My husband and I recently stayed at the Sand Castle and it was absolutely wonderful! It was just the 2 of us and we spent most of our time outside so it was way more house than we needed, but it was also JUST what we needed…a nice, quiet, peaceful, relaxing getaway. You cannot beat the location & the view of the water. We had never spent time on Lake Michigan, but it’s beautiful. The waves were rough a couple of days so it sounded like the ocean. I would definitely come back to this place. It’s comfortable and cozy & did I mention the view? The only thing better than a beach, is a beach where you’re the only ones on it!
Ok, now other stuff: we only used the master bedroom and the bed was super comfy. If you like really FIRM pillows, you may want to bring your own. Place was super clean! Floors in master do creak so if you’re a light sleeper, may want to bring some earplugs. Didn’t bother us. Ice maker didn’t make a ton of ice and the stream of water was slow so if you like a lot of ice and water, may want to get some bagged ice and bottled water. Game room looked super fun! We spent pretty much all of our time outside soaking up the view so didn’t use it, but still fun to have and a nice bonus! Kitchen is stocked with about everything you can imagine. Even the bathroom had a curling iron and straightener with the blow dryer!
Check-in was super easy. Host was responsive. I was worried about the trash, but I think we did it right. Lol
Overall, 10/10 would recommend!
