.

We had a great time, the house is great for a large party. The unobstructed panoramic view off the back porch to the ocean is beautiful. But, this house could use those final touches which have to mentioned in pervious reviews. You'll definitely want to bring all of your toiletries especially important for those traveling with limited luggage. They only provide a bar of soap and thin towels.

The host was amazing and it was easy to communicate with them prior to check in! The beach view was beautiful. Kitchen was stocked and organized and the living room was nice and specious. Pool table and pong table provided hours of fun. Our only issue was the toilets periodically not flushing and due to it being a holiday, I chose not to put in an emergency call. Everyone used the master and downstairs bathrooms. The door handle in the in-law suite came apart and I again chose not to call because it was an easy fix for us to do. I am sure they would have fixed the problems but our booking was over a weekend and went into a holiday weekday. Overall it was a great house and location.

Great family stay!!

There were 15 of us staying at the house for 5days and we loved it! Being on the beach was definitely the highlight of our stay. The house was clean, the managers were in contact with us and very responsive to anything we needed. The house is older but they have done a pretty good job of remodeling and updating. And the decor is super cute. Thank you for such a great stay! It was a very relaxing vacation in much needed warmth!!!

Beautiful huge house

We had a family reunion and had a great stay. Kitchen was well stocked to make meals for 14-20 people. The view was spectacular. There’s some external repairs going on but inside the house was impecable. The beds were all nicely decorated and ver comfortable. Will likely try to return every year.

Family reunion

The house was a perfect choice for our family reunion. There were a few minor issues but they were resolved almost immediately. The best location, the best beaches, and the amenities are abundant. The only thing we wish for is direct access to the beach, but we managed. Would definitely return to this house for our next reunion.

A Slice of Heaven

Great property right on the water for larger groups. The open concept first floor is amazing - guests can hang out together or break up into smaller groups as desired. The game room was very popular as well. Conveniently located, the property is five minutes from grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.. While there wasn't much sun during our visit, the views of the ocean were still amazing. Access to the beach was easy as well. Thanks in large part to this property, we had a great time during our visit!

The host was very responsive before our stay. We had no issues while we were there. They even had spices in the cabinet and most vacation rentals never have that. We had plenty of dishwasher pods, washing pods for clothes. Plenty of paper towels. Only need your own shampoo and conditioner along with more trash bags. But other than that lets talk about the view from this beach house! It was AMAZING! We really enjoyed staying here. There was plenty of room for all of us, and we had a good size group! Also relaly enjoyed hearing the waves at all times. If your looking for a great location with unimaginable views this is the place! We were here for bike week 2026 and it wasnt loud staying here even though there were motorcycles everywhere. Great location! We will definitely be staying here again! I highly recommend.

Graduation from Palmer

Great home and awesome time. We just misssed the hurricane but our weather was awesome. It's such a fun area and great to be able to put on your trunks and walk the beach or go in for a nice morning wake me up. We did have a plane delay and the host was gracious enough to give us a few more hours at the home as we waited for our flights to get unscrambled. Thank you.

Family Time

The 4 star rating was because there were spiderwebs and dust on the cabinet against the wall in the living room. Who builds a beach house with no towel bars in the master bathroom? Your online listing picture showed the level beach right up to the patio. It did NOT show the big drop-off to get to the beach--very disappointing for elderly guests and transporting beach gear. We did like the long dining table. We did enjoy our family stay.

Family Birthday Celebration

We rented this property to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. The inside pictures of the house in the listing are accurate. The beach is gorgeous. The back of the house was a construction site. The deck was in the middle of being replaced, half of it was finished while the other half was bare. This made it uneven and easy to trip. There were also pavers lined up on both sides of the deck. The path down to the beach IS NOT a gentle slope, it is steep, and difficult to navigate up and down. Certainly not easy or safe for an 80 year old. The A/C was also not working, which we unfortunately found out our last night when the temperature outside warmed up. The fire pit is also unusable and unfixable. Although the location is beautiful this house needs many repairs and updates.

The place was nice. It had the best view of the ocean and most beautiful sunrises ever morning. It’s just a few steps to the beach. Wish they would have been access to upper balcony. Sitting on elevated balconies is one thing my wife and I look forward to when visiting Florida. We had to have maintenance in and out multiple times for different repairs and still never got ice maker working. Beds were very comfortable mother in law suite is very nice set up. We recommend the river Grill for some great shrimp and gator bites and if you like peeking duck the Rice Bristo is an awesome place.
