About this property

Island Escape at Casa del Mar (GVR06593)

Welcome to Island Escape at Casa del Mar by My Galveston Getaway! We're happy to have you Come Stay With Us - just keep clicking, you've found the best top floor condo with the best view and the absolute best customer service you'll find from a property manager in Galveston. Our favorite word is "yes" - how can we help make your stay amazing? Celebrating something - birthday, engagement, anniversary? If we can help make the stay great - just let us know.

This cute, privately managed (not in a rental pool) condo at Casa del Mar is top floor (yes, it makes a HUGE difference when you don't hear the pitter patter of late night arrivals above your head or when napping) and just the most spectacular gulf views. We think we've got all you'll need to be right at home with the 4 burner electric range, microwave & fridge (nothing compact about THIS fridge), full bath with tub/shower combination that can be accessed either from the hallway or the bedroom, a queen bed with your own TV in that private bedroom, kid-appropriate bunks in the hallway alcove, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. But the balcony - that's where you are going to want to be. Or in one of the two pools, or maybe, just maybe at the beach which is directly across the street and there is a protected crossing at the corner.

This complex charges a fee of as a resort/parking/amenity fee and this is charged by them upon your arrival to the complex. This is not charged by My Galveston Getaway or the condo's owner. When you arrive at the complex, please check in to the office and pay this fee - you will be provided with a parking permit and may be issued wristbands that identify you as registered guests at the complex, along with the WiFi code as the complex has a system-wide WiFi service. Effective May 1, 2025 - this charge is $25 for stays up to 7 consecutive nights and $75 for 8 consecutive days to 1-month, or on a month-to-month basis.

Casa del Mar does not allow renters to have a pet – so if you travel with Fido or Fifi – please check out the other My Galveston Getaway managed properties that ARE dog friendly. While true service animals are an exception – you very well may be asked by the complex to provide the verification. For short term rental/vacation purposes – emotional support animals are not considered true support animals and we are unable to make exceptions to a rule that is in place and enforced by a complex in which we manage condos. Kindly be respectful. All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties.

We look forward to hosting you in this privately owned condo that the owners entrust us to manage on their behalf. Each condo at this complex is privately owned - while we manage a few - we don't manage them all.

We generally provide our guests with self check-in instructions 24-72 hours prior to arrival and then let them enjoy their stay without interruption - however - if you need us we are a phone call or email away - just let us know what we can do for you! While we are happy to answer any questions you may have, because the codes change regularly we will not provide check in information early.

Like every condo complex in Galveston, Casa del Mar Condominium complex does charge a resort/parking/amenity fee – this is something that is paid directly to them when you arrive – we cannot collect or pay this on your behalf.

What's included: Bed linens for all beds, bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels and we do ask that ours not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost.

Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are not intended to last your entire group through your entire stay - but to get in, get situated and figure out where you will shop for what on the island.

There are pay per use laundry facilities at the complex – but not a washer/dryer in the condo itself.

We strive for 100% guest satisfaction – or as we call them – 5 Starfish Reviews. This is why we try to be as honest as possible in our listings. So if you find anything upon your arrival that was not as we described it – please give us a call and give us a chance to make it right! We want you to be happy. We realize that everyone can make a mistake or have a bad day – it’s how you recover that shows your true character – so we would appreciate your giving us the opportunity to turn that frown upside down and make this the best trip you’ve had (so far – until you book your next one). VRBO also gives us the chance to review you as guests and we want to give you a 5 star review as well.

Come Stay With Us at Island Escape!

After making your reservation you will receive a link to complete our renters agreement. The only information we request differently than the booking platforms (VRBO/AirBnB) is your personal email address, the names and ages of each person who will be in the property during your stay, and your driver’s license information as well as an emergency contact should we need to reach someone on your behalf. Thank you for completing this in a timely manner so that we may send you the check-in instructions for the property you have reserved.

Short Beach getaway

It was small but perfect and as described. The view of the ocean from the balcony was wonderful and better than expected. We hope to stay here again.

Somewhat Satisfied

The response to our initial issue (fire alarm chirping) was addressed immediately and professionally, with a personal touch of kindness.Our last day / night was extremely challenging to rest and sleep due to the noise of the hallway air conditioner.It is overly loud and slightly vibrates the bedroom.

Great location/room

Check-in should be simplified with parking being included and information shared. Sliding door lets in a lot of warm air in the summer. An overall 4/5.

Perfect Family Time!

This was the perfect place for me to enjoy my two Grandchildren during their Spring Break. Check in went smoothly, parking was easy and the condo itself was excellent! The kitchen had everything we needed to make a couple of meals. We all slept soundly. My Grandkids loved the built in bunk beds! The elevators made it easy to transport suitcases and supplies. My seven year old Grandson walked out on the balcony several times during our stay to marvel over the beauty of our ocean view! We could hear the waves. The kids played in the warm pool for hours! We played lots of board games on the one chilly(ish) day. Communiction with the hosts was always quick. Now we have to figure out a time to return! This is a great unit for quality family time. Thank you for having us!

Some amenities lacking

I did not like that I was only given one spare roll of toilet paper and had to bring my own. I also had to bring my own paper towels. The kitchen was extremely small and did not have a dishwasher. This caused me to need to buy disposable dishes and utensils. I did not want to wash every dish before I used it, and did not trust that the people before me had washed the dishes with hot water and soap. The TV was not smart. I was not able to watch any of my apps. The TV also did not have a guide. This made it very hard to watch TV.
