The property is definitely at a good location, 3 min walk from beach. The staff seemed okay. They charged me extra and no one is resolving the issue. Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend anyone who is okay with getting charged extra for no good reason. Apparently, The property manager is never on property and is the only person who can resolve the issue with charges.

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.

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 The room was not as outdated as some.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.

Parking is very tight fitting. Ice maker for back rooms doesn’t work have go to front of building to get ice. Toilet made loud running sound when other rooms used theirs. But was close to Shops and Beach. Would stay again. Just needs a little attention to some things.

Pro's: okay price compaired to nearby competitors, location was nice and close to the beach without needing to cross a mainroad, staff were friendly and parking lot felt safe, had a microwave and fridge, room smelled okay, was across the street from a cute dog friendly restaurant <3 Potential areas of improvement: AC unit kept shutting off and the room got hot overnight, bathrooms are incredibly small- may want to be cautious if traveling with burly gentlemen
