We enjoyed our stay from start to finish. Check in was smooth and the house was immaculate and fully stocked with everything you could need for the week. The open concept kitchen and living room is great for multiple families and the kids loved the bunk room and game room on the third floor. The bedrooms are spacious and the beach towels were a nice perk! We won't hesitate to stay at Sandcastle Dreams again!
