Very nice place

We were able to check in earlier than scheduled, the place was very clean and in a good location, 5 min walk to beach. I liked that it has a shower outside so you can rinse off the sand, the pool was small but good enough for me and my kids, the water was kind of hot so idk if it had heater or beacuse of weather. The apartment had a stackable washer and drier wich was nice, one of the bathrooms had no cold water only hot so that was the only thing I didnt like.

We had several issues upon arrival with lack of communication until the Manager returned our calls 5 days later but he resolved them to our satisfaction. I have a couple suggestions that the unit could use please. 1. a 4 slice toaster 2. a rectangle table instead of the round one-was just too small(we couldn't play our mexican train as the table was too small & not enough elbow room. Thank you

Very Comfortable

My husband and I stayed at this condo for 2 months and really enjoyed it. The location is very convenient as it is close to the beach access (1/2 a block away), and within easy walking distance to restaurants and businesses. The gate to the pool is 5 steps from the front door, and the patio in the back was a nice place to sit and read and then grill dinner. We had everything we needed in this condo with the exception of the grill. We brought our own. The beds are very comfortable, and we slept well every night. The only negative was that the floor was dirty. It looked like it had been swept but not scrubbed for a very long time. Sadly, we tried to book for next year, but we couldn't afford the price increase.

Perfect place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was perfect! Very clean, had what we needed, the pool was awesome, super close to the beach and quiet! The only complaint I would have is the people above us we could hear running/walking around. They had kids and at 7am we could hear them running all over the place, but we would definitely stay here again! Oh and we got locked out but they got us back in pretty quickly! Our door code got deleted from the system somehow and they had to get us another code but it only took 20-30min and we were back inside! Glad I had my phone to call them!

Beautiful family friendly stay

We loved how spacious the Condo was, extra clean, well stocked with kitchen items and towels! It was also very easy to get to the beach just a simple walk away. The beds were very comfy and everything was very well kept! Our kids loved it as well! Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful Stay

Winter Texans for 3 months and thoruoghly enjoyed our stay. Moon Dancer 3 is perfectly located mid way on SPI and is walking distance to the gulf beach. The condo itself was clean, tastefully decorated,, very comfortable (great sleep due to the very nice beds) and outfitted with the essential kitchen equipment to cook as little or as much as you desire. It was the perfect rental for our extended stay, big enough to have visitors and small enough to be cozy without feeling cramped. A heartfelt thank you to the owners for sharing their little gem of a condo.

South Padre Island Mini Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved my stay at this Air BnB. The place looked exactly as pictured and described. The location was perfect. Checking in and out was a breeze. The only things I didn’t like were the ice maker in the freezer didn’t work and I didn’t have any cleaning supplies for the bathtub after our return from the beach. All restaurants and attractions were within a 5-8 minute drive from the Air BnB. I will definitely book this stay for my next vacation to this location.

Property was exactly as showed with good location to everything around. Good if taking a few days to just relax and enjoy South Padre. Only thing I'd recommend is TV in rooms.

Great time. Would return.

Pros: Great location. We just walked down to beach access 11 every morning, and also loved the proximity to the pool. Beds and pillows were very comfortable! Really appreciated having access to towels. TV worked well. Kitchen had everything we needed dishes/utensils/pots & pans. Property manager was responsive to question about recycling facility, which unfortunately wasn't feasible for us. Definitely would stay here again. Cons: We didn't mind hearing steps from the apartment above, but if you're sensitive to that it may be bothersome. Living room chairs weren't super comfortable. Finally pulled out the sleeper sofa to have more comfortable space for all four of us and left that out the whole time. But, it starts folding in on itself if someone isn't at the foot of the bed. Our youngest fell into the hole in the back of the sleeper, but he mostly thought it was fun. Only other thing I'd mention is that we had a couple of small roaches, which we saw in other parts of the island and maybe should be expected in this climate?
