Well Cared For
We stayed for a week with friends we only see once a year. We all loved this house. It was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and could have wanted..(pots, pans, skillets, baking sheets, crockpots..). The upstairs was very spacious, and the views were beautiful. The details that went into decorating the house shows how much the owner cares for the property. Perfect location with so many fun attractions close by. We hope to stay again.

Great family vacation
Trish’s Castle in the sand was exactly as described. Peak-a-boo ocean views, narrow beach trail access across the street! Use caution when walking trail to beach the sand got extremely HOT! Even with flip flops on! The home is updated, plenty of kitchen appliances, room for everyone upstairs due to open concept floor plan!

Family Time
The property was perfect! So comfortable and cute. It was perfect for our family. Cove Realty who represents the property did a great job communicating. The only thing we would have loved was a gas barbecue grill. Thank you for an amazing week.

Fall vacation
The home was spacious, the beds were comfortable, showers were great. The upstairs was spacious and lots of room to cook and relax and watch TV. We loved the top deck where you could see the ocean and watch the traffic go by. We saw some awesome sunrises in the mornings too. Overall we loved the house and location was close to the beach. Perfect vacation!

Perfect Beach Getaway
We stayed at the castle in the sand with 6 people (ages 25-35) and had a wonderful time. The property was perfect for our group. We did not utilize the room with the pyramid beds, so we would have been comfortable with 2 more adults. The property was well cleaned and free of any clutter from past guests. In the kitchen we found the essentials; pots, pans, plates and silverware. Check in was a breeze and check out required only a phone call. The location is perfect with beach access through a well traveled sand path across the street. It is a quiet stretch of beach allowing us to get several yards of beach in all directions. The house is walking distance to coffee shops and ice cream. Restaurants are only a short drive away and ~10mins to restaurants on the sound. Overall a wonderful stay and we would certainly book this house or with cove realty in the future!

Great beach house
We enjoyed our stay at Second Dream. Everything was as described, and in many cases better than expected. We appreciated the use of all kinds of beach equipment, especially the beach cart. There is a path to the beach almost directly across the street, so it was not necessary to walk all the way down to the official public access. We will most likely stay again in the future.

We enjoyed this house very much. The very spacious living room and dining area were utilized all the time. And very close beach access was a plus as well. We had no issues. Everything was in order when we arrived and it was a wonderful vacation.
