Very relaxing spring break

Sandy Castle is perfectly situated in Gulf Shores--close to the action but far away from the crowds. Our family loved the beach access and the open-concept kitchen/living room/dining area. The deck and balcony upstairs provided for some amazing sunsets and a perfect perch for eventing cocktails. The kitchen has ample cookware, plates and utensils. Sandy Castle is a lovely home, but there are obvious signs of water intrusion in the ceilings and the walls (water stains and paint bubbling with water inside). I would also recommend bringing your own clothes hangars because they were very sparse. Lastly, the washing machine did not clean our clothes at all, so it's best to pack for the entire length of stay and not rely on doing laundry in the house (or perhaps find a laundromat). Overall, the "goods" outweighed the "bads" and my family had a wonderful vacation for our first time in Gulf Shores.

The view was great, the house needed some cleaning and repair work done while staying there and the bar stools were horrible and they were asked to take them out for safety reasons and the back stairs had to be repaired for safety. We also had to spray for ants and roaches underneath the sink. The rug underneath the table needs to be cleaned and we also had to have the benches to the table fixed before using them. There wasn’t enough towels in the bathrooms for the adults, other than that we still enjoyed the beach and the weather was perfect. Thank you,Peggy Bennett
