No Hassle Castle was a great place. We didn’t need to bring anything for the beach other than an umbrella. The pool was fun for the kids, two water slides. The views from the pool amazing for sunset pictures. The townhome itself was cozy and clean. It had everything we needed, no hassle at all!

Michael,
Thank you for the great review! You and your family are the perfect guests and we appreciate you taking such great care of our home. Please come back and visit us anytime.
Our family had a wonderful week at the no hassle sandcastle condo! Everything about the condo was just as described. Incredibly comfortable and accommodating. The resort was also amazing - beautiful pool, nice grill area and fishing dock. We took full advantage of all of it! And the best part, we were only a block away from the beach! We hope to come back again!
This property was perfect for my family. The condo was clean and comfortable. The pool and amenities on the property were amazing. Right out your back patio area was a courtyard with two charcoal grills. Right down the road to whitecap beach. Owner of the property was very responsive and helpful with nearby restaurants and things to do. The kitchen has most of what you need. Would definitely stay here again!!!
Phenomenal family vacation thanks to how beautiful the property was and how close it was to amenities, beaches and restaurants. The pool was literally around the corner and the beach is just a stones throw away. Everything was pristine and made us feel so comfortable and at home. If you have a pet, the little turf area is right outside the back door and made taking our little doxie out so easy. One of the best properties we have stayed at.

Thank you Carrie for the glowing review! It’s having guests like you that make us love our job. We hope to host you again soon 💜
Condo was wonderful. Great for a large group. Very clean and updated. Lots of kitchen accessories. Little hiccup with Wi-Fi owner was great and addressed it very quickly. Too far for my disabled husband to walk to beach so we ended up renting a golf cart. Thanks again.
