Quiet getaway
My girlfriend, dog and I were just looking for a quiet place where we could take the dog for walks on the beach and have a bonfire at night and this place is perfect for that type of stay.

A Little Slice of Heaven
We’ve just left from our second stay at The Sand Castle, and was just as wonderful as our first stay! Clean, comfortable, and an incredibly friendly small community! It’s got a fishing community vibe, and the residents are super friendly. We spent most of our nights cooking a nice dinner and walking to the beach to see the fabulous sunsets! If you’re looking for nightlife, this is not the place for you! If you want a small relaxing laid back vibe, it is the place for you!

Very cute and comfortable cottage! We enjoyed our stay and appreciated all of the extras like keurig pods, shampoo, etc. We also enjoyed the one restaurant in town, the Charlesworth, with its delightful owner and excellent seafood, and walking on the beach with horseshoe crabs. We look forward to a future visit.

Great place to stay
My family had a great stay here! The property is clean and well cared for. The kitchen sink has minor slow drain problem, but it's being addressed. The house is tidy and cozy. The hosts were exceptionally helpful and go out of their way for their guests. We would stay here again.

We had a great time at the property! Quiet beach location. Love the bay. We fished off the beach and caught all sorts of fish! The sunsets are beautiful. Owner was easy to communicate with and how was very comfortable. Hope to return soon.

It was the perfect size for me and the dogs. We were coming back to see family and just needed a clean, local spot to spend nights. This was perfect and I'll definitely book again when visiting in the future.

Happy to have discovered 4TSQ
The house was sparkling clean and decorated so nicely. Check-in/out was a breeze. We loved that the property was dog friendly. The bay beach is walkable and sunsets from the docks were amazing! We found sea glass and my husband caught his biggest striped bass ever. The Sea Chest shop in town had lots of unique items and we picked up stickers, t-shirts and can koozies at Higbee’s Marina. We dined in each night but hope to check out the Charlesworth Restaurant in town on our next visit. A special thanks to the neighbors for making us feel right at home.

Amazing Cozy Home
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well maintained. Lots of information about local spots and a sweet welcome letter from the hosts. Our pup loved running in the sand and walking along the water. Everyone we met was extremely friendly. It was perfect for our needs and we will stay again!

The Sand Castle
This property was amazing in every way! It was my husband and myself for half of the time, and our daughter and her fiancé for a couple of nights. It was cozy, comfortable and clean. The sunsets on the Delaware Bay were the most beautiful I have ever seen! In the past, we have always gone to Wildwood Crest, but I wanted to try something new. It was great! We did drive to Wildwood to go to the beach because we really like the beach there. If you’re looking fir the Wildwood atmosphere, this is not the place for you. If you want to be in a calm and peaceful environment this IS the place for you! We encountered many friendly people and always felt safe. Ken and Suzanne left water, beer and coffee for us to enjoy. If we had any questions they were easily reached and helped with whatever we needed. If you do rent this adorable little place, you will not be disappointed!

Best Kept Secret Down The Shore Beach!
We had a lovely stay at the Sandcastle for a little birthday weekend retreat. The house was so nicely made up for our stay with everything we - and our dog - needed. The pull out couch and crisp AC kept us cozy during the rain while the beach and marina gave us lots to explore in the sun. Feels like we discovered a special secret town with this sweet house and can’t wait to go back for a longer stay next time!
