Definitely will be back. Loved watching the sunset on the lounger at the catwalk/ upper patio area. Walking distance to Crabby Joes restaurant (which was awesome as well) and 7/11. Super close to dollar stores, Walmart, liquor store and of course directly on the beach with access. 🙌

Very dated hotel. I only paid eighty five dollars for 1 night. Nice beachfront access nice size pool. But the rooms were definitely built in the sixties and seventies. For the money it was ok!

The location is awesome. Sheets had dried blood stains in them, towels were washed but stained, someone left a towel( not a hotels) behind the bathroom door. There was a 3/4 of an inch gap in the door when closed.

Room was clean but outdated. Towels are thin and scratchy. If that bothers you, bring your own. Staff we ran into were very nice and helpful. Motel could overall use an update, but price and location were outstanding!!

We loved Sand Castle, we were greeted by friendly staff who let us check in early so we could enjoy the pool. The motel was a little older but rooms were clean and comfortable, beautiful location, great pool and beachfront. Easy free parking for guests and lots of restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. It was a great few days and we would definitely stay again. Thank you. 😊

Very dated hotel. But for the money, it's served its purpose. Pool was nice. Nice beachfront property. As always, with motels, there's very little parking. TV didn't work, but I was not there to watch t v. Check in and check out.Was very easy. Shower had goodwater pressure. AC worked fine. Overall no complaints.
