Overall an okay experience- all items were not removed by previous renters, had not been cleaned fully, washing machine would not clean towels, dryer would not dry even after 3 cycles, and shower pressure/hot water was no sufficient for it to be a 4 bath home. Overall it was a fine experience but nothing outstanding.

Very relaxing spring break

Sandy Castle is perfectly situated in Gulf Shores--close to the action but far away from the crowds. Our family loved the beach access and the open-concept kitchen/living room/dining area. The deck and balcony upstairs provided for some amazing sunsets and a perfect perch for eventing cocktails. The kitchen has ample cookware, plates and utensils. Sandy Castle is a lovely home, but there are obvious signs of water intrusion in the ceilings and the walls (water stains and paint bubbling with water inside). I would also recommend bringing your own clothes hangars because they were very sparse. Lastly, the washing machine did not clean our clothes at all, so it's best to pack for the entire length of stay and not rely on doing laundry in the house (or perhaps find a laundromat). Overall, the "goods" outweighed the "bads" and my family had a wonderful vacation for our first time in Gulf Shores.
