My family and I stay here at least once a year and more often when possible. It’s been a relaxing and relaxing enjoyable time every time. The property is very comfortable and the views of the bay in the morning are mesmerizing. The kids always enjoy the pool and I love being able quickly get to anything on the Port Isabel or island side.

Ideal location on the edge of Port Isabel
The property was exactly what we needed it to be - the pictures were accurate - everything worked - My family of 5 enjoyed the pool 1 house away - I enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was overall. It is a quiet place with a great view of the bay.
My only issue was every time I received a pdf file from the host I needed to use my laptop to open it because my android phone could not open the file. No other issues! So that pdf file had the gate code, and door code, so that was important, I was able to reach out to some extended family who were able to help me out so that was the only hiccup.

Great Beach House at Port Isabel
Great overall stay and property with fantastic views of Laguna Madre. The house was clean and beautifully decorated and maintained. No real negative comments to give. Pool was right next door so that’s great for kids. Property was easy to get in and out of. Would definitely stay again if we head that way!

Great Winter Get Away
We spent three weeks at this property. The location is exellent. Overlooks the bay with an excellent view of South Padre Island. The house is in a gated community so there are no real concerns about safety. The location has access to most needs within a few miles. The quality and variety of food available was quite surprising. Restaurants are plentiful with good variety. We found plenty of activities with which to ccupy our time.
Our only suggestion would be for the kitchen to be better provisioned. There was only 4 table settings. There is no broiler pan orcan opener. More food storage containers would be helpful. There is a Kurieg coffee maker but a good drip maker would be preferred for those who want to make multiple travel mugs to take with them or like to have their coffee ready first thing.
Overall this property is good value. Thank you for a nice visit.

Great vacay
We loved the place! It was more of a distance from the island to my liking, but the accommodations made up for it. The pool was right next door and two cozy backyard patios....very comfortable. We were pleased. I will say this though. We had our 19m old grandson and though he's quite comfortable with stairs, there's several so keep a watchful eye. Also the patio at the end of the yard isn't too secure meaning it's not gated and only roped off so a small child could easily fall. Other than that, it was great. We'd definitely come back.
