We have stayed at The Sandcastle Hotel numerous times and it never disappoints. The reception desk staff were friendly and accommodating upon check-in and check-out.The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. We were fortunate to have an oceanfront room and spent considerable time on the balcony overlooking the beach. The housekeeper was friendly, thorough and gracious.

Loved the property and location. However, my room was next door to the cafe and a maintenance room. Very loud...and I got awakened at 6:45 am by some staff members taking loudly right outside my door. Would stay there again, but DEFINITELY not in that particular room.
