You are also a 2 minute drive from a nice, large public park on the beach (Pelican Park).

Perfect

We had a great experience with this property for an impromptu trip to the beach. The owner was very accommodating and responsive and the location was so convenient. The beach was so beautiful. The Mexican restaurant right across the street was delicious and the ice cream shop down the road perfect as well. We had a great experience.

The pool was perfect for our grandchildren. They spent alot of time in it. The landscape and grounds were immaculately kept. The kitchen extremely well furnished. The proximity to the beach was perfect.The owner, Richard, was easy to deal with and answered questions prior to our arrival promptly. We all had a great time.

Great experience

The property was very nice, and right across the street from a great beach. If you're lugging a bunch of beach gear, there are a couple of very close parking areas with ramp access to the beach. Great restaurants nearby, and if you like Mexican food there's a restaurant that you'll be surprised how quickly you can get there. If I go back to Satellite Beach, I would 100% go back to this house. Thanks Richard for everything.

This Is A Beach House

My wife and I have been visiting Atlantic beaches and their houses since at least as far back as 1966 including the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Today, at an age of higher expectations, we expect a good beach house to have the usual amenities of clothes washer/drier, dish washer, multiple TV’s, WiFi, and comfortable bedding. This home had them all and performed well. While there is nothing wrong with a beach home looking to be a story for Southern Beach Home, a good beach home to me should be livable for its setting, that is: beach sand happens, sea shells sometimes appear in unexpected places, furniture is used, but stands up to occasional hard use. We met our host, Richard, at our check-in as he was finishing up a little last minute lawn mowing. He was as amiable and cooperative in person as he had been during our VRBO messaging. Lastly, this home was a slam dunk for it’s location with a short walk to the beach, a short drive to a Publix grocery, and many options for fishing, bird watching, and beach combing. Oh, and have I mentioned the satellite launches and museums to document the nation’s space program. You can’t miss with this genuine Beach House.

Fabulous location! Responsive host

This home was the perfect place to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday! Twelve family members easily accommodated with the perfect living room and dining area for a large gathering. The heated pool was a great area for a family hang out at after a busy day. The location is close to the beach with easy access to nearby attractions and activities. Definitely recommend this home. Our only concern was with cleanliness . While bathrooms and the kitchen were cleaned well, some other areas needed closer attention. The bedding was questionable so we washed prior to use. Concerns about the ability to keep the house clean during the stay ( a week long with two crawling infants) with just a broom and dustpan was quickly addressed by the host. My family had a wonderful week and really enjoyed our stay at this property

I live Satellite!!

This house was as perfect as perfect could get . It sleeps up to 18 people comfortably! The pool is blocked from bugs. My family stayed here before we boarded a cruise and we enjoyed one another. Games for the family, I would recommend this home to everybody that needs a big home for a vacation in Florida. Beach straight across the street walking distance. Gas station in walking distance! Mexican restaurant for MARGARITAS in WALKING distance. I love it!! The property owner was very helpful he responds in a timely manner. Made hisself available for my late arrival plus accommodated my early check in. ***** definitely

Felt like I was walking into a Pottery Barn catalog!

I was here for a night as I had come to Florida for work, a college visit for my son as well as a trip to Disney. Despite the busy itinerary, since I live up North, I had wanted to squeeze in a visit to the beach. I am so glad I did as it has been a highlight. I have stayed at many vacation rentals with my family as we like additional space over what a hotel typically provides. This property was exceptional and exceeded what I typically encounter during my frequent travels. The property was updated and fresh with top notch furnishings and appointments. It was directly across from the beach, which we enjoyed during a morning walk sipping our coffee, and it had a lighted, heated pool which my family used during a late night swim. My family liked this property so much that we have booked another night and will be returning again in a few days after we visit the parks in Orlando before flying back home. We are excited.

A great vacation home

Every year 5 couples and a few of our kids and grandkids, get together for a few days. This year we had the good fortune to have found this wonderful property. This 5 bedroom home is spacious and comfortable. The beach is only a short distance. There are good breaks in the traffic flow which allows safe crossings over A1A. There were even turtle sightings coming up the beach to lay her eggs. So very special! There were games and movies provided and Netflix, amazon prime, Hulu...lots and lots of tv options, but spending time at the beach or pool took up most of our days and nights! The kitchen is small but we got into a rhythm ... one preps and the other cooks, it all worked out fine. The dining table is huge and everyone had a seat. We all had a great time and we will be coming back in the future. Thank you for the memorable few days we had...it wasn’t long enough!!

Satellite Beach House

The satellite beach house was very nice and big for our family of 12 and there was enough room for all of us. We all absolutely loved the pool and even though the weather was a little cold, the pool was nice and warm so we were able to continue to have a lot of fun! The only thing we did not like about the location of this house is the description of the beach being right across the road does not disclose how busy that road was. Yes the beach is right across the road, however, that road was an extremely busy road to cross which was extremely difficult to do with the young children we had. Other then the busy road we absolutely loved everything else! Richard was very quick to respond with anything we needed and very attentive! Thank you Richard! We loved the house and pool, we loved the private beach, and we loved swimming in the ocean. There were also convenient stores and restaurants close by! We would book this house and location again in the future! Thank you for letting us stay!

This house was perfect for our family of 9. Ground floor had 3 bedrooms (king, queen w/ensuite, and full bunkbeds) and full bathroom in hallway. Kitchen was small but very nice and well equipped with everything we needed. Dining room and living room on ground floor was open and great gathering spot. Upstairs has a queen bedroom and a king bedroom, full bathroom, living room, and small kitchen. Upstairs kitchen was very small and dated, but functional. We didn’t use it at all. We always gravitated in the ground floor area. Pool was great! Beach is right across the road. Be patient and carltch the timing of the traffic lights and easy enough to cross. The public beach access only allowed for 1 car and 1 golf cart which equated to us feeling like we had our own private beach. Only 1 other family on beach for 100 yards on either side of us. It was amazing! We had no issues with rocks mentioned in another review. Lots of great restaurants within 10 minutes. Recommend the The Red Crab, Too Cool Cafe and Surfing Turtle Ice Cream were a few of our favorites. Publix and Walmart within 3 miles. Great movie theater with recliner seating within 1/2 mile. Quiet laid back place. Host communicated promptly to any questions throughout our stay. House was clean and exit process was easy. We will definitely be back! Enjoy!

Excellent Vacation

The house is exactly what we were looking for, close to the beach and had a great restaurant next door. Beach was very rocky, but we were able to walk down a little and find a spot we could swim. House accommodated our three families only downside was the need to move vehicles as they only wanted two in the driveway, and it was difficult to get bigger vehicles in the small garage.

Family vacation

We had a great time during our stay in Satellite Beach. The house had plenty of room for our whole family. The pool was great and we spent many hours playing in it. The beach is a short walk away. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend much time at the beach due to the amount of seaweed. So, we were even more thankful to have a pool. We would definitely stay here again, and are planning to next year.

Great House for family vacation

This house is great for large extended family gatherings. We loved the large table for meals together and the large sectional sofa. We spent so much time in the pool too. The house is close to the beach but the road was a little busy to get the little ones across. The wagon we brought helped with that. The owner was fantastic with correspondence and very accommodating! We had a wonderful week together!

A Plus

We rented this house for the month of March for a multigenerational family. Everything was as the pictures showed and was very clean when we arrived. Richard was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and quick to respond. There were new linens and plenty of towels and beach towels. Having the washer and dryer was very helpful. The kitchen table was huge; we could all sit down together for meals. Because we were a large group, having the second kitchen upstairs was a bonus. Very close to the beach and we loved the little Mexican restaurant across the street. We had a lovely time. Thank you Richard.

Needs a deep cleaning

While some updates have been made, there’s quite a few areas that need some attention. The air vent (ceiling) in the kitchen/dining area is filthy. The bathrooms are in serious need of updating. 1 of the sinks leaks. It wasn’t clear from the listing that the upstairs area is separate & could potentially be rented by a different group at the same time. The location is not the greatest. Having said all that, the owner was very responsive & helpful. The pool was great!

40th Birthday trip

We had 11 of us stay at the house and it never felt like there were 11 of us. The house was a great set up and awesome location! We had ages from 70 years old to 5 years old. Everyone had someone to do. The Property owner was incredibly responsive. If we had any questions, we would message through the app and within seconds we had a response. It was THE best vacation!! We went to Universal and Kennedy Space Center during the trip. We are all talking about doing the trip again and hopefully this location will be available again because it was perfect. Definitely felt like home away from home. Thank you Richard for providing such a wonderful place for my family to enjoy sometime together.!

Host profile image
Hi!
My name is Richard. I have had a career finding ways to make customers happier. I continually strive to make my guests stay at "The Sand Castle" nicer. I have lovingly cared for this Florida beach house you are considering for many years. I live nearby and am always a quick text or phone call away; I respond very quickly to any questions or issues. I look forward to giving you a great experience here.

Sincerely,
Richard

Why they chose this property

I have lived in, maintained and cared for this property for more than two decades. It is a comfortable, spacious, well-maintained property close to the beach: walk in the sand and surf, view pelicans flying by, and enjoy the great local Mexican restaurant Little Dos that is at the end of the street!

What makes this property unique

An on-site heated pool in a screened pool house is available 24/7. Comfortable lanai with picnic table and sofa to eat/relax in the fresh air. You have free high speed WiFi throughout the house and the pool area. There is free laundry on-site and six or seven parking spaces in the driveway (depending on car size). The city does not allow RV parking.
There are TV's in all bedrooms with Netflix, Hulu, other channels and DVD/BlueRay players.
The second floor of the house gives you nice ocean views and is surrounded by windows making it sunny and bright. There are sliding doors on three sides allowing for the ocean breeze to come through softly and enjoyably. There is a dining area on both floors. The one on the second floor allows views of the ocean in the near distance. The sunrises, visible from the kitchen, dining area and master bedroom can be glorious!
Several grocery stores are just a 3 to 5 minute drive away as is Pelican Beach park with extensive picnic facilities.
The setting is peaceful and comfortable. Stay here for a fantastic experience: relaxing and fun.
Sincerely, Richard
