Guest: Nanny(Winter Park, fl.) Date of Stay: 07/25/12 Review Submitted: 08/07/12 We had a wonderful stay at Casa Del Mar. The condo was nicely furnished with everything we needed. The grounds were well maintained and the pool was inviting. The check in and out procedures were very smooth and went quickly. We enjoyed day trips to the Ringling circus and museum and the Mote Aquarium, both being within a short drive. We would definitely come back again and recommend Casa Del Mar to anyone looking for a nice relaxing vacation.
I just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time at Casa del Mar. Your condo unit is wonderfully equipped with all the comforts of home. You really didnt miss a beat. The staff greeted us very graciously and a great time was had by all. Thank you for keeping it up as nicely as you do.
Our stay at Casa del Mar was outstanding. The condo is adorable, immaculate and has plenty of space for the whole family to relax (not to mention flatscreen TVs in every room). The beach is gorgeous and the water is crystal clear. This is a great place to come and unplug, but it's also minutes from great shopping and restaurants in St. Armands Circle if you're looking for a night out. If you forget your own beach towels you can buy them in the main office. A great value for the experience!
The condo is beautiful, has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Spacious and perfectly decorated. You can see the water from the sunrooom windows. Quiet property, nice pool, uncrowded beach with powder soft sand and plenty of lounge chairs! The folks at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We even got an escorted walk to our condo one night when it was raining and dark by the security guard. The grounds are landscaped beautifully with orchids and roses. Try the grouper sandwich at the place next door. Will definitely be back
The Weatherwas: Wonderful - Sunny Skies and partly cloudy some days. Some Wonderful things we did: Spent [lenty of time playing on the beach. Visited friends in Westly Chapel. Went to Clearwater Aquairium to see "Winter the Dolphin." A manatee swam near us while swimming off the beach. It was awesome! Many wonderful shells. Moments & Gilmpses: We found a giant shell and gave it to our six year old who discovered a "pinchy crab" inside - it was so funny and exciting. We watched him for some time. We really hope we will be able to come back soon! We loved the beach and enjoyed our time here very much!
