Very clean and comfortable place. Had all the fixings to cook, bake and eat with. Bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The kitchen and bathroom sink had great hot water but the shower did not, that is my only complaint is the shower had no hot water. They even supplied towels for the dog and a couple of old towels to use.

Right on the beach!

This was a good space for a quick weekend getaway with the kids. The condo is right on the beach which was a huge selling point for us. There were no starter coffee filters but not a big deal. The biggest problem for us was that the blankets that my kids had to use for the pull-out smelled like urine. There were quite a few stained towels which we had to let them know about right away so you don't get charged for them. Also on our last night I felt something crawl across my face and when I looked on my pillow there was a roach. Luckily like I said it was our last night. We didn't really use the pool, it was small and crowded. The unit could definitely use some upgrades. The property manager and her husband were great though. Easy communication and he was on the beach and was so friendly.

Perfect small but cozy studio apartment right on the beach. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The only problem that we encountered Was that we left our jackets at home in Harlingen but the condo was perfect, the premise and common areas were clean and well maintained safe and secure. We had a wonderful time. We hope to be back.

Hard to sleep, too much noise

The AC compressor was the loudest we have ever heard and the dehumidifier added to the noise by a banging sound when it went on and off. The only night we could sleep was when we lost power. I’d recommend both of these units be replaced before you try to rent this unit again.
