Great location in a calm but fun beach town
We loved our stay at Ellen and Jim’s home. We were able to gather at the end of a long day around the table, or hang out in the upstairs family room and watch TV. The beds were comfortable and the location was great. We would stay here again!

COMFY CASTLE!
We had a fantastic week at the Castle Beach House! it is so nice to be greeted at arrival by Ellen our hostess with so much enthusiasm for her guests to see the house and learn so much about Sea Isle City! They have put together a wonderful binder of just about everything you need to know about the house, history, and activities proved in the area. Also a section with restaurants with the ratings of previous guests! this beach area is definitely not a city. it is a vibrant community with dedication to providing a lot of outdoor activities for families with no charge. Since we had several cooler days with red flags at the beach we spent time playing pickle ball, enjoying a very large play ground, riding bikes and fishing/crabbing from a beautiful pier. This southern end of the island is very narrow and quiet which provides a feeling of having your own beach and inlet at close range. Now for the biggest hit for the kids! THE TURRET ROOM! Immediately upon arrival all the kids of all ages had to run up and inspect that room! it became the highlight of a lot of imaginative play and a game room. Bottom line...when you are picking a vacation spot with kids in mind it is so nice to find a place that everyone can feel comfortable and not worry about a lot of fancy furniture or breaking valuables. And a real perk was having Ellen and Jim as hosts who enjoyed answering questions and care about their guests of all ages.

Our family of five, plus a few friends, enjoyed our week in this clean, spacious condo. Great location, excellent climate control and wonderful hosts made this a week to remember. We spent a lot of time at the beautiful beach, and also made trips to Ocean City for the rides, Cape May for the zoo, and Avalon got shopping/ dinner!

-The owners couldn't be nicer! They are very communicative and aim to please. -The location is great and convenient to all Sea Isle offers. -The kitchen has necessary cooking/serving items. -Beach chairs, umbrellas and carriers were provided. -The home was clean upon arrival; however, the decor (including bedspreads) is older. Renters can expect a late 1980's upside-down style shore house (3 bedrooms downstairs and 1 upstairs) with comfortable mattresses. We suggest bringing your own bedspreads or blankets. -We did not have a problem with ants as mentioned in other reviews, so it looks like that has been addressed. -The TV streaming was intermittent and buffering, and the owner was looking into fixing/upgrading the WiFi.

Nice Beach House in Great Location
Homeowner first sent us community information listing events and things to do in the area prior to the vacation. Then she greeted us upon arrival and showed us the beach house. The home was clean and nicely appointed. The beds were comfortable. The house location was very nice, just a few blocks from the beach and a block from the bay where we went crabbing with the provided crab traps. The kids were excited as they caught 26 crabs in about 45 minutes. The house had everything the 8 of us needed for the week including beach chairs and a buggy to tote everything to the beach. We walked to sunset pier for dinner, scoops ice cream shop and Blitz's Market are just a few short blocks away. We had a great time and would definitely come back again!

Nice location but needs a good cleaning
The house was not as clean as we expect, and they also have a major ant problem, which I have since come to find out the hosts already knew about. Apparently they had an exterminator out a few weeks before our stay, but knowing this, they should have been extra diligent with making sure the problem was resolved and thoroughly cleaning the place before we arrived. There were ants everywhere, and I mean everywhere. When we started to look closer, there were ants in the bathrooms on both floors, dead ants and dust along the baseboards of the downstairs bedrooms, and we even saw some dead ants under the glass of a picture on the wall! We didn't really want to use the kitchen since ants would be on the counter and in cabinets, plus the spices available in the cabinet were old and stale (probably also had ants in them, but didn't check that closely). Overall the house served its purpose, but we could not be super comfortable. Also the Wi-Fi doesn’t work, but that wasn't a big deal for us on this particular trip. Check-in process was in-person & a bit lengthy. If given the option, I'd prefer self-check in. It would be great to at least have hand towels in the bathroom and kitchen, even though we have to provide our own linens and bath towels. But to give a few pros: Ellen is nice and was very communicative. The house is nicely laid out & in a nice location, walkable to beach or bay, playgrounds and some restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, we would not stay here again.

I know others have said this, but the pictures just don’t do this house justice! Loved all the windows and sliders keeping it bright with the perfect breeze coming through. Ellen and Jim thought of everything and were the perfect hosts! There wasn’t one amenity we needed or wanted that wasn’t already provided. The kitchen has everything and has lots of space. The deck is the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning and a beautiful view of the sunset in the evening. The grass yard was such a bonus! Allowed us plenty of space to play and entertain. We loved this new find and definitely plan to return!

Jim and Ellen were friendly and gracious hosts! Ellen’s communications with me were both professional and thorough. The property was in a lovely and quieter area within walking distance to both bay and beach. The house, although in need of a few updates, was well appointed and a perfect set up for a girls weekend getaway. The living room and kitchen area were both spacious enough for our group. The beds were comfortable. And adequate extra beach equipment was a bonus. We would there stay again.

Ample space and great location
Ellen was super nice and checked in via text which was appreciated. We only reached out once when we were looking for an additional beach chair and James left us one very quickly. Space: There is a lot of space for the group. The open floor plan was really nice for sharing meals with our crew of 8. New kitchen countertops, fridge and stove. Bedrooms: I am fussy about bedding so I brought an extra blanket and pillow and I was glad I did. In addition to the ceiling fans, there are extra fans in the closets which our family likes the white noise from them. Location: You can see the sunsets from the deck which was lovely. The lifeguards were not set up on our beach block and our group likes to swim. We walked about 4 blocks to get to the guarded beach. Otherwise, the beach is more like 2 blocks for walking or just sitting and enjoying the views. Overall, this place was a great stay for the price and flexibility if you don't want to stay for a full week.
