My parents picked this community for its spacious apartments. They are independent right now but the community lets you age in place as your care needs increase which was different form the other communities we visited.

I recently visited a fantastic place with my mother and sister, and was impressed by the attentive staff and lovely Spanish architecture. The amenities were great, with lots of social activities for residents, yummy food, private rooms, and on-site healthcare services. It felt like a beautiful hotel from the early 20th century combined with modern conveniences. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for excellent service and quality accommodation.

I absolutely love it here! The people who work here are friendly and accommodating, the food at the Calypso restaurant is very good, and there is almost at least one thing every day that is on the activities calendar that I am interested in. Plus the grounds are so beautiful - there is even a pool! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable retirement experience.

I visited this facility

La Vida Del Mar was a little too small and a little old. We're not positive about it. It was a very small property. There's no open space or anything like that. The apartments were reasonably spacious because it's a small facility. We saw two-bedroom units. They have various kinds of activities. They have card rooms, a small swimming pool, and an art room. They're relatively small, but for the population they have, it's sufficient.

Our visit at La Vida Del Mar was satisfactory. The apartments were very nice, very accommodating, and very suitable with a nice kitchen. Their price was very comparable and very acceptable. Their location was a little more difficult to get into in traffic.

The one that I liked the most was La Vida Del Mar. The entryway, the lobby and the common area, all seemed together and it was really nice. It was the best one we've seen. The rooms were in good size, but they didn't have any available. I talked to Lyn, the marketing or the sales director who handled the people coming in and out. She's like the boss and she was terrific. She's really good. I liked and trusted her. We met a friend of ours who was living there and she was very happy. Everybody see…
