Priscilla D.

Our stay was great came so glad we did two months at this nice location.

The only issue was the tarp banging on the roof when the wind blew. The unit was nice and clean and stocked with supplies to get us started. Furniture very comfortable compared to other units we stayed in. Rosa and Rod assisted us promptly with any questions we had. A very good experience all around

About the host

Host profile image
I am an island person born and grew up in Puerto Rico. Marriage brought me to Dallas area but my body and soul always pulled me towards the ocean. I chose South Padre Island because the beaches and the ocean are the best of Texas.

Why they chose this property

The city of South Padre Island has many activities for all age groups. We wanted to be a part of this wonderful vacation spot where there’s deep sea and bay fishing, dolphin watch tours, and many other water activities. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants to choose from and nothing compares to the seafood of the Gulf of Mexico! Watching the amazing sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre Bay are a special treat! There’s always something to do here, no matter what time of the year. We hope you’ll come choose to stay in our relaxing “Little piece of South Padre Island”, down in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas!
