Host Rachel was accommodating and always making sure our accommodation to Casa Del Mar information was on point. Because the unit was small, if I return, I will only go with my husband only. The pool is beautiful and I had a good time with the people I met there. They were so friendly.
Small condo but has everything you need. Is in a great location for walking the seawall. Owner was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.
The stay was great and worked out perfect for our family. The pools were great and the proximity to the beach was super convenient. Super clean and just want we needed for our weekend stay.
Great location on the seawall- walking to grocery store and restaurants. Quick 5 minute drive to The Strand for shopping, bars and the harbor tours! Would stay again.
The location was just what we needed and the accommodations were spot on. For a nice stay close to the beach with the room for a family of 4 it was just right. I was very happy this was our first Vrbo stay and I’m glad we found it.
The booking and check in process was smooth from beginning to end. The condo itself was clean, comfortable and perfect for myself, my husband and our daughter. We will absolutely book this same place on our return trips to Galveston!
The VRBO is perfect for a small family looking to get away to the beach! Easy access to the beach and restaurants (including treats for the kids and coffee for the adults). Even close to a local mini golf course. Parking was a breeze and it was comforting to know we had a safe place to crash after those long fun days.
The stay was great. May need to check the air it didn’t stay cool at night had to use the fan. Not a big deal I would stay again. Thanks for having us.
Great location, perfect for beach access and close to stores and dining as well! Well taken care of unit. Perfect for staying the week with kids. Bunk beds are smaller than twin sized but the kids loved them.
This place was very cute, looks just like the pics, comfy beds and plenty of bath towels/toilet paper/ kitchen appliances etc. My favorite is that it is directly across from the seawall and beach so no long walk or having to drive to the beach. Also, the pools have showerheads so its easy to rinse off all the sand before having to go upstairs to the condo 👍
Had a great experience staying at this property. Short walk from the beach, 2 awesome pools and the condo itself was super clean and had all necessities. Property owners were very responsive and provided all information for easy check in/ check out. Bed was comfortable and thee were two smart tvs for streaming
We always choose the Casa Del Mar and this little condo was VERY clean when we got there and super cozy for our little family with a GREAT view. We will be back as always. Such a smooth process for our mini family vacation. We loved this little spot.
We booked the property for our stay in Galveston and it was great! Located on Seawall Blvd we were right across the street from the beach, 2 outdoor pools to enjoy, near restaurants and Walmart. The property was clean and safe. Our family of 4, 2 kids ages 12 and 14, had a great time! Rachel was also great to work with as we had to change our vacation due to Hurricane Beryl, she was responsive and a pleasure to work with!
