Located in a gated beachside community, Sandcastle by the Sea is a family-friendly 6BR/4BA retreat that promises an elevated vacation experience. This brand-new home boasts high-end finishes paired with amazing outdoor space. A private elevator adds convenience to your luxurious stay. Folly Field Beach is three blocks away with rubber pathway access (convenient for wagons, wheelchairs, etc.), bathrooms, and outdoor showers. Rent bikes nearby and explore the beach boardwalk. You also have access to 12 pickleball courts and six tennis courts.
Kick back and relax on the spacious patio, outfitted with an ultra-private pool (heated and covered). Sunbathe on lounge chairs between refreshing swims. Twinkling string lights hang above patio tables; fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco. Stretch out on cushioned furniture and watch shows on the outdoor TV. Enjoy the lush treetop vistas from a second balcony, located off the living area.
Head back inside to unwind in the beautifully-appointed living room, and enjoy comfortable furnishings and a 70' smart TV. Huge 12' sliding glass doors offer abundant natural light. The gourmet kitchen showcases sleek granite countertops, a roomy island, and stainless steel appliances -- including a double oven! A lovely chandelier illuminates the dining table, perfect for great meals and even greater conversation. Kid-friendly extras include a Pack 'n Play with a 3' mattress, high chair, booster seat, umbrella stroller, ping-pong table, and kids' beach gear (toys, cart, chairs, umbrella).

While we had a few hiccups with the property- pool tv accessing the wifi, microwave not working, and slow dryer... the management team was "johnny on the spot" with all the repairs. The service was fantastic! The overall home features were great to accommodate our large group. The elevator was a lovely plus and the home ambiance was perfect for our beach vibe. We will definitely book with Vacasa again!

The house was just like the photos showed. Very easy walk to the beach. It was great to have miniature golf and arcade behind the house.
8.0 / 10.0
The home is beautiful and plenty large enough for our family. Live the large kitchen table, the elevator was a nice added bonus, as well as the counter-top ice maker. The home was not as clean as we would have hoped. The floors, baseboards, and return air vents were dirty. Many of the dishes were put away dirty and had to be rewashed. We contacted VACASA regarding a couple broken items and their communication was not great. Would have been nice to be able to reach out to the owner directly. The community was nice and close to everything. If we return we would likely stay in the community again, just maybe a different home due to cleanliness and communication.

This house was very clean upon arrival. We had a total of 10 adults and 5 children, ages 7-12. This house was spacious and fit our group very well. If it had an extra bathroom, or even a half bath, it would have been perfect! Regardless, it worked and was very well equipped as well.
The pool area is a little small, but worked. It was nice for the kids to enjoy the pool without having to make sure sunscreen was always applied. It was a great way to cool off and to be out of the sun as it began to get very warm at week's end.
The elevator was very helpful, as we had a handicapped person with us. It was also convenient for luggage when arriving and packing up for departure.
The only complaint we had, was the trash pickup details and amount of trash cans available. When we arrived on Saturday, 2 of 3 trash cans were full outside. We didn't think too much of it as the rental info says trash pickup is on Mondays. We rolled all 3 cans to the street on Sunday night. Monday and Tuesday passed, still with overflowing cans. After contacting rental company, we were told trash pickup was on Wednesday. No sweat. They did come on Wednesday. I would suggest more, or larger trash bins. We cooked in 6 of 7 nights, and for a house of 16, you can imagine the amount of trash we had. Because of the amount of trash in the bins when we arrived, we had an overflow of trash that wouldn't fit until after the Wednesday pick up. And by the end of our stay, the bins were full again. I'm sure this will irritate the next renters as well.
Otherwise, this house was great and we had a great week, and would highly recommend this rental!

Home is beautiful but the broken appliances made for a delayed stay. Once the appliances are repaired or replaced, it will make for a perfect quick stay. Everything is in walking distance and the kids were able to roam safely in the area and the beach was a short walk.

We had a low stress relaxing time. The beach is a quick walk and being cooped up with 6 teens was fun an manageable.

This home was great for our family vacation. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils and small appliances. The bathrooms were great; they provided plenty of towels and travel sized toiletries. No beach towels so bring your own. Overall this home was a perfect fit for our needs and it was even a little above our expectations on what was provided to make our vacation enjoyable.

THANK you for the elevator. We loved the short, direct walking trail to the beach, restaurant and children activities (arcade and mini golf just next door). Appreciate the FULLY equiped kitchen and televisions in every room, including poolside. Loved the covered pool area and an operating grill. The home was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

We celebrated our mother's birthday in January. The ages ranged from 13 to 80. Everyone found something to enjoy. Close to the beach. Close to arcade, and a trip to Savannah for a day.

8.0 / 10.0
it was overall good. the only thing I would call out is that the dishwasher was gross from the previous people so we had to run it a few times to clean it out. the toilets kept getting clogged, the water pressure was weak, and the 2nd floor bathtub was clogged.
other than that, it was clean enough room wise

We enjoying staying at this home for our week vacation. The home was smaller in person than the photos. It would have been nicer if there wasa little bigger living space for us to spread out. The kitchen was nicely stocked with all the necessary cooking utensils and cookware. Over all, our group of 11 adults and 2 kids was happy with our stay. Management was attentive and quick to respond. The beds were comfortable and all the rooms were beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this location.

This Home was nothing short of amazing. Very spacious and extremely clean. The private pool was the best ending of every day after being at the beach or out the cutest shops or eating out at some of the best restaurants. The guide book found in the kitchen was a much welcomed guide to finding everything we were looking for. We will most definitely stay here again when visiting HHI.

We booked this vacation in 2020 for a 2020 Spring Break but Covid threw a big wrench into that. The original house we booked was taken off the market and we had to rebook. We needed a large home with a pool and close to the beach. We found all that and more in this home. We had 3 families ( 6 adults and 8 kids) and still had room to spare. The heated pool was a life saver for the kids as the weather while we were there turned colder as the week went on. The home had ever amenity we could ask for and didn't find ourselves running to the store for anything that was missing. The only issue we ran into was on our second day the pool heater stopped working but after a quick text message request to Turnkey the pool technician stopped out within a few hours and had it working again in no time! The beach was a short 10 min walk down the paved asphalt path and the Adventure Cove behind the property was a nice touch for the kids. We are looking forward to returning to Hilton Head and would recommend this property to anyone!

This was a couples trip and we truly enjoyed ourselves. House was very clean. Had all the essentials supplies we needed. The elevator was a plus because one of the couples had bad knees so they were thankful to be able to utilize it. Quiet neighborhood. Very relaxing. We enjoyed every minute.

Would have given all 5 stars had the elevator been operational. Made vacation for my mother very hard and stressful.

The house is sooo nice! So clean, and a short walk to the beach! The pool is super nice to take a quick dip in or go in once getting back from the beach! Definitely recommend.

We stayed at this property for 5 days and enjoyed every moment. The wifi worked great as our daughter was still taking classes remotely, and the owner has thought of every detail; including pool and beach accessories! Wish we could has stayed longer, but looking forward to another stay in the future.
