I really enjoyed my stay at the Castle in the Sand. The view of the Atlantic Ocean was phenomenal and relaxing just sitting on the balcony enjoying my coffee. I treated myself to this getaway after recently retirement. The staff were friendly and courteous by answering all my questions and concerns. In the upcoming weeks I will be going back looking forward.
