This two-bedroom South Padre Island condo is located right on Gulf Blvd., directly across the street from the beach. Spend a day sunbathing on the sands or splashing in the warm Gulf waters.

Kick back and relax in the living area with its matching leather sofa and loveseat or gather at the glass-topped dining room table with colorful seating for four to plan out your days or dine on delicious, home-cooked meals prepared in the adjacent, full kitchen. A breakfast bar with three counter stools also offers casual seating for snacks or coffee.

The bright kitchen offers drawers and cabinets packed with essential cookware and dinnerware as well as an array of appliances including a four-burner electric range, microwave oven, toaster, coffeemaker, refrigerator, and dishwasher to help you keep things nice and tidy during your stay. A community grill and seating area is also provided poolside if you want to have a cookout during your stay.

Both bedrooms can be found upstairs: the master bedroom has a plush queen-size bed, the guest room has two twins, and the loft area has a comfortable futon. With two bedrooms, a furnished loft, and two-and-a-half baths, this rental sleeps up to eight guests very comfortably.

Relax in the shared pool and spa or take a short stroll across the street where you can walk miles of pristine Gulf Coast beach. Drive up to Sea Turtle, Inc. just two miles north to learn about the rehabilitation and conservation of sea turtles. Or head out into, under, or above the water through a number of local companies offering Jet Ski rentals, diving instruction, and parasailing adventures!

Take the kids down to the Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark featuring 25 acres of world-class warm weather attractions, just two-and-a-half miles south. Or book an offshore or deep sea fishing excursion from one of several local marinas and try your hand at landing kingfish, shark, dorado, and tuna.

Great location

We enjoyed our short stay, everything was so convenient for my family, a couple of things we encountered no hot water while showering and our designated parking spots were taken by a random people the two nights we stayed, other than that we had a wonderful time

Great location

Loved the location for where we wanted to be, close to grocery store and restaurants that we were looking for. The place is dated and could use some sprucing up update the furniture and beds and add a dresser to one of the upstairs bedrooms. There were no serving bowls or storage containers, limited cooking pans. I would consider staying again if there were some minor changes. Both places on either side of us were updated and painted very nicely

Clean and conveniently located

Clean, convenient location - close to beach, stores, restaurants, adequately furnished although livingroom furniture wasn't very comfortable. Kitchen had enough cookware/tableware, but the dishwasher didn't latch even while running, so you had to really push it shut or it leaked. Don't expect management/maintenance to show up for anything you call about. They will only come when you're desperately trying to enter the house with the ridiculous 10 digit code they give for entry. Despite the negatives, I'd still stay here again.

Great location; stingy on supplies

Location and condo where great; really liked the complex and it was family friendly. However, condo unit lacked basics to make a week stay for a family of five efficient. We had only five forks for the week. Half the drinking glasses provided were small baby food type jars. We had to buy additional toilet paper and dishwasher detergent, and there were no potholders/ oven mitts to use with the oven. In addition, there were no instructions on how to use the TV and the remote that was provided did not seem to operate the television.

Disappointed

On the surface it looked average, but considering all the repair and safety issues. I can’t rate higher than two and should rate it a one. When we arrived there were several light bulbs that were burned out, when you opened the dishwasher it tilted forward flopped onto the floor, the patio doors wouldn’t lock, the coffee pot was cracked and there was very little hot water. We notified our contact of these issues, the coffee pot was taken care of right away but it took seven days and several emails before the light bulbs, water heater and the dishwasher were dealt with and then only partially. The dishwasher needed to mounted to the cabinet which it was and the latch needed to be replaced. We left on the 31st and the dishwasher latch hasn’t been dealt with yet. We ended up wiping up the water on the floor every time we used it. We asked them to fix the latches on the patio doors. Their solution was a stick in the track to block opening the door. I had already done this. Doors still aren’t fixed and by the way I took my dowels with me. There is also no strike plate on the deadbolt for the front door and there is only about a quarter inch of worn and weathered wood holding it in place. There are also shorts in the wiring for the porch lights after the bulbs were replaced they would flicker on and off several times before they turned on. There is also an uncovered outlet in the second bedroom. There were other minor issues like the clip for the internet cable was broken. At the lightest bump you could lose internet, the stove light was burned out, we ended up washing all the dishes before we used them because they didn’t feel clean, the drain lines under the downstairs bathroom sink have a dirt build up and don’t appear to ever have been cleaned. After the poor response to our initial requests we just gave up on expecting them to repair the rest of the problems. We left at least four texts, nine reminders and two phone messages to our repair contact and never received a response on either. Not only was this property is a state of disrepair, their response to our requests was slow and in some cases completely ignored. If we could have afforded it we would have left and found other housing but unfortunately that wasn’t an option. I am quite disappointed that the vetting of these properties was not more through.

Overall a great experience

The grocery store was down the street, beach was 2 blocks away, condo was clean, but if there is a complaint, bring blankets, house was cold and there were no blankets. Also dryer did not want to turn on, had to play with it a bit and the dishwasher is not bolted into the cabinets, so it tends to fall over anytime you add a dish. Small issues, nothing to change our trip or a return visit. Thank you for the opportunity to stay.

Ok condo. Needs work

You cannot see the water from anywhere in this condo. I bought a can opener and left it, but pans are awful, no pot holders. They put a new washer/dryer in, but really needs some repairs. Close walk to water. Just disappointed that they lied and said you have a Texas view of the ocean.....unless that means no view
