Enjoyed our stay

Family enjoyed our first trip to Padre, home was very nice in a nice area and close to the beach. Only issues were the inaccurate available bedding as stated online, and the fact that the pool rules listed outside said it was not to be used after 10pm.

Great location

Only 1/2 block from beach! Beautiful back yard and pool was perfect! Didn’t realize owners/ or someone lived/rented upstairs but never encountered them other than seeing someone walk upstairs. The unit was very clean and everything worked great!

Great Beach House!

We loved our stay at this cozy beach house. The backyard and pool were great, it was a short walk to the beach, and overall we had a great experience. I had two main issues with this booking: 1. Communication with the property manager (Vacasa). We had reached out to them roughly a week before our stay with a couple of questions. One of them was about the “gas grill” that was listed in the description. They waited until 2 days before our booking to get back to us. This house, in fact, did NOT have a gas grill, which was misleading and made us change our dinner plans at the last moment. 2. This house was severely understocked from a supplies perspective. One roll of paper towels, one trash bag, and our biggest gripe: ONE EXTRA ROLL OF TOILET PAPER. In a house that boasts 10 people, I was severely disappointed in this. At this price point, you’d hope for a bit more that that on all fronts. And we ultimately had to make a grocery store run for what I would consider necessities. So the house itself was great, awesome location, great amenities, close to the beach, awesome pool and all that. But I believe the property management company (Vacasa, a large conglomerate of rental properties) is cutting some corners there.

Nice place

We really enjoyed the backyard area. We were 2 families of 4 that came to stay for vacation. The posting made us think this was a 2-story but it is only a one story for rent, the upstairs area is not available to renters/tenants. There is one master bedroom with bathroom attached (bathroom is right next to kitchen — something to be aware of). The tiles were cracked in that bathroom and grout needs to be redone. Didn’t bother us too much but might bother some. The other two rooms are across the living room area on opposite ends of the house, with a bathroom/laundry room in between. We loved the pool, there is an actual little grassy yard with beautiful flowers/landscaping. They had pool toys, a grill, pool furniture and patio furniture. It was a great fit for us and close/walking distance to the beach. Furniture and bedding is a little different than pictured. The living room furniture is a bit run down. Loved the dining room set and the counter area for eating. The house could probably use a few updates/repairs but we really enjoyed it. Also loved the key situation so we didn’t have to worry about carrying around and losing!

Nice family vacation in South Padre

The GOOD: This is a very cute house minutes walk from the beach with a delightful shaded backyard with private pool! The house had plenty of towels, soap, detergent and kitchen supplies and the air conditioning and washer and dryer worked very well. The pool was the highlight! When the beach got too busy, we would come home and spend the rest of the day in the pool. There were 2 grills but we didn't use them so I cannot comment on them. Neighborhood was quiet. TV worked well and there is ROKU with Disney plus for the kids! The BAD: The place has a musty odor, which we got used to eventually. The bathroom caulking was riddled with mold in both bathrooms and there was rust in the tub of one bathroom. The tub didn't drain well so water accumulated quite a bit when showering the kids. The morning of our departure, there were numerous tiny ants in the kitchen - they seemed to be coming in through an electrical outlet on the wall. We had a very good time, but the place is a bit overpriced given the above mentioned issues. Recs: bring lots of bottled water, dryer sheets, scented candle/air freshener and bug spray.

Nice home

We spent a couple weeks on South Padre Island at the butterfly vine escape beach house. It’s about half a block off the beach, an easy walk. The house was clean and well appointed. We did have an issue with Internet service that was quickly taken care of by the property manager who provided his own modem to replace the one at the house. We would come back here again.

House infested with cockroach and also I found a poop of rat.

We rented a house for 1 week (August 26 – September 2) to be safe for this Covid-19 situation. We had to leave the vacation house Saturday afternoon because it is infested with cockroach and also, I found a poop of rat (I have some pictures). We arrive Wednesday at night to the home, the home apparently looked clean but Friday early we started to see cockroaches. We reported this issue same Friday at morning to Vacasa (company who rents the house) and this company sent us a pesticide can. We spent several hours killing roach and cleaning the house. My little son was scare and crying before to go to the bed because he didn't want to see a “Monster” roach in his bed. I went to the bed at 2:00 am cleaning the pesticide in the bathroom, kitchen, dining, and living room. We have phobia to this insect. While I was clean the house, I found poop of rat in the house. Saturday at morning we called to Vacasa and an agent told us that a pest control company will visit the house soon. Before noon, we called again and another agent told me that Erick (supervisor of Vacasa) will call us to help us with this problem. Erick called us at noon and told us that his company can´t provide the pets control service and the only solution was that my husband and me fumigated again or Erick will do it himself with a little pesticide can. Without a real solution, for our health and safety, we had to leave the vacation house immediately. The pool is smaller than looks in the pictures. We had issues with internet service. When I called to Vrbo an agent told me that they could not help us with anything, that I had to talk with Vacasa. Vrbo informed me that they not return a partial fee amount of the time that I could not stay in the house for obvious reasons.
