It is hard to imagine a more fun spot to be for your next family beach trip or getaway with friends. In 5E, you are so close to the gulf waterline, you could skip rocks from one of your three private balconies! Fully accommodating kitchen and living room have a modern color palate you'll sink right into. Step out onto deck off the living room for your moment of serenity. Also on the main level are a half bath and bedroom with twin and trundle, equipped to keep a child or teen entertained. Upstairs you'll find two other masters with attached suites, each with their own private balconies with water views! 5E is the 2nd closest unit to the beach and just a few steps to the amazing gulf-side pool and private beach access. Located on the East end of this beautiful island, you're close to Alabama's Aquarium, Mobile Bay Ferry, Fort Gaines, BGH Cafe, and Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Three units down from our 032 Sandcastle 5B. Community amenities include two pools with covered cabanas, and boardwalk access to the beach. Number of guests limited to 6 guests.

Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Loved the condo and location We loved the condo and the location however the property manager of Sandcastle was horrible. Me and my children were in the pool which stated that it closed at 10pm. It was 9:45 and we were well aware of the rules. However, he rushed us and stared at my teenage children and was very rude to them saying that he has to close the pool at 10pm even though it was not 10pm yet. I spoke up and told him that we were aware of the rules and that I was their parent he backed up and continued to stare over them until we were so uncomfortable we left. The following night he turned the lights off on them in the pool at 9:45 however did not come out there to them. He was also drinking the first night and had sat his beer down before rushing my children. He also did not put any cushions out on the chairs around the pool on any of the days. We went and got them out ourselves and put them on. Other than the property manager it was great. ##### Bay D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Donna D.
