Overall this was a great house with a great layout! It had all the essentials and walk to the beach was easy. House is surface cleaned well but could use a deep clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would return!

This is a fabulous property for a family reunion! We easily slept 4 families/2 dogs. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Any questions we had were quickly answered and addressed with owner easily. Would definitely book a large group again! Amazing memories made!

Our family had a wonderful week at SC. Big enough for a large family to spread out. John is very good at answering any questions and concerns. Great week!!

Would definitely stay again. Very short walk to the beach.

The comparative cost for the stay was great. The place is outdated and the floor plan was interesting.

House was perfect for

We enjoyed our stay and it was exactly as listed. The house has many bedrooms, which we needed, and 3 kitchens! It is an older house, but was clean and nice to stay in. I have no complaints and want to thank John for a great time at his beach house.

We loved how big it was for our family. It was located in a very convenient location and we were so pleased with the promptness of the home owner and his staff. Can't say enough about how happy we were with this property!

We loved our week at the beach! The home was a great size for our family and a short walk to the beach. The upper deck was great for eating and playing games together. I would have been nice to have some more dish towels, oven mits, and hand towels. We cooked a lot so these items would have been beneficial. Overall great stay and a great host.

Great house for a big group! Multiple seating and kitchen areas. Very easy walk to the beach!

Place is great for large groups. Easy check in.

The Sandy Castle is an excellent rental for a large group of friends looking to have a great hang with comfortable lodging, lots of bathrooms, quick access to the beach, and short drive to venues on IOP or in Mount Pleasant. We stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding weekend and couldn't have asked for anything better. Went for a swim the morning of the big day, enjoyed the outside elevated porch area, appreciated the lots of parking and laundry, hung out at the bench-style huge dining room table, and loved our stay. The layout is a bit atypical, and there are a few quirks (e.g., one of the larger beds is in a studio in-law style apartment that has a window AC unit rather than central air; the wifi isn't the strongest in most of the house). John was helpful and responsive, and it even worked out for a slightly earlier check-in than anticipated. It has everything you need! We'd definitely stay here again!

The house was clean and inviting. John was awesome at answering any questions we had - the place is in a great spot for heading to the beach, going for dinner etc. Can’t recommend this house enough!

We were there for our nephews wedding. House was the perfect size for our big family.

Very practical for our large gathering of family for a wedding.

The house was perfect and large for our family. We enjoyed our thanksgiving week with all of us together.

We rented this location to house my daughters bridal party, their spouses, the bride and groom as well as additional family. 13 adults in a house can be a horrible nightmare but not at Sandy Castle! We had plenty of room to spread out or gather - it was perfect! Even sharing 4 bathrooms was never an issue and we always had HOT WATER! The beds were all super comfy, even the twin beds! A few guests asked about the mattress type cause they wanted to buy one ;). Everyone gave rave reviews! Location is great, right on the main drag and plenty of parking! We had one minor issue early on and the host was super responsive and corrected it same day! If you have a big group I highly recommend this rental!!

We were happy to have a large space for our big family. The pics represent the rental and it is very close to the beach. John answered messages and calls promptly. Thanks for everything!

The home is conveniently located an easy walk (place near by to rent golf carts if one is needed) to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. There are seven bedrooms downstairs a kitchen, small living room, wet bar and 2 bathrooms. Upstairs is the main living, kitchen and dining rooms as well as two bathrooms and two bedrooms and a wonderful rooftop area with chairs, a grill and two picnic tables. The downstairs is updated in beachy colors whereas the upper level is a nostalgic nod to beach houses of the past. Plenty of towels were provided and comfortable beds. There was an ample amount of cookware, dishes, a keurig and microwaves. We had everything our large family of 16 needed. The home located close to a busy road, but did not hinder our stay and we will definitly stay here again.

The property was in a good location for all we did on our visit. Tons of space. Quite and relaxing

This really worked well for our ladies group and the host was a great communicator. Bring beach chairs and umbrellas, there is a wagon to take your stuff to the beach. Would stay here again.

I gave the property 5 stars because it was very clean, the beds were comfortable and there were no surprises. The listing pictures and descriptions were accurate and we knew beforehand that it would be an older house with a weird layout, a couple blocks from the beach. The house had excellent AC and the beds were very comfortable, the pillows were awesome. There were plenty of bedrooms for privacy and 3 separate living rooms to hang out in. We had 17 adults and a toddler... 4 generations. We rented 2 golf carts, so getting to the beach wasn't difficult. The one drawback was that the main large livingroom and kitchen were on the 2nd floor so my mom had to navigate the stairs when we had family meals or wanted to all be together. I would also take a couple extra bath and kitchen towels and wash cloths next time. Also, it's good to know that the house sits very close to a busy road if you're bring children. Overall, we had a wonderful time together as a family and really enjoyed our vacation❤

First time my immediate family has been together in over 5yrs and we all (16) fit under 1 roof!! Everyone had their own bed, which were comfy; teens had their own space to hang; adults had their own space to relax and we were not on top of everyone. Host was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. A few things to consider. Maybe a few extra dish towels and bath mats. Not a problem just an FYI. . . Bring an extra bath towel; there is 1 per guest per stay. There is washer and dryer in the house though. Overall a Great stay in a Great location. Would DEFINITELY recommend to others and would stay again.

This was the perfect property for 4 families, all siblings and spouses, 1 teen and 1 college age. The sea shell unit was perfect for our handicapped spouse and the stairs up to the main living room were adequate for those with walking issues as long as they had supervision. Beds were super comfortable and we had plenty of room to spread out for quiet or gather together for meals and entertainment upstairs. All in all, we had a great, relaxed time. Our host was very accommodating with quick response to emails and very hospitable.

We loved everything about it. Good owner, good communication, convenient location and easy to check in and out. Bring your own shampoo/soap! Thanks.

Close to beach with ample room for large group. Needs some updates.

Well maintained and lots of bang for the buck. The property fits our touring group well. We'll definitely book it again.

The house was clean & the kitchen was fully stocked. The space was love & we weren't on top of each other. We were able to relax & have quiet time when needed. The boat tour & food was excellent, the guide on tour was very knowledgeable. He was very friendly & willing to assist in any way. Only issue was we couldn't do our fire works for the new year.
