Jeff at the bar, Bob the General Manager, "Baltimore Joe", just to name a few. Coconuts has the best happy hour and great food. Live... More

I stayed at Castle in the Sand from Fri to Monday for Memorial Day. We had a Castle North room; very clean for a beach hotel. The room had LARGE windows with a view of the pool, parking, other cottages, even the beach across the street. My only complaint is that we didn't have a balcony; pretty much every hotel... More

Dear “Deepher” Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. Our housekeeping staff strives to maintain an exceptional level of cleanliness. It seems as though you stayed in one of our Castle North Penthouse suites, on the bayside of the building. If you prefer a balcony, you might stay in one of our Castle North Suites, or Castle...

Staying in a Castle North Suite with an ocean-front balcony is an annual treat I give myself every late May or Early June, and it is heavenly. The suites are roomy, clean and inviting, with a full-size fridge, a toaster and some counter space in the kitchenette. This year, the new kitchen / dining table, updated furniture, carpeting and fixtures... More

I've been going to "The Castle" for about 25 years. It's been owned by the Showell family and their hands-on approach really shows. Employees are busy smiling, cleaning, serving, and making you feel really special. The Coconuts bar is lots of fun and really fills up during Happy Hour with locals and hotel guests! Music from live bands provide even... More

We stayed in the Waverly Castle and had a fabulous view of the ocean. Pricing was very accommodating. Parking was easy (it was right before springfest). If you go in April, half of what you want will be closed. Would of had a better time if we went later, but, not the Castle's fault.
