Family vacay
Great location. Very convenient to the beach, not crowded, love the stairs down to the pool. Had everything we needed. Unit could use some updating. Sliding doors difficult to use, could use a little more furniture for seating, only seats about 5 comfortably in living room. Beds and bedding a little dated and not comfortable. Furniture on balcony not comfortable but fine. overall a great stay. Just minor things that would take it to the next level.

Great location
I’ve stayed at numerous condos at this property and have enjoyed the location. This property could use some maintenance and upgrades. For what you pay for compared to others, it’s a bit less appealing. The furniture on the balcony was uncomfortable and that’s where you’d want to spend most of your time. However, the spiral staircase is a bonus as it takes you right to the pool.

LESS THAN POOR
Check in is at 4:00. We got in at 4:30 and had to deal with the maintenance as it wasn’t done before we arrived. The condo was filthy! I took pictures and sent to the owner; rather than make it right, he was in denial and praised the cleaning staff. A pest control worker entered the condo just as I was getting in the shower; no notice from the owner!!! There are plenty of other rentals in the area, you are best to stay away from this one!

Loved It…
We absolutely loved this property! Convenient to everything we needed! Loved the location and the beach access was perfect! Definitely would stay here again! The only downfall to this trip was Hurricane Helene!!! We had a mandatory evacuation on day 4 and had to leave 3 days early! Other than that, I give it a 10+

Perfect Beach Vacation
I stayed at this condo for a week with my wife and three kids, and it was perfect for us. The beach is only steps away, and was very clean and not crowded. We loved the stairs down from the balcony to the pool and hot tub. We also met several other condo owners and visitors and everyone was very friendly for the most part. If you are looking for a place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation, look no further!

We loved the view! The white sand and turquoise water was absolutely beautiful! We loved being able to walk out the door and be right there. We enjoyed being able to cook and the grills outside were an added bonus. We had plenty of room for six adults and one little one :). We hope to come back next year! It was great family time! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Great Coastal Condo
Excellent stay with my son’s family, which included our grandchildren ranging in age from 3-14. We all really enjoyed the convenience on the spiral staircase to the pool deck and super quick access to the beach. Just a few minor glitches that were easily resolved by communicating with Philip. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and cozy accommodations!
We had a wonderful time at Sandcastle III! This property was perfectly located in IRB with convenient access to all surrounding locations. The property opens directly onto the beach (no sand dunes to traverse) and, therefore, offered an optimal view of the ocean/beach. The rooms were well appointed, and the kitchen was well equipped and provided ample counterspace for meals. The owner was communicative of important information and reminders, as well as highly responsive to questions. We had 4 adults and an almost 2-year-old. The space of the condominium was ample. We rented a Ford Expedition for our vacation, and it fit fine within the designated covered parking spot. My husband and I have stayed at each of the Sandcastles at this point (I, II, and III), and this was our favorite. I would recommend this unit, and any other units managed by this owner, to anyone looking for a stress-free vacation!

Great location and good view from unit.
The location was convenient to many things and the beachfront unit was awesome. Easy access to the pool/spa and beach.
The unit was not 100% clean, the hall bathtub was stained black and the balcony had a jumbled mess of chairs, beach toys etc in disarray. An organizer for those items would be helpful and disposing of broken items would be less of an eye sore.
The owner made check in simple and said to call if anything was needed or we had questions. One complaint, I would suggest not texting a guest in the early morning hours requesting the guest perform a task. The guest is on vacation and probably does not want to be disturbed. First time I have ever experienced something like that while on vacation.
