This hotel and cottages are fantastic! We were so lucky to find this place. We reserved the Wagner…read moreCottage which offered two bedrooms, with two queen beds in each bedroom. It was basically a beach house to ourselves, being thoughtfully equipped with a full kitchen with dishes, cook ware, cutlery, cooking utensils, a coffee maker, stove, oven, microwave, full-sized refrigerator, dish soap, and more!
The rooms also have an ironing board, full sized closets, window unit air conditioning in each room and throughout the cottage. In addition, the two bathrooms were extremely convenient. There were complimentary shampoo, conditioner and soap as well as multiple sets of towels, hand towels, face/wash towels, and a bath mat.
The lighted fans did not seem to work, but there was air conditioning so it was no big deal. The cottage also had a nice bar height counter, normal height dining table with chairs, and a cozy living room with a pull-out sleeper sofa with an additional full sized/double mattress. The beds in each room were comfortable and were medium firm. There were also multiple pillow types, ranging from soft, flat to firm and more fluffy.
The cottage is across the Olympic sized pool. The pool has nice lounge chairs and a complimentary pool towel service. Life guards are on duty. The pool has a diving board at the 10 feet end.
With your reservation, you receive parking passes and free parking in the lot behind the cottage. The private lot could fit up to 4-6 cars. However, they also give you a parking fob in case you need more parking in the gated parking lot across the street.
You can ask the hotel front desk to give you one free standard sized ice bag per day from their locked ice storage or bring the bag back for refills.
There is a lively bar behind the hotel front desk area called Coconuts. The bar has bands that play live music every weekend. They have Happy Hour specials, so be sure to ask about them.
The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Check-in is at 4pm. Check-out by 11am. Check-in and check-out were very easy.
Other cottage amenities: dishes, bowls, cups, mugs, baking sheet in drawer below oven, cook ware (pots and pans), cutlery knives, coffee maker, can opener, cutting board, dishwasher, full sized refrigerator, dish drying rack (under sink) and toaster (in cabinet). There is a landline phone on the side of the counter as well.
We loved everything about the cottage, hotel, and amenities! The beach is only one block down the street. I would highly recommend Castle in the Sand Hotel! The cottages are great for large groups or families.
