Our family stayed in a two-bedroom unit (221) recently. It was clean, comfortable, and had an absolutely wonderful view of the ocean/beach and pool....and a large balcony to boot. We did not expect a Hyatt/Hilton posh experience and we certainly were not disappointed....it's the beach environment and small town atmosphere that we wanted. Yes, the rates were high...but that's expected... More

The place is nice, great pool and maid service with easy access to the beach. However, the property manager would be very well advised to conduct a "secret shopper" type of investigation of his front desk staff. Some are fine, but there are several that I would fire in a heartbeat. One day after a workout, my wife and I... More

Sandcastle has always been consistently good, with a helpful staff that is always ready to assist in any way they can. The pool is a beautiful oasis, the views are spectacular, and the beach is always conveniently close. We plan to spend every year we can there. More

We enjoyed our 5 day stay at the Sandcastle. Our room was ready on arrival and very clean. We had a beautiful view of the pool and ocean from our efficiency, 531. It is all the room you will need for two people. The condo is readily supplied with dishes and cookware in the kitchenette. The room is clean and... More

he Sandcastle building is rusty, wet, moldy and disgusting. The carpeting in the halls was revolting, the windows are covered in corrosion, rust and mold. Unit 110 smelled of mold when I walked in. Then I discovered a family of birds living in the air vent near the bed. After several calls to maintenance who came up & heard the... More

Response from management: Sandcastle Condos is located in a harsh environment being right on the Gulf Coast when it comes to rust and corrosion due to salt air and humidity. I take exception to the extreme comment of the look of the property. The hallways are kept up on a regular basis and mold is not common here. ** Also... More

We stayed in a one bedroom (#218) with a beach and pool view and room was very nice and clean. It was updated, so the bathroom was "newer" than most and the kitchen had been updated as well. Only issue was that it took a while to get the refrigerator to cool down. SandCastle has always been a great stay!... More

First of all, I would like to mention that the pool, grounds, and boardwalk was very clean and well attended to. The view from our balcony was perfect with just a tiny bit of sun but mostly shaded. We were in unit 420. However, there was a strong odor upon entering the unit. The carpet appeared very worn and stained.... More

We have stayed here before, and we always want to return. Almost all the balconies have a nice sea view. The rooms are spacious and have useable little kitchens. The staff seams to care and evrything runs smoothly. Over-all cleanliness is good. There is a nice large pool area and great boardwalk over the dunes to a wide beach. More

We got here and checked in and it was ok. It was 81 degrees in the room so we set it cooler an hour later it was 82 degrees and we called the office and they took a while to get to us while we baked in the room. The maintenance man got here and then left. They gave us... More

Living in Texas for most of my life, we've stayed at several of the condos in the Port Aransas area. A friend recommended Sandcastle about eight years ago, and it is the only one we book at now. Condo 235 was our most recent stay. For an efficiency, I think it is the best yet. It is updated and very... More
