Hot tub was too hot to get in. Apartment was ok, but not particularly clean and the smallest bedroom was stiflingly hot even with air con. Rooms backing on intercoastal had a lot of traffic noise. ##### Melanie D. Stayed 14 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarra J. Feb 6, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Great Beach Location of this condo was excellent! Great beach! Unit was not as new and updated as listing states. Condo quite dirty upon arrival (vents full of dust, floors filthy, 2 beds had very sandy dirty sheets). There's an extra exterior door leading to a bedroom - this door needs to be addressed - seemed loose and unsafe (easy to break into). Dryer did not work properly...very loud and took a long time to dry anything. Elevator worked great! There was construction while we were there which made it loud some of the days and made it hard to access the beach. Would be nice if overall condo building provided nice comfy beach chairs. ##### Sarra J. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynette S. May 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stairway work & Dust / Elevator Issues Love the condo and everything it has to offer. The only thing was they are working on the stairs and the noise was loud early morning throughout the day. The first bedroom was where it was extremely loud woke up our son every day. The dust from the work was everywhere, we had to cover our faces when entering and exiting the condo because the dust was so bad. One of the two elevators was constantly breaking down. The tiles getting into the elevator are all broken, and after 11:00 pm the cockroaches were all over by the elevators. My husband killed like 7-8 there were another 5-6 climbing all over. All these things listed above are issues with the building not the unit we stayed in. This was our third time staying at Sandcastle #1 and we will definitely come back next year. We heard they are going to be working and repairing the building later this year, so we are confident most if the issues we experienced will be addressed and corrected. ##### Lynette S.
