About this property

Lovely recently upgraded suite overlooking the beach!

Enjoy Galveston! Casa Del Mar Voted one of Best Condo Rentals on Island!

This owner operated unit is a recently refurbished condo. A one bedroom efficiency suite that provides all the comforts of home and convenience.

Please Note: While this unit is capable of up to 6 guests, it is an efficiency unit that technically allows up to 4 adults (two in Master Bedroom - two using fold out sofa) and 2 children (bunk beds) ... however, typically this unit is better suited for a couple, or a couple with small children, or potentially up to 3 adults, especially if a longer stay (4+ days) is desired (closet space is minimal). Anything beyond this is likely to not meet Renter expectations..

This particular unit is quiet and centrally located within the Casa Del Mar property. A private balcony with a beach view. Walk across the Seawall to newly rebuilt beaches and fishing pier. Restaurants, shops, and stores within walking distance. Numerous other Galveston attractions (too many to list here) just minutes away via vehicle, local transportation, or bike. Two pools to choose from, one of which is two floors down from elevator or stair access (elevator and stairs are just 20 feet away from suite front entry, through two end hallway noise reducing double doors).

A queen size bed in the bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa in the living area. Comfortable 8" thick custom mattress bunk beds mostly suitable for children (25" x 72"). A studio kitchen fully populated with utensils and amenities. A microwave, refrigerator, stove, oven, coffee maker, toaster, and blender. Upgraded bath. A flat screen cable TV in the living area, another in the bedroom. Both televisions also have WIFI features. An entertainment center that includes a Blu-ray and even a VCR player (for old school enthusiasts!).

Plus, it's the little things ... paper towels, toiletries, beach towels, board games, video library, usb charge stations, iron board, hair dryer, extra blankets, more. It's the things you don't see. Like a new coastal rated AC, a new tank less on demand water heater, a high platform bed frame in the bedroom to store luggage, ... the kind of things that only an owner can appreciate if they stay themselves ... more.

For your convenience, the Casa Del Mar facility provides covered parking (required upon arrival, a $40 parking fee for up to 2 vehicles, Cash not accepted), interior entrances, BBQ area, picnic area tables, guest laundromat, ice makers, vending machines, internet, security, elevators, non smoking property, courtyard, 2 pools (1 heated in Texas winter months).

This condo suite is owner operated. Perfectly suited for a romantic get away, a weekend event, or a small family vacation. For a longer term winter monthly rental, contact owner for additional details and savings. For one, stays of 30 days or more do not require hotel tax.

Please note pets are not allowed within the Casa Del Mar community. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms.

**MOST IMPORTANT NOTE** Our sincere apologies but past experience requires us to declare. For your identity protection and our unit assets, upon arrival, you must provide a valid picture ID that matches the phone number and credit card information used to reserve this condo. Failure to match these credentials will prevent entry and without a refund.

**NEW PARKING FEES 2023** Casa Del Mar properties recently added a new fee. Upon arrival, renters must pay a $40 parking fee good for the entire Stay. A parking sticker for your vehicle ensures guest registration and prevents a tow. This was necessary to prevent random visitor's to Galveston beaches from parking in unauthorized spaces. This fee will not show in your VRBO or Home Away booking.

When checking rates, please read Notes to ensure this rental meets your expectations.

The condo is exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, convenient to everything, great view of the beach, well maintained inside and out. I will certainly stay here again and look forward to it. Bed was extremely comfortable and I slept so well. This was a perfect fit for me.

Babe's Beach Get-Away

This place was perfect for our girl's get-away. I have stayed at Casa Del Mar many times through the years, and this unit was one of the cleanest and nicest that I've ever rented. Thank you, Mitch and Tina, for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. I'm looking forward to our next visit in July.

Great place to stay

Picked this rental because of its proximity to the beach. The room description was accurate and the owners were easy to connect with and helpful. Plenty of amenities in the room including beach toys, towels to name a few. We stayed as a family and had no difficulties. The rental is located across the street from the beach, and very easy to walk too. If needed, and there is an available pool as well. Would recommend this location to others.

Great location, clean, and fabulous seashore decoration

This condo was a delightful place for our short weekend visit. It was exactly like the pictures with some extra provisions to make you feel like it’s a second home away from home. There were snacks and water bottles provided, which was a very nice welcoming gesture. If you want to lounge out at the beach, there were portable foldable chairs, beach towels, and sand toys available for use. If you plan to do some laundry, I recommend bringing your own quarters for the washer and dryer. Each load to wash or dry is $2 for 60 minutes. Mitch and Tina were wonderful hosts and very responsive if you had any questions. I was impressed that the entire property and common areas were clean and bug free. I will definitely return in the future. 😊

Best unit I have stayed in to date.

Of course this property is great. I have stayed here 4 times over recent years. But this unit was by far the best yet. Very clean. It was furnished with almost everything you will need. But it also had many smaller things that other units don't bother with (shampoo, hand soap, coffee, extra sealed toothbrush and mouthwash, etc, too many to list). Communication and access were easy and better than many others. Location is great being near the elevator end and also ice machine. Extra waters and snacks were very appreciated. It was very quiet and peaceful with a great view. Highly recommended!

A month in Galveston

I enjoyed Galveston. I took many beach walks and runs, and biked all over town. There are lots of food options. I cooked fresh seafood many nights. I also enjoyed Greek Cajun and VietCajun, as well as a food truck on the seawall. The condo is very small and could use some updating. I found the bed quite uncomfortable, resorting to sleeping on the couch (which was fine.) There is a disadvantage to the location. It is at one of the major intersections at the seawall and there is constant traffic noise. I will give the condo management credit for keeping the grounds in very nice condition. The mantenance staff was very friendly.

Traffic and rude neighbors

The condo and property was exceptional but traffic getting out of the site was horrendous. Also, while we spent a lot of time on our balcony, our neighbors were smoking illegal substances day and night so I had to not only smell it myself but I had to keep my children inside to prevent them from smelling it. I believe if security had been on patrol, they could have handled the problem

We're ready to go back

The whole experience was well thought-out and easy. The property was as advertised and well fitted with everything we needed. There was a slight problem with access because my wife uses a mobile scooter to get around and the entry door threshold is is a couple of inches high. It was mildly difficult to get in and out of the condo. A maintenance man saw us struggling late during our visit and told us that we could call the office and request a ramp. At that point, we didn't bother. But a heads up before arrival would have been helpful. It was a totally enjoyable weekend and we thank the owners for being cordial and responsive.

Spring visit with granddaughter

The condo was in a great location and the owners were very attentive. My only negatives are about the mattress in the bedroom being very hard, (i know some prefer this but I couldn’t sleep on it), the water pressure in the tub abs the sleeper sofa mattress is actually broken. The owner said former tenants had problems with it. I think someone actually tried to force it in with bedding in it and broke the head support part. I have one like it at our lake house and the exact thing happened. The condo is equipped with anything you could need. It was the cleanest one we have ever rented anywhere. These units are very small and would be great for a couple with two children. Although 6 could sleep in it, it would be very tight quarters.

Everything Mitch & Tina say about this place is TRUE!

Okay friends, Let me tell you about my stay at Mitch & Tina's place. IT WAS FABULOUS!!! They are such an inviting couple and provide EXCELLENCE in customer service! Additionally, their condo is located in the PERFECT spot! No late day sunset (hot) NO early morning sunshine (too bright)! They have the condo set-up exquisitely!!! I spoke with them on the phone and again - nothing but magnificence! Mitch & Tina went out of their way - making things "extra special" for my stay. I took my own pictures to capture the wonderfulness of Mitch & Tina's place (feel free to share!). And... just in case you're wondering, no, this is not a paid commentary nor am I a family member or friend. I am just an extremely satisfied (new) customer. Thank you Mitch & Tina for your graciousness!!! I look forward to staying at your place again in the very near future. Thank you for making my stay memorable. #Tina&MitchRock PS One last thing... I found no issues with the shower!! Nor were there any other issues with the condo. None. At all.

I wish I could give it 10 stars!!

We had the absolute best vacation and so much of that had to do with our stay at the condo. The description of the property was spot on. The property is GREAT and it is in one of the best locations on the island. We love to fish so being directly across from the 61st fishing pier was so conveniently. It is also walking distance to most things to do. So about the condo. Upon arrival we were pleased that checking in and parking was a breeze. Once inside the condo we were shocked with all the “extras” they provided that most never think to do. They had sand toys, boogie boards, beach towels, and a glider for the kids. Huge plus in my daughters eyes. Then when we got to the living room and kitchen we realized they had everything you could want and more. They even had a platter with bags of cookies on the coffee table. Perfect snack after the 6 hour trip. The cleanliness of this condo is top notch, honestly the entire property and both pools were extremely clean. It smelled amazing and the linens and towels had the fresh out of the dryer feel/smell. I honestly could go on and on about this condo. We plan to return hopefully sooner than later. The host was amazing and very informative and had great communication. We even booked an extra night we loved it so much. If you are considering this property GO FOR IT! You won’t regret it.

Great little getaway

This place was just what we needed it to be. The unit, although small (which we knew about ahead of time and were ok with), was perfectly suited for a family visiting the beach. Perfectly placed right across from the beach it made it super easy getting back and forth. Pool right by the room was convenient as well. Everything was well maintained and the unit had everything we needed. Will definitely be returning.

We are local to the Houston area, our families live here, our kids attended school here. We use and manage the condo suite ourselves, so you will find it very clean, comfortable, and well maintained.

Why they chose this property

For us, Galveston is another wonderful local option (has been for decades), and not just for their newly rebuilt beaches but also for the upgraded attractions, restaurants, stores, and shops. Only recently did we decide to open it up for others to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Additional incentives and discounts for return visitors. We not only want you to enjoy, but also come back!
