We found everything we needed and more at this beautiful, immaculately clean and well-kept beach house. Every day we walked the boardwalk straight from the house to the beach without having to get in the cart. There were two beautiful adult bikes, lots and lots of beach equipment, including chairs and a Shibumi. There are also lots of beach towels. Kim is the best host ever.

Wonderful vacation place

We just completed a one week stay at this house. The house was well maintained, plenty of supplies available so you don't have to bring an enormous amount of stuff to enjoy vacation. All appliances worked without issues. Questions to owner were answered promptly. This place is such a great vacation, the golf cart holds six, the beach is walking distance, the beach area is enormous so plenty of space for kids to play and the waves are not too risky. All 3 beds were comfortable with extra comforters were available. The room with the two twin beds does get colder than other rooms. Checkout procedures were completely logical, easy to follow and we were easily able to complete all tasks though our tram pickup was scheduled for 7:15amWe will certainly use the house again if we stay on Bald Head Island again.

Beautiful well-stocked home

The house was beautiful and came with all the necessities (pots, pans, spices) and some of what are typically nice-to-haves (additional paper products, trash bags, etc.). The house had many games, which provided lots of entertainment for the kids. We enjoyed our stay!

We had a great week at Sandcastle! The house had everything you could need for a week at the beach - sand toys, beach equipment, towels, games, puzzles, etc. The home was very clean too. And easy to get to the beach! We would definitely book again!

Another awesome BHI family beach trip

We loved our stay at Sandcastle by the Sea! The location is perfect, with boardwalk access to the beach. The golf cart is in great condition and we appreciated the bikes, boards and beach chairs!! The cottage was perfect for our family. Our college-age kids loved having the upstairs to themselves and the primary suite downstairs was perfect for my husband and I. The kitchen is compact, but well stocked. This was our 8th time on BHI and one of our favorite rentals. Thanks!

Definitely recommend

We will definitely come back! Perfect for our family of four, and could bring a couple of friends next time. Beds were incredibly comfortable! Bathrooms were nicely updated. Love the easy beach access. Only had two issues - laundry was left in the washer and dryer when we got there, and had to be rewashed, folded and put away. Also, some mugs, plates and cups in the cupboards were dirty and had to be rewashed before use. Not sure if it was an issue with the previous visitors or cleaning company. Otherwise, a very pleasant and comfortable stay!

Fabulous beach house!

My family of four spent a week at Sandcastle by the Sea. The house was lovely and in a great location. It is centrally located on the island and just a short golf cart ride to the market, shops and several restaurants. We could easily walk to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked. There are lovely views from every room in the house. The decor is current and beautiful. Kim, the host, was super responsive and made the entire rental process easy. We will be back!!
