Great location. Newer laundry facilities in the unit which is a big plus. Dishwasher could be replaced but it kind of worked. The a/c worked really well. We had a minor issue at check in but they resolved it. Bring your own beach chairs and boogie boards, this unit doesn't have them. Left balcony door does not open so all furniture had been piled on another one. But it’s fine, who needs three balconies?Overall great stay, great location.
It had beautiful view of the beach and firework display from balcony.

Absolute wonderful time!
I took my daughter on her senior spring break to South Padre with a friend of mine and my daughters boyfriend and man did we have an amazing time. The condo was very roomy and set up wonderfully especially since we all had our own bathroom. There were plenty of dishes and cooking pots and pans for us. We stayed for 7 days and always found things to do. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Just steps away from the beach which was also nice. There was a lot of construction going on while we were there but the workers were very respectful and extremely nice. Only downfall was no elevator but that wasn't a deal breaker for us. This specific condo is just steps away from the pool. You do want to make sure you bring extra toilet paper because they don't leave you much. Plenty of bath towels, they also had a bunch of beach towels for you to use. Wish we would have had a lock code instead of having to lug around a key with us the entire time. Also wish there were some throw blankets for those chili nights. All in all it was a great time and the host was very responsive to my messages. Until next time South Padre!

Beach Front Experience
Great property, clean and matches listing well.
Only things we wished were if it were better stocked. We only had one garbage bag for the kitchen with some small bathroom garbages, and with a family of 5 in a 3 bedroom condo for a week, it would seem normal to need more than one garbage bag. There was also not enough plates and bowls so we had to do the dishes more often than we would’ve liked, but the rest of the kitchen was fully stocked and everything you need to cook any meals you don’t eat out while you stay.
