Beautiful beach location. Town was not crowded at all. We will definitely be back next year.

If I had to find something wrong, it would be that only one elevator worked, and the dishwasher in the unit would not work for me.

Thanks for your comments and glad you enjoyed your stay. Fortunately there are 2 elevators at the building and we try to keep them always running. As for the dishwasher, the smoke detector is on the same circuit and started chirping and someone flipped the circuit breaker and shut both things off. We replaced the dishwasher and then figured that out. Thanks for staying with us.

Love the large balconies at the Inverness over the beach right on the gulf. The condo had everything I needed for a great stay. Carol and her husband were super responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Loved the ocean art throughout the condo so views were wonderful inside as well as from the balcony!

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
There are 2 elevators and if either one stops working, it is addressed quickly. The building was renovated for 9 months in 2016-2017 and the heavy construction use and building wide furniture replacement cause them to go down for a short time when the building first reopened. This has been fixed. Sorry you had to carry your luggage up he stairs. Its a long way up to the 9th floor. Thanks.

Right on the Beach!

We were satisfied. Location is great. Right on the beach and the nice balcony has an ocean view. Condo itself was clean, very well equipped and comfortable. The building is older and doesn’t present well. For some mysterious reason, we were given wristbands. We were also given only one lock fob, which wasn’t a major inconvenience but could have been a nuisance if we split up more often. I was pleasantly surprised that checkout didn’t involve any cleaning, just start the dishwasher and return the fob. Usually, we are asked to do some cleaning. We did try to leave things tidy but the minimal tasks required meant we could get on the road early. Overall, great. No significant complaints, we would stay here again.

Ocean view

First of all, i would like to say the balcony view was amazing. Unfortunately, that was the only positive thing i can say. The unit needs renovation and basic repairs, ie dishwasher not working, but we did not really need it. The cleaning was sloppy. There was dust on the lamps and light fixtures. I felt the need to clean the bathroom again. The mattress was not comfortable,. The linens were clean. We found a pillow with a blood stain in the closet. The unit overall was smaller than i am accustomed to. Overall a disappointing stay.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. We've replaced the pillow. Someone ahead of you flipped the circuit breaker on the dishwasher so it worked but needed to be turned back on. Unfortunately, we replaced it before we realized that. I hope you come back and visit us again.

The beach is the thing!

We actually cook while on vacation, so we were thrilled with how thoroughly the kitchen was stocked with flatware, utensils, pots, pans, both a regular and a keurig coffee maker, etc. Great view of and access to a clean beach. Beach is very walkable with firm sand, and ideal for making sandcastles. The complex is rather run down. Only one elevator was working. It has been out for 4 months. Two hot tubs were advertised, but the adult only hot tub was marooned on a deck, not attached to plumbing, with 6” of dirty water and empty beer cans floating in it. It was quiet while we were there in early February. Easy walk to multiple bar and grill joints with live music. WiFi is there, but so slow as to be nonexistent. Living room TV and cable worked well, but the bedroom TV did not have cable that worked. Bed was comfortable. Small cooler available to use on the beach.

We just wrapped up our stay at this beachfront condo, and while things started off a little rocky, I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we ended up having—thanks entirely to the owner, Carol. I specifically booked this unit because it offered both beach access and a pool. With a child who isn’t a huge fan of the beach and older kids who are, I needed the flexibility of both. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we learned the pool was broken—something the management company (who oversees the building, not the individual owners) failed to disclose. I was honestly heartbroken. But then Carol stepped in. Rather than just apologizing or pointing fingers at the management company, she went above and beyond to make it right. She gave us access to her private pool within walking distance. She also owns a company called Sand Monsters (an insanely fun sand track where you can ride buggies!) and offered our whole group two days of riding—completely free. What meant the most to me, though, was how thoughtful she was about my daughter with special needs. Carol went out of her way to connect us with a local man who offers fishing trips tailored for individuals with disabilities. That gesture alone showed how deeply she cares—not just about being a good host, but about people. Carol didn’t have to do any of that. She could’ve easily said, “That’s not on me,” and moved on. But she didn’t. She showed up, she cared, and she turned our trip around. She’s truly one of the kindest.

Greatest Vacation Ever!

This was the perfect place for our vacation. We loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the surf. It's right on the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the condo suited our needs. We cooked when we wanted and went out when we didn't. Carol was very responsive and very helpful when we needed her. We definitely want to come back!

Great location on the beach

Great location and access to the beach. Nice lanai but not useful because of the lousy weather. The hot tub was wonderful. The furnishings were very comfortable and the condo was well stocked. The condo needs a deep cleaning and some updating. The shower head had very little water pressure.

Inverness at South Padre

We love the wide lanai here to just sit on lounge chairs, read, talk and watch the ocean. We also love to walk out the back of the building and take a long stroll on the beautiful beach, especially in the early evening. Our host was available for questions as needed and was very upfront about how she was cleaning the unit due to covid which we appreciated. We would absolutely stay in this unit again!

Island style hospitality

Carol’s customer service is exceptional. I didn’t agree w/ the security deposit held on my card but she fixed and made the experience right. Communication was right away even though I didn’t expect it because I always plan ahead w/ my questions/ concerns. Even when we though we only spoke online, she sounds very pleasant and so island welcoming. I can relate because I’m from another island w/ welcoming hospitality as well. I think the price could of been a little cheaper because we don’t spend time in the room. I’m at the beach by 7:30 am/ 8 am sleeping the rest of my time on the beach, tanning, and beaching the salt ocean. We enjoyed our away from reality.
