We spent a month at SandKastle. Nicole was a wonderful host going above and beyond to address any questions or concerns. For example when I mentioned we had no news channels and we were looking for news on the war she upgraded our cable package ! The unit is spacious and super close to the beach. We enjoyed the deck the most . It has plenty of room both shade and sun and a great view of the ocean. Lots of restaurants and shopping in the neighborhood and a short walk to the Galleria mall and the major hotels on A1A. No no need for a car. It is busy neighborhood especially on the weekends.
