Casamare - 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Soundside - Emerald Isle!

Dirty bedspread in one room. Outdated kitchen and utensils. Found 3 roaches (bedroom, bathroom) 1 in kitchen cupboard. No decent coffee pot. No garbage disposal? Limited dishes, no salad or serving bowls. No potholders, dish liquid, pot scrubber. Road noise. No washer or dryer. Must pay for pool table use. My son experienced severe allergies in bedroom, sick the entire 3 days. Don’t know if this was due to mold. Definitely not worth the amount we spent. No callback from host or manager.

The fact that the property was pet-friendly and there was no additional fee is one of the reasons we chose this property. There were 5 adults coming just for a short weekend to attend a wedding. I wouldn't want to stay at the property long-term for a few reasons. First, the beds were not comfortable, and those pillows..shew! At least not in the room we stayed in. The Jack n Jill bathroom showerhead was so low that my son, who is 6'1, had to duck way down to wash his head. To put it into perspective, I am 5'5, and it was perfect for me. Second, only 1 fan out of 4 bedrooms, and the living area worked. The batteries in the remotes were so corroded. I always like having a fan running on us in the middle of the night, no matter what the outside temperature. Third, and I say this, I get that every place has bugs, etc. My husband and I live in Florida, and I am very used to the fact that many places have Palmetto bugs, aka, roaches. There was a very large one that decided he was thirsty in the middle of the night and wanted a drink from our water bottle sitting on the counter. Thank goodness, I didn't see any of the German ones, they are NOT good ones. Lastly, the fact that the pool table cost 2.00 per game was very disappointing. I get that owners don't want to dump a bunch of money into a rental, but this one needs a bit of a makeover. To the owners, spend a bit of money, and use the write-off. All in all, again, it was good for a two-night stay, and the price was spot on!

The house was in a great location. We were able to walk to the beach easily and enjoyed a peaceful area with fewer people since the beach access does not have parking nearby. The listing says 3 bedrooms but it actually has 4, which we didn’t need. Everything was clean and comfortable. Our family enjoyed the pool table as well. The kitchen had the essentials but not much beyond just the basics. We would definitely return to this spot!
