Home away from home!

Second time staying at this lovely home, convenient location in Port Isabel with easy access to South Padre Island. Within walking distance to many restaurants, bars or grocery stores and able to park your boat in the water at the dock. My kids even had fun just fishing off of the dock! My family and I make this a yearly vacation and we chose this house a second time and it’s very possible that we stay again here next year! The view from the dock on the 3rd floor at night and early in the morning is amazing! Great to have your morning coffee and enjoy the sunrise or hang out and enjoy the view of the island at sunset!

Rough start

After a pretty complicated beginning it got better. I appreciate the management taking care of the situation as promptly as possible other than getting a curtain the day before departure. It was nice to be on the water. My husband likes to fish, so being a a fishing pier was convenient. I wasn’t aware there were two sets of stairs but we managed to navigate through.

Not bad but could use improvements

This condo was clean and a good location but could use some attention. I would say it is more for a group of guys fishing but the boat slip/outdoors is lacking. It is a huge slip but has no cleats for tie down. So bring ample rope. Our ropes were not long enough on our bay boat. Also there are no outside lights to see or fish. We could not find any electrical outlets on the dock that worked also. There is a huge 20x30 deck with great views that would be amazing if there were more than 2 chairs.

Not What We Expected

Pictures are deceiving. The room with a couch and tiny bed has no privacy- it’s completely open to anyone coming and going from the home. Pictures made it seem that the dock had a railing, for safety reasons, but the porch was on the 2nd floor patio. Towels smelled like eggs, sheets and pillows smelt musty and old. There were hairs on the sheets, dead cockroach in the washer, very limited kitchen equipment— no pot holders, 1 knife to cut food, no foil to keep baking sheets clean, master bath shower curtain was completely backwards and gross, fish scales all over the dock- getting tracked in the house, garbage can was completely full outside, and parking instructions were very confusing once you arrived— street parking is a block away, making it hard to unload for a 4 day, 3 night stay. Will not return.

Hade a great time at sailors dream. House was clean upon arrival. A lot to see and do right next door at SPI. Enjoyed fishing outback in the canal. House was big enough for our family of four. Only complaint was that the beds were not very comfortable and not enough blankets/comforters

Overall, the property was great! It was very clean and had plenty of space to spread out and was a short 5-10 min drive over the bridge from pretty much anywhere on the island. Communication with the host was also great.

Good option close to everything

Pros: Right on the channel so you could step outside and fish. There was a space to clean your catch, too. Close to the lighthouse and some other sites in Port Isabel. Just a few blocks from the bridge to the island. Nice kitchen with plenty of space for cooking. Cons: 3-stories with lots of narrow stairs. You get a real workout staying here! Furniture is old and placement was odd. But we didn't spend much time inside, so not too big of a problem. Downstairs bathroom has newer shower but they left the old nasty door. Clean that thing up!!! Kitchen would be better with a few pot holders and real towels. It was hard to keep it clean with the cheapo paper towels. Also be nice to provide more ice trays since the freezer does not have an ice maker. Install a porch light! I nearly fell in the water as we were checking in after dark! Parking is tricky. Don't bring any more than one vehicle. Overall assessment: decent for the price, easily accessible to the bridge to the island and good access for fishing.

Renters with a boat

The owner rebuilt most of the dock that needed repair so that was very nice. Also, they restored power to the closest outlet which is on the cleaning table and also fixed the light above the table. The cleaning table is very small though and the edges that allow water to drain are very wide and fillets can fall through. Over all a good place if you bring your boat!

Stayed for 2 weeks with boat

Property is nice. If you take a boat there are no cleats on the dock so plan to bring ropes. Also, the only electric outlet to charge boat batteries is out on a weak part of the dock. There are 2 slanted board walks on each side of the dock that are lower that the main dock. They flood during high tide and are extremely slippery. My best friend and his wife both took hard falls on it....so be careful!!
