Everything was great! Loved the house and area… we had a few participate in the polar bear plunge.

Home is perfect. We had 8 adults & 8 children. Everything is extremely well equppied for the perfect famiiy vacation. Location is amazing. Truly created great family memories for a lifetime.

Great for the whole family! We were able to get the entire family in this house which was really the best way to spend quality time together on vacation. Really felt like our own home at the beach with everything we could need or want. Options of the beach or the pool kept all the kids entertained endlessly, that or Madden football on the Xbox. The walk to the beach is so short it hardly seemed like a walk. Was so nice to have all the beaches toys and accessories and the cart to get them to the beach. The flashlights with the red light filter was a nice touch for beach walks at night. Really nice to have the ice maker in the basement as well to fill up the coolers. Property manager was very responsive and checked in on things midweek and which was appreciated. Minor points for improvements would be an upgrade to the toilet paper (paper thin) and the beach towels (some falling apart). Having a vacuum would be nice to mitigate the constant influx of sand through the front door. Would have also been nice to have a garage door opener to make getting bikes in and out of the garage much more efficient. Kitchen had all the necessary components but would have been nice to have a large skillet (only one smaller one available).

Our family which consists of 10 adults and 6 children enjoyed a most enjoyable experience at this beautiful beach house called Castle by the Sea. House had bountiful space and bedding for all. Large pool and very short walk to the beach. Kitchen was well supplied and bedding was very comfortable. God has been so gracious to our family and to enjoy such a beautiful vacation with children and grandchildren is such a blessing. Owner of property was extremely hospitable and vacation company very responsive. I highly recommend this property. We have already booked for next year!

This place was okay. Given the cost to stay, I was disappointed in a few things. First, the place has some cleanliness issues. Specifically, there were many dishes clearly not washed and just placed back into the cabinets with old food caked onto them. Gross. I mentioned this to the management company and they head scratchingly responded it wasn't their job to clean the dishes? Okay... There were many items broken or not working. These were generally smaller items, such as luggage racks, but this property is in need of a walk through with a detail oriented person. My biggest complaint is that the owner of the property was not, in my opinion, respectful of our stay as guests. We stayed the first week of September, which I guess is the "end of the season", but they had all kinds of vendors in and out of the place over the week. This got to be annoying, especially when a roofer arrived planning on doing work in the main area of the house where the pool and outdoor area is. I understand that things need to get done on a property, but do that stuff on your own time, not mine. Overall, the place was great for kids, fantastic location, easy check-in. Nice amenities for the kids. I am sure our stay had some hiccups that others wouldn't normally expect but my rating is based on our individual experience.

Our extended family (10 adults, 4 kids under 9) stayed here for a week. The house is in a great location. 1/2 block walk to the beach, just under 1/2 mile to Coligney shops and restaurants. The owners make it easy! The house has everything you could possibly want - in the kitchen, games/books for kids, high chairs, pack and play, and plenty of beach and pool items to borrow. The owner and property manager were easy to communicate with and we really enjoyed our stay. We hope to come back next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at castle by the sea. The location was close to the beach and a very easy walk. The house was nice and big so everyone had the bedroom arrangement required. One of our the 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers were great for our large group. The house was well equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. The pool - hot tub was used a lot every day. Great house

The castle allowed us to bring our family together at one place for the first time in 4-5 years. We were able to eat together, play together and enjoy our grand children together. The elevator was a great addition as the stairs could get tiring, especially for seniors! Great beach access and the pool allowed us to relax day time and evening. The home had many things for our enjoyment, from beach toys, chairs and umbrellas to a pool table, gas grill and TVs and game room. Great place!
