Daytona Beach Shores, Florida
Hurricane Update: The oceanfront deck behind the home is open but guests may find the access to the beach difficult from the back deck. The photos are what the deck currently looks like. There are no beach steps at this time and a recent severe winter storm has washed out the gradual sand slope that was there. Guests can still access the beach but it is about a 1 foot drop from the deck to the sand and we want to ensure guests are aware. Guests with mobility issues may have challenges accessing the beach here as there's nothing to hold onto and sand is not stable footing. A public beach access is available within just a 2-3 minute walk from the home. Like every property in the area, there's always a possibility of some construction-related noise from neighboring properties. There's no construction work planned at this home. The city sustained hurricane damage in 2022 and ongoing construction continues throughout the city.
Set directly on the ocean, this 8000 square foot home offers both privacy and luxury for your next gathering of family and friends. As you approach the home and pass the detached 3-car garage, you'll wind around a bricked bath to enter a lovely, bricked courtyard surrounded by lush landscaping. You'll feel the weight of the world lift off your shoulders as you follow the courtyard and enter this luxurious mansion. The open floor plans allows the Atlantic Ocean to greet you from the moment you walk into the home with floor to ceiling grand windows strung along the back of the home.
To the right of the entrance is a fun lounge space completed by a blue sofa and large TV perfect for gaming. An adjacent full bathroom is located between the lounge and game room. Just past the bathroom is game room which includes a multi-functional game table, fun décor, and ceiling LED rope lights. The game table is both a pool table and air hockey table for hours of fun!
Walking forward from the front doors you'll be greeted with a gorgeous, open family room with a grand linen sectional and a large, decorative telescope, HD Smart TV. The family room includes an office space that overlooks the ocean and a sleeper sofa. To the left of the family room is a formal living room with cozy seating while overlooking the ocean. A lovely spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails.
Adjacent to the living room is the oceanfront dining room. A sprawling, gorgeous dining table allows the entire group to dine together. The fully remodeled kitchen is adjacent to the dining area and includes bar stools for additional seating. The kitchen comes fully stocked for all of your cooking needs and includes all new appliances. The laundry room and half bathroom are located just past the kitchen. Just past the laundry room is the first guest bedroom containing a king bed, Smart TV, and a private entrance to the bricked courtyard. This is the only bedroom located on the first floor.
Near the entrance of the home lies a grand staircase leading you to the second floor. Located on the left is the oceanfront primary suite. A king bed, HD, Smart TV, and sitting enable this room to become a retreat within a retreat. The adjoining primary bathroom contains a two separate vanities, a spacious walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet.
There are three other guest bedrooms and one additional full bathroom located on the second floor of the main house. One of the guest bedrooms includes a queen bed and a Smart TV. An additional guest bedroom includes ocean views, a Smart TV, and a king bed. The last guest bedroom on this level includes ocean views, a Smart TV, and 2 twin/twin bunk beds. Please note that bunk bedroom has glass French doors instead of a traditional bedroom door so this is a better room for tiny travelers. The full guest bathroom includes a walk-in shower.

The guest house boasts an outdoor balcony and sitting space that allows you to look over the main house and gaze upon the ocean waves.

Our family enjoyed this house on the beach, plenty of room gif everyone and the guest house with full kitchen is a definite bonus.
We rented this property to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. The inside pictures of the house in the listing are accurate. The beach is gorgeous. The back of the house was a construction site. The deck was in the middle of being replaced, half of it was finished while the other half was bare. This made it uneven and easy to trip. There were also pavers lined up on both sides of the deck. The path down to the beach IS NOT a gentle slope, it is steep, and difficult to navigate up and down. Certainly not easy or safe for an 80 year old. The A/C was also not working, which we unfortunately found out our last night when the temperature outside warmed up. The fire pit is also unusable and unfixable. Although the location is beautiful this house needs many repairs and updates.
We had a great time. The property was awesome. Great for family. It was perfect.
All was well except a noticeable shortage of towels for the number of quests and or bedrooms .
The 4 star rating was because there were spiderwebs and dust on the cabinet against the wall in the living room. Who builds a beach house with no towel bars in the master bathroom? Your online listing picture showed the level beach right up to the patio. It did NOT show the big drop-off to get to the beach--very disappointing for elderly guests and transporting beach gear. We did like the long dining table. We did enjoy our family stay.
House was beautiful. We had one bathroom down upstairs that we could not shower in. Shower downstairs did not always have hot water. Most had to shower upstairs in the master bedroom which had a glass door leading into the bathroom. Glass door needs to have a curtain so people cannot see in when someone is showering. Bedroom with bunk beds also all glass. OK for small kids but had to hang a sheet up for the teenagers. Should place a curtain there also so they could have the option of privacy. Beautiful balcony on second story but no door to access. Need a rug on the inside of the house downstairs to catch some of the sand coming in from the beach. Did not have enough towels, 16 people but less towels than that. Washer had to be used quite a bit to keep up with the number of towels needed for showers and beach. The house was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. Management did provide a credit for the inconvenience of the shower upstairs. REquested a broom to keep sand out but never received.
We had a wonderful stay at the Sand Castle. Right on the beach and the perfect setup for a large group. Communication was prompt and the property was well equipped. You can't go wrong with a rental here and we'd welcome the chance to stay again on a future visit
Great location. Great property. 5 stars. Directly on the ocean.
