We have stayed many places and they have all been just right for where we were as our children grew, married and then had children of their own. Castle by the Sea was absolutely perfect for our family with 8 adults and 3 grandchildren. Everyone talked about the splash pad in the pool as the best for our little ones. With nap schedule, the beach was just a short wagon ride away and easy to go back and forth as needed. Our first 3 days were cloudy but it did not matter - we heated the pool and the kids played. We used the grill for several meals and also biked down to "The Bank" for a meal that was very child friendly. We are booked for next year and can't wait! ##### Leah I.

The home is comfortable and has everything one may need-- dishes, blenders, music speaker, multiple refrigerators, etc. We found Beach Toys, great Beach Towels and a Wagon for transporting all these items for the 5 minute walk to the Beach. We had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the home since the Tropical Storm paid us a visit on Days 2-5 of our vacation. We spent this time indoors-- playing pool and Jenga in the Garage, working puzzles and the younger set enjoyed using their Gaming system on the TV in the Upstairs Game Room. The Management Company personnel, Katherine, was kind and responsive to our questions. Everything was "perfect"-- EXCEPT for the Weather !!! ##### Susan W.

It is a short walk to the beach (2 minutes or so) and a short walk to Coligny Plaza. The house was fantastic. We had six college students with us and they loved the house, the rooms, the pool and the hot tub. While half of them were old enough to go out to clubs and restaurants, they found the amenities at the house to appealing to leave. We rented some bikes for the week and everyone had the opportunity to use them. We used the chess board for a couple of games and enjoyed the pool table. The kitchen is fully stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed the property. We had great communication with the property manager and the owner Melynda. There were no significant issues or problems and overall it was a fantastic stay. I highly recommend the property. It clearly will make younger kids happy but our group of young women loved it just as much! ##### John K.

Our son and daughter joined us, so we rented the North Forest Beach - Castle by the Sea. We have been property owners at Hilton Head for 16 years. After selling our condo we wanted to try the Castle by the Sea house due to the photos on the VRBO site and the fact is was in North Forest Beach. We communicated with Melynda, the property owner prior to arriving, and she was always responsive and answered my questions. We arrived early to Hilton Head and stayed at a hotel and I reached out to Melynda to see if there was any chance for an early check-in. She talked to the on-island property management team, and we received a text message we could get in 4 hours earlier than normal. That was great. The house is very comfortable, we got to try out reclining beds, and all the adults had master suites. The kids had their own rooms and everyone had a great time. The weather wasn't as good as we hoped, but we were able to get to the beach a couple of the days. It was shocking how close the house is to beach. Our former condo was right on beach, and the walk from Castle-by-the-Sea house to the beach was about the same. It was also nice to walk to Coligny for shopping, dinners, and refreshments. This is a great property and I would strongly recommend it! ##### Gregory M. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Damon H.

We were able to get the entire family in this house which was really the best way to spend quality time together on vacation. Really felt like our own home at the beach with everything we could need or want. Options of the beach or the pool kept all the kids entertained endlessly, that or Madden football on the Xbox. The walk to the beach is so short it hardly seemed like a walk. Was so nice to have all the beaches toys and accessories and the cart to get them to the beach. The flashlights with the red light filter was a nice touch for beach walks at night. Really nice to have the ice maker in the basement as well to fill up the coolers. Property manager was very responsive and checked in on things midweek and which was appreciated. Minor points for improvements would be an upgrade to the toilet paper (paper thin) and the beach towels (some falling apart). Having a vacuum would be nice to mitigate the constant influx of sand through the front door. Would have also been nice to have a garage door opener to make getting bikes in and out of the garage much more efficient. Kitchen had all the necessary components but would have been nice to have a large skillet (only one smaller one available). ##### Damon H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joshua B. Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place, great location, some hiccups This place was okay. Given the cost to stay, I was disappointed in a few things. First, the place has some cleanliness issues. Specifically, there were many dishes clearly not washed and just placed back into the cabinets with old food caked onto them. Gross. I mentioned this to the management company and they head scratchingly responded it wasn't their job to clean the dishes? Okay... There were many items broken or not working. These were generally smaller items, such as luggage racks, but this property is in need of a walk through with a detail oriented person. My biggest complaint is that the owner of the property was not, in my opinion, respectful of our stay as guests. We stayed the first week of September, which I guess is the "end of the season", but they had all kinds of vendors in and out of the place over the week. This got to be annoying, especially when a roofer arrived planning on doing work in the main area of the house where the pool and outdoor area is. I understand that things need to get done on a property, but do that stuff on your own time, not mine. Overall, the place was great for kids, fantastic location, easy check-in. Nice amenities for the kids. I am sure our stay had some hiccups that others wouldn't normally expect but my rating is based on our individual experience. ##### Joshua B.
