Felt that things could have been a little cleaner. The fridge had mold on the water dispenser. The cooking pans had to be rewashed and the two trash bags only for the trash was a bummer. Popcorn and food under the upstairs couch. I wished we could have used the hot tub. It was broke the entire time we were there. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed the extra room and peace and quiet but if I could change some things then I would address some of the above.

Absolutely beautiful beach front property. Loved the location near the State Park, as the beach was very quiet. Liked the gated community as well as the pool and property amenities. Appreciated no beach restrictions, as we have experienced on other beaches. Property was very clean yet very dated. Very well stocked yet carpeting, area rugs, and furnishings were worn and dirty. Although we have booked many vacations through VRBO, this was our first experience where we received booking and confirmation information through THREE different management companies .. extremely confusing.We will continue to explore this area and even the gated community; yet, will most likely not return to this property.

Perfect Stay

What a fabulous property. We loved the heated community pool and the views of the beach made even rainy days amazing. We had 6 adults, 4 kids, & a toddler. The closet in the master bedroom made a great baby room! We loved looking for crabs at night, walking the beach, and exploring the restaurant in town. It was an amazing vacation!

Excellent overall - just some notes...

Everything was great overall - there are just a few things that keep this from being a perfect 5-star rental. It just comes down to stocking some more of the essentials. There was a very limited supply of TP, paper towels, dish soap...etc - simply not enough for a week - you will need to pick these up before you arrive. Each room gets 2 bath towels and no beach towels. We loved staying on the east end - so much quieter, but if you are here during the high season, just be prepared that the units are pretty close together and when every one is on their decks, you can hear each other pretty clearly...

Loved it!

Seven family members enjoyed this spot for spring break. The kitchen is very well equipped with cooking gear and also plates, etc. There’s lots of room to spread out and the beach is right out the door. Be prepared to take paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing soap, laundry detergent and shower soap. Also when we arrived there was no salt and pepper. That said, I would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful and spacious home. Lovely and comfortable furnishings. The owner, Sean, is wonderful and accommodating. The decks are amazing with panoramic views of the Gulf. Many times we looked out we could see dolphins jumping! The hot tub is so relaxing and clean. Just steps from a white sandy beach and the ocean shore. Tons of shells and crabs. What a fun and relaxing week!

thanksgiving on the beach

property served us well in terms of sleep etc. The grill could use an updating. Fine for burgers and hot dogs, not big enough for a turkey or a big chicken dinner. Would like see more dish towels ( 2 not enough for 11 people and clean up) and a dish rag or two. Also no Kleenex and need more than 2 soap pads for the dishwasher. Could buy them all except dish towels but had to run out to know we needed to. Also, would suggest an inexpensive metal firepit. It would have been nice to have a fire on the beach like our neighbors. Lastly, a number of the sliding glass doors either would not lock or were very hard to get locked, and there are quite a few electric outlets that didn't work. Those are all small things that are really just suggestions for a better stay. All in all we were fine with everything and had a great family get together. Staff was fine and check in etc was great. Certainly would recommend it.

Week with friends on SGI

The location of this property is ideal, right next to the park so not too many people on the beach and great walking all the way to the end of the island! The house is large and has a well stocked kitchen. I was very pleased to find sharp knives and a working food processor. Loved having an ice maker. The refrigerator is small for such a large house, but we cook more than most. Beds were comfortable. We saw dolphins, shore birds and pelicans about every day. All in all a great stay at this property!

Great Family Vacation

My entire family comes to Saint George Island every other year. This was our first time at A Sandcastle. The house was VERY nice. We especially liked the "extras"-- the hot tub, ice maker, foosball table, elevator, bathroom as you come in from the beach, Keurig. We did have some trouble with the WIFI and the air conditioning, which were both addressed promptly by the owner. (The WIFI did remain spotty throughout the duration of our vacation.) The only "real" con was the close proximity of the next door condos. We probably wouldn't even have noticed this, but we have stayed at another location on Saint George Island that was a bit more isolated. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

Perfect multi-family getaway

My family (2 adults, 2 teens) spent the Christmas holiday here with my parents. The house worked perfectly for us, particularly as my parents have limited mobility, so the elevator and the accessible master bath were essential. Beautiful location and gorgeous views. Well-stocked. Only issue (not even an issue really) is that the house is managed by a rental agency, which has different rules and payment deadlines than the owner. It was a bit confusing, but they were helpful when we called with questions (and we learned to mostly ignore the rental agencies' paperwork). Would love to stay there again - a perfect getaway!

Best Thanksgiving Ever!

This property was amazing! The owners were as well! Very responsive and helpful. There are large upper and lower balconies with gorgeous views! There’s a 1/2 bath right inside the door that is steps from the beach which was so nice and convenient. The bedrooms are big and comfy, especially the master. The kitchen is well stocked and everything was sparkling clean! I’m immune compromised so cleanliness is a must, and this home was very clean. There is a separate pantry that held all of our food items together. There’s a large dining table which was perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner, as well as every other dinner. This was a family trip with small grandchildren so we used the bbq grill and ate in most every night. TVs and Bluetooth speakers upstairs and down. There is an upper main living area that’s open to the kitchen and dining, and a separate lower living area with a wet bar, small refrigerator, foosball table, etc. The elevator was helpful for carrying heavy bags and groceries to the bedrooms and kitchen. Check-in and check-out was easy and convenient. This house was perfect for our family vacation!

The Perfect Place

A Sandcastle was the perfect place for our family vacation on St George. We had an easy check in and the house was immaculate when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. We had a few rainy days and the two spacious living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out. The house has a wonderful view of the ocean. The pool was a great addition and very convenient. We have stayed in many houses over the twenty years we have been coming to St George and this was definitely one of the best!
