We could not have possibly envisioned a more amazing wedding ceremony than the one officiated by DM Williams the morning of October 15, 2011. The Casa Del Mar beach was transformed into a perfect setting for our sunrise ceremony with a beautiful flower pathway to a gorgeous heart sculpted into the beach sand. Words cannot express how special we felt.
The pictures taken captured cherished moments during our ceremony and are absolutely priceless! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the photo album we received shortly afterward. The digital copy of the pictures provided a fun slide show during our celebration which was such a treat. Cherished memories!
Casa Del Mar staff feels like extended family with the care and the attention given to our special day! A sincere “Thank you” to everyone who made our day so memorable. You are forever in our hearts and memories.

This family picture was taken in 1991 of six families that began their adventure with Casa Del Mar in 1977 when Elmer and Lavern Perry stopped by and fell in love with the place. They stayed that year and more of the family started coming each year after that. This picture is of six families that are all related and are all from four siblings from Mrs. Lucille Cross (the beautiful gray haired lady in the center of the picture). Many of them are married and have children of their own. Mr. Williams and the staff have been a great blessing to all of us through the years. They do a wonderful job to make us all welcome.

Thanks for everything,

I have been coming to Casa Del Mar for almost 30 years. As a teen, I traveled here from Baltimore with my family during the 1980’s. This year I brought my new bride, Megan, here for our honeymoon. DM and his staff go above and beyond to make sure we relax and enjoy ourselves year after year. Each time we visit, we marvel at the gorgeous plants and exotic flowers that make the grounds of Casa Del Mar truly unique. The sand guitar was built over the course of two days in mid August of 2011. The shell accents and plenty of food coloring provided the finishing touches.

February, 2007 was our first visit to Casa del Mar and we just love it. Everything is so peaceful and the kids are having a great time. The beach is great, the shells, the weather, the heated pool.....everything.

Bruce, Zachary and Nicholas from Dubuque, Iowa

We have been coming to Casa del Mar for 6 years and we can always rely on a great vacation....no surprises! The staff is wonderful and reliable. We like the fact that there are only two stories and no elevators like some high rises. Everything is so convenient here....we feel like family. We have made many friends and simply love the social atmosphere when anyone can enjoy the gathering by the pool to watch the beautiful sunsets. For the amenities Casa del Mar offers, it is very affordable.

Casa del Mar is a very good location for sea bird watching. We’ve taken a lot of photos, especially of pelicans because in front of the resort they are near at the waterfront. Not often do you have the opportunity to stay so extremely close by the gulf of Mexico in a quiet and beautiful apartment. Also the sunsets are wonderful.

We visited Casa del Mar for the first time in February 2009. We had a wonderful family vacation in the Longboat area and just made our reservation to return to Casa again next year. Casa is fantastic - with wonderful people, beautiful grounds, a big clean heated pool, world-class sunsets and a spotless beach only steps away! It's the perfect place for a warm, relaxing family vacation.

Conner celebrates every single birthday at Casa del Mar! All 11 of them! He says he likes the beach and swimming pool, tennis courts and bike riding. He promises to be back next year with mom, dad and grandparents for a warm spring break from winter.

Conner Campbell from Greenwood, Indiana

My wife and I have been coming to Casa del Mar since 2002 except for the year Daniel was born. We love the beach and the sea. Everyone is so friendly here and it is a child friendly place also. Fishing was fun and we caught 21 good size Blue fish right from the shore. The weather was great, the staff was courteous and the accomodations are so close to the pool and beach

Steve, Daniel and Louise from London, England

Our first vacation at Casa del Mar was in 1988 and we just love it. We enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, the friendly people, everyone seems to know everyone. We will definitely keep coming back.

We first visited Casa del Mar when thirty years ago I was five years old. We used to drive down from Columbus, Ohio piled in my parents' station wagon. We kept coming until college arrived and my brothers and I scattered to different cities and diferent agendas.

Once we all started our own families, we started coming to Casa del Mar once again. Our own children are experiencing the joy of the gentle gulf breezes, the warm swimming pool, well maintained tennis courts, the beautiful landscaping, learning to catch lizards, and just having fun with the family. My youngest is now five years old - I think she's having just as much fun as I did when I was her age.

My family and I have visited Casa every year since I was a young boy.  I have so many wonderful memories, and this year, I was lucky enough to make my most special memory of all;  I proposed to the girl of my dreams, Kimberly, on the beach of Casa del Mar.  We will always cherish our special night and look forward to coming back for many years to come.  Thank you for making our night so special.

Frank and Kim from Louisville, Kentucky

We have been coming to Casa del Mar on Longboat Key for a long time. We have been to places in Naples and Marco Island but this is our favorite! We love the proximity of the condo to the beach and really enjoy the long stretch of coast line to walk and jog on. Everything is right here.

Kyle, Regina and Juliana from Ann Arbor, Michigan

Longboat Key is one of the prettiest places in Florida and Casa del Mar is beautiful. There are so many kinds of flowers as well as some lemon and grapefruit trees. There's even a cotton tree. We come here several times a year and we really appreciate their flexible rental system which allows us to arrive on days other than Sunday. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Longboat Key has no shortage of restaurants but many nights we prefer not to go out so we'll cook dinner on the picnic deck gas grills.

They are located directly on the Gulf of Mexico so we have seen some breath taking sunsets. Sunsets at Casa del Mar become a real social event and we have made so many friends over the years.

Wayne and Jay from Louisville, Kentucky

Our stay at Casa del Mar has been superb. From an extremely well appointed Condo to extraordinary views and spectacular sunsets. The staff was friendly and attentive to ensure our stay was pleasant and comfortable. Dolphin watching, sea shell hunting, gulls, sandpipers and the smell of night blooming jasmine...mother nature at her best!

Bill and Marilyn from Lombard, Illinois

Memories are made at Casa Del Mar. My memory scrapbook of growing up always happened at Casa. I have been coming to Casa with my family since I was in 6th grade. We have never missed a year. My future husband started joining my family while we were in college. I became engaged at Casa and we spent our honeymoon there. Now, my husband and I have the opportunity to start another book of memories with our son Blake. How exciting to watch him enjoy the pool, the beach and the sunsets

Deborah and Blake from Louisville, Lentucky

We have been coming to Casa del Mar with our family since 1982. First with our parents and now with our own children as well. It is the perfect place for kids since the pool is only steps away from our condo and the ocean. It's fun to see many of the same people each year and the condos are great. We love to cook on the gas grills which are so convenient. Golfing is also a fun thing we do every year. We make our vacation at Casa del Mar a family re-union whenever we can.

Randy, Rick, Mason, Jack, Avery, Nick, Madison, Kaylee, from Westmont, Illinois and Holland, Michigan

The friends we've made, the magnificent sunsets we've enjoyed, the concern and caring of DM and his staff are second to none. Then there is the Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful gardens combining to make Casa del Mar a perfect place to relax. These are just a few reasons why we have been coming here for more than 30 years.

Don and Jeanne from Hampshire, Illinois

The friendliness of the staff and management add to the pleasure of our stay. They welcome all newcomers with such congeniality that one quickly becomes part of the Casa del Mar family. The Units are beautifully appointed and maintained and we look forward to many happy reunions with our new found friends in the years to come.

Bob and Rosalind from Scituate, Mass.

We're very particular about where we vacation and Casa del Mar was everything we had hoped for. Once you come here you will definitely come back. Everyone is so friendly and everything is so clean. We love the size of the heated pool and it is much larger than many places we have stayed over the years. The management is so accommodating and really makes you feel welcome .

Charlie and Kathe from Pittsburg, Pa

We have traveled a great deal and been to many places but there is no other place where we can get this wonderful location and overall level of accommodations. The management staff is outstanding and the grounds are very clean. Everyone is very friendly and social and we have made good friends here.

Jerry and Jo from Cape Cod, Massachussetts

It has been 30 years since we started coming to Casa del Mar with our children. We first stayed at the Holiday Inn until we noticed this two story, beautifully maintained project on the Ocean. The complex is not too big like some which appeals to us. We love walking on the beach with our feet in the water. We also really enjoy the gardens. It just so peaceful and quiet.

Claude and Suzanne from Orford (Quebec), Canada

We have been coming to Casa del Mar on Longboat Key for 16 years and everything is just right here. When we arrive it's like coming home. We just love our long, peaceful walks on the beach and the beautiful landscaping just makes you feel good. Management and the support team take a personal interest in our needs and comfort and we've never been disappointed.
