Perfect!

The condo was perfect for our group. Large and spacious. Very clean and had everything you'd need including all the kitchen utensils you'll need. They even supplied some S&P and cooking oil. Very nice touch. This condo is probably one of the best we've stayed in in the 10+ years we've been coming to SPI. Management company was very communicative and easy to deal with. We'll be staying here again for sure.

Great spring break trip

Took the family to SPI for the first time and loved it! Great, quiet location with easy beach access. Amazing views! We even happened to be in town for Space X launch and watched from the balcony, although the beach would have been even better. Nice condo for a relaxing getaway.

The unit and location is great, and neighbors are friendly. The only issue is the smell in the master bath shower. It may be sewer or what's behind the tile, which has quite a bit of grout missing.

Spring Break 2023

Area of condo was perfect and views were gorgeous. We would stay here again. There was a couple things that would have made the stay a little smoother. There was an issue with the keyfob needed to park and use the private entrance to the beach. SPI said Iverness had it, Iverness said SPI had it. SPI said they would find out where it was and call me back, but I didnt get a return call. If you stay, make sure they give you one. In the end, we ended up getting a loaner keyfob from the Iverness desk. Washer / dryer is a shared set for the building. It worked well, but costs $3.25 to do a load. So, take quarters if you plan to use them. Kitchen was stocked with everything except coffee cups. We honestly had a great stay and would stay again. Giving 4 stars only because I was frustrated with the handling of the keyfob.

SPI Stay

Getting information from SPI before the trip was like pulling teeth. They didn’t tell us about going right to the condo until I kept asking questions. They gave me incorrection information about getting from the airport to S Padre so we didn’t have transportation. Luckily there was a taxi van at the airport that would accommodate all of us. The condo smelled and we had to keep the doors open at all times.

Great beach condo

The condo was nice and the beach was beautiful. However, the access to the pool was sketchy at best. You have to use a key fob, but you only get one. So, if you want to return to the room but others want to stay at the pool, you have to have them let you out and back in. But if you take the fob with you and leave others at the pool, they can't get out until you come back. It seemed like an emergency disaster waiting to happen. There were no kitchen towels and scratchy hotel towels for the bathroom. The twin beds were not comfortable. The kitchen, living room, and bathrooms were really nice. The balcony was worth the price.

Wish I could give ZERO stars

Parking is horrible if you drive a truck. Bring fans bc this place has no ceiling fans or overhead lights. The worst part was the smell! Every time you take a shower, it smells like a sewer. After a few days, it ALWAYS smelled like a sewer, so we had to go! They gave us another place, but it wasn’t oceanfront, and while they did compensate us for the difference, our vacation was already RUINED.

Great room and view but needs better maintenance.

The room was nice, clean, and as advertised. However the bathroom ceiling started leaking after a strong storm, causing large water filled bubbles in the paint. Notified front desk but management email was undeliverable. Elevators were inoperable during most of our stay. Great location, views, parking, etc. Just needed better maintenance.

Pros and Cons but Worth the Stay if You Plan Ahead.

Pros and cons here but if you are prepared in advance, overall a decent place. Pros-has a pool and hot tub, and a separate jacuzzi for adults. Fabulous views and decent beach especially if you like to walk or bike for miles. Comfy sofa, chairs, beds, control of AC which worked well, Functional kitchen and appliances with most everything you need. Laundry areas on at least 3 floors. Booking through VRBO was easy. Friendly desk people at SPI and Inverness. Lots of restaurants, stores, etc. all nearby. Free bus, too! Cons-extremely windy on beach, pool and patios, plan for this! Umbrella and two lounge chairs are $35 to rent for 7 hours, umbrellas are $15-25 at CVS-get a pole digger and some cheap chairs or bring $$$. Jacuzzi very hot-okay in winter but too hot in April. Be very careful where you step in the ocean and beach!!! 3/4 of us ended up with tar like substance on our feet-very difficult to remove-you would ruin sandals. Note the oil rigs off shore. Some of the listed supplies were on hand (tp and pt thank goodness) but no dish towels or kitchen garbage bag. Be aware that VRBO hands you off to SPI and then you stay at Inverness where they also rent condos. Ours was private but we were given only one key fob at SPI told to get another from the desk at Inverness. BUT at Inverness we were told we had to get another from SPI, when we dropped the fob off upon check out at SPI, we were told we’re only supposed to get one. Too many involved means blame goes back and forth and customer not satisfied. Ended up with ONE key fob for 5 people. You will need a key fob to get into and out of the pool, jacuzzi and the beach door out back.

Great property

Property was outstanding…great views, extremely clean and great location to walk to food, bars and etc. Highly recommend this property. The only thing I would add is that the check in and out process is a little repetitive, meaning you have to first go to 2600 Padre and then you have to check in at the property. Not to big of a hassle, just seemed a bit of an overkill.

Can’t beat the views and the location

This property truly has the best balcony and views on the island. The close access to the beach was great. The smaller bedrooms have blackout shades, but the East facing master bedroom does not. Be prepared to wake early with the sun because the shades are nearly sheer in that room. Plan to bring your own amenities, even dishwasher detergent and a hairdryer. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, glasses and silverware, but sparse with cooking supplies. Communication with the property manager was done via text so checking in, parking, and checkout instructions were quite vague. Overall, a wonderful stay, the condo was beautiful.

It was ok but probably won’t return

The condo it’s self was nice but the lack of a in the condo washer and dryer will be the main reason we won’t come back. The building staff was mostly rude leaving notes taped to our car doors about silly stuff like no front license plate, golf carts, or that our truck was too long was not necessary. No gate key fobs provided. Double charged us for our stay, took 4 days to refund. No bed spread on master bed. Small assortment of kitchen tools. No kitchen hand towels or soap. Stay was good but will probably choose another place next trip to South Padre.
