Awesome location, needs some TLC
My family and I stayed booked a trip here early in the month and had to leave after the 1st night due to mold, musty smell and asthma issues with my son and my husband. There is no screen door or fans in the bathroom, so any moisture stays in the unit 24/7. When you shut the sliding doors at night, you smell and feel it all. There was mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and you could tell there was a mold issue. The A/C rattles, too, so if you're a light sleeper it's not ideal. The location is perfect and the view one-of-a-kind. While they did reimburse me for the remaining 2 nights, I was still charged for cleaning, parking + the 1st night stay, which I did not find fair bc it was their issue not mine. And a health issue atop all. Definitely not the place to stay if you have asthma or allergy to mold. Perhaps a humidifier to include at night would help with the sheets/blankets feeling damp and their housekeeping should check vents weekly for dust build-up as we saw firsthand. In general, we didn't have a good experience. We felt cleaner and more comfortable sitting out on the balcony vs. being inside to be honest. We booked here, too, bc they didn't allow pets -- and we thought that would = healthier conditions for my family. Sigh.....

Hi Stacey. We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused by the presence of mold and the associated musty smell in the condo during your stay, which affected both your family and your vacation. We are grateful for your prompt communication regarding the matter, and while our housekeeping team would have been happy to address the issue, we recognize and respect your decision to truncate your stay. Our guests' safety is of paramount importance, and we appreciate the information and images you provided, which were instrumental in alerting our Property Care team to the problem. We are pleased to report that the mold is currently being addressed. In light of the situation, we have revised our initial refund offer and have issued a full refund. However, we regret that we were unable to refund the parking fees, as this is managed directly by the complex. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this valuable feedback. As a remote company, we depend entirely on our guests' input to enhance their experiences with us. We have a broad range of stunning properties located throughout Texas and other states, and we hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Nice Stay
This property was cute! It fit 2 adults and 2 kids perfectly for our stay. The bunk beds were a hit, after they got done bickering about how they would decide which one got the bottom with a TV, or the top without a TV. The condo had everything that you may need, and then some. Having big beach towels right at the door when you are heading to the beach was a nice touch. The beach is right across the street and easy to walk to. It is a relatively clean beach with lifeguards on duty. The porch has a great view of the water, however, it is right at a popular intersection and the vehicle noise is mostly what you hear. The picture of the deck was a little misleading with not many cars in the picture. The complex had ice machines and numerous, clean laundry facilities which cost $2 to wash and $2 to dry, so make sure to bring quarters. The pools were nice and everyone enjoyed them. Security was also very active and would patrol the parking lots and other public spaces. It really helped make us feel safe. It was a great short trip and we would stay here again.

We would have been more than happy to send our housekeeping out to address this for you right away as this is not up to our high cleaning standards! We have had a record-high in temperatures this summer that has made it challenging to keep ACs running efficiently and pools cool!

Great location
Quick response from management. Bunks are slim but my 16 yo son did not complain about the size. The bed in master is pushed against the wall on one side, so the person sleeping on the inside has to climb over to get out of the bed. It was kind of cramped for a family of 6, 3 of those being high school football players. The location was great. Easy access to beach & stores near by. Great view of the beach also. We would stay again.

We always stay at Casa Del Mar because we love the location. This room had been fully renovated and it was so nice. My son loved the little TVs in the bunk bed area.

Nice location, easy check-in
We didn’t end up getting to stay in this exact property. It was changed to another room at the very last moment due to “maintenance issues”. We couldn’t get any more details than that. The substitute room was nearly identical in decor and layout but on a lower floor, which was very disappointing. Check-in was smooth. The heated pool was great. And being right across from the beach was wonderful. Upstairs neighbors were noisy but that was only a problem the last day.

Bad stay
The apartment was right on a very busy corner and the noise was endless, the people next to us were smoking weed in the unit and it filled our apartment but the management would do nothing, the parking was rough. Overall not a good stay and I would never come here again.

Property was as described
Property was as described. Location was not for us. They limit the condos to 6 people, but some condos had well over that limit. This is obviously not the owners fault, but just something to be aware of on holidays weekends. Other than that, the place was well appointed for a small family of 4.

Charming Getaway
This charming condo is exactly as it's described. Tiny in size, but mighty in amenities! The kitchen is loaded with everything you can imagine, the view is beautiful at sunrise and a lively place to people watch as the day goes into night. It's a little loud, but not enough to be a bother...it's entertainment! Great getaway for this party of one!

We look forward to hosting you again in the near future.
