It’s an unbeatable location with beach access on a pristine quiet beach. It’s next to a river full of palm trees with a jungle look. The property is huge with a large private lawn/garden. The only ding on this listing is that it’s an outdated beach bungalow. It’s overpriced for the accommodations but we still go back because the location is amazing. ##### Diego R.

It is unfortunate because the house when it was built was a beautiful house. I would guess early 80's. Now 40 some years later I would say other than an appliance or two nothing else has ever been done to upgrade or update the house. I could go into detail but I don't think that would be helpful. I will put it this way I am a builder in a very affluent resort community, I also property manage quite a few multi million dollar properties. I would not recommend this property at all I rate it as a zero no stars. I had to put one Star for this to post. ##### Tim T.

Feb 10, 2023 #### Beautiful house and beautiful beach We loved our stay at Sandcastles. We had plenty of space and privacy for the three couples. We liked the location because it was a short drive to/from the airport and Haneli. The yard was wonderful for sunbathing when it was too windy to sit on the beach. The ocean views were amazing from the house. Be aware that the only spices in the pantry were salt and pepper, but they were well stocked with sunscreen, bug spray, etc. There was plenty of glassware, utensils, dishes, cooking utensils and pots and pans. There were plenty of beach paraphernalia downstairs in the room by the door to the beach, which also included another refrigerator. ##### MARSHA C.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sand Castle.! The ocean view and easy access to the beach enhanced our whole stay! Sitting in the hot tub with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening was great. We took walks on the beach most mornings and even by moonlight one evening. Salt Pond Beach on the South shore was a favorite. Waimea Canyon hike was stunning. The food at Sushi Bushido was so good! Princeville and Hanalei Bay were so much fun to explore. So many things to do and see! ##### Laurie M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Renee C. Jan 18, 2017 #### Escape to Kauai Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation stay here at Sandcastles was fabulous. The house was clean and the view was amazing. Perfect for our family. Our only complaint was that the grounds crews were there everyday so this made it hard to enjoy the beautiful lawn and garden. I would suggest putting blinds on the bathrooms if this is the norm. Trying to find a time to shower without the crew right outside your window was a little tough. ##### Renee C.

Jun 14, 2016 #### Seclusion in Paradise 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: The house and grounds are well-kept and clean. Ocean views out one side and mountain views out the other. Being at the end of a dead end road there was very little traffic - something that cannot be said for the rest of the island. The house stays reasonably cool as long as the trade winds are blowing. There is no air conditioning but plenty of fans. One review said the house was musty but I'm pretty sensitive to mold/mildew smells and had no issues. The roosters may wake you up but if you've ever been to Kauai you know that's part of the island no matter where you are. The location worked well for us as we wanted to see all of the island. It's about an hour drive to Kalalau on the north and 1-1/2 to the canyon. Traffic through Kapaa can be slow during rush hour but the bypass helps. Would love to return when the piggy bank fills back up. ##### William E.
