Family Vaca

The house and it’s views were absolutely amazing. We loved that our teenagers had space to chill downstairs and our littles loved the bunk room on the top floor. Was a perfect set up. Lots of dishes to cook, ice machines helped so much with 15 people, and double dishwasher is great. Would rent a million times over!!

Outstanding location and home

We love the Sea Castle! The pictures of the listing is exactly what you can expect and more. Solid construction, beautifully appointed, lots of natural light and tremendous amounts of space for gathering, visiting, eating and fun. The only thing that was an issue is that the pool lights did not turn on. Very minor thing. Everyone was comfortable, beds and linens were amazing. The complementary umbrella and chairs on the beach each morning was special. The kitchen is well appointed with dishes, cookware, flatware, and everything you would need. We look forward to booking this location again as everyone absolutely raved about it.

You don't have to leave!

We used the house for a mini-family reunion with 12 people varying in age from 17-76. The house offers so many amenities that we only left the house to go to the beach or the store. The games in the ground floor were our source of entertainment every night with hours of foosball and pool tournaments. And I may have gotten addicted to Pac-Man and Frogger reliving my childhood. The sunsets were unbelievable over the water. The only issue we had was the pool heat and they were VERY responsive. The Property Management is top notch. If you are looking for a house that has everything and don't want to drive anywhere, this is it. P.S. The floors throughout the house are beautiful. If the owner remembers the Name and Maker of the floors, we would love to know as we are redoing our floors.

Family Spring Break

My family of 18 people, ages 2-70yrs old, had a wonderful week at Sea Castle! The beach is powdery soft sand and not too crowded. The home is gorgeous, functional, and spacious. Everyone was comfortable with plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms. The kids loved the pool table, foosball table and video games on the first floor. The fam enjoyed the 3 side by side TV’s for march madness basketball as well. And I have to say that the extra half bath that is outside accessible by the pool was genius by the planners. It’s lovely to have a hot tub and pool on the beach. The extra sitting room off the stairs and the office off the stairs were perfect bonus spaces for people to use. It’s a great house for a large family vacation. Our only cons would be that you have to choose between heating the pool or heating the hot tub. We did not understand this before coming. And that the deck is real wood and starting to show wear and many in our family had splinters all week. Especially the kiddos. It became the family joke of the week, who had the most splinters?

Best trip ever

The “Sea Castle” had everything you could want or need. The owners thought about everything when it came to this beach house. The location was great with a cvs, Publix and liquor store all within a mile. Gorgeous house on a gorgeous beach-what else could you ask for. Very accommodating with any request and hope to be so lucky to stay there again in the future. Don’t even think about it-just book it!
