This was the second time we’ve stayed at this beach house and we absolutely adore it. It is the perfect size for a family of 4 plus 2 dogs. The direct access to the beach is incredible and the view from the porch is lovely. We can’t wait to come back.

Great house! We really enjoyed our stay. It’s location is wonderful right on the beach. It could use a full length mirror. Also, because of the high cabinets and a dryer with hard to reach controls, a step ladder would be helpful. We appreciated the keyless entry and the clear directions for check-in and check-out.

IOP Cottage on the Beach

Sandcastle is a cozy cottage set among multilevel beach houses in IOP. Its location on the beach is very convenient and quiet. It is fairly well furnished though the cottage shows its age and could use some updating. The large yard and proximity to the beach access boardwalk make it a great place to bring your dog. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great Location

In a sea of giant houses on postage stamps, this house was the perfect combination— roomy 3 bedroom, space for everyone to spread out, and enough yard for it to feel private and family friendly! Having the beach walkway right by the house was ideal. Can’t wait to return!
