4 nights of bliss

We spent 4 nights here in March 2025. The view was spectacular and the condo had everything we needed and more. This will be our “go to” home away from home for beach trips. Absolutely loved the owners and enjoyed every aspect of spring break!

Family and friend vacation!

Condo was very clean and spacious! It was perfect for our group of 2 families. Easy check-in process and the property managers were very pleasant when we had questions. This was our second time to stay at Castaways and has become our favorite place to stay so far!

Great place

We loved the layout of the place and easy access to the beach. Elevators are a little slow and parking was limited but we never moved our car so it was fine for us. Might be tricky in the busier months. We had some gorgeous sunsets! Overall great stay!

Anniversary/Birthday Celebration

Our stay at the Castaways was nice, location was a lil uneasy to find and the only down fall to our stay was the balcony. It was very small- not intended for a large group-not spacious. We had a nice little happy waiting for us. Overall it was a nice stay.
