The location was amazing and to be able to rent chairs and umbrellas at an affordable cost was awesome.

The bar tenders were not the nicest and ignored you when you came up to the bar. They just rather talk to those who have been sitting at the bar then to deal with others.

We had a great time at The Castle in the Sand. It's right on the beach with an outdoor bar & restaurant on the premises. The breakfast buffet was definitely worth it not having to go anywhere and the food & service was great. We were very impressed with the staff who was always outside making sure everything was clean and taken care of. Can't wait to book our next stay here.

The only thing that I was surprised by was no elevator in the part we stayed in. It was listed as having an elevator but our building didn't have one. Other than the inconvenience of hauling our bags up the stairs everything else was great.

The one-bedroom C4 in the Castle cottage was cute. Clean, comfortable, and met our needs for our short stay. I would recommend. This was our first visit to "The Castle". The pool was delightful. It was clean, the right temperature & refreshing. The beach was accessible with plenty of room, and although we didn't use the food and drink service from Coconuts restaurant, that was unique. Coconuts was a "happening" place right on the dunes with good food and drinks. We were more into a quiet beach day or two, so know you can have a peaceful few days amidst the "action", particularly if you stay in a cottage.

Check the electric outlets in unit 4C. A few need to be replaced.

A little dated but very clean. Pool was very nice, kitchenette was everything we needed. Ocean view and beach access were great Grandchildren enjoyed the kids activities and the ice cream parlor. Live music was nice and also appreciated the fact that we could sit on balcony and listen but also go inside and not hear it . Housekeepers were very nice and accommodating.

Only thing I didn't really care for was the the breakfast buffet. A nice variety of food but quality was not the greatest.

Loved location to beach. Our balcony was directly over Coconuts restaurant and patio. We listened to all of the bands from our balcony. Great experience. Entertainment, pool, food, and servers actually All workers were wonderful! Housekeeping gave us whatever we needed. We had a wonderful time there.

The shower was a little tight (small, and the toilet was very low to the ground. Slight musty smell in the room. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Felt like a concrete slab, so we left a night early. :(

This was a very fun place! Connected restaurant/bar was along the beach, making a fun lively social atmosphere. The hotel was older but very well kept, soo clean in the room, the linens smelled fresh and beds were comfy, very spacious, gorgeous view of the bay! Staff made us feel so welcome, really felt like we were at a resort! Would love to do more family visits here.

The location was excellent. I've been coming here for 35 years but the place is really starting to look worn down. Staff is very friendly everywhere. Cleaning people doing the best they can! Unfortunately imo not worth the price anymore....sad! 😏

The place is getting so run down. The bathroom was in bad shape. Toilet tiny. Sink and tub discolored. Carpet needs replaced, and paint is needed desperately everywhere. The pool was freezing cold in August. Food prices at on-site restaurants have gotten outrageous.

We stayed right on ground level this year, so it was nice having that quick access to the beach. The kids loved being able to just walk out the door and play at the beach and even right outside the door. They have a great pool with a diving board and the kids loved swimming.

We got the room with 2 queen beds, pull out couch and small kitchenette. 6 people in the room it was a little cramped but overall worked just fine.

From the moment we checked in, the customer service was exceptional. We were on the top floor and had an exceptional view of the beach and ocean. It was so relaxing. I couldn't get over how big and spacious the room was and it was great to have a kitchenette in our room. Loved the balcony and everything about Castle in the Sand!!!

Coconuts was a bit crazy but it looked like everyone was having fun.

Convenient to beach, almost midpoint OC, useful kitchen, nice bar grill area, gorgeous dune Large porch

Parking, we requested 2 spots, when downstairs cottage people arrived they asked us to move one car for their 2 cars. Area only could hold 3 cars, not 4. Air conditioners were loud. In small bedroom it was loud and didn't cool. Son was too tired didn't notice. Should keep small plunger so folks can plunge themselves. Bathroom, may be easier if towels shelves were in bathroom. Elevator near restaurant is very slow. I was exhausted and it just didn't move.
