Enjoyed working with the host and the timely responses to my questions. The home was very nice with large comfortable rooms. Plenty of games for both indoor and outdoor activities. We enjoyed the pool everyday even though the beach was just a short walk away. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with our family!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the home had everything your family needed, from the spacious rooms and games to the pool and nearby beach. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication, and it was a pleasure hosting you. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
We rented this property for a work trip. The property was great. Loved that every room has its own private bathroom. Brock (the host) was very responsive and quick to respond. We needed to extend an extra day and he quickly made it possible and the communication was quick (responded within minutes). If you are looking for a vacation rental in a great, quiet, family friendly area, I HIGHLY recommend booking the Grand Sandcastle! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Grand Sandcastle was a great fit for your trip and that you had such a positive experience with our team.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and kind words. Thank you for choosing Grand Sandcastle, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!
Perfect house for our family of 12. Kids were asking when we could come back before we left. Location was great and house was supplied with everything you could ask for. Only issue was there was not enough towels when we checked in. I messaged Brock and we had more towels delivered shortly after my message. Everything went smoothly and communication was great and responses were almost immediate. We are already starting to plan a return trip for next year.
