Oceanfront Home on Miles of Sandy Beach! Hot Tub / Game Room! Free Night!

The property’s proximity to the beach was our favorite. The views are amazing from the house especially from the second floor. Our family loved the garage game room. Sadly, it seems the nightly rate was for the location and views. The house was quite filthy upon our arrival and the longer we stayed the more we discovered many items were not in working order including ceiling lights, small kitchen appliances, the BBQ grill, and the dryer. We spent our first evening cleaning the bathrooms and vacuuming the carpets/couches/beds with a vacuum on its last leg and a container of Clorox wipes. Most bigger dishes, like pans, pots, mixing bowls were dirty from previous use. Most places provide basic staple ingredients. This one did not. (We didn’t find the salt/pepper shakers until the last day and that was all that was provided). The 1st floor bathroom has been redone, but some of the improvements are nuisances. The shower door only slides open in a small space by the toilet and on the opposite end of the faucet and shower head. There are double sinks, but a glass shelf was installed a few inches above both sinks so when you try to bend down to spit you risk clanking your head. The towel hooks on the back of the door were completely broken off. Each time we turned on a light in the 1st floor bedroom the turn nob fell off and this we spent too much time searching for a broken light knob cover. The home needs extensive repairs. We love Yachats and we will likely visit again, but we won’t use this property again. It was hard to really relax and enjoy our time because of the condition we found the inside of the house.

This property was perfect for our Christmas 2016. We had 12 people, ages 4 to 77. Where else can you celebrate opening gifts but up on the second floor and overlooking the beautiful Oregon Coast. The home was very clean, well furnished.

This home was vey nice, clean and had lights and TVs set music playing when we arrived, this was welcoming and a nice touch. We were asked to contact property manager prior to arrival and we did this, no problem. She arrived and went over some general details and rules about the home which I initialed on a contract.

Some thought the beds very soft with the foam toppers, I found this very comfortable. The beds had a lot of pillows and soft sheets.

Lastly we did run out of TP after 2 of our 3 night stay. There were no tissue boxes for backup. The soap in the bathrooms was basically water, watered down soap that wouldn't lather.

Otherwise the hot tub was clean and hot and there were plenty of supplies in kitchen and game garage. The trail to the beach was eroded from weather, but we were advised we could use the neighbors access which was great. This home is right on the ocean and the views are beautiful, lots of windows!

Great home for families; certainly the location, private surroundings, and view are spectacular. However, it was billed as Luxury, and after 30 years of renting Oregon beach homes, it's my opinion that it's overpriced by about 1/3. At a lower price, I'd rate it much higher, but there were too may shortfalls and near misses for that price.

We have rented many homes in Yachats (one of our favorite coastal towns), but The Sand Castle is by far the nicest we have stayed at. Not only was the property manager so nice to work with, but we did not have to stay and wash all the linen, towels and clean the entire home. This made the vacation truly a vacation. The garage full of games was also an added treat. The upstairs was like a separate retreat when my daughters family wanted some alone time. The home was costly, but well worth the price. We would like to stay again.
