Perfection!!!

Too many things to list. Loved ALL OF IT!!! My favorite part was sitting on the patio late in the afternoon and enjoying the breeze. Perfect spot for an afternoon nap. I’d go back tomorrow if I could.

South Padre Beach Blast

We loved our stay! The condo was everything that was advertised. The view of the pools & beach was lovely. We brought our dogs & they had a good time too as there are plenty of dog friendly grassy areas & the walk to the beach was easy! From grandkids to pets, the family action was a hit!

SPI first trip for grandson

We've stayed at various condos at Saida over the past 40 years and this unit was the nicest by far. Highly recommend this 3-2 with fully stocked kitchen, linens and comfortable beds. Views of the gulf are great!

Great trip with the kids

We had an amazing time at this location. Loved the amazing view along with the amenities of the resort. Having pools, tennis courts and even lunch options was just perfect. We only stayed for 3 nights and everyone wished we had booked longer. Great communication with owners. Would definitely recommend.

Great condo!

Our family had a wonderful time at the condo. Spacious and well equipped. The view is amazing. Heated pool was great. The only thing I would change is supplying more household supplies, like aluminum foil, garbage bags and dish soap, maybe upping the charge per night to cover those costs, that way your guests don’t have to buy 40 trash bags or an entire roll of foil for a 7 day stay. Would definitely stay here again and again.

Great Stay

The condo was great! A lot of things were made available to accommodate our time on the beach- chairs, wagon, towels, etc. It was clean and spacious. Great views! Only thing that could be better are the beds- they were a little on the hard side. Other than that, everything was perfect! Thanks for our stay!

Lovely family getaway on South padre Iskand

We had a great time at this property! The condo was well appointed with all of the usual toiletries and amenities as well as beach towels, beach chairs and a beach cart. This made packing a breeze! The Kitchen was great for prepping and cooking meals for the family. We enjoyed watching the fireworks just off the balcony one evening too! Highly recommend staying here! Thanks for a great stay!

Best customer experience I’ve had in a while

From the moment of booking to right before our stay, during our first night, half way through our stay and even after our stay Rod and Rosa went many extra mile to ensure our experience was nothing short of 100%. Between emails and texts communicating was not an issue ever! My daughter even forgot her AirPods in the condo after check out and they made sure we were able to get back inside for her to get them. The condo was very spacious and had more amenities then I expected. I even took my own hand mixer and Instant Pot with me only to find that the condo was stocked with those items and more. I highly recommend using their services and I will continue to use them again!

Nice Place to Stay for Two Couples!

The condo in the listing is very accurate. It is on the 9th floor elevators run frequently very rarely do you have to wait too long for the elevator it has a wonderful view! There's a large kitchen and dining area and a small living room perfect for I would say 5 to 6 people comfortably to sit on the couches. The master bedroom is great it has a fantastic view of the ocean a comfortable bed it's own bathroom and a big closet to store all your things. The owners were also very kind and left a buggy that you can carry your things down to the beach. There are plenty of towels and even extra chairs on the patio that you can take down to the beach. The kitchen oven refrigerator stove all worked great so it's a great place to cook your own meals pots and pans are a plenty there wasn't anything that we needed that they didn't have there. We ate most of our meals in the condo. There are restaurants and stores within walking distance on the street or if you prefer you can walk down the beach and get to some nice restaurants that way we did eat out 3 times. The location of the condo is great it's a very short distance out to the beach it was very busy but everybody was very respectful even when it was crowded 4th of July weekend I found it to be quite enjoyable. I give this condo five stars,however,I do need to mention that the second bedroom bed is extremely uncomfortable. Luckily it was just two couples so my husband and I were able to stay in the two twin beds.

About the host

Host profile image
I am an island person born and grew up in Puerto Rico. Marriage brought me to Dallas area but my body and soul always pulled me towards the ocean. I chose South Padre Island because the beaches and the ocean are the best of Texas.

Why they chose this property

Saida IV Condominiums is a building in the Saida Resort complex at South Padre Island,TX. The grounds and surrounding areas are beautifully landscaped and maintained. We were impressed with the fact that just steps away from the condo there are 3 nice swimming pools (one being heated), 2 Jacuzzi pools, and 4 beautiful, smooth surfaced tennis courts.The entire complex is very family friendly. In addition, there is a 24 hr. gate guard house and the entire complex has a security fence around it, making us feel very safe. We liked this lovely property from the first time we saw it! It's a very short walk to the beach from our condo on the 9th floor. There’s a fantastic view of the beach and the beautiful Gulf of Mexico from our place.
