This place was a perfect stay for a cold weekend in Port A! We loved the location and will definitely be back for warm weather! The only thing to note is that there were not many pillows. There were three standard and not super fluffy pillows on the bed, plus two decorative ones. Since there’s no couch, this meant we couldn’t really cozy up or lounge to watch a movie in the evening, but it didn’t ruin the trip. I’d just recommend bringing a pillow or two with you!
This property was exactly as listed. The room was comfortable and clean. The location provided a beautiful view of the beach and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again and again.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! We hope to sea you again soon.
These are very nice condominiums available in various sizes to meet your needs. The access to the beach is great, location in town is great, and the pool area is large, resort-style. Lots of fun and great for relaxing!
Great weekend at Sandcastle enjoying the Whooping CraneFestival. The unit was great for a weekend. Bed was a little dippy and not comfortable to old backs. Was a little surprised that no coffee was provided and had to make a quick trip to the store. Everything else was great.
Quiet resort. Easy access to the beach. Clean unit with anything you need provided. You will need your own pool/beach towel. Loved golf cart rental to enjoy the beach and town. Highly recommend!!
Loved being on the 5th floor to see over the pool area and a long ways over the gulf. The balcony was key. Unfortunately there’s construction going on for a property that’s in front of the opposite wing of the condo property closest to the beach front. However you can see the beach over the property being constructed and when the construction is done, it will be fine. Small but clean and comfy place! We would come back again!
Enjoyed this efficiency condo! Bed was so comfortable, pillows not so much. Very clean and great linens and towels! Kitchen had everything we needed! Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for sharing your experience from your stay! We hope to see you again soon.
We had everything that we needed in this studio condo unit. The pool was beautiful, the staff was friendly and the beach was just a short walk. We really enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony with the lovely gulf views!

We are so glad you enjoyed our little slice of paradise. We hope to see you again soon!
We loved the room & the view. Elevators are hot & slow. Wish they had ice on site. Parking was ample & beach access was great. Loved the turtle feeding. All of the staff were friendly & helpful.
This unit was super clean and well-appointed with everything we needed! The view??? UNBEATABLE! We enjoyed hanging out on the balcony, listening to waves. The condo amenities were awesome… pool, spa, fire pit, boardwalk to beach, easy beach access by car! The location was ideal! We would definitely stay here again!! Thanks Sandcastle Condominiums!
We loved our stay. It was a perfect location. The only two thing we didn't care for were one the bed was too soft for us. The mattress topper is nice but, a little much. The second was we could have used a few more towels. We luckly brought our own beach towels since, none were supplied. No where was it stated towels were supplied so, no harm there but, I almost assumed they would be. We loved this place it was prefect for a couple and was a great value! If we come back we will stay here agian.
We had a great experience with the property, amenities, and distance to everything. The only downside was the funky smell in the bathroom and the dryer kept tripping the breaker on timed dry, we did report it immediately. When we arrived, the bathroom smelled like a mixture of cigarette smoke, stale urine (if you have boys, you know), and like someone went number two. It smelled like this the entire time. We would stay at the condos again, just not this unit.
We enjoyed the room. Bed was nice. There were a couple things that need attention.
1. The bathroom rugs were very dirty
2. Towels etc were not stocked. Low low quality towels
3. Needs more lighting in bedroom kitchen area.
Reception staff very helpful and nice too. Parking good and covered.
