Attention to detail to “beach theme decor, flooring, walls, seating areas.” Resort fee was well worth the cost considering use of WiFi, beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys and beach towels. Beautiful deck views and beach access was awesome! Will definitely be returning:)

I loved that we could walk out of the hotel & hit the beach, walk the pier, or visit the shops & restaurants downtown. The upper deck was great for sunning during the day & relaxing around the firepit at night. Rooms were quaint & gave an upscale beachy vibe. Beds were comfy!

Great hotel next to the beach

Sand Castle is a very nice hotel right next to the beach. I believe it was recently renovated, it’s really nice and modern looking with the renovation. My room was very clean which is a MUST.
