The property itself was amazing! The rooms were well decorated, clean and thoughtful. The pool area was wonderful with a bar outside and was perfect for our family of six. The host was very flexible with us when we ended up arriving two days later than expected, and the on-site host was the most amazing! She was so helpful with recommendations and so kind. Our only feedback would be to replace some of the beach chairs and umbrellas, but it was so thoughtful to have them there. Also, while the property is fairly close to the beach, it would not be the easiest walk particularly with beach chairs . Other than that, we would certainly return!

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 Property in Great Location

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. Thank you for your hospitality and another wonderful stay in Aruba! We are ready to plan our next trip!

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!

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!

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!

Sand Castle Review

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!
