The rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff was very nice and helpful. We were able to rent beach chairs, which was an awesome bonus. The property is retro and as advertised. Not fancy and could use some upgrades, but perfect for a budget friendly beach getaway. Great location.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sand Castle. The pool was salt water and very clean. The walk to the beach was short. The location was excellent and in reach of many restaurants and shopping locations. The beds were okay but could use an upgrade. For the price compared to others we really enjoyed our stay.

Clean room, comfortable bed, A/C worked great and clean pool. Parking was hard to get in and out of spaces due to small parking lot and more than a few spaces were marked off with large cones as not useable. My grandchildren and I only stayed one night after a long day at the beach, so it served our purpose and close to Lighthouse Pizza we picked up and Sunrise Restaurant for breakfast buffet the next morning.

The hotel room was fantastically clean. It was a quiet stay. The room was not as outdated as some. Our room did have some broken features, and there was next to no water pressure. It was a fair trade-off for a great price and a great location. I would stay here again.

The room was very clean, staff was very friendly and proficient. Its not a luxury inn, it provides a place to sleep and shower. It needs a little maintenance like shower needed some caulking & sink surface was worn & chipped. Other than that, it was a good place to stay, 3 min walk to the ocean.

We always stay here when we travel to Tybee. We have tried the other hotel behind Tybee (Hotel Tybee) and we prefer Sandcastle Inn much more. It’s an older hotel as they all are there but it is clean and the staff is top notch. They don’t have an elevator so if you require one definitely ask for handicap accessible room. It’s about a 3 min walk to the beach and it’s very conveniently located walking distance to Tybrisa street. They have an outdoor pool that is well kept as well.
