Excellent Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is in an excellent location. You can’t get any closer to the beach. Pool , hot tub and grilling area all top notch. The only thing that could make the condo any better would be a new mattress in the master bedroom. With that said we already reserved for next year. Rental company very prompt and professional.

Lovely condo. Plenty of room We have stayed in sandcastle 2 and 3 in past. Picked this as price was good, had enough room for us all and convenient location. Due to recent hurricanes the pool and hot tub were closed however they were being worked on daily and made good progress. Neat and clean.

The room itself was great!! Very clean, well decorated and has everything you would need. The only con would be having to climb a sand dune just getting to the beach for the older people or with health issues. Otherwise, definitely recommend Sand Castle II.

Indian Shores Family Vaca

Very nice condo on the beach with pool! Well stocked and maintained. Our only suggestions would be to upgrade the mattresses in the middle bedroom and have the building maintenance fix BOTH elevators. Only 1 of 2 worked the entire week which was very inconvenient, especially on moving in/out days! Otherwise, great vacation spot!

Great family vacation.

We stayed here with our kids (11 yo daughter and 13 yo son) mid winter break. We LOVED the location and weather. Something to do for everyone. Lots of places to walk to. Our favorite restaurant was Cubby’s- loved their tuna poke bowl. People were so kind. The condo had a beautiful view, the parking was convenient and the grounds/pool were clean. I would have appreciated the condo to have been cleaned a bit better. Was offered for the cleaning crew to return, but I had already cleaned what I needed. Great response from the rental company. We would definitely stay again.

Recent stay

The exterior of the property was average but during the stay it appeared they were working on updates to the paint and signage. The parking it’s a little tough cornering on where your parking is located and the size of your car. We had a van and the location of the assigned spot was awkward to get into if either spot next to the assigned spot was occupied. Once inside the size of the bedrooms and the unit it self was as expected. However the excitement of getting there met with a very profound smell. The whole unit smelled musty and in spots like cat pee. We bought air fresheners for each room and it helped but each time we left for a period of time the smell was there when we came back. Overall the rooms were nice but it would be nice if the front rooms had light blocking options in the windows. As soon as the sun comes up it rooms are filled with light. The unit did have a great view of the beach and the pool and a central location to great restaurants. The only other down falls were that the tv in the living room was going out and needs replaced as well as it doesn’t appear the cleaners do a full clean each time as it was apparent they did not move the coffee table to vacuum and there was a large stain on the carpet that needed to be cleaned. Overall we would stay in the area again however unsure if we’d choose the same unit.

Great Room

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We headed down in mid-June with 4 adults & 2 teenagers, and we had an absolute blast. The condo was very nice and comfortably fit all 6 of us. The balcony is larger than other condos we have stayed in and was great for sunsets after long days at the pool/beach.Our kids had a great time and made a bunch of new friends.The complex is very family friendly and an easy walk to the water's edge, which is nice when dragging down all of your beach supplies.The elevators did go down for a couple hours on our 2nd to last day, but they got someone out to fix it pretty quickly. This unit is on the 4th floor, so it did not impact us very much at all.

Beautiful condo and location!

The condo is even nicer in person! The photos make it look slightly outdated, but in person it’s very nice and spacious! You also can’t beat the views. I would definitely stay here again. Very clean and cozy! My only suggestion is new or more patio furniture as we had to use kitchen chairs out on the patio to accommodate the 8 people staying here.

Child friendly location with easy access to the beach and pool, beach chairs and sand toys were a plus!The washer and dryer make help to reduce the amount of clothes that you need to pack, especially for the kids. Mattresses in the two guest bedrooms could use an upgrade, and there was an issue with the lock on the door that is in the process of being fixed. Management team was very polite and helpful.
