A truly special place to stay - great memories
Marketed differently, the Sandcastle could be a tourism attraction on it's own right - an architectural passion project of an eccentric millionaire. Let me just say that the photos - which are great - simply don't do the actual property justice. This is a place you need to actually see to believe. For starters, they don't begin to capture the scale of the building and the grounds. It's huge. We were at guest capacity and never felt crowded. Between gazebos, nooks and patios there were plenty of places to get away. The grounds themselves were huge and wonderfully maintained. Secondly, the photos don't give a sense of the functionality. For a unique property like this, form can often come at the expense of usability, but here everything from the kitchen to the stairs and pool deck just made sense. Third, the staff and crew were great. We were welcomed with a bottle of tequila (a great surprise after a long day of travel), and our property manager. At all times there was on-site security at the gatehouse and walking the grounds. Maintenance and hospitality were also present at various times to turn things over and make sure everything was working. Even with them there, we always felt private. Overall, a great experience. Everyone felt very safe and really loved the Sandcastle. Wonderful memories. If there was one nitpick, the cost difference for additional guests is pretty high - the difference between, say 14 guests and 16 or 18 shouldn't add as much as it does.

Not safe
IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ARE STAYING WITH YOU DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE! We were on a family vacation and woke up to a robber in our bedroom at 2:00 am. I chased him out but found out that he had been in all six bedrooms and stole the cash from each bedroom. In addition, he stole an I-pad. The issues are: 1. The house is very remote with only one other residence being occupied within 1 kilometer. 2. The storm last year took out the side wall and the back wall. They were around 10 feet in height and prevented access to the property. 3. The owner replaced them with minimal walls that provide absolutely no security. Anyone can walk onto the property at any time, even stray dogs. There was no thought given to the safety of the guests. 4. Recently there have been robberies at the closed Surfs Up Restaurant and homes further down the beach. Note: The pictures on the VRBO website are old and do not show the actual situation. In addition, the pictures show a covered bar area that we were looking forward to but is no longer there. I recommend that VRBO updates their website to reflect the reality of the area around the pool. Until the owner resolves the security issue, I do not recommend that anyone stays here.

So Much Fun
Day after day, this property grew on us. Apparently, there was a huge storm surge 4 months ago that wiped out some of the rear of the facility. So, no fence along the back, some stairs to beach, but not all the way, and no bar area by pool. Nonetheless, we had a fabulous time. Lots of stairs, but that provides many levels and privacy if you wish. We did rent cars which allowed for adventures. But we ended up spending the last 4 mornings at Las Brujas beach (5 min away by car). With 5 children under 5 and 5 adults, we could not have found a more perfect beach. Small waves for kid on shoreline plus big ones for boogie boarding farther out. Lunch, naps (adults played mini golf on rather beaten up course, but still fun) and pool at the house in the afternoon. Pool was perfect temperature and hot tub attached provided a warm area for those preferring it. All of the kids loved both and we spent a few hours in the water until sunset…spectacular every night! We did play on the tennis court which is in good condition, but would be nice if 4 decent rackets and some balls were provided (or say to bring balls). Only thing that would be better is a way to fit 10 people around one table to eat. This may not matter depending on the configuration of your group. We informed Rafael, house manager, of small things that were bothersome and he was accommodating. All in all, we loved this property and had a wonderful and fun time.

Spectacular!
From the moment we booked the Sandcastle (a year prior to our travel!) we were excited to spend the holidays with our kids/grandkids at this beautiful house on the beach. We were not disappointed! There were 13 of us in our party, 8 adults/5 children. With four stories and 6 bedrooms we had plenty of space to spread out. Common areas were spacious enough to be together. We spent most of our time at the pool area and the beach which was literally at our "back door"! Amazing! We spent so much time by the pool we almost forgot to explore the grounds. Everyday there was something new to explore. The onsite housekeeper & houseman made our stay extra enjoyable. They definitely went above and beyond in making our stay comfortable, enjoyable but most of all memorable! Thanks so much to Cindy and Rafael for taking such good care of us during our stay. We already miss sleeping to the sounds of the ocean and morning coffee on the rooftop. We are ALL looking forward to coming back to the Sandcastle!

Fun with friends, old and new!
We recently got back after a weeks stay at the Sandcastle. I can't exclaim enough about how much fun and relaxing our stay was. First and foremost, Rafael and Cindy went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Very polite and charming. Rafael was very helpful with advice on all the ins and outs of Mazatlan. For those concerned about staying outside the golden zone, fear not! After taking a day trip to the golden zone and their beaches it was plain to see how good of a choice we made! The property was nothing short of stunning in every aspect. We are definately planning on making this a yearly adventure!

Family Vacation 2019
16 family members stayed at the Sandcastle in November 2019. This villa is amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. The grounds are huge and meticulously cared for. The house is spacious , especially most of the bedrooms. Two of the rooms are perfect for parents with children.. the pool, hot tub and bar area is large with plenty of lounge chairs. The beach is very private, you will have it mostly to yourself . The 6 year olds loved boogie boarding with adult supervision you may get lucky with having the oyster divers right out front, buy some! Rafael and Cindy are gems. Rafael will do anything for you: bartend, cook, shop, arrange taxis etc. Overall it was 5 star and we would definitely come back.

It's Amazing! You need to stay here!
I can’t say enough about what a wonderful stay we had at this amazing human Sandcastle. The place is extraordinary! 10 of us stayed for 6 nights to celebrate my 40th birthday. Rafael and Cindy were amazing! They helped make our stay very easy, hospitable, and enjoyable. Lionne and Lori were also very helpful in finding and arranging things for us to do. They were prompt with communication, and we felt the costs were fair and clearly communicated. The property is very well managed and cared for. The architect was amazing too and definitely valued interesting and engaging grounds as well as a fascinatingly designed manse. The interior is cooler than the pics give it credit for. It is literally a human created sandcastle for humans. Every child’s dream. You will probably want a car if you plan to go out for food and drink. There is a café next door with live music from 1-4pm Wednesday-Saturday, otherwise you are on your own in a secluded area of the beach, which is filled with beautiful sea glass. It’s nice to be off the beaten path a bit, but Rafael can help arrange transportation and other activities if you need help organizing and planning outings. Overall, I highly recommend this place! We’re planning to be back within the year!
