We loved the house, it had plenty of space for our extended family. The view the from the house is great along with the outdoor spaces and the pool. We did pay for the pool to be heated and it was not when we arrived. After messaging the owner we were told it was broken and we would get a refund. Having the garage spaces as a drop zone area was also great. Well equipped kitchen but could use more kitchen towels. Only one beach chair provided but lots of beach toys! Overall great stay but disappointed about the pool heater.
This was a wonderful place to stay which only added to our great experience coming to the area for the first time! I would recommend this place most definitely!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5 star rating - it's much appreciated!
We enjoyed our stay at the Sand Castle! The pool and living spaces were a hit with our family. The beach view is great, and it’s on a quiet residential street. The only negative about the house is where the bathrooms are located. We made it work but have seen better layouts. The property management group communicated very well with us. All in all, we enjoyed it and would stay there again.
Great property! Very well equipped. We had 14 people and we had plenty of room for everyone. We never felt crowded. The owners were very thoughtful providing games and toys for the kids and a very well stocked kitchen. Plus beach towels and floats, etc. The view from both decks was amazing. Highly recommend this home!
Great home, location, communication, and family vacation. Everything was wonderful! We absolutely loved the Sandcastle and would love to return!

Hi Jonathan -- we're so glad you had such a great time at The Sand Castle! We look forward to welcoming you back anytime! Thanks for choosing to stay with The Proper Group!
This place was the perfect spot for the whole family to get together. Such easy beach access and the kids loved the pool and playing in the large living room. Amazing sunset views from the two huge porches. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a house big enough to fit the whole family!

Hi Jennifer -- We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Sand Castle! Thank you so much for choosing to stay with The Proper Group; we hope to host you again next time your travels bring you to our historic city.
Beautiful property just a short walk to the beach.Gorgeous view of the ocean and sunrise from the upper deck.I would have given 5 stars, however, we had no hot water for the duration of our stay. The property management company was not very responsive when reported.Still highly recommended.
Beautiful time staying at this property. We loved catching up with family sitting on the deck listening to the sounds of the waves. Quiet neighborhood great for walking. The beach was perfect with only a few others enjoying the sand and surf.

Susanne -- thanks for the awesome review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Sand Castle and we look forward to hosting you again!
The Sandcastle was a wonderful place to stay close to the beach. The house was extremely spacious and clean. Teenagers had their own space and rooms. Lots of decks plus the pool area to enjoy the outdoors. The beach was just a few minutes walk. A great family getaway!

We’re really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. Hope to host you again soon!
This house was very comfortable for my family and me to stay in for a weekend getaway. We each had our own space and it was able to accommodate 9 people comfortably. The bathroom situation is a little odd. There are three bathrooms, but two are in bedrooms. There is no bathroom on the entry level.
We are a group of six women who have been doing our trips for 32 years. This property had everything we look for when planning a fun trip. We loved all of the indoor and outdoor areas we had to congregate. Wonderful house and wonderful trip.

Hi Nanci -- this is one of our most popular homes thanks to its location and abundance of amenities. We're thrilled you and your friends had such a great experience there! Thanks for the awesome review; we look forward to welcoming you again anytime.
This was a perfect home to spend our week in St. Augustine! The views from this house are incredible and only steps away from the beach itself! The distance to downtown St. Augustine was about 15 minutes, which made the neighborhood nice and quiet as its away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. Property management was very prompt in responding to questions!

This house was perfect for a group of moms getting together for the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools, the beds were really comfortable, the living area and spaces were set up nicely for group chats and hang outs, the beach access was close, and everything was thought of (from ice, to toilet paper and soap). Fantastic Host, Fantastic House!

Hi Monica -- we're so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Sand Castle! We strive to meet our guest's expectations and it sounds like we exceeded them which is even better. Thank you for choosing to stay with The Proper Group and we look forward to hosting you again!
Great location and view. Balconies, kitchen/equipment outstanding. Great place for toddlers in spite of stairs- gates are in closet. Plenty of child toys and games. Best beach with access via walk across magical dunes. Pool was refreshing and perfect size for kids. Only distractions were loud volume from living area into bedrooms due to open floor plan (and we are not a raucous crew) and 2 Bedrooms with no BR access on their floor- took some trekking. The multiple stain glass windows are beautiful. The bidets on every toilet are a nice amenity. (Except for some first-timers!)We would have booked for next year at same time but already reserved!
Everything was great. The only thing that to be improved would be washer and dryer. They took forever to run a cycle. The timers said 54 min but would take a hour and a half. No sure if it’s a sensor issue or what.
We shared this home with another family and it was perfect. Clean, big, bright and the best-equipped VRBO we have stayed in. Tons of towels, beach items, and kitchen equipment. Everything is labeled and organized. We would definitely return!
