    This place was great and the staff was wonderful. We really enjoyed the fact they served breakfast from 8:30 am to 10:30 am and this allowed us to sleep in. The big screen TV's in each room and the fireplaces made it very comfortable and relaxing.

    This was the first time my wife and I had been to the Lake Michigan side of Michigan and was our second visit to a B&B. The ladies there treated us like family. We felt at home and were so excited to get back to the house to see what freshly baked cookies were waiting for us after a day out and about. Our room was very nice and well adorned. It was great falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the waves. And then heading downstairs to the wonderful breakfast the ladies put together for us. Even though there were other people there, the ladies made us feel like we were the only ones there. Great time and we will be back...

    We love the Sand Castle Inn & will go back.

    We are repeat customers and always enjoy our stays at the Sand Castle Inn. The rooms, breakfasts, snacks, & service are always top notch. We especially enjoy relaxing on the front porch. Downtown South Haven, the lighthouses, and the beach are all within walking distance.

    My husband and I booked a pool room at the Sand Castle B&B when we were in town for a weekend get-together with some friends. The room was very clean, and the staff was very polite and helpful. There were hors d'oeuvres served daily around 6pm, and a hot breakfast each morning. There was also a heated pool. My only regret was that we didn't get to spend more time at the B&B! We will definitely look into staying there again when we are in town! It was a calm, quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
