Castle in the Sand is a spacious 7 bedroom oceanfront home with 7 en suite baths and a hallway half-bath spread over two floors, that provided ample space for our 14-member family, ranging from 6 to 67 years of age. Everyone had space but could easily congregate for dinners and family time. We enjoyed ocean views from most bedrooms , the kitchen, living room and dining area, which made each day a pure pleasure. You could see the moon on the ocean most nights and sunrise over the ocean every morning, not to mention dolphins playing off shore each day. A gourmet kitchen with two ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers and a large under-cabinet ice-maker made family dinners and entertaining a breeze. There was also a refrigerator and small sink in the game-room, which had a large screen TV, a pool table, an arcade game and multiple movie chair recliners. Outside was a pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, shower, bathroom and grill, along with our private boardwalk to the beach. Beach Realty staff were very accessible and helpful. If we had a need, they responded quickly and were very friendly. In addition to enjoying the beach and pool, our family sand-surfed, saw the wild horses of Corolla, flew kites on the beach, enjoyed an escape-room adventure and explored nature walks and shops in nearby Duck, Kitty Hawk and Nags Head, not to mention a round of golf at a links course. Overall, Castle in the Sand was a perfect family oceanfront vacation spot, and we thoroughly enjoyed it!
