This place was the perfect spot for the whole family to get together. Such easy beach access and the kids loved the pool and playing in the large living room. Amazing sunset views from the two huge porches. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a house big enough to fit the whole family!
The Sandcastle was a wonderful place to stay close to the beach. The house was extremely spacious and clean. Teenagers had their own space and rooms. Lots of decks plus the pool area to enjoy the outdoors. The beach was just a few minutes walk. A great family getaway!
This was a perfect home to spend our week in St. Augustine! The views from this house are incredible and only steps away from the beach itself! The distance to downtown St. Augustine was about 15 minutes, which made the neighborhood nice and quiet as its away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. Property management was very prompt in responding to questions!
The Sandcastle is a lovely large home that accommodated our family group of 10 adults and two kiddos nicely. All the rooms are nice although the garage level room is cold and dark with no bathroom. Also, there were full size sheets on this bed instead of queen size for a queen bed, which made them come off often during the night. The kitchen was large enough with most everything we needed. Our favorite areas of the home were the two outdoor decks with comfortable furniture overlooking the ocean and gorgeous sunrise views! A couple of cons are no bath soaps in any of the bathrooms and the BBQ grill was badly in need of cleaning. My husband spent a half hour cleaning it for our use. There were plenty of beach towels as well as beach items such as chairs, and pool toys. The pool was great and clean as the pool guys showed up the same day we arrived. The home is an easy walk thru a dune trail to the beach. P.S. There was also a baby highchair, child gates, games, Foo's ball table (needs leveling), kid games, and books. The nightly rate was high, and some things should be worked on, but overall, our family really enjoyed the home.
This was a wonderful place to stay which only added to our great experience coming to the area for the first time! I would recommend this place most definitely!
We enjoyed our stay at the Sand Castle! The pool and living spaces were a hit with our family. The beach view is great, and it’s on a quiet residential street. The only negative about the house is where the bathrooms are located. We made it work but have seen better layouts. The property management group communicated very well with us. All in all, we enjoyed it and would stay there again.
Great property! Very well equipped. We had 14 people and we had plenty of room for everyone. We never felt crowded. The owners were very thoughtful providing games and toys for the kids and a very well stocked kitchen. Plus beach towels and floats, etc. The view from both decks was amazing. Highly recommend this home!
The house was awesome and in great shape. The views were even better then expected. The house is conveniently located to restaurants, etc. Can't wait to go back
Beautiful property just a short walk to the beach.Gorgeous view of the ocean and sunrise from the upper deck.I would have given 5 stars, however, we had no hot water for the duration of our stay. The property management company was not very responsive when reported.Still highly recommended.
Beautiful time staying at this property. We loved catching up with family sitting on the deck listening to the sounds of the waves. Quiet neighborhood great for walking. The beach was perfect with only a few others enjoying the sand and surf.
This house was very comfortable for my family and me to stay in for a weekend getaway. We each had our own space and it was able to accommodate 9 people comfortably. The bathroom situation is a little odd. There are three bathrooms, but two are in bedrooms. There is no bathroom on the entry level.
We are a group of six women who have been doing our trips for 32 years. This property had everything we look for when planning a fun trip. We loved all of the indoor and outdoor areas we had to congregate. Wonderful house and wonderful trip.
This house was perfect for a group of moms getting together for the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools, the beds were really comfortable, the living area and spaces were set up nicely for group chats and hang outs, the beach access was close, and everything was thought of (from ice, to toilet paper and soap). Fantastic Host, Fantastic House!
Great location and view. Balconies, kitchen/equipment outstanding. Great place for toddlers in spite of stairs- gates are in closet. Plenty of child toys and games. Best beach with access via walk across magical dunes. Pool was refreshing and perfect size for kids. Only distractions were loud volume from living area into bedrooms due to open floor plan (and we are not a raucous crew) and 2 Bedrooms with no BR access on their floor- took some trekking. The multiple stain glass windows are beautiful. The bidets on every toilet are a nice amenity. (Except for some first-timers!)We would have booked for next year at same time but already reserved!
Everything was great. The only thing that to be improved would be washer and dryer. They took forever to run a cycle. The timers said 54 min but would take a hour and a half. No sure if it’s a sensor issue or what.
We shared this home with another family and it was perfect. Clean, big, bright and the best-equipped VRBO we have stayed in. Tons of towels, beach items, and kitchen equipment. Everything is labeled and organized. We would definitely return!
