The sea castle is an ideal accommodation for multiple families traveling together. It provided each family with its own floor and living space when needed. The beds were comfortable, and the views from every level of the house were absolutely spectacular. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the recreation room, which featured a pool table and hot tub right outside. The beach was amazing, and access to it was easy. We only wish we had taken advantage of the bonfire or chair setup, but unfortunately, the weather and New Year’s Day prevented us from doing so. The communication was excellent. A little surprised by the lack of toilet paper and trash bags, but that must be standard practice. We highly recommend and would happily return.

The house and it’s views were absolutely amazing. We loved that our teenagers had space to chill downstairs and our littles loved the bunk room on the top floor. Was a perfect set up. Lots of dishes to cook, ice machines helped so much with 15 people, and double dishwasher is great. Would rent a million times over!!
