Perfection!!!

Too many things to list. Loved ALL OF IT!!! My favorite part was sitting on the patio late in the afternoon and enjoying the breeze. Perfect spot for an afternoon nap. I’d go back tomorrow if I could.

South Padre Beach Blast

We loved our stay! The condo was everything that was advertised. The view of the pools & beach was lovely. We brought our dogs & they had a good time too as there are plenty of dog friendly grassy areas & the walk to the beach was easy! From grandkids to pets, the family action was a hit!

Great condo!

Our family had a wonderful time at the condo. Spacious and well equipped. The view is amazing. Heated pool was great. The only thing I would change is supplying more household supplies, like aluminum foil, garbage bags and dish soap, maybe upping the charge per night to cover those costs, that way your guests don’t have to buy 40 trash bags or an entire roll of foil for a 7 day stay. Would definitely stay here again and again.

Lovely family getaway on South padre Iskand

We had a great time at this property! The condo was well appointed with all of the usual toiletries and amenities as well as beach towels, beach chairs and a beach cart. This made packing a breeze! The Kitchen was great for prepping and cooking meals for the family. We enjoyed watching the fireworks just off the balcony one evening too! Highly recommend staying here! Thanks for a great stay!

Nice Place to Stay for Two Couples!

The condo in the listing is very accurate. It is on the 9th floor elevators run frequently very rarely do you have to wait too long for the elevator it has a wonderful view! There's a large kitchen and dining area and a small living room perfect for I would say 5 to 6 people comfortably to sit on the couches. The master bedroom is great it has a fantastic view of the ocean a comfortable bed it's own bathroom and a big closet to store all your things. The owners were also very kind and left a buggy that you can carry your things down to the beach. There are plenty of towels and even extra chairs on the patio that you can take down to the beach. The kitchen oven refrigerator stove all worked great so it's a great place to cook your own meals pots and pans are a plenty there wasn't anything that we needed that they didn't have there. We ate most of our meals in the condo. There are restaurants and stores within walking distance on the street or if you prefer you can walk down the beach and get to some nice restaurants that way we did eat out 3 times. The location of the condo is great it's a very short distance out to the beach it was very busy but everybody was very respectful even when it was crowded 4th of July weekend I found it to be quite enjoyable. I give this condo five stars,however,I do need to mention that the second bedroom bed is extremely uncomfortable. Luckily it was just two couples so my husband and I were able to stay in the two twin beds.
