Girls trip
I brought my daughters to the area for all break, while the jelly fish caused a little damper to our beach days, the trips was still great. The unit was perfect for our needs, and we loved being able to see the sunrise from one balcony and the sunset from the other. We were within kid friendly walking distance to a variety of shops, restaurants and fun!!

Fantastic view
Great stay at this property. It was cozy and we really enjoyed the view and the short stroll to the beach from the building. The bed was very firm, as others have mentioned but we still slept just fine. Appreciated the keyless entry when coming and going, not having to keep up with a key was so nice. Great location.

This unit provided everything we needed. We were close to all the attractions, most importantly the beach was close walking distance away. The views of the different balconies were awesome. Host was great and quick to respond.

Balcony or Beach - can't go wrong
This condo was perfect for my family! The kitchen had all the utensils and pans I needed for preparing my meals. The bed was SO comfortable (can't recall last time I slept so well!) The location AND the view did NOT disappoint! We were able to see fireworks from both balconies as promised! The property itself is well maintained and the pool was a great option for when the kids needed a break from the surf. We will definitely be returning .... South Padre Island has the most beauitful waters and the views from this rental was the best part <3

Stay here
Well kept grounds/pool/lobby/elevators. Convenient to beach, pool, shops, Louies Backyard. Many, many dishes/gadgets/boogie boards (left behind). Main TV kept freezing but good wifi connection. Almost zero room to store groceries. Appliances working well. Host leaves starter tp, dish soap, hand soaps, papertowel, thank you! Quiet, family place. Master bed was comfortable for us as well as 2nd bedroom beds. We will be back!

Amazing location and property!
The condo was extremely clean and comfy. The views were unbeatable. We could see fireworks at Louie’s perfectly without the crowds, and the views to the beach were perfect. The location was also great! The unit was equipped very well with from the kitchen to extra linens, towels. My only 2 suggestions would be to update the mattress on the fold out couch, we weren’t able to use it and bought a blow up mattress instead. That and adding a lock to the bathroom. Other than that, we loved it!

Sunrise came up right in front room! Fireworks were awesome from the balcony. Well stocked and clean. Walking distance to great coffee shops and restaurants. Beach area not crowded! Well maintained landscape. If you don’t want to use app, bring quarters for laundry, $3.00 wash/$2.75 dry. Captain Murphy tours was great! Just what we need for a break! Will stay again!

Perfect Getaway on the Beach
Location, location, location!!!! Great views of the ocean and literally just a few steps away. The pool and hot tub were also perfect if we needed a break from the beach. It was a short walk down to Cocoa's for happy hour. The condo had everything we needed for a great week. Newly remodeled (it looks just like the pics online). We made all of our breakfasts, lunches and snacks. Hosts were super responsive and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Island Paradise
The property was clean & as described. The pool & hot tub have color changing lights at night along with lights on the path to the beach. The beach was nice, not crowded in April. Local restaurants we experienced were all good. The condo was clean, cute, very comfortable queen bed. The shower pressure was the only negative for me, but I do enjoy lots of pressure. We did not cook but they had lots of necessities to do so. We would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing location, great complex
We loved the short, direct walk to the beach. A community bin had beach toys to borrow which we did often. Pool was heated and sizable, with an 8’ deep end for kids to jump in. Plenty of delicious restaurants were an easy, short walk away. The other residents were extremely nice. The unit itself was clean but just a little dated. As other reviewers mentioned, the queen bed was extremely hard. But the twin beds were very comfortable! Nothing that impacted the pleasure of our stay. Overall, this was an excellent choice for our family of 4 with 2 young boys. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

It was fine.
The two balconies are nice to be able to chase the sun for the day. The deck chairs are not very comfortable . The place looks freshly painted and tiled. The kitchen was stocked well. The furniture is pretty dated, but clean. My only complaint would be I wish it was two queen beds and all the beds are rock hard. But thats a preference thing.

I always appreciate staying in a place that has a well stocked kitchen and bath. Plenty of soaps, t.p. Some spices, oil and coffee. The island shops are a bit $$$ so having time to go shop on the mainland was great. The house is perfect, no complaints.
