Great place, great stay, immediate area is not pretty on the eyes

First and foremost, this place is fantastic and the communication with the owners was super easy. Perfect size for 5 people, I would not go with more than that if you want to sit around together in the family room. We did not have a chance to use the pool, but it is a normal small community pool that I’m sure the kids would have loved, but if there are a lot of people there, would quickly be overrun. The location is great for getting to and from the island without the normal party crowds right next door like a condo or hotel in the island would surely give you. In fact, the place is extremely good at keeping inside sound in and outside sound out for the most part. It was very quiet every morning on the deck. That was a major plus for our loud talking family. Close to HEB and Walmart. The only downside, and I say this only for people to keep eyes wide open when booking, is that the immediate surrounding area and view from the deck aren’t the best. Construction ongoing and the balcony faces the Walmart across the canals rather than the bay. Again, that is a minor inconvenience for us and certainly would not keep us from booking there again. I write it only so that if a view from the balcony is extremely important to you, this may not be your place. Overall, a fantastic stay and highly recommend!

Nice condo in a great location.

Was in the area for work. The condo was conveniently located close to restaurants and shopping. Nice, well maintained home. The bonus for this trip was the condo's proximity to SpaceX and getting a close up view of a launch.

Green house

House was nice. Nice layout. One issue was stairs to get in location. 3 flights. House could have been cleaner. There were 7 of us and only 1 towel and wash cloth per person so we had to do laundry. The host was great. Any issues or questions we had were answered promptly.

Great location and friendly host!

Here's a sample review for a beach condo with those features: 1. **Location**: The condo is right on the water, providing breathtaking views of the bay from the balcony and living areas. The beach is just steps away, making it incredibly convenient for sunbathing, swimming, or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the shore. 2. **Cleanliness**: The condo was impeccably clean upon arrival. The housekeeping staff clearly takes pride in their work, as every corner of the unit was spotless. The fresh linens and well-maintained furniture added to the overall sense of comfort and luxury. 3. **Customer Service**: The customer service was top-notch. From the moment we booked the condo to the end of our stay, the staff was friendly, responsive, and attentive to our needs. Any questions or requests we had were promptly addressed, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. 4. **Amenities**: The condo is well-equipped with all the modern amenities one could need. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and utensils for preparing meals, and the living area was cozy and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. High-speed Wi-Fi, a large flat-screen TV, and comfortable beds made our stay even more pleasant.

Great choice

The house was wonderful. I cannot say enough about Tim and Vanessa's warm welcome. They took the time to call the morning of check in and made me feel like I did not need to worry about a think. They also went out of their way to help me look for a fishing charter. I do a lot of rentals and they went above and beyond any other experience. Thank you both and the next time we come to the area I will certainly look you up.

Nice get away

Renting was easy. The condo was nice. The only thing was, I never noticed that it was a 3rd floor unit. We are in our mid 70s and my husband has a bad knee. We were ok cause we didn't go up & down the stairs frequently, but we might have if the weather had been better. Also, it was difficult to find cause the address was not visible.

This condo was amazing! Very clean and loaded with everything from beach towels to all kitchen utensils! Beds were comfortable. Just get ready to walk up some stairs when loading and unloading your car but other than that everything was great! The balcony was spacious with 4 chairs and a table, very relaxing! We were very impressed! Ms. Vanessa communicated promptly with me and was very friendly and courteous! 5 stars for us!

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa & Tim

Host profile image
We are licensed real estate agents. We love the water and to fish. We are also avid golfers and enjoy being on the Island when we are not working. We have lived here in South Texas for over 20 years and lucky to call this place home.

Why they chose this property

It is a very cozy condo. It is extremely quiet and peaceful yet minutes away from the beech. There is so many activities to do and enjoy in this area. The deck is so nice to sit out and enjoy a refreshment or cocktail and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. There is a championship golf course located approximately 15 minutes away in Laguna Vista. It is 18 holes and beautiful views of the bay on many holes. Lower Laguna Madre offers world class fishing from the bay to offshore.

What makes this property unique

South Padre Island is only 10-15 minutes away via boat or car. We are right across the street from a grocery store HEB, Walmart, and Walgreens. A Starbucks is only minutes away. The boat ramp is right down the street on Pompano 1 block away! You can sit on the deck and watch fireworks and if your staying when there is a Space X launch you can see it and feel it from the deck! There is a lot of unique owner operated restaurant and shops to visit in Port Isabel and the Island.
