Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a spacious home. Perfect for our family of 13. The management is very organized and helpful. Minor issues were looked after promptly. Our only recommendations to the home owners would be to put light blocking curtains in the bedrooms as it’s very bright very early in the mornings even with the blinds they have, and people on vacation don’t usually want to wake at 5 or 6 am! Secondly all the tvs are Roku and there is no way to see local news or weather. It would be helpful to have regular cable on the smart TVs as well. Other than these things it was a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.

Sandcastle Dreams did not disappoint

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay from start to finish. Check in was smooth and the house was immaculate and fully stocked with everything you could need for the week. The open concept kitchen and living room is great for multiple families and the kids loved the bunk room and game room on the third floor. The bedrooms are spacious and the beach towels were a nice perk! We won't hesitate to stay at Sandcastle Dreams again!
