Perfect spot and condo

We were all very happy with the condo. It was clean and we'll stocked,except, there are no kitchen towels. Minor inconvenience that paper towels took care of. They provide alot of beach gear but no boogie boards. The pool and hot tub were always clean and enjoyable. The gulf was just steps away!

Gorgeous views

Unit is directly located across the beach and the views are spectacular. Unit is well maintained overall, seemed a little old but you get what you pay for. Host response was very quick when we let them know parking tags were missing. Only thing we didn’t like is that the lights don’t come on in any of the bedrooms. Other than that no complaints and would definitely pick it next time we visit.

Lovely spot on SPI

This was our first time in South Padre, and we loved it. The property is right on the beach, with a lovely ocean view and sunrise. A little work was being done on the beach when we got there, but it was cleaned and out of the way that night. The home was clean, with plenty of dishes and a full kitchen for cooking. There were no paper towels, so make sure you bring your own. The rooms were comfy, though the mattresses were a bit worn. Mine was some memory foam that cratered each night, so I had to change the side of the bed I was sleeping on. The wifi had to be reset several times, and the TVs were tiny. Otherwise, the location is fantastic, and the instructions were self-explanatory.

Family Getaway!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything overall was good. Weather was not the best. Out of our 5 day stay, we only had one full day of sun. Mother Nature for ya! The location of this condo was super convienent. However, parking could be a little tight if you drive a big vehicle and have to park underneath the facility. Another little note I’d like to add, although the cleanliness of the condo was good, we could tell during our arrival/stay that the floors had not been mopped.

Awesome Location

This condo is right on the beach so it makes trips there fast and easy. We did have a problem with the AC not cooling when we got there. It didn’t get fixed until the next day. That was the only issue we had. The condo was nice and clean. The balcony door in the main bedroom does not lock so they have a stick to use to keep it from opening. I think that should be a priority to get fixed. There is also only 3 lamps in main room to use for light and the one on the dresser wasn’t plugged in and a hassle to try to reach. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus. We would most likely stay again.

Pretty Nice!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice, clean space. Plenty of room for a family of four. The décor is quite dated, and the lighting is dim, but it is well-stocked with plenty of towels, pillows and bedding, as well as all the kitchen utensils you would ever need. Premium beach access -this condo is right on the beach. We loved opening the sliding glass doors and hearing the sound of the water from inside in the dining, kitchen, or living area, and the view is spectacular on the beach side. The only two things I would mention is the TV and lamp did not work in the "master" bedroom, and the advertisement said there were chairs available to take to the beach and there are not, so make sure to bring your own chairs and shade. There is a nice "toy" box with lots of things for the beach including mats. Overall we were satisfied.

Great Location

We’ve stayed at this property before and love it. This was our first time in this particular unit, which is managed by Vacasa and not some of other local management companies. The check in/out process is fully remote, you never see or speak to another person - just get a series of emails/texts with instructions. The unit was good, fantastic location steps from the beach. Beds are comfortable, no discernible noise from other units but we did hear noise from the street. The provided box fans were great for drowning out noise at night. Dishwasher does not work, as the soap compartment is fused shut. We were a party of five who preferred to eat in, so hand-washing dishes for six days was a little frustrating. There is a minimal supply of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, so be prepared to bring your own or make a run to the supermarket. We noticed ants in the kitchen on our first day but they disappeared after a few hours. Make sure you leave promptly by check out time, as the door codes are changed immediately at 10 am. Thankfully we were packed and loaded by then, else we might have been locked out. Despite some inconveniences, you can’t beat the location. Overall our stay was good.

Our stay was too short!

Arrived on Monday, left on Sunday and wished we had more time. With beautiful ocean views and being steps away from the beach the location was perfect. While the finishing is may not be the most updated, the unit was clean and that's the most important thing to us. It was also well equipped. The only negative was a DVD player that was not working. We had a rainy day near the end of our stay and so we wanted to watch a couple movies. Never the less we would not hesitate to stay here again.
