Big Family Fun "Sand Castle" Walk 1/2 a block to Beach, Heated Pool, Ocean Views

Generous house: 8 beds sleeps up to 16 comfortably. Large kitchen & 2nd floor kitchenette. Heated Pool with night light for evening swim. Relaxing pool lanai with ceiling fans, picnic table, sofa & coffee table, and comfortable lounge chairs. Ocean views -- you just walk across the street to the beach.

Big comfortable living room with 70" TV and a view of the heated pool. High speed WiFi. Most bedrooms have TVs with Netflix, Hulu, and other channels. There is a kitchenette on the second floor with full-sized fridge, range-oven, and dishwasher -- allowing for big extended families to spread out and have different family groups preparing meals for their kids, (upstairs, downstairs, etc.). Relax and lounge by the heated pool in a screened pool house: no leaves, no mosquitoes. Enjoy the picnic table in lanai by the pool where the kids can have lunch in the fresh air, or you can catch up on those emails on the super-fast WiFi.

Take a break to rest and recharge by sitting out on the second floor balcony and feel the gentle ocean breezes as you gaze at the ocean in the near distance. If you are a morning person, you can watch the sun rise over the ocean from this balcony, or the second floor: dining area, master bedroom, and kitchenette. There is a back patio on the second floor with a table and chairs to enjoy an outdoor meal or drink. in the evening you can take in colorful sunsets that cast beautiful colors in the sky. And it is peaceful and beautiful at night - watching the stars and feeling the ocean breeze and hearing the leaves rustle as you sit near the top of the grand palm tree nearby.

Take care of your appetite at a great Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood: Little Dos. Enjoy an ice cream treat just around the corner at "The Surfin' Turtle" ice cream shop. Welcome booklet provided with things to do, places to visit and dine.

The "Sand Castle" is a very relaxing setting with the beach a very short walk away, an "oh-so-warm" heated pool and all the creature comforts you could ever need. This is the perfect vacation spot for your big family fun -- stay here to have the vacation of a lifetime. Relax and let the whole family have fun as they enjoy the sun, sand, and waves -- at the "Sand Castle."

The pool was perfect for our grandchildren. They spent alot of time in it. The landscape and grounds were immaculately kept. The kitchen extremely well furnished. The proximity to the beach was perfect.The owner, Richard, was easy to deal with and answered questions prior to our arrival promptly. We all had a great time.

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 family vacation
This house is great for large extended family gatherings. We loved the large table for meals together and the large sectional sofa. We spent so much time in the pool too. The house is close to the beach but the road was a little busy to get the little ones across. The wagon we brought helped with that. The owner was fantastic with correspondence and very accommodating! We had a wonderful week together!

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.

Needs a deep cleaning
While some updates have been made, there’s quite a few areas that need some attention. The air vent (ceiling) in the kitchen/dining area is filthy. The bathrooms are in serious need of updating. 1 of the sinks leaks. It wasn’t clear from the listing that the upstairs area is separate & could potentially be rented by a different group at the same time. The location is not the greatest. Having said all that, the owner was very responsive & helpful. The pool was great!

40th Birthday trip
We had 11 of us stay at the house and it never felt like there were 11 of us. The house was a great set up and awesome location! We had ages from 70 years old to 5 years old. Everyone had someone to do. The Property owner was incredibly responsive. If we had any questions, we would message through the app and within seconds we had a response. It was THE best vacation!! We went to Universal and Kennedy Space Center during the trip. We are all talking about doing the trip again and hopefully this location will be available again because it was perfect. Definitely felt like home away from home. Thank you Richard for providing such a wonderful place for my family to enjoy sometime together.!

Fabulous location! Responsive host
This home was the perfect place to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday! Twelve family members easily accommodated with the perfect living room and dining area for a large gathering. The heated pool was a great area for a family hang out at after a busy day. The location is close to the beach with easy access to nearby attractions and activities. Definitely recommend this home. Our only concern was with cleanliness . While bathrooms and the kitchen were cleaned well, some other areas needed closer attention. The bedding was questionable so we washed prior to use. Concerns about the ability to keep the house clean during the stay ( a week long with two crawling infants) with just a broom and dustpan was quickly addressed by the host. My family had a wonderful week and really enjoyed our stay at this property

Satellite Beach House
The satellite beach house was very nice and big for our family of 12 and there was enough room for all of us. We all absolutely loved the pool and even though the weather was a little cold, the pool was nice and warm so we were able to continue to have a lot of fun! The only thing we did not like about the location of this house is the description of the beach being right across the road does not disclose how busy that road was. Yes the beach is right across the road, however, that road was an extremely busy road to cross which was extremely difficult to do with the young children we had. Other then the busy road we absolutely loved everything else! Richard was very quick to respond with anything we needed and very attentive! Thank you Richard! We loved the house and pool, we loved the private beach, and we loved swimming in the ocean. There were also convenient stores and restaurants close by! We would book this house and location again in the future! Thank you for letting us stay!

Great location!
We had a great vacation! The location of this house is great! It is close to the beach and within walking distance of some stores and restaurants. We feel this would be a perfect vacation spot had the house been clean. All sheets and blankets had to be washed by us upon noticing they were not clean. Beds, floors, carpets, and tables had visible crumbs and spots and appear to have not been wiped down between guests. Laundry room and pool area dirty. Pool was cloudy and many bugs floating in water. Trash, seaweed, and sand still all around from last guest. Website proclaims at least 24 hours between guests, this was not the case as guests left that morning. We felt this house would be a great vacation spot had it been cleaned and taken care of. *From a business stand point: throw away and replace- stained sheets, towels, & blankets (no one wants to sleep/use something with gross stains on it), pool area- throw away pool accessories that are gross chewed up over used and falling apart, laundry room- gross (sand every where, trash, unorganized and just disgusting) change the doors on the washer and dryer- they are movable- doing any laundry in there is ridiculous the doors are backwards, bathrooms- need new shower curtains they are moldy, no hand soap we had to go buy some, all surfaces should be wiped with disinfectant / bleach between guests- multiple places you could see were not wiped down at all between guests

Perfect Home for a Large Family Vacation
We just returned from a wonderful family vacation at the Sand Castle. We had a group of 15 people, ranging in age from 9 months to 66. Was nice to have a high chair provided for the baby. The home is spacious, and the furniture and beds were comfortable. Lower level: 1 King, 1 Queen, Bunk room, a pullout sofa in the living room, 2 bathrooms with showers. Upper level: 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 full bath, a pullout sofa, and a kitchenette! We never felt cramped. Plenty of room to spread out and also spaces for privacy. We especially appreciated having a very large dining room table on the lower level for big family meals and used the dining room table on the upper level to do a large crossword puzzle. It was great having two refrigerators on the property. The TVs all had Netflix, etc. We loved the furniture and that there are two desks on the property for people who needed to do a little work while on vacation. WiFi was fast! The kitchen is extremely well stocked. We never ran out of silverware or plates, glasses, plenty of pots and pans, knives, etc. The highlight for us was the screened-in saltwater pool -- large enough for the whole group to have fun. Pool toys were provided. Six beach towels were provided, but we had local family bring more beach towels as we were all swimming and needed more than six. We used the gas grill and played card games on the picnic table next to the pool. We also enjoyed the Mexican restaurant and ice cream stand just across the street. Publix is close and Costco is just 15 min away. The beach is a short walk from the front door. Crossing A1A was not a problem. I had to contact the host, Richard, for a small issue with the upstairs toilet, and he sent someone out the next morning. The host is very responsive and wants everyone to have a 5-star experience, and we did! Thank you for sharing your home with us, Richard. We will be back!

Great for a large Group
This was perfect for a large family beach vacation, with 6 adults and 5 children, ages 3 to 12. The house was clean, well provisioned, with plenty of storage and the furniture was comfortable and very kid friendly! The huge dining table easily accommodated all of us which I loved. All appliances worked as they should and we had no issues with anything during our week stay. The beach access is great and the beach itself was not at all crowded. Crossing A1A to reach the beach poised no problem, but if you are afraid to cross without a light, it is a short walk (guesstimate = about 2 blocks)to a proper pedestrian crossing. We thoroughly enjoyed the large pool after each day at the beach. And, we were able to view 2 rocket launches clearly from the beach which thrilled my grandkids. I highly recommend this property for a wonderful beach vacation
