This is by far the most amazing property that I've ever rented. The owners have gone over-the-top to consider every convenience imaginable and have stocked the house to the fullest! They have labeled all kitchen cabinets and drawers to eliminate searching for items. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need to prepare meals for a large group. The consideration and detail that was given to furnishing this house was definitely evident and appreciated. The owners and property manager were very responsive and took care of our every need. There were so many extras in this house, it would be impossible to list them all. The decks were fully furnished and provided great views of the ocean. The beauty and comfort of this house was enjoyed by our whole group. This property has it all and I would definitely love to visit here again! Cathy Baggett ##### Cathy B.

It had plenty of towels, linens, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper products, Wifi, beach chairs, beach towels, baby gates, plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, and kitchen utensils. They had games for all ages to include toys, books, puzzles, and foosball. They had everything you have in your home and more. The air conditioners were more than adequate for the house and there were thermostats on each floor level that maintained the requested temperature. The washer and dryer looked brand new. The only issue we had was a reboot of the router which was corrected promptly. Don was very punctual and accommodating with any question we had. We would recommend that the placement of the shower on the side of the house be highlighted. It was a very luxurious home in which to vacation. ##### Richard K.

Jan 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous, clean property This property was gorgeous, kept up-to-date, and was in good repair. The decks had beautiful views. We grilled, went to the beach, and just hung out (concerns abaout covid kept us more house-bound than we otherwise would have been) and the property was great. In particular, the kitchen was spacious, clean, well-organized, and well-stocked with utensils, pots and pans, colanders, knives, and many useful spices and herbs. This was quite possibly the cleanest property I've visited from all my vrbo stays - my family, being neatniks, really appreciated this. We all felt totally at home and wanted to plan another stay right away. We had a minor issue with water pressure during our stay, but both Amy (the owner) and Tonya (manager) were immediately on it and offered to send out a plumber immediately. Ultimately, we decided that the problem was too minor to justify the visit (my mother is 88 years old and we didn't want to risk her contracting covid). Nevertheless, it was reassuring to know that the owner was so responsive. We'll definitely stay here again when we're in St. Augustine next. We highly recommend it. ##### Sonja L. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Connie T. Jun 11, 2023 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good location, great view, needs thorough cleaning and some basic maintenance. Sand Castle is a nice location with only a five minute walk to the beach. The ocean view from the house is great! Our children enjoyed the pool which was heated as I requested. The house easily accommodated our family of 10 people, but would have been crowded at 15 (sleeping capacity listed). My major complaint was that the kitchen was unacceptably dirty. I cleaned on it for two hours before bringing in groceries, including washing out the entire refrigerator, throwing away opened food including a half loaf of bread, cleaning hair and crumbs from utensil drawers, etc. Thankfully, the property management sent Jenn over in response to my complaint. Jenn “saved the day,” and probably deserves a raise. She cleaned the oven and the grill, purchased new kitchen cloths, and was appropriately apologetic. The house also needs some basic plumbing maintenance (master bath sink sluggish, primary garbage disposal inconsistently not functional, master toilet hard to flush). Master bedroom quilt had what appeared to be blood stains. These things could be easily remedied and should be addressed if the company would like to see the review raised for this property. Because of the good location and great view, it could easily be made into a “5” with a little more work. ##### Connie T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily S.

Mar 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Getaway The Sandcastle was a wonderful place to stay close to the beach. The house was extremely spacious and clean. Teenagers had their own space and rooms. Lots of decks plus the pool area to enjoy the outdoors. The beach was just a few minutes walk. A great family getaway! ##### LeAnn H.
