The home was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Outside area and deck was well maintained and a great place to start the day and wind down in the evening. We caught some keeper trout off the dock and a variety of other fish including mangrove snapper. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay I would not hesitate to book this home again.

Fun winter getaway

The condo was perfect for our winter getaway and entertaining our family that came to visit. It was a great location in a quiet neighborhood, close to the beaches, restaurants & stores. Gordon was helpful & very responsive.

The property itself was in a nice area and overall well-kept. It was lovely to be on the lagoon and having access to the kayaks was a selling point for us. The property needed some maintenance that should have been handled before our arrival - broken door lock. Communication was provided by host and they were responsive, but planning could have been much improved. I would recommend to the host that they provide new towels, as the ones provided were quite old and stained. there were 3 hand towels for 3 bathrooms and when requiring a week’s stay, we were obligated to do laundry. There was only one blanket in a home with 5 beds, other than a light coverlet. I also had to purchase toilet paper. Overall, it felt like I was staying in a home, as is, rather than having what I needed to be comfortable with 6 people for a week.

Great Location for fishing

We kayaked just toward the intercoastal two of the days we stayed and ended up with 12 trout and one red. It’s hard to get the kayaks to the water but once in the water it’s a great location.

Great place

My husband and I stayed here thru the week and enjoyed it very much. Plenty of room for 2 people! The neighborhood was quiet , couldn’t hear cars, and thats a first for places we have stayed before. We were here during the week so many places were vacant too. Anyway, easy to ride our bikes for coffee and closer to bird island for us. The place is pretty well stocked. Place gets lots of light and is very comfortable. It is a bit worn, screens are torn, took forever to open drawer with the blow dryer in it, stuck shut with sand. I think thats just part of being in north padre. Host very helpful.

The Perfect Place to Get Away

My entire family had a great time here. The pictures are very accurate and the home was just as advertised in all aspects. The water pressure in every shower was insane (like it WILL get the sand off of you - but not remove a layer of skin) and the hose out front was the perfect touch for hosing everyone (including the dog) off returning from the beach (which is super close and easy to access). The kitchen was stocked very well - I was able to cook full meals for five people without a problem. Pretty sure the dishwasher is smarter than my entire family because it took all of us to figure it out - but it did an amazing job. The couch was huge and super comfy - and the hosts were amazing in their response times and communication. No complaints from anyone. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Sheehan

Host profile image

I am a Texas native that loves everything outdoors including kayaking, fishing, and anything around the water. I also love food whether it be a meal prepared at home or some of the nearby restaurants. I love being a host because I see people enjoying one of my favorite places in the world.

Why they chose this property

I chose this street specifically because it is on the edge of the Laguna Madre Bay system. In my opinion, it is on the best residential location on the island. I also grew up going to the beach nearby and I love the close vicinity to the Padre Island National Seashore (PINS). I envisioned this property as a comfortable home to use as a launching point to enjoy the outdoors.

What makes this property unique

I think the prime location on the water has the best views of wildlife and the easiest access to the water- whether by boat, kayak, or right from the back porch. It is comfortable for an entire family, with a nice living room and three full bathrooms. The natural surroundings and quiet neighborhood make it the perfect peaceful retreat, while being close to everything the area has to offer.
