So nice and close to the beach

Our stay was great. We got to the hotel before check in and asked if early check in was available. The front desk was so nice about it and our room was ready so we checked in early. Everything was clean and ready to go. The view from our balcony was nice as well. The walk to the beach was so short it truly was so convenient. I fully enjoyed my stay at the Sandcastle hotel.
