Beachfront @ Sandcastles! Ocean View & New Reno !!

Very close to the beach had a nice pool, condo very clean and very smooth on the check in.

Beach view, clean room

The condo was spacious, light, well equipped for a great vacation. The host was fantastic, responsive, kind! The location is excellent for beaching, watching launches, restaurants all around. We did not use the beautiful pool, it was a bit chilly. The third floor location meant we could walk rather than use the elevator, great for getting in your steps. We were there for a month, I wish we could have stayed longer.

I would have given this unit a higher ranking, but based on what we got vs. what we paid for it, it just didn't live up to the listing. For what we paid, we thought we were getting something much better. Pros:Right on the beachNice pool areaClose to restaurants, groceries, shopping. etc.Kitchen and bathrooms recently remodeledProperty manager (Zareh) was INCREDIBLE. Very responsive to our needs. He mad what could have been a bad situation much more tolerable.ConsWARNING: construction of a major hotel and conference center is happening right next to this unit. This unit's balcony overlooks a crappy old condo unit and the construction site. Construction noise begins at 7:30am and ends near sunset. Yes, you can crane your neck and see the ocean but it's not what your main view is. Had we known this, we would not have booked it. The owner now has posted about this on the listing.Unit is not exactly as shown in the pictures. When you look closely (e.g. bathroom corners, baseboards, etc. not shown in photos) you can tell this unit is old, tired, and worn. Baseboards were scuffed with dirt; bathroom cabinets were chipped and scuffed. Bottom-line: The condo would have been acceptable if the construction wasn't happening and if we hadn't paid so much for what we got. It's a decent unit for the right price. Just know that it's not as presented in the photos.

The unit was fine. It has been updated in some areas. The primary bedroom bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was very hard and the pillows were flat. I did not sleep well during our stay and experienced back pain from the hard bed. There is new construction next door that was very annoying. Obviously this is not the fault of the owner but even on the beach the noise was distracting. I will not be staying at Sandcastles in the near future.
