Sandcastle....

The home was delightful. Very clean and as described. The only reason it did not get all 5 Stars was the contact number for the on site person was incorrect but the owner is now aware of that. I would not hesitate to rent this again or recommend it to others.

Sandcastle Noord Aruba

Great property to stay at. We really spent most of our time in the outdoor space. Pool, hot tub, 2 grills, pizza oven and tiki bar, why wouldn't you be there enjoying the sun. The inside was clean and spacious and has everything you need to feel at home. With in walking distance to Superfoods (for supplies and groceries) and the fofoti trees on Eagle beach. They were kind enough to leave is a bottle of wine and the material to make 2 pizzas as a welcoming gift. Thanks Gail. You have a great property!.

Sandcastle

We have stayed here before so we knew what to expect for the most part. Julie the property manager was excellent and Gail and Richard are wonderful people they even came and brought us a crockpot!! The house is an older home which meant there were a few hiccups with things however they were promptly dealt with and the price I this place gives you so much bang for the buck (we are Canadian lol). Thank so much Gail, Eichard and Julie for filling my bucket once again

Great Property in Great Location

We love staying at the Sandcastle! It's a beautiful property in a wonderful location. We love to stop by the grocery store (<2 min away), head to the beach, and then finish the day cooling off in the pool in the beautiful backyard oasis. Thank you for your hospitality and another wonderful stay in Aruba! We are ready to plan our next trip!

Everything was perfect at the Sandcastle! Definitely would give it 5 Stars!

We loved everything about this place. From the moment we arrived, to meet the owners, who were in town, to the time we left, everything was perfect! It was spacious, had a great pool and back yard bar/patio area, which we all enjoyed! It is within walking distance of the beach (approx. 15-20 minutes) and very close to the grocery store. We would definitely stay again!

Great Spot, Out of the Way

Our stay was quite nice, and we enjoyed what amenities were offered. Especially the hot tub. There were some issues with drainage in one of the showers, but otherwise all amenities were in good shape. I recommend you rent a car as we did to get around!

Sand Castle Review

My family of 12, including my husband, 4 kids and 6 grandchildren stayed at Sandcastle for 8 nights. It was wonderful. The kids loved the pool. The property manager was super responsive and easy to work with, the owner was very responsive through the reservation process and questions. Highly recommend this property!

Retirement celebration

Our week at Sandcastle was wonderful. So close to the best beach I’ve ever been to (Eagle Beach). It was great to relax with morning coffee poolside, cook together in the spacious kitchen/dining room and gather for games or TV late into the evening. The Island itself offers more than you can possible do in one short week. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful property in quiet neighborhood! Property is central to downtown and the beaches.

The Sandcastle property added to the experience of my first trip to this truly Happy Island. Our host Julie and owners Gail and Richard helped our group immediately feel welcomed and provided useful of recommendations for adventures and dining experiences. All our expectations of the property were easily met. Gail and Richard added some little personal touches that really added to our trip. The home is cozy, spacious, well maintained and equipped for your stay. The outdoor pool area was are perfect for lazy mornings in or late nights after a day of exploring the island. Sandcastle and the island's beauty combine for a perfect vacation.

Amazing house and experience!

The house was amazing. It fit all of our needs. We spent tons of time in the back by the pool with the outside bar/grill area. Super relaxing and made us not even feel like we needed to leave the house. I will say that it is not in walking distance to the beach and you should definitely get a rental car when staying here. Super convenient to the grocery store and dive shop. You could walk to both. If you dive, use the mermaid dive shop around the corner. I would definitely rent this house again if we come back to Aruba!

Amazing home & location

Sandcastle was an amazing home! The pictures do not do it justice. We loved the pool, hot tub & Tiki Bar! The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes & cooking utensils. There were plenty of towels & beach towels. The bedrooms were spacious and each one was colorfully themed. The beds were very comfortable. We loved that it was centrally located between Eagle and Palm Beach and very conveniently located to Superfoods. Any questions we had, Gail, the property owner, answered in a timely manner. It was like our home away from home. We loved our stay at Sandcastle. We had an amazing time there! Thank you Gail!!

Sandcastle Rocks!

It was a Girl's Trip to Sandcastle. The home was clean, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed to cook and party! Relaxing by the pool was a plus. We loved the gas grill and cooked and dined in the backyard, which was very nice. It was a quick walk to Super Foods market for everything we needed. However, we all thought that a walk to Eagle Beach was much more challenging since traffic was crazy, and a lot further than a 20 minute walk. Also, the steps were a bit of a challenge for 2 of us with knee issues, but we managed fine. All in all, the 4 of us had a great time and would recommend Sandcastle.

Awesome house! A little dated. Needs a few upgrades but overall location and house was great!

Had a few problems with the door locks…. Got locked out of one of the rooms. Mgmt company was a little slow in responding the next day. No toilet plunger on site. Beach cooler was locked in garage. Mgmt company had to come. Some of the Pool furniture outside needs to be replaced. Great location!!!! Love love Aruba!!

Three stars

The property was located in an alley, there was a large dog next door that barked every night, which disturbed my rest & neighbor never tried to calm it. The shower didn't drain well in the bathrooms, I didn't have a bathroom light in the fish room until the last night of my stay, we could not use the hot tub due to a maintenance issue, which I was told I needed to repair, ( not my home nor should it have been my problem to fix) other than these issues the home was as advertised, I wish the advertisement explained in better detail as far as the price for all six bedrooms, gail did clarify afterwards. Julie the house host, was pleasant & accommodating

About the host

Hosted by Gail Childress

we (Richard and Gail Childress) are married since 1976, we love hiking, sailing,
and outback riding. Aruba has all this and more. this is why we bought this house.
the people are so nice and family oriented. everyone is so mannered and respectable to all vistors.

Why they chose this property

this property for the location and amenities. this quiet home , but so close to all
the action of the high rise. trade winds always blowing . this is because the way
this home is situated on the land. You can walk the neighborhood safely . and
you can also walk to the largest and newest food store on the island. you
never want to leave this wonderful retreat.

What makes this property unique

Cool down in your private pool .The tiki bar has a ice maker , fridge. and a sink. there is a charcoal grill and an electric grill, this is your choice. You also have a two burner grill for those large pots, like having a seafood boil. The list goes on. and the big plus is you are soooo close to all the night life and sights that Aruba has to offer!!!!!. Location Location Location!!!!!!!!
