Sandcastle Noord Aruba

Great property to stay at. We really spent most of our time in the outdoor space. Pool, hot tub, 2 grills, pizza oven and tiki bar, why wouldn't you be there enjoying the sun. The inside was clean and spacious and has everything you need to feel at home. With in walking distance to Superfoods (for supplies and groceries) and the fofoti trees on Eagle beach. They were kind enough to leave is a bottle of wine and the material to make 2 pizzas as a welcoming gift. Thanks Gail. You have a great property!.

Sandcastle....

The home was delightful. Very clean and as described. The only reason it did not get all 5 Stars was the contact number for the on site person was incorrect but the owner is now aware of that. I would not hesitate to rent this again or recommend it to others.

Sandcastle

We have stayed here before so we knew what to expect for the most part. Julie the property manager was excellent and Gail and Richard are wonderful people they even came and brought us a crockpot!! The house is an older home which meant there were a few hiccups with things however they were promptly dealt with and the price I this place gives you so much bang for the buck (we are Canadian lol). Thank so much Gail, Eichard and Julie for filling my bucket once again

Awesome house! A little dated. Needs a few upgrades but overall location and house was great!

Had a few problems with the door locks…. Got locked out of one of the rooms. Mgmt company was a little slow in responding the next day. No toilet plunger on site. Beach cooler was locked in garage. Mgmt company had to come. Some of the Pool furniture outside needs to be replaced. Great location!!!! Love love Aruba!!

Great Spot, Out of the Way

Our stay was quite nice, and we enjoyed what amenities were offered. Especially the hot tub. There were some issues with drainage in one of the showers, but otherwise all amenities were in good shape. I recommend you rent a car as we did to get around!

disappointment

our stay was very disappointing. everything in the house is broken or poorly maintained. the jacuzzi head rests the sticky, the tiki bar has 2 bar stools there are 4 in the garbage. the curtains regularly fall, rod and all. a vacuum cleaner that doesn't work… an outdoor seating area that has had its day…. bbq that is too dirty to use. Too bad this house is still rented

Sand Castle Review

My family of 12, including my husband, 4 kids and 6 grandchildren stayed at Sandcastle for 8 nights. It was wonderful. The kids loved the pool. The property manager was super responsive and easy to work with, the owner was very responsive through the reservation process and questions. Highly recommend this property!

Retirement celebration

Our week at Sandcastle was wonderful. So close to the best beach I’ve ever been to (Eagle Beach). It was great to relax with morning coffee poolside, cook together in the spacious kitchen/dining room and gather for games or TV late into the evening. The Island itself offers more than you can possible do in one short week. I highly recommend it!

Three stars

The property was located in an alley, there was a large dog next door that barked every night, which disturbed my rest & neighbor never tried to calm it. The shower didn't drain well in the bathrooms, I didn't have a bathroom light in the fish room until the last night of my stay, we could not use the hot tub due to a maintenance issue, which I was told I needed to repair, ( not my home nor should it have been my problem to fix) other than these issues the home was as advertised, I wish the advertisement explained in better detail as far as the price for all six bedrooms, gail did clarify afterwards. Julie the house host, was pleasant & accommodating

Great Girls Trip

I asked for input from the ladies on the trip, and all I got was praise. Originally I thought I would hear at least 1 negative comment........but NO. So I'm going to try and get this all correct: House was wonderful - loved it. Loved the house and pool and the caretaker was wonderful. It was perfect for us. Julie was great, got everything fixed fast. All I have to add is that there were very few things not perfect, but anything that wasn't Julie handled quickly. This was a wonderful trip, house and I highly recommend Aruba everyone. The people are the friendliest we have encountered in our travels; helpful, patient, kind.

Amazing Family Vacation Spot

The house was perfect for our group. We had four adults, five children between 2 and 10 and a teenager. Everyone loved it and there was plenty of room! The casino functioned great as a home office for me when needed and the in-law apartment was the perfect escape for a 17 year old! It was close to everything we needed! We plan to visit again!

Great Experience from Beginning to End

Very nice accommodations and location.....close to supermarket, restaurants and various AAA beaches. This was a family trip in the making for many months (year) due to Covid. The Sandcastle fit the bill perfectly......enough bedrooms to handle our family along with spacious lounging areas both inside and poolside. Great Bar and BBQ setup for our nighttime dinner preparations. Communication with Gail (Host) and property manager (Julie) was excellent....very quick to respond and address questions/concerns. We will definitely be back to the sandcastle with our future visits to Aruba.....One Happy Island!!........One Happy Vacation!!

About the host

Hosted by Gail Childress

we (Richard and Gail Childress) are married since 1976, we love hiking, sailing,
and outback riding. Aruba has all this and more. this is why we bought this house.
the people are so nice and family oriented. everyone is so mannered and respectable to all vistors.

Why they chose this property

this property for the location and amenities. this quiet home , but so close to all
the action of the high rise. trade winds always blowing . this is because the way
this home is situated on the land. You can walk the neighborhood safely . and
you can also walk to the largest and newest food store on the island. you
never want to leave this wonderful retreat.

What makes this property unique

Cool down in your private pool .The tiki bar has a ice maker , fridge. and a sink. there is a charcoal grill and an electric grill, this is your choice. You also have a two burner grill for those large pots, like having a seafood boil. The list goes on. and the big plus is you are soooo close to all the night life and sights that Aruba has to offer!!!!!. Location Location Location!!!!!!!!
