Wet but lovely
The unit was absolutely lovely… aside from the bad storms causing the walls and patio doors to leak like a faucet, our stay was wonderful!

Winter getaway
We have been visiting Texas locations on the gulf. We found this condo perfectly located! On the beach and updated and clean. It was so convenient to get to anything and everything we wanted to do. The owners were great with communication. The condo was well supplied and we didn’t have a need for anything! We would stay again!

Great Unit Exactly as described
This unit is exactly as described. The view was great and the unit is totally updated with everything you need including the beach umbrella and chairs. We loved the location as the private beach which was less crowded than some of the other beach front properties where the public access was. The owners were very responsive and had no problem changing my check in dates with a last minute request since the unit was available. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the sunrise every morning and chilling on the beach all day. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone for a great place to be in South Padre.

Can't wait to book again!
I recently stayed in the condo with my 2 teen daughters and it completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the clean and modern decor, and the breathtaking gulf views. My girls loved the bunkbed closet and the privacy it afforded them. All of the beds were very comfortable and we had a restful night's sleep. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to whip up meals and enjoy them on the balcony. The bathrooms were also fully equipped with everything we needed to clean up at the end of the day. In the closet, there were beach chairs, a large beach umbrella, and a boogie board for us to use on the beach.
Location-wise, this condo couldn't be better situated-just steps away from the main road with shopping, dining, and entertainment. While on the island, we managed to enjoy time on the beach with toes in the sand within 5 minutes of arriving and unpacking, parasailing, and horseback riding on the beach. The water was clear and beautiful blue/green and the sand was clean. We were around the middle of the island and within 15 minutes of everything we had planned for the weekend. Our host was fantastic with communication and provided us with additional cleaning supplies to manage any tar that might wash up on the beach.
This stay was nothing short of perfect. I can't recommend this condo highly enough for anyone looking for a stress-free and convenient getaway! We can't wait to plan our next trip and reserve this condo again.
