We had a wonderful time learning to build sandcastles with Sandi. Sandi is a great teacher and hands on with helping you try the techniques. It was a fun activity that all of us could do together - we had ages 15 - 72 - and everyone enjoyed the event. WE are home from the beach and my family is still talking about it.

Sandi was an enthusiastic, patient, and energetic teacher for young children to adults a like. We have 3 professional teachers in our family and they were all very impressed with her capabilities. Sandi came to North Topsail Beach early to set up and patiently taught us about sand sculpture building techniques for 1 1/2 hours then topped it all off by building us a small, personalized castle that served as a centerpiece for memorable family photos. With travel, 4 to 5 hours of her time and expertise at a great price. All in all an outstanding experience...We will definitely see Sandi again!

Sandi came to our beach site while on vacation in North Topsail and gave all eleven of us instructions on the right methods of building sand sculptures. She really knows what she's doing, is great with kids and adults alike. She's well prepared, knowledgeable, and makes the experience great fun for everyone. I do not hesitate to strongly recommend SandiCastles!

Sandi commemorated my 60th with a beautiful castle part of a wonderful memorable day. She is a creative hard worker and my daughter and I enjoyed watching her genius in action. Thank you Sandi!

Sandi was incredible from beginning to end. She had excellent email correspondence throughout our process of planning our visit. Very prompt and helpful. She offered a great recommendation for a beach for our lesson since we are from the Midwest and not at all familiar with the area. Sandi gave a very hands on lesson with helpful information. It turns out that our ideas of sandcastle building were completely wrong! We learned a lot and hope to create some incredible sand art back home. It was a memorable experience for our our family vacation at the coast.

Myself and my daughter-in-law carried my 6 grandchildren to Wrightsville Beach for the SandiCastles experience. Who knew castle building could be so much fun! And so easy! I was a little concerned the older children (ages 10,11 and 12) might not enjoy it, but they ALL said it was great! Sandi was awesome.... so good with the children!! Afterwards they played in the water a while and we ate lunch at the hotel. So glad everyone enjoyed it!

Learning to make sand sculptures with Sandi is a great family bonding or team building activity. She teaches you how to work with the sand (it's all in the jiggle!) and provides simple, everyday tools (plastic knives and spoons, straws, etc.) to show you how to sculpt. You can make your own or work in pairs/teams to see who can make the most creative sculptures. It is something everyone in the family can participate in while enjoying the sun and ocean waves. Sandi is also a very fun, positive, and inspirational person to have as a teacher. You'll have a great time, and you'll never look at sand the same way again!

Sandi came to us for a family lesson for eight, ages ranging from 7 to 45. She was an energetic and patient teacher, giving extra tips to the ones who were ready for another idea and extra help to the littlest ones. We learned alot and had a great time - so glad we did this!

Sandi was absolutely fabulous ! We had a family vacation with 5 little ones and 9 adults and everyone had a great time. Learning how to build 'real' sand castles was truly a great experience while having fun in the sand. Sandi is knowledgeable about the types of sand and the tides that effect your castle and encourages creativity... even to those of us who don't possess it !! Truly, a fun lesson on the simple things in life :)
