Hearing the sound of the ocean at night and watching the sunset was breathe taking. ##### Arelessia C.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! It was so clean and exactly like the pictures. The neighborhood was clean, quiet and so inviting. Our girls 15 and 12 got up every morning and walked the beach for shells and swam all day. The location couldn’t be any more perfect. Checking in and out was super easy! We will definitely be back!! ##### Alesha V. Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd S. 21 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Casa De Mar We travel alot and VRBO 90% of the time and this was in the top 5 vacation rentals we have stayed in. Clean, accessible, and very quiet. easy access to the beach was welcomed by my elderly parents. Most of the rentals do have a small collection of simple board games for kids and adults, scrabble, monopoly, trivia. etc. This home did not, adding this simple feature would be an easy addition to a great rental. ##### Todd S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia W. 30 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for our annual group get away We are a group of 6 women in our 70's who get away, mostly to Galveston, every year. We have stayed at many places and this house was at the top of our favorites. As advertised, the views from every room are stunning, there are multiple decks, and because of the way the house is situated, we could always find a comfortable deck to be with shade and shelter from the wind. The house is beautifully decorated and there are ample dishes, cookware, utensils, and serving dishes for a crowd. It was not too much of a problem for us as we are all fairly active for our age, but any one with problems climbing stairs should be aware that all the bedrooms except for the master are on the third floor, which means 4 flights up, and there is only one bathroom for the 4 bedrooms on that floor. We did manage this, and for us all the advantages outweighed this one inconvenience, and we hope to rent Casa del Mar again next year. ##### Patricia W. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren G. 20 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House! Location is fantastic. In a beautiful neighborhood, literal steps to the beach. Very clean, etc. Everything in working order. We had booked five nights, but unfortunately, a tropical storm came in and we were only able to stay two nights. It was unfortunate because we could not get our money back. They only issue refunds if the island is under mandatory evacuation, which it was not. This area is lower lying so it’s at an increased risk for flooding and we did not feel safe staying and getting stuck. You could not go outside without sand blasting you in the face. It was unsafe to be outdoors so we felt we had no other choice to leave. Other than that, I was very happy with the property itself and the communication with the property managers. That does make a big difference with vacation rentals! ##### Lauren G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris N. 2 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home, and fantastic rental agency We've done a few Galveston rentals, including a couple in the Pirates Beach neighborhood. This was, by far, our best - to the point where we will probably lean towards just re-booking this home next time. Great kitchen amenities, great views of the ocean from many of the rooms, clean - just NOTHING to complain about. There was an issue on the first night where the 2nd floor a/c wasn't working. I called Gary Greene agency and someone picked up immediately. They had someone out there within about an hour. It couldn't be fixed that night, so they gave us several options for other homes where we could stay. We chose to stay there (it wasn't that hot this time of year). it took several visits to get the a/c working the next day - but the whole time, GG Agency was communicative, ready to offer up whatever would mitigate the problem - they were AWESOME. And, in the end, they gave me a bit of money off (I didn't even need to ask). They come HIGHLY recommended. ##### Chris N. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023
