Great historic place. You cannot beat the innkeeper Carlene. Not only do you get a wonderful breakfast, but yummies throughout the day.....and wonderful conversation, too! Location is perfect, too! We walked to town easily and we're old! Loved walking to the beach - about a block away. I think it's great, too, that this property has a nice pool. So... More

The main reason we chose to stay at the Sandle Castle Inn was for its great location. It was less than a 3 min. walk to beautiful North beach and a 10 min. walk to the downtown touristy/ restaurant area, whereas the chain hotels are located far from everything. We stayed in the Garden Room for a short one night... More

Our knitting group has rented this place for the last three years. It is perfect for us. We love the location. We each have our own room. Carlene the innkeeper makes a wonderful breakfast in the morning and hot appetizers in the evening. You can walk the beach or walk into town from here.

We spent a wonderful 3 night weekend at the Sand Castle in mid-October 2012. Everything about the Sand Castle was perfect and Carlina was an Outstanding cook and hostess! It was a great experience for us. We will be back again, and have already recommended the Sand Castle to several people.

We went here for a short couple's getaway! What a great time! The Sandcastle Inn was within walking distance to the downtown area of South Haven with great restaurants and bars.Also down the street from the beach! We had a room with a patio, which was great in September when we visited. The pool was small yet very warm and... More

The Sand Castle Inn was the first bed and breakfast stay for my girlfriend and I. All of the rooms were very clean and the breakfast provided was always tasty. This B&B from what I gathered from the other guests isn't a traditional B&B with the innkeepers living on the premises. I would definitely recommend staying here, the location can... More

We stayed in the Crown Room and the weekend of our stay was an important reprieve from a very stressful month at work. Kind of a last minute decision to get away, this inn gave us what we needed. Being mid October, the weather was cool but sunny and the glass panels on the front porch was richly warm and... More

My husband and I stayed at the Sand Castle Inn for a birthday weekend. We were in the Tower Suite and loved it. Very spacious, huge bathroom (but small shower), deck, cozy fireplace, and nice furniture. There was a vaulted ceiling which made the room feel even bigger. It was completely private as we were the only room on the... More

I booked a room at the Sand Castle Inn just a couple of days before our weekend getaway. I researched quite a few BnBs in South Haven and I'm glad I stayed with Sand Castle. The location is fantastic, only a block from the beach. We stayed in the Garden Room, which was clean, good-sized, and very comfortable. The staff... More

I took a friend to The Sand Castle Inn to celebrate her 50th birthday. We stayed in the Tower Room. We were more than pleased with our stay. The Innkeeper and her staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. We arrived early and although our room was not yet ready, they gave us our parking pass and directions... More
