The house was cleaned very well. I would for sure rent this place again. ##### Katherine S.

We had a great experience at South Padre Island staying at this location. The beach access is incredible. Only downside was that the house(condo) does need some work for its price level but in its own way, it had that used beach house vibe to it. The pool is great and we used it often. Definitely a place to consider for future SPI trips. ##### Gabriel C.

The place is in a great location. Love that the kitchen was fully equipped from cups to even a vase, which we needed since my brother had gotten my mother some roses for her bday. It was quiet since no one was renting either condo to the sides. Only thing is that they main downstairs bedroom would do much better with no carpet since it looks like its been traipsed on a lot but other than that it's a very nice place. ##### VANESSA R.

We will never rent this house again. You don’t even want to take off your shoes to step on the carpet. The stains are soo bad and all over the carpet. The Tv in the living room is way too small. None of the rooms have TVs. The bathroom in the hallway doesn’t lock so you can’t use it comfortably. Washer and dryer are really old. ##### Miriam G.

It has everything one would need and want for an inviting, relaxing and exciting time away from home. A fully stocked kitchen, bright bathrooms, comfy, happy, beautifully decorated spacious bedrooms and living areas, excellent lighting in every room, and that AWESOME pool overlooking the ocean which was literally our "backyard" to enjoy any time we wanted to. First floor or second floor, the views were to die for!!! Garage full of pool toys, kites and a grill. Communication was A++, extremely helpful with a lost item, kind and hospitable and answered every question we had. We literally had an absolute blast here, highly recommended! ##### Rita R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer S. 20 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun with water Location was as pictured. A short path to the beach, and a private pool. The pool entrance is off the master which is a bit awkward, but workable, just be prepared for everyone traipsing thru the master to get to the pool or beach. The pool is fun and gets some really nice afternoon shade. The master has a large walkin closet and bathroom. There is also a smaller bathroom and bedroom on the bottom floor. The view from the upstairs livingroom and deck is spectacular. The living/dining/kitchen area are very spacious. Great place to relax amd enjoy the water. ##### Jennifer S.

Kitchen was well-equipped but I would suggest adding a toaster and maybe a blender. On the downside, the furniture was tired looking and stained. The carpet, while vacuumed, was full of stains and looked filthy. Showers had dirt or mold in the grout. The place generally needs some updates inside and out as well as some maintenance. Overall, the property is comfortable and in a great location but is quite tired looking. ##### Suzanne R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert G., AUSTIN 30 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Potential unrealized Great location, beach front access, and overall layout of the property. However, for the price, this place does not measure up. Shutters upstairs and downstairs were non-functional or partially functional. Upper deck needs to be completely redone. Floor in the kitchen needs to be replaced. This place probably needs about $20k-30k invested in it to fix all the issues. It's falling apart in many places. If it was fixed up, I would stay again in a heartbeat however because it really has a nice setup. Garage access with laundry was great for our large family. ##### Robert G.

Being from the valley you would think we would get out to enjoy the beautiful beaches at SPI but unfortunately we don’t and our annual family reunion is one of the only times we do make it out. The house was just as described and by far one of the best rentals we have stayed at. Yes it could use an update but non the less we were very pleased. It was clean and well stocked with the everyday essentials. The pool was clean and was enjoyed by us all. We loved that we could bbq at the unit being that many on the island don’t allow this. The beds were all comfortable and clean. The walkway to the beach does need some repairs but it understandable being that several units use it. There was dredging being preformed on the beach the last 2 days we were there but we understand that to be able to enjoy SPI for years to come it is a necessity and it didn’t make our trip any less enjoyable. We would definitely stay at this rental again. ##### christina a.

House is in need of major TLC. Carpets are stained and need to be ripped out on all floors, pool area gate is falling off the wall, window in upstairs bathroom is broken, wall and air vents are covered in dust, no privacy in the “master” room, out door shower is broken and sprays all over the furniture when you try to use it, there is a foul odor when using any of the showers so we all wore shower shoes, and biggest issue of all is the railing on the balcony isn’t fixed to the wall!!! We found out when someone touched the railing while looking out at the ocean! Thankfully no one fell or was hurt since we noticed it immediately. On top of all of this a construction group showed up Saturday morning to work on the house!!! They were blocking the pool area, IN THE POOL, and painting the house right next to our cars. Only positive was the proximity to the water but even the boardwalk to that is sketchy…always wear shoes and be careful. Please show this house some love and attention before listing for families to use on their vacations. ##### Alicja D.

The pictures for the rental definitely felt misleading. Here is the good: The pool is clean and very convenient to have with children. The location on the beach is fantastic and the view is great. The garage was nice for storing items. Here is the bad: Most of the house is very outdated and severely due for a remodel. For the price you pay, you expect something nicer. Several of the light bulbs didn't work, we had to switch light bulbs around just to get the master bedroom lamps to work. The dishwasher was broken the entire time we stayed there so we had to wash dishes by hand. The master bedroom has the long vertical blinds from the 80s that don't block much light. Since the neighbors ran their pool lights 24/7 this meant the master bedroom was lit up the entire night. This made it a challenge to sleep. The kitchen floor is damaged and coming up. The carpet on the stairs and in the master bedroom is very stained and crusty. The fact that you go through the master bedroom to access the pool means that renters have tracked water in to the master bedroom for several years. This has caused the carpet to become very stained and crusty (hard). This room definitely should have been tiled since it's the entrance to the pool. Also, the internet quit working after two days and never came back on. ##### Marcus K. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021
