You must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
This home is pet-friendly, with a $200 non-refundable fee. Casa Carmen is located on the beachside in the Bluewater subdivision. The living room and kitchen's open concept allows everyone to be a part of the family fun even while cooking meals. The kitchen table is perfect for meals, puzzles, or a friendly game of cards. The primary bedroom has a queen bed, a twin bed, and an attached bathroom. Bedroom two has a queen bed and a single bed. The third bedroom has a full bed along with a single bed. There is a guest bathroom with a step-in shower. The deck is great for catching a sunrise while sipping your morning coffee.

There is a concrete area with a basketball goal for children to enjoy a basketball game. There is also an additional parking area for a boat or trailer.

Good vacation spot for the family.

This house was very nice for a week long stay. It was clean and just about everything you need for a household is there. The shower spigot was broken and spraying water when we got there but, one phone call and a few minutes later someone was there and it was fixed quickly. The stickers in the grass in some areas of the yard were bad. I would not recommend bare footing in the yard. Use of the lift would be nice. My mom and aunt who are in there 70s really could have used it. Hauling stuff up and down stairs is quite a pain but that comes with renting a elevated house. All in all this was a good experience and we would rent this house again.

Not a comfortable stay.

Issue from beginning air conditioner broken., refrigerator temperature was set very low took 24 to finally cool. Dirty pots I couldn’t clean and had to purchase to cook. One of the beds the foot broke. Some of the Furniture was not comfortable . The smell of Clorox was very strong as we walked in. Supposedly the house had just been cleaned before I arrived but it did not feel clean . Also if housekeeping had cleaned why did they not report air conditioner being broken. The temperature inside was 84 degree. The refrigerator was set 4 why would housekeeping leave at that stage if normal should be 5 and stayed that it would take 24 hours to cool . If rental office knew house was going to be used why would it not ready.

Adorable housr

Cute house. Close to beach. Clean. Had everything you would need except a can opener. Had a little issue with ants but that’s because of all of the rain. The mosquitoes were horrible all over town. But this house was perfect for our family.

Details

The grass wasn’t mowed. It has stickers everywhere so the kids can’t play and we kept bring it inside the house. Also the property should had been sprayed for mosquitoes before our arrival. Can’t even enjoy the outdoors so what was the point.

The beach was very busy over the weekend but not hard to find a spot. There were fireworks and music on the beach for the 4th. Casa Carmen was a nice place to stay. They had information on things to do. We had fun! We would definitely go again!
