Everything was as advertised. Both beds were comfortable, did not try the pull out couch. Would have preferred not to be next to the construction house, but they were really quiet and the house was pretty soundproof. The management was prompt when we had a question. Neighborhood was really quiet and very well maintained. Will definitely stay again on returning trips. ##### Gretchen D.

We used this house as our homebase with our travels in that area. Boca Chica is nearby, as is Brownsville (and points south) and many other little towns. The house is lovely. Well appointed and maintained. Easy to find. North of the noisy areas. Didn't get a chance to take a dip in the pool (was too chilly that week).

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 23 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Some issues Overall the property was very nice. It was great to have our own swimming pool and it looked just like the photos. Had a problem with the key upon check-in. When I called Kevin, the manager, he made me feel like I did not know how to use a key. He said they were going to send someone out but no one ever showed that night. After calling a second time because the AC stopped working and the key (surprise, surprise) still did not work in the door. The second day of our vacation involved dealing with some one who came out and also could not get the keys to work. Then we had the AC repair guy in and out of the rental to fix it, all why trying to get a toddler to nap (we had no such luck). Every time we laid her down there was another knock at the door. Finally, after a different person came to look at the keys and lock we had one door that we could lock. My husband actually spent a portion of this day helping the AC because we needed it to work and did not want to waste anymore of our vacation. He rigged it so it would work but I fear for future renters. It’s also sounded like a jet plane taking off next to one of the bedrooms that was near the unit. Sleep was hard to come by on this trip. I am so disappointed because we wanted a quiet getaway but ended up dealing with contractors and maintenance people. I feel like at this price point of a rental it was not worth it. Also, don’t count on using the grill, so rusted we had to cook inside. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda S. 12 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### South Padre visit The coastal cottage was very nice. It was clean. The bed was comfortable. We loved the neighborhood and being able to watch the sunset every night. And right across the road was the beach. We fished in the canal a couple times which was very fun. Only caught one fish. ##### Brenda S.

I loved my cottage! To improve I suggest a box for outside cushions. Huge winds blew furniture and cushions in pool. Loved sunsets over the bay that I could see from my front steps. Also my beach walks on the ocean across the street. ##### Karen S. Stayed 23 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer R. 16 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and Relaxing We had a wonderful time. Our check in was delayed a bit as the cleaning crew wanted to ensure the cottage was clean. A few minor things needed to be fixed but over all the cottage was in great condition. A beautiful place just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We would stay again and would recommend this cottage to everyone! ##### Jennifer R. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike H., Saint Michael, MN 5 Mar 2019 #### Great Cottage We spent 2 months at the costal cottage. The cottage is well furnished and the kitchen had the utensils that we needed. Franke Realty responded quickly to all requests and any problems that arose. We enjoyed the quick 5 minute walk from the cottage to the beach. A car is necessary if you are going to restaurants and bars. You should be aware that there is a fair amount of new construction going on in the development. The pictures on the website accurately represent the cottage. ##### Mike H. Stayed 58 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina L. 14 Aug 2018 #### Close to the beach, clean, comfy fun! Family getaway to the beach and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. Very clean and comfortable, 5 minutes walk to the beach, close to town (but not too close). Wonderful experience, and a pool onsite! ##### Katrina L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ---
