First timer in Padre
Overall good location and easy to get around in town. Great views from the balcony. If I were to go to South Padre again would stay here. The place could use a deep cleaning.

Clean accommodations and amazing location
Overall excellent experience. Amazing short walk to the beach and a quiet neighborhood. The only thing I would have liked more is a different living room couch/chairs for more comfort. They look great but really are not very comfortable to sit long and watch some TV after a long day at the beach. The beds were comfy, bathrooms were nice and the kitchen is big and great for cooking meals so we didn’t have to eat out as much.

Hidden Gem of SPI
Everything was great for our stay and the condo had ample space and was well stocked in the kitchen for anything we wanted to cook. Having 2 baths was a real treat as well. The location works well and has parking for 2 vehicles. If someone has 2 vehicles in #7 parking spot it can get a little tight to get into the driveway due to a Palm tree by the street. All in all, a nice , quiet, comfortable place with a block of the beach and in close proximity to everything in the entertainment district. 100% Recommend

The proximity to shops & restaurants & off course the main reason is how close the beach is to the home.

Weekend getaway
This was the best stay we have had in South Padre and will not only recommend but will definitely book here again. It was just a short visit for my husband and I without kids so definitely more than enough room for comfort. The additional bedroom was untouched but having an additional bathroom was perfect. Plenty of kitchen space and a full fridge were great amenities as was the washer/dryer! It was walking distance to everything we wanted and the beach access was not far at all. Definitely a great place to stay.

Improvement needed
Overall, we enjoyed the location and found the space to be nice. However, there were bugs in the kitchen and restrooms that cast a dark cloud over our stay. There were also some basic repairs that should have been taken care of including missing drain plugs and loose screws holding the handle plate for the tub.

Across the street from the Beach
This was a nice top floor unit. We were able to make dinner and breakfast each day. The two bathrooms and the washer and dryer was nice to have. The second bedroom does not have blinds, so the sun was bright in the room each morning. We had an issue with bugs in the kitchen, but someone was sent out within hours to spray. Although the pool is very small, it was nice to have when the kids wanted a break from the beach.

Didn't enjoy being upstairs. But otherwise it was a good place close to beach with a pool . The outdoor shower by the pool very helpful. Shade on the front porch in the heat of the day. Really nice place.

Worst place ever
You can't sit on the couch because it is so broken down. You have to leave the unit if you use the dryer because it is so loud. The handle fell off of the oven. The stains on the carpets were gross and the last straw were the cockroaches. It was truely horrible.

Super clean property
The check in was a little confusing since the instructions say there's an electronic entry keypad, but there isn't. Would suggest clarifying that with property management. When I tried to call, they were not answering. Eventually we figured out the code for a manual lock box. Once inside, the condo is perfect. Super clean, plenty of pillows and towels. I appreciate the individual pot scrubbers and dish soap and bath soap and shampoo - very hotel like for being sanitary. Plenty of kitchen utensils and pots and dishes to use if needed. Wish there was some coffee or a Keurig on the property, but no big deal. Would definitely stay here again.

Would not recommend.
When we first got to the condo, we were really surprised with how cute it was But after a few hours, things started to go downhill. That evening, when I was cleaning up after dinner, I saw several roaches on the countertops and on the floor. I thought maybe it was a one time thing so we killed them and went to bed. One of the girls woke up to get some water at night and they were all over the kitchen. I texted for someone to come remedy this situation and a guy came pretty quickly. He sprayed for the roaches and also fixed a fan in one of the bedrooms that was broken. They were good for about 24 hours but the next night they were out again. I texted the same number and they said they would Let the correct people know but we never heard back from them. Also that same night the AC got up to 80° and I texted several times and they told me they were waiting on a response from management. They never got back to us and we had to sleep in that 80° I would’ve recommended this place, but it all went downhill very fast and even though the first time we had a problem, they were quick to respond after that we just seem to get the runaround. Make sure you read the description and if somebody says they believe it because it was true in this case.
