"We stayed in Castaways 8B from 09.11.2024 through 09.16.2024. Things of note: the coffee maker is a drip coffee maker, there is a great blow dryer in the master bathroom, the water pressure was excellent, internet worked fine. The appliances and ice maker worked great. 8B was clean and quiet with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and clean kitchen and bathroom linens. There were menus and money saving coupons in the kitchen—we saved money at restaurants and attractions. Castaways was clean and safe...

It was very comfortable but needs deep cleaning and a few upgrades. I would stay here again and hope to return next year. We have been happy with every unit we have stayed in at the Castaways. Great access to the beach."
