Castle In the Sand
We had a great time at Castle in the Sand! The home was beautiful and we had so much space to relax with a large group. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The private walk out to the beach made our days down by the water with two little ones extremely easy. The rental company was also very easy to work with. We had an issue with the pool heat a day after we got there and it was corrected within an hour and no hassle. If we make the trip down to the Outer Banks again, we will definitely use this company and look to stay at Castle in the Sand!
Manager's Response
Courtney, Thanks for making Castle in the Sand part of your getaway! We're thrilled you and your crew had a fantastic stay—from comfy beds to that dreamy private beach walk. Our team’s always here to keep things hassle-free, even when the pool's feeling chilly . We’d love to welcome you back to the Outer Banks anytime!

This was our 2nd year at Castle in the Sand and we have reserved for next year. Our family loves the house and all the facilities, heated pool, game room, on the beach.

Amazing Place to Stay
This is our second year in this wonderful home. The property is well-maintained and stocked with everything you could possible EVER need. The home is clean, the rooms spacious and comfortable. Loved the addition of the new Living Room Furniture. The extended (LONG) table was perfect for meals and for playing cards. The views from this home were spectacular (sunrise from the back deck and sunset from the front) Amazing! The theater room was wonderful, although the seats are well-worn, but they were comfortable. Only recommendation would be to update the bed linens to make the brighten the bedrooms a little.
Manager's Response
Annette, Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the 'extended (LONG)' table – perfect for both meals and epic card tournaments. We'll take your advice on the bed linens – after all, a brightened bedroom is a happy bedroom! Looking forward to welcoming you back for year three in our spectacular sunrise-sunset paradise!"

Heavy surf/great family trip
We had a great time. The location and home is awesome, however the living room furniture needs to be replaced or chair covers could be an option. The grout in some of the showers should be cleaner (some nasty looking spots) and some of the shower liners could be replaced. The pool and game room were well used and the kitchen was well stocked. Overall we enjoyed our stay and booked for next year.
Manager's Response
Thad, Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your positive comments about the location and the home. We'll definitely take your suggestions into consideration and work on improving the living room furniture, shower grout, and liners. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again next year.

Castle in the Sand
We had a great time in this home on the beach. It rained and was cool a couple days during our week but we had fun in the game room and the heated pool and hot tub. I reported that a couple nails popped up and a board came loose on the deck and boardwalk. Also the garage door operator needed lubrication. Josh showed up within an hour and did a great job. We've booked for next year.

William, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had a great time despite the weather hiccups, and we're committed to keeping the property in top shape. Looking forward to hosting you again next year! ️

Had a lovely week, the home was clean, location perfect. Had my morning coffee on the deck with sun coming up,watching the dolphins. Very relaxing. Only regret, some actives the grandchild would have enjoyed hadn’t opened yet. We were a week off. Would rent this location again

We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic time at Beach Blessing, and we're especially impressed with your dolphin-summoning morning coffee routine! ☕ We can't wait to welcome you back for another week of sunrises, dolphins, and hopefully some wide-awake activities for the grandchild! #BeachBlessingAdventures

Nice, needs a little updating
The house easily accommodated 11 people. The location was great however, the main road stays quite busy and be difficult to pull out at times. The overall vacation was perfect getting up every morning walking the beach and watching the beautiful sunrises. The house does need some updating like new fixtures, faucets and all the furniture was worn. Some of the beds in the rooms are due to be replaced. It wasn't overly clean upon arrival, and we wiped somethings down. We defiantly left it cleaner then it was on arrival. The only real issue was the built in oven was broken upon arrival and we didn't get any emails indicating this and considering it was Easter we found it quite difficult to pull together Easter dinner in 2 toaster ovens. Overall we enjoyed our stay and wished that it hadn't ended so soon.
Thanks

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.

Perfect House!
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!

Nice house with great location. Weather was awesome and the beach was perfect. The pool was a hit as well. Having the two car garage for storage was a huge help.

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!

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.
Manager's Response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. WiFi on the island is unfortunately spotty at times and we apologize for the inconvenience. However, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your vacation and we hope to welcome you back to the beach very soon!

Perfect!!
We had a fantastic time at Castle in the Sand! We have 7 children and 7 grandchildren. We fit in the house perfectly and had room to spare. We didn't feel crowded at all. The location is beautiful. Everything was clean and in working order. The game room was a nice way to wind down a long day at the beach and pool. We absolutely loved it!!!

Beach trip
Our rental experience was overall very good ... one shower in our house could have been a lot cleaner and one other shower didn’t drain very well but over all the house was great

Perfect vacation home on the beach!
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.

Wonderful Stay!
We had a fabulous time in this GORGEOUS beachfront home! Highly recommend for multi-family stay!
Manager's Response
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. Plus, this house is in an amazing location with just a short drive to downtown Duck and to all the shopping and dinning in Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills, but then again you don't need to leave this house at all with all it offers. We sincerely hope to see you at the beach again soon with Beach Realty!

Fabulous!!
We had a wonderful time with family. The house has a fantastic views and ample room for everyone to feel comfortable. Everyone loved the game room with the cozy recliners and pool table. 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!!

Castle in the Sand
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.

The Perfect Getaway for our Family
This home was the perfect choice for a relaxing, ocean front vacation for all 20 of us (ages 1-62) aside from the location and amenities of the home, the little decorative touches made this home even more interesting and fun. Highly recommend this home. It really is a Castle in the Sand❤

Outstanding Outer Banks Family Vacation
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!!
