About this property

Sandcastle - Sand City House - Hidden Beach Gem

Nestled at the edge of Seaside in Sand City (population 372), this home rates a major WOW. (Or two or three.) The upper level features a swoon-worthy kitchen, dining for eight, a living room with a large TV and fireplace, a master suite  (with a private bath and walk-in shower), a powder room, laundry, and the piece de resistance: a covered patio with a firepit and a sectional for lounging.  Downstairs, there’s a bedroom/den with a fold-out sofa and a desk, a full bath with a tub/shower, and a guestroom that opens to the backyard (w/dining table, chaises and a barbecue).  From here, you can walk to the local craft brewery or enjoy a slice of pie at Sweet Elena’s bakery—while perusing the fanciful wall murals created by Sand City’s many artists. Ocean lovers will appreciate easy access to the beach via the Tioga Road overpass (approx. seven-minute walk). There’s also a corner playground for the kiddies, and if you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find scores of delis and diners nearby, along with a gamut of international cuisines (Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, German, Italian and more).   Street and driveway parking only. Short term rental permit: STR 22-14

Wonderful Stay at Sandcastle
What a wonderful home!! Super clean, all the kitchen supplies you need, and great location not far from Monterrey. Our family loved the open layout and thought the beds were extremely comfortable. Would stay again in a heartbeat - 5 stars!

Great place to stay at
Really enjoyed our time in this house. We stayed in a few different properties on this trip and this one was by far the best! Plenty of space for 6 people, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms and very clean. It's on a dead end street, so very quiet.

Gorgeous and clean
This is a stunning hike with all the amenities. The only thing it does not have is AC, which is not a big deal because there are many fans through out the house and the area generally stays cool. This home is comfortable, has great decors and in a very safe area. I would definitely recommend

Beautiful place weird spot
The house is beautiful, the beds are amazing- even the pull out bed and couch in the living room. There are wonderful little details of jewelry holders in the bathroom, instructions, shampoo, makeup wash cloth and much more. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is centrally located. The only complaint is the house is in a more commercial/ industrial area. At first we were nervous. There is not a view of the ocean or a great view but otherwise it is seriously adorable .

A few days in Monterey
We had a lovely time at the Sandcastle. The kitchen was fabulously appointed so we could have a few family meals at leisure and then watch movies in the living room all together. The sea breeze was a delight and house as a whole is just beautiful. Would absolutely stay there again.

Great Stay
Our first impression was that it was so clean. Great house for 3 adults, we attended the Carmel Bach festival and loved the rental house. One suggestion would be to instal a window covering in the main bedrooms water closet. Neighbors are very close. We look forward to renting this house again.

Comforts of Home
Staying at the sandcastle was a very lovely experience. The small differences had a great impact on the comfort of our stay - mostly that the places most rentals find to save a nickel were not the case here: kitchen ware you would use in your own kitchen; paper/bath/cleaning products that are effective; fresh linens in ample supply. The location was a great for our sight-seeing base and the home was clean and well appointed. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Stay In Sand City
We stayed at this beautiful home in Sand City. The pictures are great but the house in person is even better. Communication was great. Easy to check in. The house is beautifully decorated and yet very homey as well. We had everything we could have possibly wanted or needed and more. Location was great. Easy to get to many different places of interest. We highly recommend this house!

Perfect stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sandcastle. The house has a great layout for two couples or a family. It was perfectly tidy and clean…well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed some things that the town of Sand City had to offer….but other attractions are only a short drive away. It was an added plus to be able to walk to the beach!! When and if we return to California, we would definitely stay at the Sandcastle again. Michelle was an excellent communicator - thank you!

Sandcastle Sanctuary
Sandcastle is a pristine property. It has a unique floorplan, which allows for views of the surrounding hills, and a glimpse of the ocean. The home is beautifully, and adequately, appointed, and decorated tastefully to reflect the coastal setting. The home is very clean and comfortable. We loved the outdoor deck being able to sit outside and enjoy the weather and chat. No complaints about the home, however while we sat outside both evenings, the next door neighbors were quite obvious in their eavesdropping. It was a little uncomfortable.

4th of July Stay
Beautiful home. Well stocked with anything you might need, especially the kitchen. Very clean. Would stay again. Good location to drive to Monterey, Moss Landing etc. 3rd “bedroom” is actually a pullout sofa not a bed which is a little off putting and the propane tank for the fire pit was empty so the night we wanted to sit on the deck we couldn’t use it unless we wanted to get back out and buy a refill.
