The location is perfect. The beach has the easiest access of all the properties we’ve ever stayed at. The ocean view from the big windows was amazing. Kitchen has everything you need. The one minus of this property is that the hot tub has a 120v connection instead of 240v, so as soon as you open the cover, it starts to loose its heat. It just can’t keep its 104f temp while you’re in it. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations for sure.

The view was amazing! The location was perfect! We loved staying here. The only problem was the lack of cable tv and spotty WiFi but we managed to entertain ourselves by more walks on the beach! I look forward to staying here again.

This was a special family trip because of our granddaughter, 14 months. The view was fantastic. House was clean, lots of towels, the beds were so confortable. Lots of room for our family of 6 plus baby. They had beach toys for our granddaughter. Kids enjoyed the hot tub. However, when we got there around 7pm, the upstairs (living room/kitchen) was around 70 degrees. We had to leave the front door open to get some cool air flow through the house because the AC didn't kick in right away. We closed the blinds when the sun was out because it'll make the living room feel like a sauna. We did turn on the AC but it helped when we opened the front door for a little bit. The pillow cases were not washed because they smell like sweat. The body soap for all 3 bathrooms were empty. There was laundry detergent in a tin can, 3 small pods, and looked yellowish,, looked old and didn't smell so refreshing. The showers downstairs were draining so slow. I don't think I will be reserving this house again. We did go to the store, which is not far, and bought detergent and body soap. I don't think the house was worth the price we paid for. I will not reserve this house again. I did not want to post this for others to see because of the things we didn't like, but thought we share with the owner so they can maybe help the next renters and maybe hire another housekeeper to help.

Overall, our stay at the house was pretty good!Pros-view was amazing!-listing was as advertised (3 bed/3 bath, open garage for car, usable hot tub, path to beach)-kitchen was well stocked with dual ovens, which is sometimes lacking in rentals. Could have cooked easily if desired.-didn't really hear the guests at all in the attached unit-no complicated departure tasks. Simply lock up and leave. Loved it!Cons-as others have noted, it could have been a little cleaner & ready for arrival. There was a fair amount of sand in the hot tub, which I know is hard to control, but also significant dust/dirt on top of fridge, floors were a little sandy, etc. Nothing major though, but we've stayed in cleaner units. Soap was also empty in one of the showers.

Good setup

Besides the mold in the windows and missing heating thermostats on the bottom floor which woke up freezing the rest of the time there was great. Thank you

Great beach location

Right on the beach. Perfect view of Ocean. Everything was well laid out in the house and easy to find. Clean. Parking in garage and off street. Not far from the main shop area of Rockaway Beach. We walked on the beach from house to the main beach park area. Not far and a fun walk with kids. Then walked to town for shops. Great stay and would stay here again.

Great place to stay

Sand in the hot tub, sand inbetween cracks in living room sofa, a little bit of sand in the bed. The bunk bedroom bathroom door felt stuck, and no light in the ceiling. Those are minor complaints. I would expect sand since so close to the beach. We all loved the place. Would definitely stay again next time

Location is everything

Perfect location, right on the beach! Condo rooms are as advertised. It needs a thorough cleaning and has some minor maintenance issues. Bring your own can opener, we couldn’t find one there. The knives mentioned in previous reviews were still very dull. There is eco-safe shampoo. The town is quiet and the neighbors friendly. You’ll want oysters, visit The Fish Peddler!

Very nice, but some years from now we'll become unable to handle the stairs

Beautiful view and beach access, and clean, comfortable lodging. A few dings: kitchen/living area is up a very long flight of stairs from parking/entry level, so this is not an ideal property for the aged; the hot water faucet at the right-hand vanity in the upstairs bathroom does not work, and a few other faucets including the kitchen are not properly secured to the counter tops; one of the LR side chairs is missing a leg bolt, and the other bolts on that leg were very loose, which might have caused an injury if someone had tried sitting in it before I noticed this and tightened the two extant bolts.

Beautiful ocean views

House very clean as we were worried, but they took extra care as far as we could tell. The view from the dining room/kitchen (2nd floor) is amazing! Right on the beach, it’s really nice to have the access. Only issue is no privacy with neighbors as this is a townhome that shares the back patio that looks out on the beach. Our room didn’t have adequate blinds so anyone could walk by and see in but to have to beach right there was worth it. Slept like a baby! Beds were comfy and lots of pillows and blankets. Heaters worked great at night so not sure why others complained before. Would book here again!

Beautiful view!

Some of the sheets on the beds and bathroom towels had hair on them, so we washed them. The window in the dining room started leaking quite badly, so we called to report the situation. Also the refrigerator started to leak under the bottom grill, but seemed to stop during the night. We took out as much of the garbage as we could (the outside garbage can was already full). Otherwise everything was wonderful!!

Steps to the beach, plus hot tub!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sand Castle 1. Highlights were: the hot tub overlooking the ocean, the views from the kitchen/dining room/living room, the cozy fireplace with timer, well stocked kitchen, the bunk beds for our kids, the fact that we couldn't hear our neighbors in the other half of the duplex, though it was occupied all three nights we were there, the washer and dryer for cleaning towels after hot tubing, and that we could walk down some rock steps and be right on the beach! It was delightful. The bunk room, one bedroom and two baths are on the main floor with the one-car garage. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and a bedroom and one bath are on the 2nd floor. The place is showing some wear, as others have said, but it was very clean.

Pacific Northwest Vacation

We enjoyed our time in the Sand Castle. The ocean views from the living room and hot tub were wonderful. Comfortable beds and nice linens made our stay pleasant. Things that would have improved our stay are as follows: the bunk bedroom smelled like cat urine , clothes/ linens would catch in dryer and leave rust stains on them, and no available extra trash bags. FYI--you need to contact the electric power company regarding the poor/ arcing connection that is providing power for this property and several of the other adjacent properties. It looked and sounded like the hot tap feeding the transformer was arcing. This could damage electrical equipment in this properties. I just have 30 plus years of experience with these types of problems working for power companies. Regards
