Great location

We enjoyed our stay at the Sand Castle! The pool and living spaces were a hit with our family. The beach view is great, and it’s on a quiet residential street. The only negative about the house is where the bathrooms are located. We made it work but have seen better layouts. The property management group communicated very well with us. All in all, we enjoyed it and would stay there again.

Great property! Very well equipped. We had 14 people and we had plenty of room for everyone. We never felt crowded. The owners were very thoughtful providing games and toys for the kids and a very well stocked kitchen. Plus beach towels and floats, etc. The view from both decks was amazing. Highly recommend this home!

This place was the perfect spot for the whole family to get together. Such easy beach access and the kids loved the pool and playing in the large living room.

This was a perfect home to spend our week in St. Augustine! The views from this house are incredible and only steps away from the beach itself! The distance to downtown St. Augustine was about 15 minutes, which made the neighborhood nice and quiet as its away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. Property management was very prompt in responding to questions!

Great location and view. Balconies, kitchen/equipment outstanding. Great place for toddlers in spite of stairs- gates are in closet. Plenty of child toys and games. Best beach with access via walk across magical dunes. Pool was refreshing and perfect size for kids. Only distractions were loud volume from living area into bedrooms due to open floor plan (and we are not a raucous crew) and 2 Bedrooms with no BR access on their floor- took some trekking. The multiple stain glass windows are beautiful. The bidets on every toilet are a nice amenity. (Except for some first-timers!)We would have booked for next year at same time but already reserved!

Everything was great. The only thing that to be improved would be washer and dryer. They took forever to run a cycle. The timers said 54 min but would take a hour and a half. No sure if it’s a sensor issue or what.

Fantastic Stay!

Had a wonderful experience at the Sandcastle! Plenty of space for our group of 10 adults, especially the common areas, kitchen and balconies. Loved the vaulted ceilings and views from both outdoor spaces. House was sparkling clean and Jordan was very responsive. East beach access and a short drive to restaurants and downtown St. Augustine. Would have been nice to have one additional bathroom/half bath on the 1st or 2nd floor, but overall was a wonderful stay!
