Perfect Location

This rental was even better than imagined. Very clean, comfortable beds. Loved the deck and watching the dolphins in the bay. Walked to a lot of local restaurants. Crossing over to South Padre Island couldn’t have been easier. It was a wonderful property. Onsite parking, quieter neighborhood minus one very loud neighbor one night of our stay. Loved the decor, stay, you won’t be disappointed!

No words can describe the place!

Everything was perfect! I usually don't leave any feedback for anything but this place I have to say something. My family loved this place didn't want to leave. Very clean and spacious. So calm and relaxing. I was a little bit concerned that the place was a bridge away from the SPI so I thought it won't be so convenient but actually it was the best choice. We could avoid the traffic and crowds, so saved a lot of time. We had a thermostat pin number issue in midnight but the management office was responding to us right away and try to help us out how to solve the problem. They weren't being mean even though it's late night. They tried their best to assist our comfort. Really appreciate them. Tv and the sound system was awesome. We played classic music in the morning with a cup of coffee in the perfect bayview. Verything was a few steps away. A few suggestions: It would be nice if they put a hairdryer and a few more blankets. We would definitely come back for our next visits.

Location and property manager awesome

We had no internet at the rental when we arrived, on a Sunday, and Jake responded within an hour and bought over new equipment next morning. This is customer service. We appreciated and celebrated the location. Could walk to two incredible restaurants.

Review of 404-3 Tarvana

We all loved being right on the water. Enjoyed watching the dolphins and other activities. Home was clean, well-furnished and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable. Only negative (which we knew when we booked it) was the stairs. Climbing 2 flights of stairs was somewhat difficult for 70 plus year olds but I guess the exercise was good for us. Location is great with several little shops and great restaurants nearby. We went to several restaurants on the island but our favorites were within walking distance of the condo.

Unit review

The unit was super clean and the layout of the house was perfect for our needs of our group. The unit also had a nice deck at back of place where we had a nice view of the bay. Will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful!

Great location, perfect Floorplan, beautiful views and every single decor is perfect. The owner seems to have taken great pride in this place and did not spare a single thing! We even noticed crate and barrel dishes, made us feel at home! We are definitely coming back!

Great location

Overall the place was nice, the pictures lead you to believe there is a pier off the deck, there was not which was kind of a bummer. With that said the deck was nice. Aside from that and the AC not being able to be adjusted (73 in Texas summer is not cool enough) the floors were extremely dirty. At first we tried taking shoes off at the door to avoid sand in the house however our feet were black within minutes of arriving, socks were the same. Overall the functionality of the home was nice, the location just outside of South Padre was perfect, and we were able to walk to a few of our destinations.

Charming WaterView Getaway

This space was perfect for a family vacation. Space allowed you to gather together yet still enjoy privacy. Loved the water view from both the balcony access off the master bedroom and the patio outside living space. Loved the 3rd floor bedroom, which doubled as entertainment space. The house was well appointed yet comfortable. Appliances were up to date. It was easy to prepare and serve meals because the kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils, dishes and pots/pans. Every thing was quite clean with adequate supply of towels, extra pillows and blankets. Enjoyed being in walking distance to local shops, restaurants and sights like the Port Isabel lighthouse. Short ride across the causeway to get to South Padre Island. We all agreed that we want to come back next year. 🥰

Tranquil getaway

The location is so perfect. Great dining and shopping at Port Isabel are at walking distance. The property is clean and the views of the bay are so peaceful. This was our second time back, and we are already planning on returning soon.

Wonderful and relaxing

This place went beyond our expectations. We lucked out and got an early check in. The location was beautiful. Right on the water, walking distance to fun local souvenir shops, gorgeous historic light house, pier fishing on the longest pier in Texas, and just a short drive on the causeway to get to south padre. We will definitely be coming back with our kids. My husband and I didn't want to leave! The only negative thing was the parking. Kind of tight if you have a larger vehicle like we did, but other than that, this place was perfect!

Casa De Laguna Madre

Perfectly situated in Port Isabel; close to the fishing pier and many good restaurants. Unit looks new, is well maintained, and has plenty of space inside. Downstairs and master bedroom balconies look over the bay. A great find.

Beautiful condo. Walk to dinner

Condo has a neat location right on Laguna Madre. Beautifully appointed and comfortable. Great for our family with older teens. Wonderful decks to enjoy coffee, drinks and the views of the pier and bridge. Walk to Lighthouse and dinner at Pirates Cove and several other restaurants. It's more dialed back than SPI. Drawbacks were traffic noise from the bridge. We had trouble with the lockbox but property manager came right away. This is a Vacasa managed property and I think I paid double the handling fees by renting through vrbo.
