My family enjoyed the condo, perfect view and access to the beach. Nice beach accessories which we enjoyed, we would not have thought of all that was available to us to use.Nicely stocked with necessities to get started.
We had a great stay and would book this rental again. The room was nice and clean, well stocked, and the building very quiet with easy access to the heated swimming pool and the beach. Thank you for a great family vacation!
Perfect place for my family to spend a long weekend! The condo was well equipped with everything we needed and more (beach chairs, umbrella, toiletries). The ocean view was beautiful and the location was very peaceful and convenient.
Nice clean property
Kid friendly
Beach/Additional items in condo was a plus
Quick walk to the beach
Overall a great stay for family with kids!
We really enjoyed our stay!
Rosanna was more than accommodating, the condo was set up so well with everything you’d need for your family beach trip! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, playing cards around the table, and winding down on the balcony watching the waves. We would stay here over and over! The grounds were also kept up nicely & the jacuzzi nice and hot for a windy/chilly day.
Property staff was very friendly and Rosanna responded timely when there was a question. Beds were comfy and her place was beautiful. The property was very quiet and it was a peaceful relaxing stay.
This is a fantastic property within a few steps of the beach. Rosanna is very good at communication and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend this beach condo!
Nice condo. Pool was pretty crowded some days but maybe was a busy week. Security folks are so nice!! Host was very responsive. Master bedroom was a bit weird with sliding doors but you could see in a bit and blocked out zero sound. Balcony off master room didn’t have direct access which we also thought was a bit strange. Beautiful island though. Ocean views from the balcony.
Hosts were very thoughtful in having items available that we would need or just extra for pampering. The place was comfortable, clean, great location and friendly neighbors. Would definitely stay again!
The place was lovely, clean and the location was amazing! The best part was how wonderful the hosts are. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and our group comfortable.
We loved our stay! The owner was amazing with communication and very thoughtful! We had never been to South Padre Island and we couldn’t have asked for more! Secure location, steps away from the beach! We would definitely visit again!
Overall the stay was good. We needed to buy more toilet paper and left it at the condo. Adding mirror in twin beds room would be nice. Also, in the bedroom closer to the pool, move the mirrors up from behind the table lamps.
We really enjoyed this apartment. The space was very clean and well kept. The closet of beach toys came in very handy and we would for sure say again.

The condo was perfect for our stay. Rosanna thought of everything we could possibly need and was available if needed. We lived the proximity to the beach and our balcony offered great views. I would highly recommend- we had a marvelous experience!
