Awesome house and great location - house was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Hot tub & pool were very enjoyable. Access to Ocean Hills beach very convenient to either walk or drive . My grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool by the fitness center and turtle pond - large shallow area for the little ones! We were also within walking distance to Old Corolla Village, Lighthouse and the wild horse area. Lots to do and see. I highly recommend this house and location.

This house was perfect for my family of 12. The pool and hot tub were great. This home was close to the beach and 4 wheel drive beach also shopping area was close. We has a wonderful vacation.

Spacious and clean! Community amenities were a plus! Great family getaway house. The extra bit of a drive up to Corolla was worth it - not crowded for mid-June! Still lots to do in the area. We enjoyed the community amenities! Beach access was very short drive and easy to get to. Note: kitchen was very well stocked with kitchenware, but spice rack, etc. was empty. Bring spices from home if you are going to cook. Would highly recommend this house if water view is not essential!

Amazing House!

Castle in the sand was the perfect house for our adult only vacation. The kitchen was well stocked and furniture was sturdy. The pool was the perfect size for a few couples. 5 minute drive to the 4x4 beach. Check in was a breeze. Bedrooms were all in great shape and great sizes. Washer and dryer was in excellent working condition.

Very Nice Area and Very Laid Back!

Fantastic house perfect for spring break - it has everything- heated pool, hot tub, game room. We had a blast - less than half a mile to the 4x4 beach access and right next to the Corolla Adventure Park. I bookmarked this one to stay again next year!

The best vacation we could have imagined. Property was fantastic and as advertised. Perfect for all ages. The children loved being able to stretch out in their own rooms. The pool and hot tub were cleaned while we were there, and the technician was friendly and pleasant and made quick work to not intrude. Short, scenic walk to the beach. Everything else could have dreamed in a vacation, we found in the Castle in the Sand. 100% satisfied and would recommend anyone having a first family vacation to look into this property. This will be one of our options for next year. This place will always hold a special spot in our hearts. Thank you for such a great experience.

This was a great family spot for our beach vacation. Plenty of room for everyone, full kitchen, pool and hot tub. We had a few maintenance issues when we first arrived but we called customer service and they came out to fix it right away. Very pleased.

This beach house is perfect for your family to truly enjoy all Corolla has to offer. The house is spacious, clean, plenty of room for big (or small) families, fun for kids, and great if you have pets! The house has a fenced in yard for your furry family members, which is very convenient. The amenities were amazing - our toddler loved being able to walk to the community park right behind the house every morning. Beach access is a short ride across the street, but also walkable. You can also easily get to the lighthouse, Carova beach, shopping and restaurants in just a few minutes. We will definitely be staying here every summer for our family vacation!! Highly recommend!!

There was twelve of us off and on thru the week. Best weather we have ever had during our stay. The house was great, the porches always had a breeze and loved the landscaping and pools area. We had two older dogs that had a hard time with the stairs but other than that everything was great. Kitchen was fully equipped and we did not have to use any of the stuff we always bring just in case. Also like being across from the fitness center, tennis courts and pickleball courts too.

Excellent Place to Stay!

It was my first trip to the OBX and it was during the off-season. We needed a place that accommodated dogs and were looking for a place to kind of get off the grid for a bit. Well this place had everything. It was extremely spacious with multiple levels, a game room, washer/dryer, grill, pool (off season so it was understandably closed), hot tub, and just a beautiful place in general. We were able to find places to eat nearby that were great, Uncle Ikes and Corolla Cantina to name a few and grocery shopping was also nearby. We wanted to see the wild horses and .... well... they were literally walking around the development 2 of the 4 mornings we spent. While they were rounded up and returned to their safe natural habitat, it was amazing to hear them nearby and see them close. This place would be ideal for a larger multifamily trip. In fact, the people that stayed there before us seemed to have a good time for Thanksgiving based on the recycling left out in front for pick up when we arrived. All in all, I would recommend this place 10 out of 10 times.
