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.

Great home, location, communication, and family vacation. Everything was wonderful! We absolutely loved the Sandcastle and would love to return!

Sand Castle is a nice location with only a five minute walk to the beach. The ocean view from the house is great! Our children enjoyed the pool which was heated as I requested. The house easily accommodated our family of 10 people, but would have been crowded at 15 (sleeping capacity listed). My major complaint was that the kitchen was unacceptably dirty. I cleaned on it for two hours before bringing in groceries, including washing out the entire refrigerator, throwing away opened food including a half loaf of bread, cleaning hair and crumbs from utensil drawers, etc. Thankfully, the property management sent Jenn over in response to my complaint. Jenn “saved the day,” and probably deserves a raise. She cleaned the oven and the grill, purchased new kitchen cloths, and was appropriately apologetic. The house also needs some basic plumbing maintenance (master bath sink sluggish, primary garbage disposal inconsistently not functional, master toilet hard to flush). Master bedroom quilt had what appeared to be blood stains. These things could be easily remedied and should be addressed if the company would like to see the review raised for this property. Because of the good location and great view, it could easily be made into a “5” with a little more work.

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.

We had a wonderful time relaxing with friends and family at the Sandcastle. We had 15 adults and with the trundle bed we had enough bed space for everyone! The pool was nice and the location was so great to be walking distance to the beach. We brought some towels with us but there were plenty of towels and some beach chairs available too. The only minor complaint was that the toilet paper could have been a little better quality but otherwise the house was well stocked with kitchen supplies, cooking dishes, and glassware. Would definitely stay in again!

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!

Had a wonderful experience at the Sandcastle! Plenty of space for our group of 10 adults, especially the common areas, kitchen and balconies. Loved the vaulted ceilings and views from both outdoor spaces. House was sparkling clean and Jordan was very responsive. East beach access and a short drive to restaurants and downtown St. Augustine. Would have been nice to have one additional bathroom/half bath on the 1st or 2nd floor, but overall was a wonderful stay!
