Wonderful property and right on the beach! The property had everything we needed for our stay. Only we issue we had was when a storm knocked out the elevators and we had to climb 7 flights of stairs. Communicated it directly with our property managers and they were quick to get someone out to fix it.

Fabulous and clean! It is an older property but has a perfect spot in the beach.

Easy access to the beach, there is an elevator! Great place in town also. We can access all areas in town easily. Also, about a few miles north there is drive on beach access, with a 4x4 vehicle you can find a little piece of quiet beach heaven!

Great location

The condo is exactly as pictured and has a great location to the beach and restaurants and bars. However, the sofa bed needs to be replaced and there needs to be a more substantial curtain in the bedroom. People traveling to the elevator can see right into the bedroom window.

The place we stayed was exactly as it showed on the website. It was clean and it had a private beach!! That was not expected. It also had a hot tub and a pool. But who needs a pool when the beach is right there?! We had an excellant time and are already planning a trip there next year.

On The Beach Get Away

The condo was somewhat "dated" with original cabinets & fixtures. The bed could use a new mattress, but overall it was a great value, clean, and right on the beach with a truly awesome "front row view" of the ocean from the 7th floor. As a one bedroom, I would suggest only a two persons stay though there is capacity to sleep four. (Only one bathroom.) I would definitely stay there again!

Rank what you are looking for

My husband & I loved this place but our priorities were on beach, comfy bed & price. It was exactly that. It is not fancy & clearly an older building but if you don’t care about that, then this place is it. We spent all of our time on the beach or on the balcony watching the waves. The bed was a bonus but wow! The bedroom window does still need something more as the see through curtain felt like people could see us but other than that I would stay here sgain!

The Corps of Engineers were doing a beach project whic caused to walk a good distance just to het to the beach. It was disappointing that we were never informed. Orherwise the property was what we expected of an older building. Hence, the price was reasonable.

Needs updated

I can only echo what others have said. The location is wonderful right on the beach.If they want 5 star reviews they need to update this condo. The electrical outlets are terrible. Many don’t work and this is important in this day of electronic devices. The curtain in the bedroom NEEDS REPLACED! YOU CAN SEE THRU IT FROM THE OUTSIDE!!Others have complained about this unit but nothing has been done. It really needs updated. I guess the owners don’t care or they would do it.

This was a very miss leading advertisement. Property was not what was shown. DONT LEASE!!!!

NOT WORTH RATING!!! Very dated, No Hot Water for your showers. No parking. Very open property, so didn't feel safe when couldn't find a place to park. Parking Garage very small and inconvenient. (hard to park) Anyone can walk up and get on elevator to go to your room. No gates. VERY OVER PRICED FOR THE ACCOMMODATIONS!!!!

I am sorry to hear that you did not love your stay here on South Padre Island. We try to do our best to set our guest expectation when renting a condo and I am sorry we were not able to be as clear as you like. The condo has such an amazing view and excellent price point that most of our renters have really enjoyed and valued their stay in this condo. The pictures do show the condo exactly how it is, I understand that we do not have new flat top stoves or stainless steel refrigerators, however, we make sure the savings are passed on to the guest. As you experienced, we do get busy during the summer and parking at the condo is limited, but there is additional parking directly across the street. We are aware that the garage is small and are careful not to advertise it as having covered parking. We do give you all the parking information when you checked in, I am sorry if you overlooked that information. Again, I am so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay.

Dump!

Sand in the bathroom when we arrived, dirty kitchen sink, grease swipe on the microwave, dirty glasses in the cupboard, black mold on the old crap plastic patio chairs, difficult (likely broken) pull out sofa. Rust on the refrigerator, sand in the bedroom closet, bath tub faucet barely operational, poor water flow in the shower.....very uncared for property. We have rented a lot of properties with VRBO and this was our first bad experience. All the other condos had decent patio furniture on the balconies. Not worth the money!!!!!! The rental staff were very friendly and told us we couldn’t check in until it was inspected for cleanliness.....bull! The place was filthy and had been for some time.
