Look no further for your ultimate vacation dream home! This exclusive home offers vast Gulf and lake views, a private pool, professional décor, and spacious accommodations for 21 guests. Sandcastle by the Sea sits on a bluff with expansive Gulf views to the South, uniquely juxtaposed with Lake Allen's frontage to the East.

Complementing the unique water views is the expansive outdoor entertainment space that elegantly centers around the private pool and coastal dune lake to create a beautiful oasis for hosting your friends and family. Perfectly outfitted home with 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms for your multi-generational or multi-family vacation!

On the first floor are two guest bedrooms— both are King bedrooms —each offering a private bathroom with a glass-front shower. One of the guest rooms serves as a first-floor master bedroom boasting double doors open to the pool and Spa and an adjacent bunk room with access to the full bath. Perfect for small families that want to stay near each other. The second guest room also has double doors leading to the pool deck for easy access and pairs this with a bathroom ensuite. A spacious game room with a full bar, pool table, and large TV provides your guests with hours of entertainment and fun. The oversized bottle wine cooler and ice maker make this the ideal spot to top off your favorite beach drink or conveniently refill when lying by the pool. This game room invites you in the front door serving as a small taste of what your vacation will hold. The full-sized pool table leads to the incredible lanai and outdoor oasis that boasts a large, private pool (which can be heated seasonally from October to May), a hot tub, a fireplace, a spacious pool deck, and a convenient outdoor kitchen. The Mother-in-law suite sits adjacent to the main house and opens up to the pool deck featuring a King suite with an ensuite bathroom with a separate entry/exit for pool guests.

The second floor presents an open-concept floor plan to combine the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The discreet ceiling details draw the discerning eye and the aged pecky cypress towards the living space while creating a bright and airy ambiance coupled with sweeping views of the emerald coast. The ultimate indoor/outdoor living space awaits you from this floor and includes an East and West balcony, so you never miss a picture-perfect moment. With ample seating on all outdoor terraces, your hardest decision will be finding which spot best suits your mood throughout the day. The gourmet kitchen will delight home cooks and food enthusiasts and boasts premium stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and ample counter and cabinet space. Also on this level is one of the home's master bedrooms. The master features a Lakefront king suite and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The third floor has a living space and contains three of the home's guest rooms with various sleeping options. Guests can choose from two king-bed guest rooms (One with an adjoining single bunk room), private bathrooms, or two sets of twin-over-twin built-in bunk beds plus one bed in the bunk room with an ensuite bathroom. The last bedroom in this incredible home is another lakefront king suite with gulf and lake views featuring a private en suite bathroom. The three levels of the house are accessible through the in-home elevator.
With 4-terrace-style balconies facing South, East, and West, this home ensures you will never miss a sunrise or sunset while on your favorite vacation of the year. It's undeniably one of the most stunning homes along 30-A in Blue Mountain Beach. Boasting three living areas, seven ensuite bedrooms, and two half baths, everyone has a retreat of their own, surrounded by K and J Design Group's elegant coastal decor. From the gourmet kitchen with dual sinks and dishwashers, full gas range, and subzero refrigerator to the open floor plan throughout with exposed beams and cypress ceilings, this home is simply luxurious.

Enjoy your large private heated pool and spa (optional) with a large sun deck and outdoor TV when not at the beach. No overlooked details.

Beautiful home Multiple issues
This was a very challenging week. Upon check in there was trash, empty bottles, and cans in multiple outdoor areas. Three of the 4 lounge chairs by the pool were unusable. The entire seat fabric had pulled away the frame leaving no where to recline and a real eyesore to look at. The most difficult part of this rental was the multiple splinters from the pool deck. There were 9 people affected on 12 different occasions from splinters, mostly in feet but also hands. One child had to get the three splinters in her foot surgically removed on Easter Sunday. She is only 7 and was traumatized. The pool deck is not safe. It needs attention immediately. Upon arrival, the inside was poorly cleaned. Some rugs were not vacuumed, the coffee maker had old water and grounds in it. One room had a fake fingernail on the floor. One room had a false eyelash behind the door. The bunk room sheets had hair and make up on them and filth and stains all around the mattress. There were stray hairs and bodily fluids on at least 2 of the beds downstairs. The dishwasher was broken, the elevator didn’t work nor did the outside fireplace. I rented through Live The Gulf Coast realty Company so I’m not sure why VRBO is asking for a review. I would not rent from this realty company again nor rent a home managed by their property managers. There are multiple pictures and recorded phone calls made to LTGC Realty Co. should you have further questions or concerns. The home was beautiful but the issues many.

Perfect week away
This property was ideal for our large family of 15. The double dishwasher and washer and dryer were so convenient for our family size. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking at home. The abundance of beach chairs and umbrellas were convenient. The beach access was very close to the home. We loved the layout of the home as it provided enough space for everyone.

Perfect property in Santa Rosa Beach
This was our second time staying here. Ron as usual was extremely helpful. He organized a chef for us called Swiftly Catered (who we’re phenomenal, I would highly recommend) We had 14 people staying 6yrs old to 85 years old. This house has the perfect layout, lots of privacy for multiple family members. The views of the lake in the morning are spectacular and being so close to the beach is amazing ! The houses kitchen is so well stocked, the garage is also stocked with beach equipment and toys. I would highly recommend this house, we hope to come back again soon.

Wonderful place to stay
We LOVED this property, from the layout of the house to the location! Everything was amazing! We had breathtaking views from every balcony! We LOVED the pool and hot tub, the kids swam from sun up to well past sundown and having the golf cart and bikes to get around was fantastic! Easy access to the beach was great and having a great restaurant next door was convenient. It’s a quieter neighborhood with so much to do all around you!! Honestly, the house has so many great amenities, it was hard to leave it to explore some days! The house is so spacious, we had 19 people and we all had plenty of room! We can’t wait to go back again! You won’t be disappointed with this property!!

Luxe with hiccups
This is a very nice property with great amenities, but needs a new approach to cleaning and maintenance. Property manager was very nice and accommodating, but we went 8-9 hours with a pretty serious issue with no response from anyone after calling and texting and leaving a message. I will say that the issue was eventually resolved, but not without disrupting our vacation. Again, cleaning and maintenance are not up to par. Some of the Furniture is visibly stained. Layout of the house is great for multiple families. Surroundings are breathtaking. Lots of potential to be a 5 star property.

This is a great property for multiple couples and families. The 6+ bedrooms with king beds and adjoining bunk rooms are perfect. This house has “highend” appliances and plenty of them. The pool/spa with outdoor fireplace is where much time was spent. The Property Management company was very responsive to our questions and requests. We would all recommend this home to others.

Spectacular Views of the lake & sunsets from balcony
This is a stunning property. The layout of the house is amazing, there is so much space. You can easily easily accommodate two families with lots of privacy. The balcony off the main second floor is blissful in the mornings with beautiful views of the lake. This is one of the nicest properties I’ve stayed at and we’ve been all over the world. The location is perfect, the beach is a one minute walk, the house has chairs, toys, carts etc They provide a golf cart but the beach is so close we didn’t need it ! We used it to drive to Seaside for ice cream ! Ron the manager is amazing, he’s very responsive and so nice. He couldn’t do enough for us on our trip. I would highly recommend this house.

Chad's home grown crew!
Beautiful property w/ plenty of room for 20! Teens / young adults had the 3rd floor to themselves. Four adult couples had own master suite and the pool house bungalow might be the best set up for accommodations!! Kitchen is perfect for cooking as a large group gathering and the Dinning setup allowed everyone to sit down together for meals! Close adjacency to beach is perfect for short lawn chair hauls and having the golf cart included in cabin rental is way more than a added value it makes this five STAR PLUS 30-A accommodations worth the spend!! We will be back for sure!

This house was beautiful and perfect for our family vacation! We were 5 families with 10 adults and 7 children. There was more than enough room for everyone in the house to play together as well as have privacy when needed. The kitchen is magnificent with plenty of room for more than one cook.
