30A Getaway

The property was very clean and well stocked. We didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to have everything you’d need. The 3 bedrooms with 3 baths was perfect for a girl’s trip. The property needs a few touch ups but for the price is a great deal.

A wonderful place to stay

This is the second year we've stayed at Castle In the Sand for the full month of February. It's a safe and convenient location very close to Alys and Rosemary Beaches. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom that worked very well for our party. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean with coffee each morning and watching the sunset with a glass of wine each night. The unit is dated. Appliances are old but in great working condition. It would be nice to have the double pane window in the french door to the balcony fixed. It's cloudy and obstructs the view. Other than that everything in the unit is in great working condition. I would recommend staying at Castle in the Sand.
