I booked Casa Del Agua for my elderly mom and I to stay 3 nights on a non-holiday weekend to have a nice relaxing short vacation. The house is decorated nicely on the inside and we had all of the supplies we needed, but the overall structure did not feel very sturdy, especially in the strong winds (30+mph winds) we had that weekend. The high winds were rocking the house and the front door howled the entire time due to the wind. The first night my mom had a difficult time sleeping because one of the windows in the back bedroom did not have blackout curtains so she had lights shining through. The 2nd night, I was woke up between midnight and 3 AM from a group of teenagers two doors down partying on their patio which I had to call the Brazoria County Sherriff's department for twice. BTW, Surfside officers do not work off nominals hours so didn't feel very safe knowing that law enforcement was so far away. We were so tired at that point, we opted to leave early and forego staying our 3rd night. We also had an issue with getting the dish to come on the TV. A previous tenant had apparently switched the controls on the back and put the dish cable in the computer HDMI slot, which I figured out myself after they sent a repair person out who could not figure it out. Last, the windows in the front bedroom are a fire hazard. The large windows do not open and the only window that could open is blocked by the bed, so in a fire emergency, it could be difficult for someone to find their way out. So our vacation was not ideal, especially for the amount of money that we paid in off season on a non-holiday weekend. I spoke to someone at the management company about the disturbance two doors down and not feeling like we could stay our last night and they did not offer any type of refund. If you want to party and do not mind a lot of wind noise and disturbances, this place might be for you, but if you are looking to relax look elsewhere.
