( mon July 18) My wife had to bring her work laptop to keep in touch with her clients and do some daily work. The wifi did not work and we contacted the property Mngt. They were very responsive and started trying to fix the issue immediately. It ended out being a larger issue and we had to basically stay in the unit while different people came to troubleshoot. The problem was finally resolved at about 9:15 with the help of a spectrum technician. We had planned to go the beach and out to dinner, but had to stay to let people in and out. We hope that the cost for that day will be refunded as we were unable to leave.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tasha L. 22 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay! We came down to Padre for Spring Break for the week. Communication with this property is A+++! So friendly, accommodating & quick to reply. My kids (ages 17, 21 & 25) along with myself and hubbie loved Big Shell. It's decorated & styled SO CUTE & the location is perfect right out front is the pool. Beach is within walking if you aren't hauling a lot, but we had a bunch so we drove over. Big Shell is pet friendly, which is nice. Towels were plush and bedding nice & soft. A/C worked great. Ice maker in fridge & fridge kept everything ice cold! My kids (and ME) loved the Galaga video game in bunk room. TV was easy to use & had streaming as well. Blender in kitchen, plenty of pots & pans and dishes etc. The only thing missing for our stay was a muffin pan (I know it's random lol) I made St Patty's Day green muffins. I made it worked though by using a glass casserole dish and just had them next to each other, :) Couches were comfy (I slept on one two nights due to snoring husband LOL) Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and adding to a lifetime of vacation memories. ##### Tasha L.

Condo was clean and exactly as advertised. The property management was extremely helpful and easy to work with. Location near a drive on beach and the on-site pool were great. My only suggestion would be to stock a few additional towels and think about including beach towels as they are bulky to pack. Will definitely consider staying again on our next trip to the beach. ##### Ben T.

Unpleasant neighbors that weekend had nothing but racist things to say about minorities which made it uncomfortable. ##### jose a.

Walking distance to the beach and the pool was great. The kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as most VRBO I have stayed in and the fridge didn’t have working ice or water. Otherwise it was a great place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela A. 9 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property Very clean and comfortable.
