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!

We stayed with 2 other families, 6 adults and 5 teens. The house had a kitchen with everything we needed to cook at home. The 2 dishwashers, 2 refrigerators, and ice maker were amazing. The beach was small and hard to walk on, so we spent more of our time at the pool and hot tub. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great house with all amenities. Utilizing the garage for storage is very helpful.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
Excellent beach location, we had a great time, but the “owner” needs to step up.
1.The“owners” lawn care company hit a large stone while mowing the lawn and hit one of our cars causing a dent and paint damage. We immediately called the rental company and they said they would contact the “owner”. We have heard NOTHING back from the “owner”.
2. The house is not at all what the pictures show in the listing, it is very well “used”. Duct tape on the furniture, broken chairs, child gates that are broke and useless, the washing machine was broken and not working properly, electric outlet issues, lighting in the pool area where the switches were sparking and light bulbs were out. (We called the rental company and they did send someone out to take care of the electrical issues and address a few other minor problems quickly). The decks are extremely worn, watch out for slivers and nails. The railing to the beach deck was rotted and broken.
3.The bedding was well worn and did not have mattress covers. Some of the spreads were filthy and there was sand in, and on the bedding. We wondered if the “cleaning service” had actually changed the bedding. It seems as if they sprayed the entire house with disinfectant and that was about it. There was mold in many of the showers. Simple bleach can clean that up….
4.Be aware that the house is on the main road, understand that’s there is a LOT of traffic. We heard NO street noise but had to be careful when pulling out of the driveway.
