The cleanliness and accuracy of the property was amazing. The hot tub and pool were outstanding as well, the beds were comfy and the listing is accurate
This property has a great location and very nicely equipped. Beds were comfortable and furnishings were more than what we needed. The best part is direct stair access to the pool and beach. We will stay here again.
We really thought the area was perfect and would stay in Sandcastle III again. We also had some family in Sandcastle II and they enjoyed their stay as well. I really appreciated having the spiral stairs directly to the pool deck and parking - very convenient especially when grilling. Pretty tight to carry beach chairs up and down but we managed just fine. I liked that it was a smaller building and never felt crowded. They have a closet on the balcony that is filled with random beach stuff so a little unpredictable as far as chairs go. They had one beach chair and a camp chair. Comparing to other properties we have stayed at, you will need to bring more trash bags and figure out your own coffee - they had a Keurig and a regular pot but no pods. Not a big deal. could have been a little cleaner but I'd still say 9/10 overall. Caddy's across the street had just re-opened and was fun to hang out.
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Everything was great. The only negative was no ceiling fan in the master and the one in the second bedroom didn’t work.
The condo was nice room wise. Didn’t particularly like being on pool deck. Noisy all evening. Swimming until 1am. A lot of noise in surrounding units! The area was beautiful. Would go back, just to a different unit.

Upgrades needed...
We have stayed at Sand Castle 3 many times over the years, including this unit. It needs a deep clean...lots of dirt on walls and doors. The unit itself needs upgrading. We rented 3 units total this trip and they were all in need of cleaning and repairs. Overall, we were disappointed in the condition of the units.
But the area and the beach were wonderful.
