Villa Sandcastle

The private beach, clear water, and Sandcastle Villa and Beach House all went beyond what we expected. After visiting Antigua the year before, we assumed the nearby islands might offer a similar experience, but this was a wonderful surprise. The property was kept immaculate inside and out, and the staff were exceptional throughout our stay. Our family has found a new definition of paradise, although we already miss Mercedes. We usually like visiting somewhere new, but this is one place that truly deserves a return trip, and we're eager to start planning it.

Our group of 10 had a fantastic time in these beautiful homes, which sit right beside what feels like a private beach. The children were never bored with the pool, hot tub, ocean kayaks, bean bags, volleyball, and soccer nets. The on-site staff were outstanding and looked after every detail. One extra recommendation, book Chef Lee. We hired him twice, and those were the best meals we had in Anguilla.

The pool, hot tub, private beach, and sunsets made our family stay at sand castle so enjoyable. The service was impeccable, and the chef prepared five-star restaurant-style meals for us every time. We had a wonderful visit and will definitely return to this villa.

The house gave everyone enough private space, which made coming together as a group feel easy and relaxing. It was beautifully furnished, the bedsheets and towels were wonderful, and we especially liked the living room, patio chairs, and swinging day bed. A lot of thoughtful details made the stay comfortable, including the pool fence, playground, beautiful kitchen, direct beach access, Apple TV’s in every room, the iMac and printer in the bedroom, and even the use of a car. The property felt carefully planned for families. The staff were the real highlight. Our concierge helped enormously before we arrived, especially because we were traveling with a 1 year old baby and a 3 year old little girl during Covid. She handled equipment rentals, restaurant bookings, a private chef, a babysitter, groceries, and the confusing Anguilla entrance forms. She was on top of everything. The head housekeeper made the trip feel extra special. She cooked lunches, baked, and even made pina coladas. Her assistant was lovely too, and the house man was very helpful. We were encouraged to see more of the island, but honestly, none of us felt the need to go anywhere. We already had paradise right there. We really didn't want to leave and hope to come back.
