Beautiful home, heated pool. Relaxing

We had a great stay and enjoyed everything about the rental.

The house was exactly as the pictures depicted! Beautiful coastal decor, and a nice heated pool on a canal! We were conveniently located to restaurants and other nearby cities! The beds were comfortable and the communication with management was great and they were easy to work with!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Pompano Beach and 610 Casa Maria. However, there were a number of issues that previous reviewers had noted about the property that was still a problem during our stay plus a couple of other issues we found.Highlights:- House located in easy to access, nice quiet area. No canal traffic behind the house or traffic on the street.- The house seemed adequately cleaned- Several comfortable areas to crash and watch TV. - The kitchen was a nice space to use- Having two master bedrooms with King-sized beds was a plus.- The best part by far was the heated pool.Issues:- The house smelled very strongly of mold, though only found one area we could see. - Others had reported that there are no bathroom vents/fans and that was indeed a very significant problem for moisture (likely the cause of mold too).- Others reported that patio furniture was covered in mildew or was in very poor condition. We found that to be the case and the furniture felt unusable as a result.- A primary cabinet in the kitchen had one of its hinges broken and it was unrepaired before our arrival (the door kept falling off)- The BBQ grill was barely holding together it was so badly rusted out; clearly, it had never been cleaned and was so full of grease that it caught fire while trying to use it. Also, no grilling utensils are available. - The back of the house had some open damage to the siding. Didn't impact our stay, but should be fixed.- Clearly, the house plumbing to the street needs attention. There were all sorts of warnings bout using TP safe for septic systems (which we heeded), but even with very careful use, the system drained very slowly and was easily stopped up. I don't think the renters should bear the burden of 'taking extreme care' when it just needs repair; albeit likely an expensive repair on the mainline to the sewer. While we enjoyed our week there despite these de

Great location, Awesome House.

This place was perfect. Pool was nice fishing was fun and house was clean.

Had a great time. Clean, remodeled I would definitely come back.

We were really impressed with how clean the house was when we walked into the house. It was the perfect house for our family. Would stay here again

House was great. All updated. Pool was awesome. Fished off dock. Beach real close and had lots of kids stuff, bathrooms, snack bar.

The house was nice and the pool was nice. The floors not so much. Dropped and expensive hair dryer on the floor and it completely broke. Outdoor furniture is terrible. Table legs are not stable and the chairs had mold or mildew on them. Pool light did not work. Could not do any night swimming because of the terrible lighting. The lighting was bad at night and there were a lot of roaches around and we could not go out after dark which was a complete bummer. If there was lighting, maybe it would have scared the roaches away. Also umbrellas were broken and was really no way to get any shade. They did replace one. The guy who installed it must not have done so correctly because once the wind picked up as we were all sitting at the table, the umbrella came out and the end of the pole hit my daughter in the face. Little disappointing because our attraction of this place was the outdoor space. Pictures must be old.

Clean, comfortable and perfect for relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: * Sent workmen to house unannounced and with door access code* Workmen were there to fix code violations which owner denied but workman and town validated* For the price of the rental, it was missing many kitchen essentials* Several maintenance issues including loose umbrella that flew off table stand and was never fixed properly during 2 1/2 month stay* Rented for many years in SoFL without issues. There are a lot of other reputable owner to rent from vs ValGal

Perfect getaway house with all the amenities.

Extremely clean and in a very quiet neighborhood. Great water pressure in the master shower. 10 min from beach and great restaurants. Less than 20 min from FLL airport. Very easy check in/out process. Really nice backyard, pool area right on a dead end canal. Only disappointment was the $40 charge to use the BBQ, especially after renting the house for 5 nights. We had to get our own propane tanks.

Stayed over christmas and it was all super clean immediately as we walked in. Gorgeous property and amazing view from the pool. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

We were pleased by this home! Everything was perfect, cozy, and convenient. From the open floor plan, then the perfect kitchen and let’s not forget the dock for fishing and the perfect warm pool! We would 100% rent this home again! I would highly recommend this home for your next vacation because you will not be disappointed!

Loved the location and waking up every morning looking out at the boats going by

The house is clean, newly remolded, and great location, but few issues need to be addressed. The air conditioning system can not keep the back of the house (in closed porch area) cool nor is there any ac vents there. During the heat of the day in late July the room temp were mid-eighty degrees plus high humidity. We called ValGal about the issue, they sent a AC guy to the house. He looked at the house and told me that the room needed an ductless unit installed to keep the back of the house cool. I followed up with ValGal in the afternoon. The lady told me that she would get back to me after she spoke with her manager. The next communication I got from them was 12 days later asking what time we were checking out. Since the master bed room is next to this enclosed room and has closet door between the two rooms the heat/humidity was uncomfortable to sleep in. To make the best of our vacation I purchased an expensive potable AC unit to keep the back of the house cool (which I asked ValGal if they had one before). Additionally, the bathrooms do not have vents, so that adds to the cooling problem. The master bed room has two sliding doors with no locks also gaps between door and wall. The cabinets around the dish washer develop condensation while running the dish washer. The silverware holder started growing mold after our first week in the house do the condensation/humidity in the cabinets. An safety fence should be install at the sea wall for guest with young children and also fix the safety ladder on the dock. The towel holder in the master bath fell of the wall since it was stuck to the wall with double sided sticky tape. The cameras on the pool deck made my wife uncomfortable. The Tv's-only the master bedroom has local station cable and the rest of the house has Rowko tvs that are not set up and a pain to deal with.

We enjoyed every minutes of our vacation in this beautiful home. Thank you very much for that precious time we've spent.

I will not take away the fact that the house was very nice and very clean except a issue that we had in one of bathrooms. Had to fix ourselves because couldn’t get in touch with anyone. The problem that we had was no communication at all. We had questions about TV’s that we emailed in the morning and never received any response. Several emails were sent out and no response. There was an after 5pm number to call we did the person told us to email the problems. We did no response. On that second day we were gone for the day only to return and found someone had been in the house without any heads up with all our belongings, valuables, cash etc. Someone had come to fix TV’s and left them worse then they were. Very upset about that. We felt very violated. Never in all the years I have rented has this happened! Another email was sent out NOTHING. Then I get an email Sorry your emailed was going to spam period. Nothing was addressed. This left us very unsettled vacation! Also, not happy about the cameras. We are good people but felt uncomfortable with cameras on us at the pool area!!
