Things to Know Check-in time: 4:00 PM Check-out time: 10:00 AM
You must check in at the Long Island Village Resort Center to pay for vehicle passes (two vehicles maximum) and wristbands. This is a $90 admission fee that will be paid directly to the Long Island Village HOA on arrival and is not included in your Vacasa fees. If the LIV office is closed, you will need to drive up to the gate. On the keypad, there are instructions for contacting security on call; they will come to the gate. You will be registered and security will allow you through the gate for the night. You will need to go back to the LIV office the next morning to check-in. They will provide you with vehicle passes and amenity bracelets.*Please note: The Welcome Center is NOT associated with Vacasa. If you have any questions please call your Local Operation Manager.
**** Please note, Texas weather brings pesky insects, and while we strive to ensure your stay is as pleasurable as possible, we are not able to control the elements that attract insects to the outdoor/indoor areas. All properties do utilize pest control maintenance regularly, BUT this does not guarantee pests or bugs will not be visible. ** The host does not guarantee stable wifi services at all times during your stay. This may also affect streaming services for televisions.

Fantastic location to view Starship launches!
This is a great property to view the launches as it's right at the south end of the canal. The property is nice and has plenty of space for at least 4 people. I did have a few hiccups with the door code, but management helped right away so only a minor inconvenience. You do need to pay the recreation fee to be in the property, but there is a fun chip and put 18 hole course on premise. Just a short drive over to South Padre Island. You have an unblocked view to the launch tower across the channel on the back deck!

Very Enjoyable
Our stay at this villa was truly enjoyable. Relaxing on the porch, rocking in the chairs, and watching the birds made for a wonderfully peaceful experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and having a washer and dryer available was a great convenience. Although the utilities were being worked on and the power went out briefly, a repairman was sent immediately to resolve the issue. The problem was never fully resolved. We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable place or a more attentive staff.

Nice Place. Great view of Starbase
Decent place, we had an excellent view of a Starship static fire! Would have given 5 stars, only negative comment is about the Community association, there was some construction going on in the road to the property and the construction team did not provide continuous access so we had to park down the road and walk to the property several times. Worked out OK, but it was a inconvenience. Also, be prepared to wait at the island bridge a few times.

Great little place to stay. Be aware that there will be a charge of $30.00 a day by the Long Island Village management (this is an item left out of VRBO listing).
