The hotel was spotlessly clean.....my number one expectation! Plenty of parking, nice lobby, and great grab and go style breakfast. Nothing fancy but quick and easy! I love the minimalist style for the rooms, very modern feel. Laminate flooring vs. carpets feel more sanitary to me! I thought the open area with hangers and hooks was cool, too. The bathrooms had soap and shampoo dispensers vs. soap bars and little bottles... better for our environment. We will definitely try one again in another location!

I dont even feel right in doing this negitive review as coming from a very hard working back ground…read moreand that i also get it and fully understand and respect that life throws curveballs that just cant be avoided and the one star is only due to the fact that when ur broke and homeless and worked your life paid taxes and all that our government asks us to do to not be there for the few that never abuses the system and only when all roads close. I have to say that i am grateful that hickmans is here and as for a complete search this place is it, there is no other. But givin that we should not be allowed to luve in the mold filled damp bed bug infested along with no amenities and dont even ask what about this or that as none means none shampoo coffee phone in the room its a complete and honest joke. And when ur at rock bottom and you walk un and ur first smell and visual makes you want to turn and run . you dont need to but you must use the see through bath towel thats a joke in its self have to put it on the shower floor to have a layer between u and the mold.. With no other choice but ur car or the room and knowing that u need a shower what can u do .. You will get bytes all over you our first action was to take everything off the rust stained bed and use our own. Jailhouse pillows were better than these if it werent for us losing our home having our pillows sheets and blanket was a godsend ..oh and the smell. The most confusing is that at 70$ a night when we had another stay the night before as 54$ a night (they were fully booked and had no choice but to leave).and there was everything from wifi free latte and ice ,apple juice with the list going on u get nothing here but filth and risk of god knows what as the bites start almost immeditaly.

Never had a single problem with any rules, never a single hassle with security. They put money back into the campgrounds every year to keep it nice. Yes, there are rules, would you want to bring your kids here if there weren't?! Can you imagine what it would be like without some rules?! I have interacted with the owners and staff since 2008, never a single instance of rudeness etc. This is a great place! 2 pools, laundry facilities, you have your own electric service direct with the utility, marina and minutes from every aspect of the beach and bay. Nothing but awesome in my experience. This is a great place to bring your family. 5 stars!!

Absolutely terrible experience -- DO NOT rent from Sandcastle Realty…read more After years of wonderful vacations in Bethany Beach, our family's trust in this company has been completely shattered. We've rented from Sandcastle for many years, always taking pride in leaving every home spotless and following every checkout instruction. Yet in recent years, we've faced repeated problems getting our security deposits back -- endless delays, vague accusations, and outright lies about the condition of the properties. This past summer was the final straw. After a storm from Hurricane Erin, we reached out several times to have the pool cleaned. We were ignored for most of the week, leaving the pool filthy and unusable for our kids. Still, we cleaned the house thoroughly before leaving -- wiped surfaces, swept floors, scrubbed bathrooms, and made sure everything was in better shape than when we arrived. We even took photos and video as proof. Months later, we were told we wouldn't be getting our security deposit back because the house was supposedly left a "mess." That claim is completely false -- and honestly insulting. Our family includes members with health conditions that made us extra careful about cleanliness. The whole experience has felt dishonest and exploitative. After decades of happy memories in Bethany Beach, it's heartbreaking that Sandcastle Realty has made it stressful to come here. Based on how they've handled our last few rentals, it feels like the owner, Doug, is running a scam -- taking people's deposits under false pretenses and violating Delaware law. To anyone thinking of renting from this company: beware. The home might look lovely online, but the peace of mind and trust that make a vacation special are long gone. What a sad way to end so many years of family tradition.

Despite taking pride in how we leave the properties in accordance with the check-out instructions and leaving it in immaculate condition we have experienced difficulty getting our security deposit back the last few years. Too many delays and lies on why the security deposit was not refunded has resulted in our conclusion that the owner Doug is running a scam operation taking tenants security deposit based on false allegations and in violation of Delaware law. To those reading this review and considering renting a house from this business ... BEWARE! The security deposit you pay is most likely to become a donation to Doug unless you want to retain an attorney and file suit to get it back.

The knowledge is far beyond what I can find on any website. I was researching this time and thought we found the perfect resort. When I reached out to Cindy to book the resort, she shared that the resort we were exploring was open but not fully open. Meaning many restaurants and activities would not be available. She quickly offered to book it if we were okay with that but offered alternatives that were fully open even though there was limited capacity. We took her suggestion. We could not have been any happier with her recommendation of Sandals South Coast. It was absolutely perfect. If you booking a vacation, I highly recommend Cindy McCabe at Bethany Travel!
