The house was beautiful and conveniently located and the pool was great but, furniture was broken, toilet was broke, no sofa bed as described and shown. No bikes as described. Needed outside rat problem taken care of. We would stay again if items were addressed.
5.0 / 5.0
House was amazing. Lots of rooms, kids room on top floor was perfect for our 8 year old. Location to beach was so great. 4 minutes golf cart ride was all it took. Only negative was that the appliances did not all work great. Ice machine didn't work, first floor bathroom kept running. There were no bikes like the listing said but the property manager did agree to reimburse us for rentals
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed a family vacation for 10 of us. The house has plenty of space. The alarms are annoying, but we understand why you have them. We loved the kitchen and grill. You have every dish that is needed to cook almost everything. The house was clean and well maintained.

Had a great time and plenty of space. With the additional guest house everyone had their own space but plenty of room for hanging out as well. Pool was great. Some of the extras like the pool table and ping pong were old and worn but did the job to occupy time.

12 Family members from 5 to 66 stayed 5 days and had the best time... there was plenty of room, games to play, and the heated pool was perfect for the cool nights. We had a great Christmas and made lots if memories.

The ease of checking in and the numerous text communications with important information was great. The follow up text to be assured we had found everything comfortable. Our family joining us were over whelmed with appreciation for the home and its location. Thank you for fulfilling a dream vacation. The space for all ten senior adults great. We Koved our visit.

This property was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect. They have this house supplied with everything you can think of. Only thing that needs to be checked out is the property golf cart. The golf cart ran fine from Friday to Monday. We didn’t get any use of it on Tuesday and Wednesday, I’m not sure what the issue was because we kept it on the charger but it wouldn’t even make it out of the neighborhood before it would die. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again myself. We loved it and enjoyed every second of our time there.

House was large enough for the entire family. We had everything we needed there and enough dishes to invite the US army for dinner:) family loved the pool and the pool table way more than I anticipated and we had the golf cart out the entire time. Loved our stay.
Thank you
2.0 / 5.0
Golf cart broke down in the middle of traffic, golf cart flat tire at the beach, pool lights worked the 1st night then never turned back on, cockroaches all throughout the house, middle floor twin bed held together by electrical tape (bed broke), refrigerator leaks water and we kept stepping into a puddle, alarm system on main door consistently went off in the day and middle of the night! House looks great but never again.. We beach house in Jax and we held the same expectations that our guest expect. This was a disappointment.

This house was very spacious and worked out great for having all our family in one spot. Had 10 adults children and 4 grandkids. Large family space and loved the area and amenities. Many items in the home need updated and fixed. The management was great. Loved having a golf cart and we even rented another one.

We began planning this trip in 2021. We wanted a place that offered lots to do for all ages and this place did not disappoint. The only bummer was the weather. But, the cold weather made the beach sunsets even more breathtaking. We made many memories!

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of seven adults and three kids stayed at El Casa Grande for six days over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's tough to find a rental house with enough space, good layout (rooms that fit each family group), large enough living and dining space for our group at a reasonable price, and this house was perfect for our needs. The living area is so spacious, we were able to hang out there around the pool table and play games sitting in the tv/living area. The location is 3/4 mile from the beach so adults who wanted to could walk, and it was an easy golf cart ride for the kids. There are plenty of restaurants and activities within a 10 minute drive. There were a handful of things in poor condition when we arrived, a broken fooseball table and pool cue, some faucets that would leak unless you got them exactly right, drains that all needed drain, and other issues in the same vein, but none of them really interfered with our enjoyment of the house. If you stay in the cooler months, definitely pay for the pool heat!

What a wonderful stay. A little chilly so we were not able to use the pool much. This place has so many amenities and creature comforts. Our family would love to stay here again.

This house was incredible! Great location to beach and other places- close enough to ride the bikes, which we loved. Beautiful neighborhood with great views. Clean & came fully stocked with just about anything you could need. Me and my group really enjoyed this house! Perfect amount of space and the heated pool was perfect!! 10/10 recommend!!

It was easy to book and they keep you informed. This house was definitely good for a family of all ages. There was things there for all even the babies. They had things for the pool and beach and kitchen fully equipped. We felt like home away from home. Clean and plenty of space. You just have to be ok with stairs to the other 2 floors up. No pest! Loved it!

The property management company was great. They were very responsive. It would have helped to have a binder in the home with all of the details like how to get to the beach, the clubhouse etc. The beach was far to walk with little kids. Highly recommend multiple golf carts if traveling with family.

Family Vacation
We did a family vacation for 16. House was perfect for the family. Everything was clean and easy to get around. Rented a extra six seater golf cart and it fit in the garage fine. Entire family had a blast. Hated to leave.

We had an amazing week here at El Casa Grande
Beautiful property with everything you would need for a family of 9 including 2 babies and a toddler. Communication was quick as we had a few questions at arrival. House was very clean. Kudos to your cleaning service. Door alarms were a plus. Helped us all relax more with the kiddos. We would highly recommend this property!

Stayed here as a group of 8 girls for a bachelorette trip! Beautiful house, pretty decent location, clean and comforting. Fair warnings.... the villa is extremely bright in the mornings with no curtains on the overhead window so sleeping in is not an option. Also, if its a full moon good luck falling asleep. Another fair warning..... this property has 4 door alarms for the pool! SO ANNOYING, LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, made me cry. Maintenance cant do anything about it so if you have MacGyver skills you should be fine. If not, get ready to be stressed out as soon as you walk in/out the door. Other than those two things we had a great stay!!

Beautiful Home
Our family loved our stay. The house was gorgeous and had plenty of room for all 9 of us. The heated pool was great and we also enjoyed having the golf cart to use. The kids got plenty of use out of the pool table. I liked that it was in a gated community and in good location to the beach. A few cons to note: the pool plaster needs to be re-done, the hot water runs out pretty fast, there are no spices in the kitchen so make sure to bring your own snd a couple other nit picky things. These are inconveniences but would in no way keep me fromrecommending this home. We did book during the off season so it wasn't as expensive but if we had paid the summer cost to stay i would expect the property to be top notch.

The house is everything as described. Extremely comfortable, clean, and welcoming home.
This house provided everything for all ages. All you is beach towels, toiletries, maybe clothes & dish soap, toilet paper & paper towels depending on how long you are staying.
Hiccup situation:
I felt like I had to prove that I was told that the pool will be heated before our arrival. I went above and beyond sharing emails. The reason why this was a big deal was because it takes a day or two for it to warm up and therefore loose time enjoying it when the beach is not an option.
The person I was working with I had never spoken to the person before and he was not professional until the last call when he apologize for how the communication was and the situation I was put in. My entire morning pulled me away from my family. Felt like he was negotiating with me when negotiating should never be on the table due to the proof I had in emails.
The women in the Glass Casa Vacation Rentals office are extremely nice, professional, and easy to talk to. I would only expect this type of treatment when a person spends over $5k for a home for the week. This is why I still gave 4 star
But overall the house is perfect for any family and the girls with Glass Casa Vacation Rentals go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as perfect, exciting, and memorable just like the house

Great for large families
This home was perfect for our family getaway. It has everything you need to accommodate multiple families with kids. There is plenty of places to sleep. Each person in my family had their own bed. The home is walking distance to the beach and in a nice quiet neighborhood.
