Family Spring Break
Unique property with a great location. Great for a larger family or group. The house had everything we needed and more. All the stuff for a great day at the beach was in the shed. We used the bikes a lot to get around and venture around the island. Location to beach was perfect and when done with the beach the pool area offered a nice alternative. The owners were great and very responsive if we needed anything. We had a wonderful time here with our family.

Simply amazing!
My family booked a last-minute getaway to South Padre Island over New Years and this house, and hosts were simply amazing! The house is beautifully decorated and setup with everything a group needs to be happy. The location is directly across the street from beach access, so getting to and from the beach is super easy. We've already asked to stay again next year!

Wonderful Summer Stay
We had a wonderful stay at Bill and Linda’s home. We had a large group, 2 families, with loads of kiddos in various age ranges and this house suited us all perfectly. This is by far the cleanest property we’ve stayed at on SPI and we have been coming annually for the past 6 years. It’s stocked with everything you need for a short term beach stay. It’s in an amazing location with an easy walk across the street to the beach. We actually found this walk easier than the walk from the condos we normally stay at. The pool was a saving grace for the kiddos when the jellies decided to come beachfront. The area is quiet and calm, very relaxing at all times of the day and night. There is a good view of the beach from the balconies that face it and the breeze is wonderful! We be returning!

The Getaway
The week was enhanced with beautiful weather. The property owners were very attentive to our needs and willingness to respond to any concerns. The property was unique. For us older family members we enjoyed the deck and Oceanview. The younger crowd enjoyed the pool and outside deck with a large sitting area. The location was just perfect for either walking or driving to sitesee. Would recommend highly.

I can't say enough about our stay at "DosSuenos"! My multigeneration family (ages 6 to 68) spent a week there and wish it could have been longer. The home had absolutely everything we needed and many unexpected extras. All beds were very comfortable and the kids loved sleeping together in the bunk room. The walk to the beach was much easier and shortrr than some beachfront condos we have stayed in. The owner was most helpful and very nice to work with. I highly recommend this unit and plan to return in the future.

Great house for a Great Time
There were 12 of us plus a baby and this home had everything we wanted and needed for a great vacation. The kitchen is very well equipped and has updated large appliances and a huge table that seats 12. The living room has large windows for great views of the beach in addition to a flat screen TV. The house also has wireless internet. There are three decks and the private pool and spa are a great place to spend the evening after a day at the beach. We enjoyed sitting in the several rocking chairs on front deck and watching the ocean. Numerous beach towels, beach equipment and beach chairs were available for our use. There are four bedrooms, two which are masters, and a bunk room with several beds. One upstairs bedroom has a double bed, rather than a queen, which could use a new mattress. The care taker of the property was very friendly and helpful. The location of the home is in a beautiful area of South Padre and away from most of the larger condominiums. The home was very clean and well kept. The owners were friendly and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend staying at this home.

Beach Getaway
Awesome vacation rental experience! We were a family of eight. 6 Adults, 9yo & 15yo. Upon first getting to the house the location was perfect being just steps from the sand then a few more to the beach! This allowed for a beautiful view of the sunrise & a beautiful view of the ocean from the second floor deck. The house is beautifully decorated with the beach vibes everywhere. It was exceptionally clean & stayed cooled the whole stay. The main living area/kitchen area are very open & welcoming to having family socializing as you prep/cook meals. If you choose to cook your own meals the amazing oven is a treat along with a ginormous fridge for all you grub! The host have ensured the kitchen is truly well stocked with everything you need to make a delicious meal. And as others have mentioned the ice machine is a lifesaver. We also used the outdoor grill which worked great. The beds were perfect for all 6 adults, comfortable & plenty of pillows. And the bunks were spot on for the kids. The pool was just the right size & I loved the decor they chose for the pool. The bathrooms were perfect! TVs in every bedroom/living area were a plus. Internet service worked with no problems. Plenty of outdoor eating, sitting & just lounging spaces. Plenty of towels, pool/beach toys, boogie boards & a durable wagon to take those extras to the beach. Bill & Linda we’re superb host. They provided all the info I needed prior to the trip & were prompt to answer any questions I had via text, phone or email. They were very accessible. My whole family truly enjoyed this very cozy & welcoming home. The kids especially loved the pool for late night quiet swims. Thank you to Bill & Linda for allowing us to enjoy it. Felicia

Specious house, good location, but lack of privacy
The house was big and spacious and in a perfect location right across from the beach access. It is equipped with ample items for the beach and for your stay. Although the listings pictures do seem to be outdated as there is a new house right across the street that blocks 2/3 of the beach view. We would have given it a higher rating review if it had not been for the privacy issues the last night of our stay, the jacuzzi jets not working and the swimming pool being somewhat murky. The Host has a neighbor friend reporting every person/car coming and going of guests and they have cameras surrounding the entire property that were not disclosed in the listing as per VRBO policy. We were given prior approval to have additional family members over for dinner and to hangout by the pool (never stayed the night) but was cut short at 9pm due to the hosts bombarding us with calls to say they were watching us and we would have to make everyone leave or they were calling the cops. Little to our surprise when we were escorting our family out there were cops sitting outside. Nothing was said as there was no loud noise or party going on, it was a family gathering for dinner by the pool.
