Great Location

Beautiful home - only downside was that there are a lot of steps to get into the house, so as long as everyone in the group is mobile it is a wonderful place to stay.

This was our 25th annual family retreat with all our kids and grandkids, and we made so many amazing and fun family memories together at this property! The house was very accommodating for our every need. The view of the ocean is amazing and the access to the ocean is easy. When the ocean was to chilly the pool was where we swam. The front patio area was probably our favorite hangout spot with its great views, we had a fire at night and played games during the day. We will be booking this property again in the future. Our entire family truly enjoyed it.

Great stay for family celebration

We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our 3 adult children and their families, 15 people total. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was spacious, clean and everything we needed was there. Being right accross the street from the beach was a huge hit with everyone. We would absolutely love to stay again.

Perfect stay for our 25 anniversary vow renewal!

This home was absolutely perfect for our group! Big kitchen to cook and windows galore. Perfect little nooks for reading and great spaces to gather for food and games. The heated pool was amazing no matter the weather outside. Location couldn’t have been more perfect, don’t forget to catch the amazing sunset! We hope to stay again someday but will cherish our memories until then.

Family Getaway

The house far exceeded our expectations. It was massive, with multiple family rooms, bathrooms, more beds than we needed, an amazingly stocked kitchen, and of course, spectacular views. We loved that we could gather when we wanted to but retreat to our own areas for privacy or quiet. Would love to come back in the summer to utilize the pool!

family gathering

This was an amazing, well supplied, beautiful home which was appreciated and a blessing to all of us. We are a family of 16 so finding a home "next to" the beach accommodating all is quite difficult. Castle by the Sea met our expectations and beyond. Celebrating 54 years of marriage with children and grandchildren is special and we feel grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This wonderful home had plenty of room for the 8 adults in our family. Everyone was happy with their room assignments and the 4 bathrooms eliminated waiting time. The heated pool was great but the ocean view patio became the main gathering spot. Can't say enough about the location, the fantastic ocean views, and the space for a large group. We rent frequently from VRBO and this home is one of our all time favorites!
