The back porch is where our group hung out for the majority of the time. It was amazing!! We also appreciated having beach towels, chairs and snorkeling equipment available for everyone. The restaurants in Aruba are fantastic but we enjoyed being able to BBQ on the back patio for a few nights.

Great home for a group

We had an amazing time during our stay at the Sand Castle! We had a group of 10 adults and it was perfect. We enjoyed the pool and outside area every evening. As with any home we’ve rented, there were a few minor issues but Gail, Richard, and Julie were very quick to respond and get things resolved. The kitchen is well-stocked with pans and utensils for cooking. We would definitely stay here again!

We love staying at the Sandcastle! It's a beautiful property in a wonderful location. We love to stop by the grocery store (<2 min away), head to the beach, and then finish the day cooling off in the pool in the beautiful backyard oasis.

Everything was perfect at the Sandcastle! Definitely would give it 5 Stars!

We loved everything about this place. From the moment we arrived, to meet the owners, who were in town, to the time we left, everything was perfect! It was spacious, had a great pool and back yard bar/patio area, which we all enjoyed! It is within walking distance of the beach (approx. 15-20 minutes) and very close to the grocery store. We would definitely stay again!

The home was delightful. Very clean and as described. The only reason it did not get all 5 Stars was the contact number for the on site person was incorrect but the owner is now aware of that. I would not hesitate to rent this again or recommend it to others.

Great Spot, Out of the Way

Our stay was quite nice, and we enjoyed what amenities were offered. Especially the hot tub. There were some issues with drainage in one of the showers, but otherwise all amenities were in good shape. I recommend you rent a car as we did to get around!

My family of 12, including my husband, 4 kids and 6 grandchildren stayed at Sandcastle for 8 nights. It was wonderful. The kids loved the pool. The property manager was super responsive and easy to work with, the owner was very responsive through the reservation process and questions. Highly recommend this property!

Retirement celebration

Our week at Sandcastle was wonderful. So close to the best beach I’ve ever been to (Eagle Beach). It was great to relax with morning coffee poolside, cook together in the spacious kitchen/dining room and gather for games or TV late into the evening. The Island itself offers more than you can possible do in one short week. I highly recommend it!

Sandcastle Noord Aruba

Great property to stay at. We really spent most of our time in the outdoor space. Pool, hot tub, 2 grills, pizza oven and tiki bar, why wouldn't you be there enjoying the sun. The inside was clean and spacious and has everything you need to feel at home. With in walking distance to Superfoods (for supplies and groceries) and the fofoti trees on Eagle beach. They were kind enough to leave is a bottle of wine and the material to make 2 pizzas as a welcoming gift. Thanks Gail. You have a great property!.

About the host

Hosted by Gail Childress

Host profile image
we (Richard and Gail Childress) are married since 1976, we love hiking, sailing,
and outback riding. Aruba has all this and more. this is why we bought this house.
the people are so nice and family oriented. everyone is so mannered and respectable to all vistors.

Why they chose this property

this property for the location and amenities. this quiet home , but so close to all
the action of the high rise. trade winds always blowing . this is because the way
this home is situated on the land. You can walk the neighborhood safely . and
you can also walk to the largest and newest food store on the island. you
never want to leave this wonderful retreat.

What makes this property unique

Cool down in your private pool .The tiki bar has a ice maker , fridge. and a sink. there is a charcoal grill and an electric grill, this is your choice. You also have a two burner grill for those large pots, like having a seafood boil. The list goes on. and the big plus is you are soooo close to all the night life and sights that Aruba has to offer!!!!!. Location Location Location!!!!!!!!
