We spent a wonderful 3 night weekend at the Sand Castle in mid-October 2012. Everything about the Sand Castle was perfect and Carlina is an Outstanding cook and hostess! It was a great experience for us. We will be back again, and have already recommended the Sand Castle to several people.

Sue & Tom had a wonderful first stay at Sand Castle Inn. The staff treated us just like family. The food & snacks (especially the specially treated pretzels) are great. Location to the beach makes it ideal to walk down a short block with plenty of room to enjoy the warm sun. The rooms in the inn are kept spotless with fresh bath towels, etc. The front & side porches are great to relax, snack & have a beverage. The outdoor pool was very clean, plenty warm and we almost had the entire pool to ourselves more than 1 day. The Sand Castle Inn is definitely a sure place we plan stay again next summer.

My wife and I stayed at The Sand Castle Inn for a weekend. it was our first Bed & Breakfast experience. Overall, we were extremely satisfied. From the moment we walked in, we felt very at home, and it was easy to relax and enjoy ourselves. You could stay in your room if you wanted privacy or hit the town (only a couple block walk from downtown and 1 block from the beach) if you wanted dinner or entertainment. The breakfast was good, however, it wasn't exactly what I expected. My idea of a great breakfast is eggs, bacon, sausages, etc. and none of that was provided. It was more along the lines of fruit, breakfast casseroles and sweets. The breakfast was not bad, just not what I expected. We would definitely stay at The Sand Castle Inn again.

The Sand Castle was recommended to us by friends and we would stay here again. The staff was great,there when we needed them,but also left us on our own. Perfect location for us, 2 minute walk to beach,10 minutes to downtown,close to bike trail. Enjoyed our breakfasts and the evening snacks were a real treat!

My husband and I have stayed at this B&B twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms and inn are clean, friendly and comfortable. The sweeping front porch is wonderful for enjoying the breakfast that is provided! Just a quick walk to downtown too! We had a great stay and would definitely come again. Enjoy!
4.8 out of 5Pleasant Surprise
September 11, 2012
About 2 hours away from Chicago, my girlfriend and I headed to the Sand Castle Inn for a one night stay on a Friday after work. My family used to have a summer home in South Haven and I've been going back to the area for the past 15 years. I always passed by this B&B and when I saw a great deal, I made a reservation. We stayed in the Royal suite and it was perfect. Spacious (bedroom and bathroom), inviting, and comfortable. The outside private deck was enormous as well. It was quiet and the staff was friendly. No complaints whatsoever. The chocolate chip cookies were a good late night snack! I was so impressed that I booked a weekend getaway for my parents (my mom's 60th birthday present).
