All the little touches in this property made it feel like home away from home. It was very clean and had everything you need to have a lovely vacation. My family and I loved the pool, the hammock chairs, and the comfy couches. It was a delightful place to stay!
A great time easy access to just about everything. Enjoyed the OBX
Our visit to the Sandcastle was a pleasant experience, thanks to host Barbara. She was excellent at communicating about the property and prompt to respond to our questions with care. Her home was extremely clean and well positioned for all homey things / well equipped property . The pool was the perfect size for our family and was a relaxing place for everyone at the end of the day. Certainly a great place and well located near groceries and much of OBX. Overall we had an excellent vacation and would highly recommend staying at Sandcastle. Thanks Barbara for being such a wonderful host and providing us with the use of your home for the week. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location, so many little extras throughout the house. Very clean, comfortable, and top quality throughout. By far the best VRBO home I've ever stayed in.
The house was everything we wanted for a week long trip to Outer Banks with two couple and one infant. The house was well-furnished, TVs everywhere, a great renovated kitchen, and an extra fridge downstairs that was great for storing drinks to throw in the cooler.
You will want a car to get to the beach, but the pool is very nice, so we just stayed at the house most days. The hot tub was also a great spot to relax at night - seemed pretty much brand new.
The owner was always quick to answer any questions and helped ensure our stay was easy and comfortable. I highly recommend this property for a large family, two families with a couple of kids each, or up to 3 adult couples. Great spot to relax for a week!
The thing that separates this property from our other vacation spots was the communication with the property mgr/owner. She was great with answering any questions we had before and during the stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We are looking forward to next time!
Great property, excellent location in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. House is in great condition, seemed like it was freshly renovated. Pool was fantastic!
