Perfection
5/5 stars
The home is beautifully furnished, extremely well stocked, exceptionally clean, and very quiet! Being quite close to other properties, we couldn’t believe the solitude! The beach was private and just a hop, skip and and jump away. The pool area was lovely and convenient. All of the “major” attractions are also very close by. Well worth the money!!

Denise, thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you come again soon!

Heaven on earth

This rental was heaven on earth for our family! The pool was perfect, the location was perfect, and the home was perfect! We were able to sit around the large table and eat as a family. We sliced watermelon and watched fireworks on the back patio. We felt like locals and enjoyed every part of our stay at The Sand Castle!

We love the Sandcastle
5/5 stars
We initially booked this unit through VRBO. We were informed a few weeks ahead of time that this unit was being sold to new owners and our reservation will be a seamless transition from one owner to the next. It was absolutely was as seamless as they said it would. Owners communication was top notch. We absolutely love this town and this unit. Easy walk to the beach. Close to some great restaurants (Sunset Grille, Saltwater Cowboys and Taco Libre). We were also appreciative of the complimentary tickets to certain local attractions. We highly recommend the trolley ride through St Augustine! Overall this was a great trip with a great place to stay. Can’t wait to come back!
- Ashley Davis

Ashley, we are pleased you had a seamless transition and vacation with us! It was wonderful to have you stay, and we'd love to have you back!

Small house, convenient walk to the beach, mini golf close by. Good communication. Beach wagon came in handy. I wish they had better pillows but other than that we had a pleasant stay.
- Christine

Christine, it was a pleasure to host you! We are glad our team communicated well during your stay, and that you had everything you needed for a successful beach vacation! We will definitely look into updating the pillows. Thank you for staying with us!
