Our second booking at the Charming Sandcastle Cottage did not disappoint. As before, check-in went smoothly, kitchen stocked with basic start ups, as well as extra paper good necessities left behind from prior guest. Super clean, which is #1 on my list, with cleaning supplies available if you feel the need to tidy up. Comfy beds, nice open family room to spread out and enjoy movie or family games. There's a nice patio set if you want to chill outback, as well as propane grill(always good to check the tank before you shop for those steaks and burgers).Very kid and pet friendly home. Jessica, the property manager was amazing. Responded quickly to our txt messages, took care of any issues we experienced, and respected our family time. Looking forward to our next family trip to Miramar and stay at the Sandcastle Cottage!

Nicely tugged away in the neighborhood. Enjoined the beach and the pool.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Not as advertised. Its in a great neighborhood, but this place is poorly maintained. We arrived to dead roaches. Master ceiling fan broken. Hall bath toilet doesn't flush. Carpets and baseboards are dirty. Rental rates and cleaning fees should reflect the quality of the property, and in this case they do not. Do not recommend.
