We very much enjoyed the beautiful and spacious penthouse at Aquarius. It was the perfect place for our group to be together. Everything we needed was within walking distance. The Free transportation bus passed by our place frequently. We will definitely hope to book another stay when we visit again in the future.

The overall stay was good. Building was quiet, penthouse was clean and roomy. Plenty of beach towels and beach accessories although a few of the beach chairs were broken and unusable (obviously the owners are unaware). Kitchen was well stocked as far as dishes/utensils. The one thing that was a bit disappointing was the lack of any sort of spices (salt & pepper) or even a few starter packages of coffee. Maybe having these things around from previous tennants is against policy? But, overall it was a great trip (aside from the masses of jellyfish on the beach).

Fantastic location and great views

Perfectly close to restaurants and shopping while still being quiet at night. Even the grocery store is within willing distance! The loft is a tight squeeze but the teens made it home and they had their own bathroom upstairs.

Beautifully equipped for family.

This condo was spacious and well equipped for our family. The views were phenomenal with 3 different balconies to catch sunrises and sunsets. We appreciated the many offerings such as beach chairs, umbrella, volleyball, etc. We met several other owners and all were friendly and ready with great tips for enjoying the island.

The location of the condo was great! Easy beach access and not far from South Padre blvd. The balconies allowed views of the ocean, as well as the bay side fireworks. The shower located in the loft bathroom was not useable, the sliding glass doors had been broken before our arrival, so that made our stay less enjoyable, due to 8 people using 2 showers. Also, the garbage disposal in the kitchen was inoperable and the sink backed up anytime it was used, leaving the sink full of old food and grime. But overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Beach Front Penthouse

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. The views of the beach were amazing. The place was nicely decorated and very up to date. All bedrooms were roomy and nice beds. There was plenty of towels including beach towels. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. The communication with the property manager was top notch and responded quickly to my requests. I would definitely stay here again.

Family spring break trip.

Very nice condo. The pool was not kept warm was a disappointment though. Also be on the 10th floor was a little scary if there would of been a fire because they had the doors to stairs locked when we tried them so no exit except the elevator.
