Great house with a lot of space. I love that it was directly on the beach and had great amenities on the patio to rinse after a beach day. Views from both living rooms were gorgeous. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything we needed to cook our meals. My 6yr old loved the foosball table and pacman game. We had zero issues to report during our stay which is always pleasant. This was our first stay in SGI and will definitely be back. My only complaint is the rug in the top/main living room needs to be replaced. It was extremely worn and if you sat on it you ended up with fibers all over your clothes and it created a mess all over the floor just from walking on it.
This house is massive and well kept. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy views from every floor. Host and management company were both very responsive and addressed things quickly. The location can’t be beat being right on the water with kids. Highly recommend for family vacations!
Such a beautiful property, on one of the most peaceful beaches in the world.
I really enjoyed staying here it was quiet and peaceful. The ocean is just a few short feet away from your condo.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Absolutely beautiful beach front property. Loved the location near the State Park, as the beach was very quiet. Liked the gated community as well as the pool and property amenities. Appreciated no beach restrictions, as we have experienced on other beaches. Property was very clean yet very dated. Very well stocked yet carpeting, area rugs, and furnishings were worn and dirty. Although we have booked many vacations through VRBO, this was our first experience where we received booking and confirmation information through THREE different management companies .. extremely confusing.We will continue to explore this area and even the gated community; yet, will most likely not return to this property.
Felt that things could have been a little cleaner. The fridge had mold on the water dispenser. The cooking pans had to be rewashed and the two trash bags only for the trash was a bummer. Popcorn and food under the upstairs couch. I wished we could have used the hot tub. It was broke the entire time we were there. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed the extra room and peace and quiet but if I could change some things then I would address some of the above.
Sandcastle was spacious & allowed for great gatherings and easy relaxation.

Great house! Very comfortable and livable.
We had a wonderful time with this property. We had our entire family down and had plenty of room. That combined with the relaxing feeling of St George Island and the perks of the Sunset Beach Subdivision made for a great vacation.

Paul we are very glad you enjoyed your stay and let us know if you ever want to return. S’mores are a fantastic idea on the beach!
We were all blown away by this wonderful property, its location within the beautiful gated neighborhood, the ease of access to the beach, the style and comfort of the house itself with big balconies overlooking the beach all fitted our family perfectly.

Fantastic Property
We loved this place. Came for a couple days and this is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. Love the view from the balcony, the kitchen, the master, and the large seating area. The master bathroom is nice and plenty big for 2. The greatroom up top is really a nice touch.
The house and location is perfect. Enjoyed a relaxing Spring Break. It would be nice to have some beach chairs for those guest that fly in. We ended up buying some and leaving them at the house. Thanks!
I can’t say enough about the property and the owner. Beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico which is less than 100 yards from the front of the house. Home and amenities are first class.

Thank you Robert we appreciate you choosing our home and glad you had a great stay!
What a fabulous property. We loved the heated community pool and the views of the beach made even rainy days amazing. We had 6 adults, 4 kids, & a toddler. The closet in the master bedroom made a great baby room! We loved looking for crabs at night, walking the beach, and exploring the restaurant in town. It was an amazing vacation!
I went to St. George with six of my best friends to relax, play cards, do puzzles and ride bikes. Sandcastle is a lovely, large house that has an amazing view of the gulf and plenty of room to spread out. Sean is an amazing host and I would love to go back there and take my family next time.

Lee thank you for the kind words. Since you are my first review under 5 stars I want to make sure you know how very sorry we were about the AC compressor breaking down on the top floor. And the length to get in some cooler air. hope to see you all back sometime. But this time with cooler air!
My wife and I had a wonderful week at Sandcastle. We may (begrudgingly) bring the rest of the family for our next stay. But probably not. Thanks Sean for a great wonderful week and sharing your lovely home with us.
