Great for multiple families

This house is massive and well kept. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy views from every floor. Host and management company were both very responsive and addressed things quickly. The location can’t be beat being right on the water with kids. Highly recommend for family vacations!

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.

Amazingly beautiful home and stunning views!!

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.

Bridge Group Getaway

I went to St. George with six of my best friends to relax, play cards, do puzzles and ride bikes. Sandcastle is a lovely, large house that has an amazing view of the gulf and plenty of room to spread out. Sean is an amazing host and I would love to go back there and take my family next time.

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!

Wonderful stay at "A Sandcastle"

This is a perfect property for a large group to stay at. There were 7 adults and 3 children in our group and everyone loved the property. The amenities and furnishings at "A Sandcastle" are first rate. It was so nice to have two living areas (one on the second floor and one on the third floor where our group could spread out. The kitchen and it's furnishings were very impressive, and loved the view from the third floor area. Being wheelchair - bound, the elevator was a godsend, and enabled me to traverse anywhere in the property. The community swimming pool essentially across the street was also a hit with our group. I really can't say enough nice things about this property, and would love to stay there again in the future. The owner of this property was very easy to communicate with, and went out of his way to provide me with information related to accessibility for wheelchair use and other details. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this wonderful property.

We booked again for next year.

We were a group of 10 including adults and teens. The house and location were great. We found pictures and descriptions to be accurate. If anything, the interior looks much better in person. In particular, we loved the hall pantry giving us a convenient space to store food without having to disrupt the organization of kitchen cabinets. Bedrooms had large empty closets giving plenty of space to stow empty coolers and bags. Our teens loves the hot tub. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well stocked (but if you are cooking for a crowd, you might want to bring a large skillet with you and if you are baking, a good set of measuring spoons). One thing the description doesn't make clear is that there are two half baths: One is on the upper living level, the other is ground level right off the water. I booked directly with the owner through vrbo but home is actually managed by a local management company. Management company sent loads of emails that didn't apply to me, but they were very nice every time I called with a question. House turns on Sunday. Many others that are surrounding are also rentals turning on Saturday. Not that it ever felt crowded, but we had the beach to ourselves on Saturday which was very nice.

About the host

Hosted by Homeowner

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 with a deep love of St George Island as we have fond memories of visiting the Island as children - and watching our children create their own memories. We love the island because it has retained its unique character and beauty that existed even before the bridge was built. We are lovers of the great food that comes from the gulf and the bay, the amazing restaurants nearby that prepare and serve it, and the the unmatched relaxation that SGI affords all of us.

There are few moments in life like witnessing the sunrise at SGI and we encourage people to get up early and snap some shots , then enjoy the rest of your amazing days on the water. There is nothing like it. Enjoy our place!

Why they chose this property

Unlike many beachfront homes that cram many smaller rooms into a footprint, this home offers the opposite: tons of space on all floors. Open floor plans, tons of storage, and room to roam and relax.
