Sandcastle Inn

We were looking last minute to stay one night in Tybee Island. If you know Tybee then you know you will pay to park EVERYWHERE on the Island. So we were specifically looking for a place that was within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. SandCastle Inn was it! At first I was hesitant because of the reviews. People were complaining about it being run down, the pool being dirty, and even one review mentioned there being bugs. Other hotels in the same vicinity wanted $300 plus for a single night. Sandcastle Inn was much more reasonably priced so for just one night we decided to take a chance. When we arrived we didn’t see the “run down” motel people were talking about. The outside is more than decent and in a very convenient location. The pool was not dirty and our kids had a blast in it. And the rooms, they were clean and definitely NO bugs! Was it fancy? No. Were the beds luxurious? No. But it was clean, safe, well kept, and we were able to walk to everything. Lastly when we went to leave we unfortunately locked our keys in the car… was definitely a crummy way to end our short stay. Instead of being pushy the office staff Tammy & Melinda were very understanding and accommodating while we worked on getting a locksmith out there to get us back into our car. They were patient, kind and made sure we weren’t stuck in the heat with our children. We will definitely stay at Sandcastle Inn again in the future! Don’t believe every Google review you read because some people only write them because they enjoy complaining.

You can tell this is an old building. With that being said… the location and the staff was amazing. Super close to the beach and the lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. I had a great time and will return.

I'm not sure if I have anything to say about this place. Me and my family went here for my birthday as a vacation, And the positive thing about this place was with the nice receptionist at the front desk! As for the rooms, the night light was unnecessarily bright (too bright) and there's no plug for the tub drain so I either have to take a shower or wash myself with a washcloth and soap. The TV also has a limit of not over than 40 amount of channels. For the walking distance from here to the beach, it's a short and easy walking distance if you want to get to the beach early. Another thing is that people who live around here are loud and rowdy, and are playing loud music. I would recommend for someone traveling to Tybee to look for a hotel with great reviews and a good price for two nights or more, but not here at this hotel.
