Great location
The host were on the spot. The only complaint I have is the facilities maintenance as the Hot Tub needed attention and the area where you wash the sand off your feet needed to be cleaned.Both needed attention but this is not the Host fault. This was our first time to ever go to South Padre Island and the location and set up of the condo we chose was just perfect for us.

Perfect view
This was my first time staying in this particular building and I loved it. Great access to the beach, and since I was by myself it was nice to be able to park in a gated garage. The unit itself was lovely. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a fantastic stay for four nights, the property was very clean and comfortable. The condo is well stocked with all essentials and the wifi and TV is great as well. I would definitely go back for a longer stay!

Gulf view from your balcony is breath taking!!! Sunrises are glorious!!
Perfect for a couple! Second time at this location and this unit is the best. Updated decor is very “beachy”. The view of the Gulf from your balcony is fantastic! It’s as if you are sitting on the beach!! Sunrises are spectacular! Everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!!

Excellent value
The condo was a wonderful experience. The appliances are current, and the furniture was comfortable. The view is spectacular! Our only snafu was the only operating elevator was down for about a half day, so had to use the stairs. This was not a problem as we needed the exercise anyways, and the elevator was back in service when we needed to vacate and haul our belongings down. The building is a bit older, so this is expected to happen from time to time. We will definiately be returning to this property when we can.

Quick Beach Trip
The condo is perfect for two. The view is unbeatable for chilling & watching the waves. Kitchen has all necessities and ice maker pumps the ice. Bedroom is dark & quiet. Lose sense of time in there. Enjoyable time & will be back! Not owner’s fault - if you or someone in your group has mobility issues please check on current status of elevators.

South Padre Island Getaway
Our condo, located on the Gulf, had an amazing view, especially from the large balcony. The apartment was clean and the kitchen well stocked, but there was a very limited supply of toilet paper and toweling. We would have appreciated some card or board games to play inside, but there were lots of beach toys in the balcony chest. Inverness itself needs lots of improvements: only one elevator was working, the entrance to the beach was very dirty (no boardwalk), and the garage parking was too tight for a pickup or large SUV.
