Sand Castle: Family Fun-Walk to Beach, Heated Pool

BIG BEACH HOUSE-Great for a large family group: 8 beds sleeps up to 16 comfortably. 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 2 dining areas. Heated Pool with night light. 2-minute walk across the street to the beach. From the balcony view: ocean & sunrise. Most bedrooms & living rooms have TVs w/Netflix, Hulu & BluRay players. Super-fast WiFi. Picnic table & luxurious chairs in lanai by the pool. Welcome booklet lists things to do, places to visit, and great local restaurants. Stay here to relax & have fun!

This beach house is clean, bright, and spacious. There is room for everyone. Heated Pool has many comfortable chairs to lounge on. The pool lanai is a great gathering place for lunch in the fresh air. Close to a neighborhood favorite Mexican restaurant Little Dos & `The Surfin` Turtle` ice cream shop.

You have full access to all parts of the 2-story house. There are several additional spaces to park in the driveway. Private heated pool in screened-in pool house. Beach is a 2 minute walk. Ice cream shop is a 3 minute walk. On site free laundry.

I have a small army of local helpers to make sure your stay comfortable, relaxing and fun. I am also available by phone, email, and text.

The neighborhood is quiet and clean. Very near the beach and conveniences like grocery, coffee shops, and the movies. You are also a 2 minute drive from a nice, large public park on the beach (Pelican Park). This is a great place for sheltered areas at the beach to have a picnic lunch, outdoor shower, and other amenities.

Excellent Vacation

The house is exactly what we were looking for, close to the beach and had a great restaurant next door. Beach was very rocky, but we were able to walk down a little and find a spot we could swim. House accommodated our three families only downside was the need to move vehicles as they only wanted two in the driveway, and it was difficult to get bigger vehicles in the small garage.

Sand Castle Satellite Beach

Great place for a larger group. Extremely comfortable beds & well stocked kitchens. Nice bar/restaurant right across the street. My only concern with the location, is the huge rocks & boulders in the surf at the beach area, but the home was perfect for us (9 people). The host is very responsive. We had a fantastic time!

This Is A Beach House

My wife and I have been visiting Atlantic beaches and their houses since at least as far back as 1966 including the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Today, at an age of higher expectations, we expect a good beach house to have the usual amenities of clothes washer/drier, dish washer, multiple TV’s, WiFi, and comfortable bedding. This home had them all and performed well. While there is nothing wrong with a beach home looking to be a story for Southern Beach Home, a good beach home to me should be livable for its setting, that is: beach sand happens, sea shells sometimes appear in unexpected places, furniture is used, but stands up to occasional hard use. We met our host, Richard, at our check-in as he was finishing up a little last minute lawn mowing. He was as amiable and cooperative in person as he had been during our VRBO messaging. Lastly, this home was a slam dunk for it’s location with a short walk to the beach, a short drive to a Publix grocery, and many options for fishing, bird watching, and beach combing. Oh, and have I mentioned the satellite launches and museums to document the nation’s space program. You can’t miss with this genuine Beach House.

Fun week in Satellite Beach

This property worked out very well for our extended family visit of 10 adults and 6 kids. The pool was a hit, as was the close proximity of the beach. There were enough bedrooms for every family to have their own, and the washer and dryer was also much appreciated.

Perfect

We had a great experience with this property for an impromptu trip to the beach. The owner was very accommodating and responsive and the location was so convenient. The beach was so beautiful. The Mexican restaurant right across the street was delicious and the ice cream shop down the road perfect as well. We had a great experience.

The Mexican restaurant across the street is fabulous and the ice cream shop a hit with the kids! All in all a perfect spot for a family getaway at the beach! We would definitely come again! Also a plus that you can rent the top or bottom separately for smaller groups.

Family vacation

We had a great time during our stay in Satellite Beach. The house had plenty of room for our whole family. The pool was great and we spent many hours playing in it. The beach is a short walk away. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend much time at the beach due to the amount of seaweed. So, we were even more thankful to have a pool. We would definitely stay here again, and are planning to next year.

Great house for large family. Family and dining area open and spacious. Close to the beach, great pool and pool area. Close to Cocoa beach, and all your basic needs are within a few minutes, (publix, ABC liquors, CVS, Walmart, Ice Cream Shop, etc.) Lots of local places to eat. House manager was very engaged, checking in several times throughout the week. We had an awesome week of family bonding! You wont be disappointed.

Great experience

The property was very nice, and right across the street from a great beach. If you're lugging a bunch of beach gear, there are a couple of very close parking areas with ramp access to the beach. Great restaurants nearby, and if you like Mexican food there's a restaurant that you'll be surprised how quickly you can get there. If I go back to Satellite Beach, I would 100% go back to this house. Thanks Richard for everything.

Amazing house for my large family

This house was perfect for my family's needs. We had our family reunion here and we all (16 of us) had plenty of space to not feel cramped. We couldn't have asked for a better. The pool was a huge hit especially among the kids and only being a block from the beach was so nice. The owner of the property was very timely in all his communication and super accommodating. My whole family said this was such a great find and that they would all come back if we decided to vacation in Florida again for our reunions.

Return visit was GREAT!

My family liked this property so much at the beginning of our trip to Florida that we did some reshuffling of our itinerary so that we could return and end our vacation on a high note. The effort was worth it as we were able to see dolphins frolicking in the surf when we walked across the street to see the amazing sunrise (the Florida sunrise over the ocean is an absolute MUST-SEE). We have reached out to our best friends and hope to arrange another visit to this property with them this upcoming summer. I think it will be perfect for both of our families and will comfortably accommodate all 16 of us. Looking forward to it!

A Plus

We rented this house for the month of March for a multigenerational family. Everything was as the pictures showed and was very clean when we arrived. Richard was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and quick to respond. There were new linens and plenty of towels and beach towels. Having the washer and dryer was very helpful. The kitchen table was huge; we could all sit down together for meals. Because we were a large group, having the second kitchen upstairs was a bonus. Very close to the beach and we loved the little Mexican restaurant across the street. We had a lovely time. Thank you Richard.
