Wonderful Stay!

The condo is excellent, offering many fun activities for teens, and the location is very convenient. The beds were great, and there were lots of towels for the bath and beach. The pool was clean and very refreshing. The location is great if you are coming in from out of town and having groceries delivered or if you want to dine out. The kitchen could use some updates with pots and pans, but otherwise it was a amazing stay!

Excellent choice for SPI stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Seabatical SPI. The place was spacious and located a short walk to the beach. Our kids loved hanging out in the downstairs gameroom and splashing around in the pool.

Great Stay

Fabulous location, very close to the beach. House was great and the games room was an added bonus. Only constructive feedback is some of the pots and pans need replacing and outdoor sun beds a little tired.

Fantastic Family Retreat

We wanted to stay at a property that had everything for our family, and this was perfect! This house was equipped with everything needed, very clean, and big enough for multiple families. The walking distance to the beach was so close and easy. The refreshing swimming pool was amazing! We had family that flew in from California and they loved it!

Excellent Experience!

The whole experience, from check in to check out was just amazing. We have stayed in several houses on the island before, and this one was truly outstanding. We were in the house for 5 weeks and had no problems whatsoever. Everything you could possibly need is there. The pool area is the cherry on the cake. We would not hesitate to recommend this property for a great experience.

A beautiful place so we could honor our Dad's memories

We were at South Padre Island to honor our dad's memories as this was his favorite place to take us as kids and grandkids. The ten of created new memories at this wonder beach house. It is a block away from the beach. The hosts provided wagons, a cooler and chair for the beach. There were plenty of floats for the pool! There were two big kitchen tables and plenty of space for cooking and grilling. The details on this place were so kind and thoughtful. We were able to spend time enjoying our dad's memories without having to worry about logistics.

Great Location - Needs maintenance and more honest info

Excellent location and nice pool - great house overall. The listing says Queen sofa bed in game room but it was a cot sized rollout on a small couch with no cushion which we could not use. The doors to outside were sticking and hard to open plus the knob latch mechanism spirings were shot so you had to manually twist the knob to close the door and get the latch in place. Description says it sleeps 16 but we had to add a blowup mattress for our 11. Even with the added blowup mattress, 1 adult had to sleep on the top bunk bed.

Beautiful property! We really enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that there were several little hiccups that we had to contact the property manager about multiple times such as washer not working, outside shower not working, pool lights weren't turning on, master bedroom sink wasn't draining properly, etc. We would definitely stay here again but we would hope these little things would be taken care of before we arrived so we don't have to take time out of our stay to contact the property managers back and forth. Overall, 8/10! Great place for big family vacation. The walk to the beach really is two minutes ;)

Management failure

I asked 2 different days and 2 different times for alternate method to send requested documents. After no reply from management i sent my personal information thru vrbo, who knows where that ended up. Only then when it went thru unsuccessfully then they decided to reply and give me an email. I also asked for a fax number initially. Yes tourists and out of towners will ignorant and not know the process of how things work. After all we traveled over 20 hours and things will be stresful. If management can provide precise information instead of making guests jump thru hoops. Reminds me of the snooty condescending elitist that middle America despises. Am i getting any of my deposit money back it has been 2 weeks. Here comes the nickel and dime time. They were quick to take the money.
