This is a privately owned resort, therefore it is the only resort in ocean city that has a private beach. We love lounging by the ocean and having waitress service! You can order delicious cocktails or food from their outdoor grill and have it delivered to your beach chair. We have stayed in the north suites and the south suites.... More

My friends and I stayed here for a bachelorette party in September of 2011. There were about 12 girls and we rented three rooms. The rooms were spacious and all three of ours were identical which was great. There was a door to the outside that had chairs that were right on sand and the beach was steps away. Sadly... More

First of all, anything and everything you do is being watched at every moment by the owner that lives next door. I can live with that as we are good and respectful tenants. The wost part of this property is bag worms. You heard me, bag worms. Google them. They are everywhere. They are disgusting and ruined our vacation. I... More

went out on a limb and tried a new place this year and am never going anywhere else, the castle has EVERYTHING! I was constantly impressed, everyone was so helpful from check in to check out. I could relax without worry because the kids were mesmerized all day by Sunshine, a professional children's activities entertainer. She did everything, message in... More

We stayed here for a weekend in Oct. 2011. Good central location, and the beach was in great shape. We stayed in the Waverly Tower with the ocean views. The room was suprising spacious. The mini kitchen was adequate for breakfast and lunch. The place was clean but dated. There were 4 pillows on each bed. Parking was good and... More

The place is dated but was spacious and clean.Kitchen utensils were more than adequate. Plus being off season we got a fantastic price for the week and the... More

We have been going to Castle in the Sand for the last 8 years. We love the place so much. My only complaint is this past summer when it was happy hour at Coconuts the outside bar and it was almost impossible to get off the beach through the mounds of people at the outside bar. We were knocking into... More
