Perfect Beach Vacation

I stayed at this condo for a week with my wife and three kids, and it was perfect for us. The beach is only steps away, and was very clean and not crowded. We loved the stairs down from the balcony to the pool and hot tub. We also met several other condo owners and visitors and everyone was very friendly for the most part. If you are looking for a place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation, look no further!

Family Vacation

We loved the view! The white sand and turquoise water was absolutely beautiful! We loved being able to walk out the door and be right there. We enjoyed being able to cook and the grills outside were an added bonus. We had plenty of room for six adults and one little one :). We hope to come back next year! It was great family time! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Great Coastal Condo

Excellent stay with my son’s family, which included our grandchildren ranging in age from 3-14. We all really enjoyed the convenience on the spiral staircase to the pool deck and super quick access to the beach. Just a few minor glitches that were easily resolved by communicating with Philip. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and cozy accommodations!

We had a wonderful time at Sandcastle III! This property was perfectly located in IRB with convenient access to all surrounding locations. The property opens directly onto the beach (no sand dunes to traverse) and, therefore, offered an optimal view of the ocean/beach. The rooms were well appointed, and the kitchen was well equipped and provided ample counterspace for meals. The owner was communicative of important information and reminders, as well as highly responsive to questions. We had 4 adults and an almost 2-year-old. The space of the condominium was ample. We rented a Ford Expedition for our vacation, and it fit fine within the designated covered parking spot. My husband and I have stayed at each of the Sandcastles at this point (I, II, and III), and this was our favorite. I would recommend this unit, and any other units managed by this owner, to anyone looking for a stress-free vacation!

Great location and good view from unit.

The location was convenient to many things and the beachfront unit was awesome. Easy access to the pool/spa and beach. The unit was not 100% clean, the hall bathtub was stained black and the balcony had a jumbled mess of chairs, beach toys etc in disarray. An organizer for those items would be helpful and disposing of broken items would be less of an eye sore. The owner made check in simple and said to call if anything was needed or we had questions. One complaint, I would suggest not texting a guest in the early morning hours requesting the guest perform a task. The guest is on vacation and probably does not want to be disturbed. First time I have ever experienced something like that while on vacation.

Sand Castle III

We had an awesome week! Best feature was the beautiful views of the ocean from the deck! The kitchen was well supplied to make cooking-in easy to do. The spiral staircase to the pool area was a great extra feature. The owner is easy to contact and responds quickly. We totally enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!

Right on the Beach!

Excellent stay at Sandcastle III, super easy beach and pool access with the spiral staircase right off of the balcony! Sunsets can be enjoyed from the balcony or a few steps down to the beach. Property was very clean and well maintained. Visited over Christmas and the heated pool and hot tub were great on for the relatively cooler December weather. Our host Philip was very responsive and great to work with. Would stay at this property again!

Fantastic week

we had a fantastic week. It was a perfect size condo for my family. Had everything we needed. The spiral staircase was perfect for my family to go back when needed. The area was so quaint and didn't have a big city feel with people everywhere but still close enough to grocery, shops, restaurants. We have no complaints about the week. Can't wait to come back!! Thank you so much!!
