Awesome stay at Casa De Mira

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this house. We were able to fish, catch crabs, and get oysters all in one location. Very spacious and cozy. Definitely would book again in the future!

Great house for a group stay

The house completely matched the photos. There was plenty of space for our group and we loved the amount of outside space and seating to watch the sunsets and listen to the birds.

Great for a large family

Wonderful stay for the whole family. The house itself was spacious and comfortable for everyone. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate the whole weekend with extreme wind and some rain. Would like to go back when the weather improves.

Great fishing

Overall great fishing spot but the beds were not comfortable at all. Mold in the washer and on the shower curtians and shower head. Once these things are attended to this house should get 5 stars every review. Communication was great as well.

From the owner: "I am very sorry that you did not have the best experience during your stay. We try to always do our best, especially in the cleanliness of our home. Not to make excuses, but sometimes we have a very quick turnaround between guests, and something might go unnoticed. We recently bought toppers for our beds because our mattresses are fairly new. I'm sorry they were not as comfortable as you liked. I am having the dryer door molding replaced this week. Thanks for the heads up on that. We love our house, it is a family home, and we feel it is a beautiful property. And we hope you give us another chance. Best wishes."

If the condition of the property was as listed, my review would have been much higher. Even if we were told ahead of time about the condition of the property upon arrival, we would have been understanding and rated the stay higher, however, we were not.For half our stay, we did not have access to the driveway (for a full house of vehicles) because it was taken up by a trailer with construction/tree debris. Construction material, including nails, were left about. The dock had large sections of missing planks or planks that were not fastened down. We didn't know until we walked across them, that they were loose. We could have twisted ankles or fallen into the oyster beds and gotten injured. Additionally, the vents above the beds in the upstairs bedroom had black mold growing on them that hadn't been cleaned, 2 out of 3 fans in the living room didn't work and the shower faucets had a brown residue that developed that could have been easily cleaned.If the indoor issues were addressed and the outdoor items had been communicated before we got there, this stay would have been given a higher rating.

We’re sorry for the condition you encountered during your stay. A new roof had recently been installed and pier repairs were still underway, and the home should not have been occupied until the work was complete and the trailer was moved. We’ve since followed up on the concerns with the vents, shower fixtures, and other areas noted in your review. We also appreciate the feedback about the fans and will continue checking the home carefully as these improvements are completed.

We absolutely enjoyed our extended Mother's Day weekend at this home. We enjoyed the pier, all of the swings, the covered boat area that allowed for fishing during rain and all of the amenities this property has.

Favorite things: pier, boat cover, plenty of fish to catch (son caught 13 non keepers and cousin caught 3 keepers, flounder, trout, drum), we were able to cast net across the street for bait but still purchased plenty of bait from local sources. Quiet, neighbor/maintenance person was super nice. Would love to rent again one day!

Summer Bayhouse Getaway

This was our 5th summer staying on Sportsman Road but the first time in this house. Great views from every level of the home! Beautiful sunsets every night! Plenty of room for everyone to relax. Loved all the swings and picnic tables. My favorite spot was the deck that overlooks the water. The beds were a little uncomfortable for our liking. Fishing was great - our son caught a nice red from the saltgrass in front of the home. Nice sink area to clean fish too! We will definitely be staying here again..already looking forward to next year!

Great place for get together

This is the first time I made the reservation myself and invited my friends here. The whole process has been very easy, and with the timely communications, I love that!The place is quite, the house has all the kitchen tools, even the small picking and cracking tools for eating crab. The two decks facing the water are great for the morning. The sunset views are also great.Overall, my friends all liked this place and enjoyed the stay. We are talking about coming back for another get together next year.

Family Reunion

This was our second visit to this property. The first was 6 years ago on our 50th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do it again. Needless to say our family has grown in that 6 years. The house is well equipped and we were able to make meals instead of going out to eat all the time. The upstairs a/c went out due to someone setting the thermostat too low but owner had someone out to fix it right away. Very impressed! Can’t wait to do this again!!!

Good price and location, needs some upgrades and updates

The price for the location is why we selected this home. The house overall is a good setup, but frankly this home could rent out for much more (and probably more consistently) and be more enjoyable with some minor updates and upgrades.The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes. We however only cooked one meal inside, and the rest we cooked on our own flattop we brought because of how long it took the inside cooktop to heat up. I would recommend better labeling on switches or some sort of guest manual with pointers on where the dock light and under house light switches are located. That was all a bit tricky, but once we found it, it was decently lit for night fishing. The house is set up for sleeping as many people as it states, which was nice and overkill for our group size. Mattresses on bed could definitely stand some cheap toppers or something. They were all pretty rough. The pictures are as it shown online. With the setup, location, and price, I would consider this house again and just be mentally more be prepared for those minor concessions.

Great stay for extended family vacation

Place is as shown, some things are a little worn but overall it was in good condition. Beds were a little harder than I like but there were a lot to choose from and everyone couple got their own room with only my youngest niece having to sleep in the loft area. Kitchen is well stocked, lots of places to sit and a nice big table for family dinners. Our contact was awesome and very accommodating, even shipped me my jewelry that I accidentally left!! Check-in and check-out were very easy. It is quite a bit out of the way of all the attractions but very private and quiet if that's what you are after and only about 10-20 min drive to anything you could want. The dock and deck were awesome, my fiancé got to fish everyday it was nice enough. Not really any luck catching anything big enough to eat but that's probably more due to the time of year than the location I imagine. All in all a wonderful stay with family.
