This home was wonderfully located. I will say it was a bit strange having the small bedroom with twin beds (I assume for children) being on the first floor and the master bedroom being in third is a bit off putting. However, my husband and I went as a solo couple and we had no complaints. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful at night. The beds were comfy. Check in was so simple and I loved the keyless entry! I’d definitely stay here again.

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!

Nice place

Felt very comfortable and at home there. Nice and quiet. Close to everything. HEB and Walmart about 2 miles away. Literally a few blocks from the causeway to South Padre Island. We went to the beach access on the island during the week and ate and stayed in Port Isabel. Only negative is there is only parking for one car in front.

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.

We had a great stay in Port Isabel and the stay at the condo was good. I may have missed it, but it was odd that the main entrance is through a bedroom and the main deck is only accessible through the master bedroom. A couple of outdoor chairs would be nice on the deck next to the water, we were glad that we had brought some with us.On a negative note, there was feces down the front of the master bathroom toilet and there was an empty water bottle behind the nightstand, may still be there as I did not pick it up. I had emailed and let them know that there would be 2 couples. When we got there the lower level bedroom was not as shown in the online pictures. The one couple was expecting to use the single bed shown in the picture online and the lower bunk bed, unfortunately the single bed was no longer there.On a positive note. The washing machine had a leak and the response was immediate. Someone arrived within the hour and they were back out the next morning to make the repair. Overall the condo is very nice. We were not able to use the dishwasher when we used the plates, they were too large. I would stay again, but with just myself and my husband.

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.

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.

The house was nice, but the living room couch and sofa are in need of replacing. The kitchen area was nice and well furnished. The master bedroom was nice and comfortable. The three floors were a bit of a challenge for us as we are in our 70s, but we managed climbing the two flights of stairs okay. It’s easy access to shopping and SPI. Enjoyed the stay.
