About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"A Castle in the Sand" - Oceanfront Newly Renovated - Pool, Elevator - Sleeps 15

"A Castle in the Sand" sits upon three direct oceanfront lots providing you a luxurious oasis. The meticulously manicured landscape includes a heated pool (heating available with fee - pool open April-October only), covered gazebo, arbor and trellis covered pathway surrounded by palm trees, tropical foliage and a privacy fence.

As this home was chosen as a filming location (Clay and Quinn’s Beach House) of the popular TV show “One Tree Hill” during the 2009 through 2011 season series, although it has since been remodeled to a modern coastal aesthetic, it will certainly be an exciting destination for those of you that followed and enjoyed this popular TV show.

Those scammers steal from our credit card 800+$, and no apology no nothing. House has good picture but not for 500$ a night, plus picture photoshop. Everything was dirty when we arrive, some black hair. Elevator uncomfortable like a bed. WI-FI doesn't work. We want to extent those property more BUT OWNERS SAID BECAUSE WE HAVE SERVICE DOGS, They don't wanna us keeping longer. This is discrimination of Federal Law. I will contact them and share issues with service dogs. And we must leave at 10:00, not even 10:10. IMMEDIATLY AT 10. Even hotels has some check out time 11-12 but not 10 am. This property is not luxurious to have such arrogant teams. And we bought a mailbox and installed it for ourselves because the postman couldn’t find this address. So,hey answered, send it to our office, and go to the office. The manager came up with some nonsense that you can’t put boxes. This is some kind of f....... up and not a rental company. We left that mailbox for them, let the poor owners take it back, there’s a check below, if they are so greedy and arrogant. Ugh
