Castle in the Sand was a Dream

This home was Fantastic!! By far our favorite home rental in all the 12 years our group has been traveling together. Completely stocked kitchen with every gadget we could possibly need to prepare meals and cocktails. The home was well kept and clean. Linens and towels were supplied, and having the beds made up for us, was a nice touch. The only hiccup was us trying to figure out how to operate the Televisions. Our group was looking to watch a rival football game on Sunday, and we struggled with all the channels and streaming options. ONE CALL to the maintenance staff and they walked us through which buttons to push without making us feel foolish. THANK YOU!! If I had any suggestion for improvements, it would be to provide a brief ‘HOW-TO’ cheat sheet for the TVs. Otherwise, we were VERY satisfied with our stay, the house, the customer care provided by Beach Realty, and the Maintenance crew.

Best Home Ever

Our family has been renting this home for the past 12 years. We had rented directly from the owner (Elizabeth) until she sold it several years ago. Since then, the new owner rents thru Beach Realty which has been great! Any issues have been fixed immediately. The layout is perfect and we love that all bedrooms have their own bathroom. I do have 1 request though. The bushes need to be trimmed back (for safety) entering the driveway from the main road. The home address is covered by the bushes as well.

Review of Castle In The Sand

This was our second stay at Castle in the Sand. The entire family loves it and the location! Our only slight dissatisfaction was that the master bathroom shower and one of the others, I can’t remember which, has mold throughout the grout (same as in 2019). Three cleaning people came but didn’t speak any English so I had to literally spray the bleach (or whatever it was in their spray bottle) onto the grout to show them what to do. I understand they are very busy on checkin/checkout day, but thought I’d give you a heads-up.

The Adventure Group

This home is great for a large group of people. We have a group of 11, the ensuite baths with every bedroom was ideal. The open concept kitchen, dining living room was expansive and not at any one time did this group feel on top of one another. Relaxing on the rockers, watching the dolphins cruise by and listening to the waves crash on the beach with your morning coffee was incredibly relaxing. If you're looking for the perfect sunrise, this location cannot be beat, as they are spectacular here. The heated pool and hot tub was clean, at the perfect temperatures and provided lots of after noon fun. The movie/game room provided lots of evening entertainment.

Overall, this property provided great memories and I would highly recommend staying here.

The only con, which did not affect this group at all, is that some of the furniture has been very well loved and the home could use a little TLC here and there, which can be expected from a very popular rental home. Nothing major.

This is the 8th year my brothers & sister, and some cousins stay at this beautiful home. We have already booked for October 2022. Perfect because all 7 Bedrooms have an ensuite. I would like to make a suggestion to the owner. Would they please consider a dresser for the Bunk room and possible a larger TV for the family room? Thank you!

Castle in the Sand Is a Great Beachfront Rental

Our family loved our family vacation at Castle in the Sand! This oceanfront home in Southern Shores was perfect for our extended family of 14, ages 6 to 67. With 7 bedrooms and 7 and 1/2 baths, there was plenty of space to spread out, but we could easily congregate in the large living room and family movie room, with large-screen TV, movie chair recliners, pool table, arcade, and refrigerator/sink. There was even an elevator available when we needed it! Family diners were a pleasure due to the large dining area overlooking the ocean and a gourmet kitchen with 2 ovens, 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and a large under counter ice maker. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, cookware and utensils, and we didn’t need anything that wasn’t available. We also made good use of the outdoor gas grill! The outdoor area was great, with a pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, open air beach shower, private outdoor shower and bathroom, loungers and a short walk to the beach, where dolphins cavorted each day and ghost crabs played in the sand. From our upper and lower decks, we could watch the sunrise over the ocean each morning and the moon over the ocean at night. It is a quick drive north to Duck and Corolla or South to Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head. Our activities included swimming, walking on the beach, surf lessons, sand surfing at the largest dunes on the east coast, shopping, riding vehicles on the beach in Corolla and photographing the wild horses of Corolla. We even successfully escaped from a local escape room and enjoyed the famous Duck doughnuts! The staff at Beach Realty provided prompt responses to our questions and were very supportive and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better family vacation and one that we will remember with a smile!

Manager's Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time in the Outer Banks and the home met you and your families needs! We hope to welcome you back to the beach very soon!

Review of Castle in the Sand

the weather was cold and wet during our visit but the house was great for our needs. we had a total of 15 people ( adults and childeren) and the house provided lots of space for everyone to either come together or split off in separate groups. The only negative was wifi connectivity which was not great.

Truly enjoyed a week in the lovely Castle in the Sand. Our family loved the space and the large picture windows overlooking the beach! Enough room to eat and have a game/puzzle table. Great theater room for watching movies and our daughter loved playing packman. The location is perfect for sunrise walks to the Kitty Hawk Pier. My favorite part of the trip! Beautiful large bedrooms, four with ocean views December is wonderful in the Outer Banks.

Thank you Randy for your review. This house is AMAZING! It is well appointed and has every amenity a vacationing family could need and more. Oceanfront with a pool equals great times.

The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were a wonderful bonus! The only thing would probably update the main living area near the kitchen with a bigger TV (not that we watched much with the beach so close. The back steps needs lighting for its very dark at night. Overall, We would definitely recommend for large family gatherings and would consider renting again. Thank you!!

The house size and proximity to the ocean were as advertised and simply gorgeous.The ocean view and sunrises were spectacular.Bedrooms and bathrooms met our expectations. The kitchen and great room were spacious and open with plenty of room for the 18 members of our family. The ice maker was an unexpected surprise. Two refrigerators and two dishwashers were very valuable as we entertained throughout the week. The pool and hot tub were very nice with an unexpected mid week cleaning. Washer and dryer got much use. More than enough parking and shopping was very close. On the negative side, the outside deck and house siding needed attention. Walkway to the beach and area around the house needed weed control. Wifi strength and connectivity was poor. Inside furniture was somewhat worn down. Only one of three vacuums worked properly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Overall, the house and property were perfect for our family reunion. We had so much fun catching up, playing in the ocean, pool, and hot tub, exploring community attractions, eating out and in, shore fishing, watching the ghost crabs and best of all, night viewing of leatherback laying her eggs. So much to do. The week flew by. Thank you for the new beach chairs/umbrellas!!
