Mid Century treasure

We were a family of 7, multi-generations and this was the perfect house for us. We needed to be in Brownsville for a state track meet so staying in South Padre wasn't ideal. We found this gem on the historic Palm Blvd. Lots of living space for everyone and attention to detail with the amenities. The grounds were pictured as lush and green but the intense heat had taken a toll. It would have been great to have the tree debris blown off of the patio prior to guest arrival. We enjoyed the easy location and well stocked home. We would highly recommend this property.
