So, I am now home in Maine after our 3rd 10 day stay at Sandcastle and am trying to decide if I want to write another review. I kind of feel like I want to keep all the information to myself so that its kept just the way it is but that's not really fair. We traveled from Maine to... more

A beautiful facility in a beautiful location. The Soggy Dollar and the beach are busy in the afternoons (weekends especially), but before 1 and after 5 or 6, you (and the half dozen other hotel guests are the only ones there. The room was spotless, tv-less, radio-less and phone-less (the AT&T cell service on the beach is excellent, thanks to... more

My wife and I have stayed at Sandcastle several times. The owners and service personnel have always been very courteous and provided excellent service. We had a wonderful time. You can read other reviews for all the amenities but there are some things potential guests may want to know. If this is your first trip to Jost van Dyke pay... more

"First one up and about turns on the coffee." Mornings at Sancastle on White Bay are so incredibly serene. Twenty steps to the beach...grab your chair for the day...get some coffee and soak it all in. Gently lapping waves...perfect white sand beach...a few overnight sailboats bobbing in the bay...St John in the distance. Breakfast with the other 10 guests (who... more

I am leary to write too much, as I am afraid too many people will swamp this place. There are only 5 rooms, and they are booked up in advance. I loved it here. The rooms are off the beach along a sandy path. A little tray of water sits outside your room to wash your feet in before you... more

This was our 4th year staying at Sandcastle. We feel like we are coming home when we plan our trip each year. Sandy and Roger make sure that you are welcomed at the dock, then you are taken to a little piece of paradise. Each cottage is so close to the water that the open air cottage lets you hear... more

We first visited the Sandcastle in 2003, it was awesome. The owners at the time were amazing, friendly, accomodating. The food was great and the staff pretty good. This most recent trip was quite different. I got the distinct feeling we were not wanted, a bother. The new managers don't seem to care about their guests at all, they are... more

Let me first start by saying that I will continue to travel to Jost Van Dyke but I will NEVER stay at Sandcastle again. This was the 6th time my husband and I have been to Jost Van Dyke. We have stayed at the Sandcastle before with the old owners and have enjoyed ourselves tremendously. But the new managers are... more

Perhaps I anticipated a little too much after reading the other reviews on this site, but I expected really good things from the Sandcastle Hotel. Unfortunately, great things were not delivered. Yes, the beach is really great. The water is clear and warm and great for swimming and relaxing--just not from about 11 or twelve in the afternoon until the... more
