Thank you so much for your kind comments and stay. I really appreciate the many fish you left for us. There were delicious and fresh! I will be glad to see you come back!
The property was very clean and our host was exceptional. We had easy access to South Padre Island. There was close shopping for groceries, personal items and gift shops. The Restaurants and sea food in the area were great. We had a great time and would recommend this property and our host.

My guests were extremely respectful and easy to communicate with. This lovely couple always communicated with exceptional courtesy, knowledge, and understanding. They stayed for a month, but I wished they would have stayed longer because of the peacefulness they projected as well as the carefulness and concern with which they treated the unit. I will always be
thankful for their visit, and I strongly recommend them to any host that expects and wishes for reliable and trustworthy guests.
We found the condo to be very warm and inviting. Very clean and nice view over looking the canal. Great location. The owner was very helpful and instantly available when we needed assistance or had questions. Everything you need is included. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this condo.
Nice two bedroom condo with balcony and water view, good location, clean and comfortable. Good value for sure. Hostess was helpful and informative re the area.
Needs one large bowl for making salads or popcorn.
Great only issue was parking space to small for your truck

Dear guest,
I just would like to clarify that the delineated assigned parking spaces in the condominium complex are standard size according to city regulations.
Moreover, the condominium complex has plenty of available space where you could have parked your truck taking as much area as you wished. I wish you had voiced this concern to me as I suggested so I could point out this simple solution, but you did not respond to my message nor to the posted notices on the wall.
I am glad you mentioned everything else was great.
We had a girls' weekend here, and it was exactly what we needed. I've spent a lot of time in this area over the years and prefer to stay in Port Isabel over the island. The location of this condo was great and very accessible. Betty made sure I had all the information I needed for our stay. Her communication was prompt and helpful. She even gave contact information for a boat guide in case we wanted one. The condo was EXTREMELY clean, which, for me, is one of the most important aspects of renting. It was comfortable enough for us, but I did need to use my own pillow because I prefer a thick, fluffy pillow. The only recommendation I would have for anyone staying here would be to bring a few dish towels if you plan on cooking much because their weren't any available. I didn't cook very much, so the paper towels I brought with me were good enough for what I needed. Also, if you plan on staying more than a weekend, you would want to bring some towels. There are 4 bath towels available, 2 in each bathroom, but no washer and dryer, so if you are staying more than 2-3 nights, you're going to need fresh towels. Overall, we had a great visit and would definitely stay here again.
We were looking for a place close enough to SPI to enjoy the fun, but we also wanted a place we could relax together in peace. This condo was the perfect fit.
Everything was exceptionally clean and prepared. There were plenty of notes detailing everything we needed to know, such as wifi password. We weren't lacking anything we needed.
Our hostess Betty was the most generous, thoughtful person. She went out of her way to make our anniversary trip memorable. She is, without a doubt, blessed with gift of hospitality.
Thank you Betty! We will be seeing you again!

The best guests in the world!
My best guests would score100 stars. Mrs. and Mr. Trickler scored 500+++. They left my property super clean and in perfect condition! Their gentleness and clarity to communicate has impressed me forever. They demonstrated a keen sense of respect and consideration not only for me, but for my property also. I cannot phantom enough words to express my gratitude to Mrs. and Mrs. Trickler. I am excited and encouraged by their support, and I will always be in longing expectation for their return. Honorable couple indeed!
Extremely difficult experience the entire time even the delusional owner accused me of having six guests when I never had but two. There was cameras right on the front door I asked for validation of this cuz I was concerned for my safety and she failed to provide them I personally think it was an additional scam for her to make extra money and take from me. Upon even arrival I was being annoyed with email after email after email from the owner Betty. The communication is easy because she is very open and not shy to communicate that's for sure. But things get more complex and more uncomfortable as time goes by. Do not take any children on this property with you due to the fact that there is many addicts renting and staying on site, extremely uncomfortable I used one parking space and got accused of using more than one, like I mentioned very difficult and uncomfortable stay

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Disappointing
This is our first ever negative review for a VRBO property. But we have to be honest with our very disappointing experience.
First of all, the host Betty was very friendly and responsive. But the accuracy of the listing needs to be addressed. The unit overall is very small so square footage needs to be listed.
The unit itself was very clean. But we experienced a very bad odor coming from both toilets, apparently from toilet bowl pellets fastened up in the toilet bowl rims. We have never run into such pellets in other rental units and the odor from these were very overpowering. We tried opening doors to the patio for fresh air but my wife still developed headaches and nauseousness from the odor. We finally had to leave the unit after only a short two night stay due to the odor even though we had booked for seven nights. We have asked for some form of a refund but the owner stated she was waiting for a response from VRBO management before she could answer our request.
Also, be aware, this unit's complex overall is in poor condition. The pool was dirty and unusable with a loud aggressive dog kept on a patio right next to the pool. The complex is tucked behind and through a retail store parking lot with a run-down apartment complex alongside the parking lot right behind a fence. A dirt and mud lot sits right across the small channel of water from the unit's balcony. The immediate area is unappealing and not inviting.
A very disappointing experience overall with no answer to our refund request over two weeks later.

I deeply respect all my guests and I am so sorry I have to keep this story straight and honest. My guest has not explained very important details about his stay. First, on his first day I asked him if everything was OK with the unit, and he did not respond. The following day, 15 minutes before leaving the condominium, he informed me he had already rented another unit. He also wrote about some issues he had found. Yet, he did not give me an opportunity to correct any issues which were so extremely simple to correct. For instance, the deodorizing toilet pellets could have been easily disposed of. I also could have informed the staff to clean the swimming pool which had debris due to a strong windstorm during these off-season cold days.
Our beloved four-legged friends belong to other guests, but their barking is non-threatening, brief, and playful. Moreover, since the swimming pool is fenced all around, our wagging-tail, four-legged friend posed no threat at all being outside the pool area and contained in his patio.
Concerning the size of the unit, I informed my guest it was suitable for 4 people when he asked to bring 2 family members along. Additionally, by looking at the many photographs you can clearly see that the unit has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Therefore, the overall size of the condominium can be easily assessed.
He also did not mention, he asked to stay for an extra day which I allow absolutely free of charge. Moreover, he very clearly stated that he would understand if I decided NOT to provide him with a refund.
Even so, I immediately contacted Vrbo personnel and read his message to them. Vrbo staff clearly stated that his complaint and departure had no merit, and I did not have to refund his money. He had left without following proper procedure.
Lastly, my dear guest is of the opinion that the condominium’s surrounding area is unappealing to him. Well, much more sophisticated and beautiful front beach views are available, but they will cost him 3-4 times as much. I apologize about his unrealistic expectations.
For a clear and transparent verification of these facts, all these events and conversations have been properly documented.
Really enjoyed the balcony over looking the canal! Easy drive to the beach, responsive, kind and generous owner. Only downside is getting out onto busy road.

Thank you so much Mrs. & Mr. Murdaugh for writing such kind revie!!! I am grateful and fortunate you visited my place. During our communication exchange, and even before you booked, it was clear to me I was dealing with a very special couple. I can't thank you enough for your noble gestures of appreciation and patience. My crew will be forever grateful for your encouragement and thoughtfulness. I will be joyful if you honor me with you visit again!
Please let me know if you are celebrating an anniversary or birthday, so I can prepare a special welcome for your loved ones! I am family oriented and think romance just doesn't happen, you need to make it happen. Romance is the seed we all need for a great harvest of love. A sweet romantic word or act makes miracles happen in your relationship.
