Needs Some Major Attention

This was our first time to the island. I will have to say we have stayed in several VRBO's in the past and we have been lucky, I have never had to leave a bad review until now. This house was in a great location, however not at all what we expected. It needs a major DEEP CLEAN!! From the time we walked in, the house felt very dirty. The towels and bedding all smelled, we washed every thing when we got their, the sheets on the top bunk had a nasty stain on it. The bath towels all need to be replaced. There is dust everywhere. There is black mold / mildew on the celling in the bathrooms. The kitchen sick facet is broken, there is mildew and mold in the showers as well. Shower bar is broken it was laying in the shower floor when we got there. The outdoor furniture is extremely worn, the living room furniture is dirty and needs to be cleaned. The manager and owners were great at communicating, however for amount of money we paid for this house, we were really disappointed. I would highly suggest to bring your own beach chairs and wagons. The stuff that has been left is pretty worn out and broken. This did not feel like a vacation home that we could relax in.

Walk to the Beach!

House was big and spacious for my whole family. Pool and bar area were very spacious and nice. Hosts were very communicable from the very beginning. The beach is half a block down the street with a wooden deck entrance. So many restaurants, shopping centers and even went to the waterpark. Loved the ample parking for 4 vehicles. Thank you for the stay.

Great location

The Destination Constellation was exactly what the pictures were provided. Great location, three minute walk to the beach. Pool in back was a great feature, kids spent most of their time there. Enjoyed our time there. One recommendation would be to provide, simple things in the kitchen, salt, pepper, cooking oil, coffee or pods. If you stay you’ll have to provide all needed supplies for cooking. Other than that it was a great place. Would recommend it for a great stay in South Padre Island.

Exactly as described

After having issues with some past VRBO homes, this house was a breath of fresh air. Clean, roomy, close to the beach, and of course the outdoor pool and bar area was the place to be. The owners were very easy to work with and they were very courteous. They made this experience very easy for us. Perfect location, you can't go wrong with this house.

About the host

Hosted by Gerald & Kathy Magee

Host profile image
We are both from northern Missouri. We had moved many times in our married life but all within the Midwest, working and raising our family. We both retired in 2007 after full career's and knew we wanted to move to a warm climate. The question was where. Over the next couple of years of traveling to several southern states we concluded that we wanted Texas to be our home. Neither of us had ever visited South Padre Island and our first thoughts were a lake home. We spent two different vacations touring Texas. As we traveled further south we finally ended up in the valley and stayed several nights on the island while traveling through the valley. By the time we had to go back to Missouri, we realized we had found the place we were looking. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the fishing, the easy-going island life all was perfect for what we were looking.
Gerald and Kathy have owned a home on South Padre Island for over eight years. Gerald in retail business for 40 years and Kathy in customer service the majority of her career, they know how valuable customer service and referrals are to make a business successful. It is our goal that we provide families and guests with the most relaxing and beautiful environment possible. We operate by the principle that vacation home owners must create an island home setting that they would want to live in themselves and be proud to share it with family and friends. If it is not good enough for family and friends, then it is not good enough to lease. We would be proud for any of our friends or family to stay at either Destination Constellation or Destination Coral Cove.
The decision to purchase Destination Constellation came with great consideration for our visitors to SPI. We have worked diligently to provide a clean, safe, and colorful environment for your family and guests to enjoy.
We look forward to accommodating your needs.
Gerald and Kathy Magee

Why they chose this property

We bought Destination Constellation because it is located on the same street which we live, only two doors down. Constellation Drive is one of the nicest streets on the South Padre Island. Constellation is approximately two miles from the Queen Isabella Causeway, far enough away from the heavier traffic during high season to remain a relatively calm neighborhood. There are only about ten permanent residents on East Constellation Drive. Many of the remaining units are vacation homes for the owners. There are no multi-story condominium units on our street. Destination Constellation is conveniently located in walking distance to so many amenities. Within minutes, guests can walk to the Wanna Wanna Bar, Palm’s Resort, Blackbeard’s Restaurant plus multiple other restaurants, golf cart rental, post office, convenience stores. There is a sunset view of the Laguna Madre and on many calm days and evenings, guests can hear the waves turning over on the beach and smell the sea mist from the Gulf waters. Easy access to the beach was a number one priority. At the end of East Constellation is Aquarius Circle Beach Access #18, only a a couple minute walk from Destination Constellation to paradise. Yet when returning from that day on the beach or other activities, we believe that you have another unique taste of paradise around the pool and backyard of Destination Constellation.
Destination Constellation will feel like your home away from home for your family and guests. Whether playing with family in the waves at the beach or relaxing in the hot-tub that overlooks and flows into the pool, the environment at your beach get-away will create beautiful memories.

What makes this property unique

Formally a duplex, the home has now been transformed into a four bedrooms with two full baths and a half bath next to the pool. The kitchen is fully stocked and the wet bar is ready for the bartender to go to work for families to retreat to their own private area to rest and relax. A washer/dryer unit has been provided for your convenience.

We are excited about the wide open concept to provide a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home that can accommodate up to 14 guests It is perfect for large families traveling together. There is room for each family member to have their own space inside or gathering together in the great room or enjoy gathering to relax under the covered patio and outdoor pool area.

The kitchen is complete with granite counters as well as all of the appliances, equipment, and cooking amenities/utensils needed to prepare that special island meal for your family and friends.
