Great property and location. Kids loved the pool and water slide. A few pieces of furniture had been repaired and supported by 2x4's. They should probably just be replaced.

Fantastic view

Home is beautiful and well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and deck area. The 3rd bedroom is a little too small to accommodate 2 adults but we made it work. The location makes it easy to catch the free shuttle.

Went to South Padre Island for the very first time. I stayed at one of the SPI Rentals for Labor Day weekend and it was amazing. Checking process was an easy process and the communication was highly responsive when contacted. The property was spacious, clean, and as advertised. The pool with the water slide was a big hit for all of us(all adults!!!). The location was just a few blocks from the beach and to really good restaurants. Highly recommend booking through SPI Rentals. - Marlon Salazar

Tournament weekend with family

Great property. Fence around dock and boat lift could use some maintenance. Outside of that this is a great property. Super clean and well decorated. Will definitely return. Layout is awesome.

Great time had by all!

Our family had such a great time during our recent trip to South Padre Island! The property was exactly as expected. Plenty of dishes, bath towels, toiletries, laundry and dish detergent. The pool and hot tub were very clean and the kids spent hours swimming, floating and having fun on the slide. The view over the bay was spectacular... especially the sunsets. Fishing right off the dock was successful too! Would recommend!

We liked the accommodations except for the fact that the floors and carpets were filthy so much so my husband got the vacuum out to clean Also luckily we didn't have to use the room downstairs because although you you claim this was a non smoking accommodation it was so smoke infested The refrigerator smelled awful and stunk up the whole place every time we opened it Loved the view but will look for something else next time because of the uncleanliness and deception about being nonsmoking

Great time with family

The house and two bedrooms upstairs was great. The pool and decks were FANTASTIC! We had a great time as a family hanging outside, swimming in the pool, using the slide, the deck on the bay and of course the cooking. It was a great time and great space for us. The bedroom downstairs and the bathroom downstairs smelled like mold. I walked in and immediately had an allergic reaction. It’s unfortunate that I know about mold and the misinformation out there in mold. I told the property managers and they did everything they could to remedy the immediate situation. Unfortunately, to fix this problem you have to clean or replace ducts and sheetrock - which isn’t a quick fix. We didn’t ask for consideration. We stayed and made it work with the best parts of the property. I recommend it.
