We really enjoyed our stay at Casa del Mar. Unit 16F was nicely appointed and had everythink we needed (even a mixer so we could make a quick cake). The rooms were clean, and the condo had great televisions in all the bedrooms in addition to the living room.
The weather was heaven sent, and so we utilized the pool and beach a lot. I have never seen so many shells - beachcombing heaven.
The wireless internet worked flawlessly, and we were very comfortable in general.
Great area, great facilities. We'll definitely stay again! |

Weather: "Great for 4 days, then Tropical storm Arlene dampend things a bit!" What we did: "Walked on the beach, watch sunsets, relax, watch the wildlife. enjoy the beautiful landscaping" What we saw and discovered: "Carraguilos, dolphins, construction traffic between Tampa and Orlando on I-4, but mostly we just enjoyed Sarrasota and Longboat Key."
(Owner comment: Since then, Sarasota Airport has become a Jet Blue hub, and Continental fares have come down accordingly as a result...direct fare from Newark, NJ to Sarasota have become way more economical than to Tampa, and it's a 20-min drive door-to-door to Casa del Mar, vs 1-hr ride. Interstates back to Tampa are without a convenient place to gas up on way back.) Moments & Glimpses "Casa del Mar (especially unit 16F) is like a home. The beach is so quiet and everyone is so friendly, courteous, and respects the rules and the environment. Thats a refreshing change from Atlanta (where we are from). We'll be back! Thanks for all the little touches that make 16F so comfy!"

Longboat key has the most beautiful beaches in the surrounding area!!! Great restaurants at St. Armands circle. Saw many dolfins!!! Caught fish!!! Spent lots of family time!!! 16F is an awesome condo. Casa del Mar is absolutely perfect. We hope to visit again soon!
(Mom's version) Weather: "Perfect everyday Low 80's and no humidity. Shelled, relaxed, rented a cool boat, saw a family of dolphins. I was here many years ago when I was a young girl - It's still so beautiful. Family time, laughs, Great time with friends. You have such a lovely place. All your wonderful decorations, Especially the story of the sand dollar. We are devout Christians and we know thaat this place is a gift from God. Gad Bless you always...

"Chilly the first 2 days and mid-70's the rest of the week...visited family in Sarasota and Venice, found great shells, swam and relaxed. Discovered how brave the gulls are...6 year old son had a pb&j sandwich taken right out of his hand by a seagull."
"We had a lovely and relaxing week here. The condo was well equipped, and I especially like the personnal touches like the CD's" (Owners Comment: Unit now has its own real guitar, for those enthusiasts, as of 12/05)
"Longboat Key is my favorite place in the Sarasota area. It is quiet and the beaches are pristine. The hustle and bustle of St. Armands is a quick drive away." (From Guestbook in Unit 16F)
