Awesome house with plenty of amenities! Beautiful views and great location too. We have been to Isle of Palms a number of times and this was by far our favorite house. Hope to rent again!
We loved this house. It was perfect for our family. We treated it like it was our own. Everything was top quality!! The check in woman (Abby) was delightful and helpful at check in and throughout the stay. I hope we can reserve for next year.
The property is gorgeous, extremely well appointed, artistically decorated, and a pleasure to experience insiide and out. Nothing was overlooked. It was truly a week to savor.
This property is beautiful and clean with easy access to the beach. The porches are an extra perk! The art and the decor are fabulous while still being comfortable. Our family enjoyed cooking together in the nice sized kitchen and playing games around the large mosaic coffee table in the great room and table on the deck. A home away from home! Extra kudos to, Abby, the property manager who was always available. To the owners, thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Oh my goodness. Iâm not sure I can put it in words. Every square foot was filled with conveniences. By far the best kitchen Iâve ever stayed at. Itâs more than 5 stars. Itâs a 10!! I will be back.
This home is not only aesthetically special, the layout was perfect. Bedrooms are not contiguous and quiet. The porches are spectacular, pool is sheltered and accessible, kitchen is gourmet both appliances and equipped, elevator a plus for move in or out. We loved our stay.
Priceless family dinners on the porch overlooking the beach!
Clean as a pin, despite being on the beach(sand). Ate dinner every night on the back porch off the kitchen...squeezed 12 of us around the table - Priceless! Great communication and Abby (concierge) was super attentive. Only one hiccup, and it was quickly remedied, plus we received a little extra something for our trouble. Overall, a great week...thanks!
Family and friends summer fun getting back to normal and together we
Laura Baxter Boyle who checked us in was lovely to deal with handled check in and some little problems we had
She was easy to contact and quick to solve problems
We had a great time
Without a doubt my family had the most memorable vacation. The house was so warm and inviting. The bedrooms were so cozy & comfotable. I loved all the bathrooms. That really made everyone so happy, gathering on the porch or the beautiful living room and kitchen was perfect for enjoying each other's company. The kitchen made it so easy to cook meals. Of course I have to say how much my family enjoyed the pool. Lots of fun was had by all. Big success!!!!!
What a wonderful vacation my family enjoyed at The Sandcastle! We loved the beautiful colors, amazing art work, relaxing outdoor areas & great floor plan. Location was ideal with great ocean views & convenient to shops & restaurants in Charleston & Mt. Pleasant. Hope we can be fortunate enough to vacation here again.
This is by far the best place we have ever rented! It is everything we wanted and much more. Easy, flowing floor plan with fantastic views of the beach from almost every room on main floor and from three of the five upstairs bedrooms. The owners paid "attention to detail" throughout with fabulous art work, wall colors, cabinets, furniture, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, etc. Every spot in the house is lovely and interesting. Yet, it is kid friendly and a place where all can totally relax. We especially loved the decks and porches. I will go back in a heartbeat.
This was a vacation where we set the bar very high in terms of expectations. In addition to my wife and I we also had our eldest son and new daughter in-law and my senior son in college. We have rented for years on the ocean but this one had to be special and this property hit it clear out of the park. Everything was perfect and the house was extraordinary. Every detail in the home was spot on, super clean and very well appointed. As for the amenities where do you begin; the house...amazing...the pool awesome...the private beach...that one will leave you speechless. Finally, the entire experience, which included a warm welcome with an onsite professional manager to a property where the owners clearly care and invest to keep this property looking brand new it was just awesome.
Needless to say we are selecting dates now for a return in 2016!
This house is our 14th beach rental. Our group of friends have never had a security deposit issue, let alone being described as leaving "filth" and the worst tenants in 10 years. The owner initially withheld the entire deposit and claimed the pool was clogged, glass was broken in the garage, lights were ripped off, the deck needed to be professionally cleaned, and garbage wasn't removed. The owner was unresponsive to emails and uncooperative towards resolving this issue. After 4 weeks of sending emails asking for receipts and "proof of damage" the owner mailed back 90% of the deposit. The remaining amount was supposedly for "excessive cleaning" and not worth our effort to reclaim. Frankly, this entire episode was personally insulting and the offensive comments by the owner did not indicate that this was a professional rental operation.
As for the house and location, it is a well maintained property with a good view. Overall, the house is not kid friendly due to all of the glass art work and the "black" pool. The pool has a "black" liner that makes the water very warm in the summertime and it has a large submerged step around the perimeter that is invisible. This pool is for adults and not recommended for kids that like to jump into pools.
The house comes with a tiny electric grill that is inadequate for a house that accommodates 14 people. We incorrectly assumed that our expensive weekly rental would have included an inexpensive gas grill, but we were wrong. We purchased a gas grill at Lowe's and brought it back to the house and left it there for the next tenants. Unfortunately, the owner threw out the grill and was apparently livid that we tried to grill food on our summer vacation.
It's hard to believe something this unique is available for rent. Our group was continuously amazed - no detail was overlooked and every corner is a work of art. Despite being exceptionally beautiful, the house is very livable and we were relaxed and comfortable throughout our stay. We felt like we were in a movie ~ a gorgeous home, oceanfront views, a beautiful beach. The house feels very private with a large private beach, yet we were close to the local village. We loved having a beach vacation, but still being so close to Charleston with it's history, shopping and unbelievable dining. I really liked the woman who helped us with the reservations, very personal and helpful. I highly recommend the Sandcastle ~ I wish all our rental experiences were this special.
WOW, was my family's first reaction when first we saw the Sandcastle! We loved everything about it - the beautiful outdoor paint colors of the home, the welcoming front entry, the exquisite attention to detail in the interior, and of course, the best, was walking straight out of the back door, and there you are, on the beach itself! The gourmet kitchen was great for preparing meals, and we all enjoyed eating out on the back deck overlooking the ocean! Whether walking the beach for exercise, searching for shells with the children, sitting/reading/soaking up the sun in a comfy beach chair, or building sand castles, there were always many options to wake up to each morning! Then, there is the close proximity to Charleston, and all of its history, shopping, and great dining! What more could one ask for in a family vacation? We will most definitely be returning to the Sandcastle to create more wonderful family memories!
Our family has been to the Sandcastle a few times and have loved it every time. Walks on the beach, pool for the kids, and beautiful home have made our stay so enjoyable. My husband travels for business and it's a great place for the family to stay while in Charleston. Love all the art in the house and every room is decorated beautifully. Can't wait to stay at the Sandcastle again when we return to Charleston.
My family had a fabulous time at the Sandcastle. Ages ranged from 3-67 and a wonderful time was had by all. We enjoyed walks on the beach (one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited), excellent entertainment in nearby Charleston, and special family time in a beautiful, luxury home. We look forward to returning again in late Spring/early Summer. Also planning a girls' trip for shopping, dining and golf.
Sandcastle was everything we've ever dreamed of in a vacation home: spotless, spacious, elegant and relaxing. The views inside (gorgeous original art and furnishings) rival the views of the dunes and Atlantic, and echo the colors. Truly a place that feeds the soul.
On the practical side, the kitchen is a dream (though there are tons of great restaurants nearby) and the elevator really helps with luggage and groceries. Hope I get to return SOON.
The Sandecastle is extraordinary! The house was beautiful and I didn't want to leave once I got there. The inlaid tile around the fireplace and in the kitchen and the floors are beautiful. The house is filled with art work created by the owner and decorated with an artist's eye for the unusual. The wrap around porches are relaxing and great for meals to watch the sunrise or for gatherings or parties. The bedrooms are luxurious and comfortable many of them have their own porch. Actually you could spend a lot of time going from room to room just marveling over it's beauty. I can not say enough wonderful things about this home and hope to return very soon.
