The Sand Castle
This property was amazing in every way! It was my husband and myself for half of the time, and our daughter and her fiancé for a couple of nights. It was cozy, comfortable and clean. The sunsets on the Delaware Bay were the most beautiful I have ever seen! In the past, we have always gone to Wildwood Crest, but I wanted to try something new. It was great! We did drive to Wildwood to go to the beach because we really like the beach there. If you’re looking fir the Wildwood atmosphere, this is not the place for you. If you want to be in a calm and peaceful environment this IS the place for you! We encountered many friendly people and always felt safe. Ken and Suzanne left water, beer and coffee for us to enjoy. If we had any questions they were easily reached and helped with whatever we needed. If you do rent this adorable little place, you will not be disappointed!

Best Kept Secret Down The Shore Beach!
We had a lovely stay at the Sandcastle for a little birthday weekend retreat. The house was so nicely made up for our stay with everything we - and our dog - needed. The pull out couch and crisp AC kept us cozy during the rain while the beach and marina gave us lots to explore in the sun. Feels like we discovered a special secret town with this sweet house and can’t wait to go back for a longer stay next time!
