Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Pleasant staff breakfast sufficient clean room restaurant good"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We would have selected Excellent except our room was not on the ocean side. It was the first time of not having a ocean side room since we stay there twice a year and for several years. Everything else was very good. Breakfast crew was friendly and very accommodating. It was good to see some familiar faces.

We stayed at Sandcastle two years ago and loved it. Our room looked straight out onto the ocean. we could see the pier also. It had a garage and small patio which we used. Of course we got there day before the storms hit. But Enjoyed ourselves.
