As a family with young children, it was important to find a clean, family friendly unit with easy access to the beach and shopping activities. This unit was a winner! The remodeling was beautiful, updated furnishings put us in the tropical mood, and so many details had been attended to that all we needed were groceries. It had everything we desired for fun in the sun, and was the perfect place to wind down after the day's activities. The owner was very kind and called to check on us after our arrival. This unit was able to accommodate all of our needs and we will definitely look to stay here again the next time we stay in Cocoa Beach.

Owners response: We are always pleased when we find that someone enjoys Sandcastles 315 as much as we do. We hope to have you back again soon. We make small improvements each time we vist in an attempt to keep the unit fresh. We have made a few changes since you were here so please come back and enjoy.

Wonderful beachfront condo!, December 2, 2012
By Brandy Shaw (Brewer, ME)
Beautiful condo in a great location! This was our first visit to Cocoa Beach and felt very welcomed in this rental. The proximity to the beach itself was perfect. Everything was very clean and tidy. Thank you very much for making our first visit to FL a memorable one. We hope to visit again!

This condo surpassed our expectations! It was very comfortable and up-to-date. We loved the kitchen (the Publix grocery is very close) and really appreciated having a washing machine! The beds were comfortable. And the condo complex was actually very quiet. Honestly, the only thing I can think of that I can possibly complain about is the low supply of kitchen towels/dishcloths.
We enjoyed the quality pool and hot tub, but the beach was the best. It was easy to access and was a very enjoyable place to rest, play, dig, and swim. The kids were thrilled with the availability of the beach toys and boogie boards. The supplied beach towels and chairs were a plus!
I talked to the owner before hand and he was very informative. The price was amazing and we appreciated the last minute discount. We would come back again!

Owners response: Thank you so much for your kind words. We stay in the unit ourselves 3 or 4 times a year and so want to keep it in good shape for ourselves as well as our guests. We are going down in a few weeks and will put some more kitchen/dish towels in the kitchen. If you stay with us again feel free to call even for minor problems and we will help in anyway that we can. If you find something that you just can't live without during your stay, give me a call. Other guests have bought what they needed and sent me the receipt and I sent them payment but again please call before hand so there is no misunderstanding.

We were very happy with our choice to use a condo rental over a hotel. The unit was clean, nicely decorated and offered some good amenities. We appreciated the overall layout and size of the unit, it worked well for a family with teenagers. Having a washer/dryer, beach chairs and towels and a kitchen made our stay more enjoyable. We most enjoyed our Kayaking tour through the Cocoa Beach Thousand Islands, and the $50 a week surfboard rental from Ron Jon.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Owner Response: Thank you for visiting our Florida home. A condo offers many advantages over a hotel. The unit is almost 1300 square feet with two baths and a full modern kitchen, things you will not find in a hotel room. We love Thousand Islands as well and visit the park on Ramp Road almost every time we are in Cocoa Beach. We would welcome you back anytime; you were great guests

The condo was clean and the furnishings very comfortable as well as attractive. Photos reflected exactly what condo looked like. We especially enjoyed nearness to the pool and the third floor convenience. TV in living room was great as was wi-fi. Overall, condo was very comfortable and close to the ports (if you are cruising), golf courses and Space Center. Publix and Walmart close by. Owner was response and available for questions. Would recommend this condo and would like to make it part of our annual trip.

Owners response: Thank you for your kind review. I always enjoyed talking to you and am looking forward to hearing from you next year. I hope you enjoyed your trip on the auto train, if I was nearer to D.C. I would try it sometime.

The unit was very comfortable and generally suited our needs. I would point out that when we arrived, we had to make up the beds (linens were furnished); it did not appear that the bathtub had been cleaned (there was hair in it, so we did not use it); and there were a few dirty dishes in the sink. The owner was very responsive to our inquiries while we were there. It would have been helpful to have information on site on how to access the wireless internet, as well as departure "procedures." We enjoyed our stay (despite Tropical Storm Debby), and would not hesitate to recommend the unit to a friend.

Owners response: I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to hear from you again next year. The unit should sparkle when you arrive as it has when we have arrived in the past. Upon your next visit, please do not hesitate to call so that we can correct any problems. I am very sorry and embarassed by this. We had stayed in the unit before you and left that morning after cleaning the carpets and tile floors and washing all the linens. The cleaning service was supposed to finish up but obviously did not. I have ordered new locks which are electronic that will text me when the housekeepers arrive so that if they do not, I will be able to contact them so that this never happens again. I look forward to hearing from you about your vacation needs next year and will work with you to make up for your inconvience. The unit now has a notebook with information about the unit, the complex and the area.

We stayed at the condo in May 2012. Had a very nice time and enjoyed the unit and area immensely. We found the condo to be very nicely furnished and well maintained. The furniture was very nice and we found everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The owners were very easy to work with an we appreciated their follow-up call to see how our stay was going and to recommend places to eat in the area of which we ate at the Atlantic Seafood Grill on the Cocoa Beach Pier and at Grills at Port Canaveral. The pool was very nice, clean and as a whole, the whole condo complex was very clean and I would visit again any time I have the chance to do so. I had not been to Cocoa Beach since 1995 and it was very nice to see that so much of the beach in this area is well preserved and still has dunes which were so pretty. Good view of the ocean too from the unit. Thanks again to the owners for an enjoyable stay.

Owners response: You are very welcome. You were the first person to stay in my unit after I started handling the bookings myself so I was happy to hear that you had a good stay. We worked hard to make the unit very comfortable for our guests and have made a few more improvments since your visit so I encourage you to come back again next year.
