We chose The Sandcastle for our annual family getaway with our daughters and their partners and one 10 year old granddaughter. Everyone appreciated the space, comfort and activities available to enjoy in this lovely clean, spacious, bright and welcoming home. Communication with the host was easy and very helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Lucinda March

Hello! Thank you for checking out our home!
I live in Adelaide with my husband and 2 teenage daughters. We've been holidaying in Port Elliot since I was a teenager, and we simply adore it.

To say I am excited to be the new host of The Sandcastle is an understatement! I am very fortunate to be taking over from very experienced hosts and mentors, Hal and Shirley. Under Hal and Shirley's guidance, this home has earned a multitude of excellent reviews, and I am committed to upholding this standard.

I will aim to make your stay as comfortable and hassle-free as possible. Please reach out if you have any questions or requests - I will endeavour to reply to any enquiries as quickly as possible on the same day.

Why they chose this property

Many of our happiest memories with family and friends have been forged in Port Elliot. I'd be delighted to be your host and hope that you and your guests will enjoy your time here as much as we always do.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property due to its central location and layout. We really enjoy being able to walk everywhere in Port Elliot, whether it's a morning stroll to the beach picking up a lovely coffee on the way back, or a meal at one of the local pubs and a beer or glass of wine with friends. Our teenagers love the freedom that comes with being able to easily walk to the shops or beach.

The layout of the home with separate living areas upstairs and downstairs, plus the fantastic outdoor area gives everyone space to relax and enjoy themselves. The pool table and games room area is terrific.

The property also has great accessibility, with the master bedroom, ensuite bathroom and 3rd toilet downstairs, along with kitchen, dining, living and outdoor entertaining areas.
