Best Review Ever

Sandcastle in the Sun has the warmest, most loving feeling of any place I have ever been; whether living there or vacationing there.  The delight of having 100' of private beach to allow friend's children or grandchildren to enjoy safely is a benefit that can be measured.  If children or grandchildren are visiting, having the public beach park next door brings smiles to everyone's face.  A playground, large deck area, very large sandy beach, and a cafe with food that is hard to beat (especially, when the last thing you want to do is cook).

To know that after I have passed the intersection of Hwy 50 and 19, I am heading to a secluded, tranquil home with views from almost every place outside the cottage and inside from almost every room, a calmness fills me.  I love the reality that after a busy day among the hustle and bustle of traffic and people, paradise on earth is waiting for me makes everything so much easier to deal with.

A new appreciation of the gift that being at the cottage, we called Sandcastle on the Sun, has now become part of me.  If I ever forget that feeling, I only need to go back and read the guest book of such wonderful comments left by guests who were given the chance of staying at our cottage; and, as they say, have taken memories back with them that will last a long time - weddings, honeymoons, engagements, reunions, retreats for long time friends, family vacations and more.

The sunsets that I post on my Sandcastle in the Sun page will be, once again, showing the beauty of the Master's Touch so different every night that I am blessed with getting to enjoy and have a page to go back and treasure them.  I will always keep the page available to any who also want that chance to enjoy the moments, even though, Facebook will only reveal the new postings to about 7% of those who "like" your page unless you make a point of checking out the page for yourself because they want you to pay to get people to your page.  As I found out, that is why so many pages have thousands of "likes"; they have paid for them.

Until the end of May, when my husband and I have once again moved back HOME, I will not be posting any sunsets because there are not enough nights we can even be in our own home to post NEW sunsets. Starting in June, sunset photos that are posted will be new ones happening that night.  My camera will once again have its spot on the corner of our entertainment center ready should an amazing sight appear that I might miss searching for my camera.  You are welcome to continue to like my page or drop it, for me the reason behind my evening beginning this page will be back and I will be back where I belong; with my husband in our real home.  

Thank you all.    Sunsets - link to my Facebook page that will start to change again in June.

Magical Place

This house will offer any guest EVERYTHING they could have or could have not thought of. Becky made sure we were taken care from the day we made the booking for the house and was extremely helpful through the entire process. They have thought of everything! If you come here and don't have fun, well... everything about this house is great! There is a little bit of everything for everyone: quiet places to read and relax (multiple decks to sit and enjoy the sunset and the scenery), the beach is literally right next door, it is very quiet and everywhere you turn you'll find friendly people willing to help you. 100% recommended if you are taking the time to read this review. It was awesome!  We created the heart in our private beach and started the new chapter in our lives in it!!!
