We had randomly heard about the "sand castle" through a friend of the family and recently spent a weekend there in November. It was one of the best vacations we have in recollection. The house itself was beautiful with brand new appliances, huge tvs, and a very warm, chic feel to it. We were right on the beach which was completely deserted, and only had to look our front door to see a plethora of wildlife including osprey, crabs, porpoises, tarpon, and stingrays!! Also, the island itself is just delightful, with golf carts as the only means of transportation, and everyone being so friendly and welcoming, it's no wonder that people come to the island and never want to leave. The sand castle was a wonderful little get away complete with everything except the crowds. We highly recommend it, and cannot wait to come back!!!!
