    We rented Castle in the Sand East and West, an 18-bedroom beachfront property, for a corporate retreat for 4 nights and it exceeded expectations. We had 14 people, and the space was absolutely perfect—plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still feeling connected.Being right on the beach was a huge highlight. Everyone loved the easy beach access and the views, and it really elevated the entire experience. The heated pools were another big win and were enjoyed daily.The home itself is very modern and extremely well-appointed. The kitchen was one of the standout features—spacious, updated, and designed for group cooking with plenty of prep and cooking space. Bedrooms were large, comfortable, and private, with equally impressive bathrooms that felt more like a high-end resort than a rental.Overall, this property was ideal for a corporate retreat and would also be perfect for large family gatherings or group vacations. Great layout, excellent amenities, and an unbeatable beachfront location. We would absolutely rent again.

    We always have a hard time finding suitable houses for our very, very large family. We were able to rent both sides and it was perfect!! Plenty of space for us all, amazing location, clean and had everything we needed! We had some issues with the pool pump on the one side but they had a pool tech come out ASAP and were extremely responsive to my texts. We didn't want to leave and we can't wait to be back!

    We rented both Castle in the Sand East and West for our family reunion vacation. It was perfect for 30 of us and worked well for all ages, from 6 months to 80! The house is well-equipped with kitchen equipment, dishes, etc. There are a great assortment of bedroom types with Kings for couples, bunkrooms for kids and twin rooms for older siblings to share. The owner was very responsive when we had a small issue. The houses are nicely furnished with large sitting areas and dining tables, so we had plenty of room for everyone from both houses to eat together in one house. Great location with plenty of beach space for your group without bumping into others from nearby condo units,

    Beautiful property, several of the bedroom doors catch on the floor tiles, are difficult to open, probably should be planed down a bit. Well equipped kitchens.
