Family spring break trip.

Very nice condo. The pool was not kept warm was a disappointment though. Also be on the 10th floor was a little scary if there would of been a fire because they had the doors to stairs locked when we tried them so no exit except the elevator.

Beautifully equipped for family.

This condo was spacious and well equipped for our family. The views were phenomenal with 3 different balconies to catch sunrises and sunsets. We appreciated the many offerings such as beach chairs, umbrella, volleyball, etc. We met several other owners and all were friendly and ready with great tips for enjoying the island.

Beach Front Penthouse

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. The views of the beach were amazing. The place was nicely decorated and very up to date. All bedrooms were roomy and nice beds. There was plenty of towels including beach towels. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. The communication with the property manager was top notch and responded quickly to my requests. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Christmas Vacation

This was our first time to South Padre Island and the condo was absolutely perfect for our family. We had 11 of us ranging in ages 3yrs old and up, the upstairs loft was perfect for the 4 teenagers we had. The spaces bedrooms on the main level were perfect for the rest of us. To be able to open up the balcony door and sit outside and listen to the waves crashing and watching the sun come up was picture perfect. Everyone at the property was very friendly and even before we arrived everyone at Frankie was easy to work with and very communicative. It felt like this was our 100th time there not our first. We will definitely be back and be (hopefully) staying in the same unit again.

Fantastic location and great views

Perfectly close to restaurants and shopping while still being quiet at night. Even the grocery store is within willing distance! The loft is a tight squeeze but the teens made it home and they had their own bathroom upstairs.

Spacious with great views only a couple of improvements needed...

Plenty of beds, everything you need for both in the home and going to beach. Having beach chairs and umbrellas was great! Little things like mosquito spray, sunscreen, beach toys, plenty of beach towels, all pleasant surprises. There was even WD-40 in the closet which was used to lubricate the squeaky door! Kitchen fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and all the kitchen tools needed. Could use some Tupperware containers with lids. The cleaning service needs some training as they don't pay attention to detail, but not "dirty". Bar glasses on open shelf are really dusty and dirty, there were dishes put away that were put up dirty, as in used, and not washed. Upstairs bathroom constantly smells like a sewer, think the pipes need looked at. The mattresses need to be replaced. Springs poke you and minimal support. All three downstairs bedrooms were horrible. No one's back is feeling good right now. Not sure on upstairs as the kids slept there and they didn't complain. Replace with tempurpedic and advertise that they are tempurpedic, you will have people rent for that reason alone! Internet is non existent. No matter the time of day or night. So bad that you cannot even watch TV. Had to use hotspot on the phone to watch one TV. Let the front desk know and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Negatives only given so they can be improved. Overall it was a great stay and would rent again (if beds replaced!). Thank you!

Family get-away

Great for extended families or large groups. We had 12 people in our group that ranged from 81-12 years of age. Place is on the beach with a private entrance to the beach, around the corner from the strip, restaurants, grocery store, convenience stores, etc. Also has a nice pool, grills for cooking out, exercise equipment, private parking lot. The place had all we needed, towels, appliances, dishes, beach umbrellas, boogie board, etc. Definitely a great place to stay.

Nice place but overpriced

It was a nice place to stay. Only complaint is with the added tax, cleaning fees, host fees at the end of booking It was overpriced. The upstairs loft is for shorter people. Pictures made it look bigger than it was.

We highly recommend Penthouse Dahktari for short or long vacation rentals

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penthouse Dahktari! This was our first visit to South Padre Island & The Aquarius’ complex central, beachfront location made for quick & easy access to everything on the Island & in Port Isabel. The building is old, but extremely well maintained & lovingly cared for. Penthouse Dahktari is eclecticly decorated in a combination of modern functional & Tex Mex kitsch that played very well over our 3-week stay in the Condo with family. The views to the East, South & West are simply spectacular! Penthouse Dahktari is well stocked with condo, kitchen & beach amenities. Everything is in very good to excellent condition. Furniture & beds are solidly built & comfortable. We highly recommend Penthouse Dahktari for short or long vacation rentals!

South Padre Island Penthouse

We loved this 10th floor Penthouse. Everything was perfect. 3 bedrooms plus a kids' loft. 3 bathrooms , full size washer and dryer. Beautiful kitchen with granite countertop with bar stools, huge dining table that's big enough to seat a large group. The decks with chairs makes it so easy to watch the sun come up over the gulf or to see the large ships and fishing boats. Walkdown to the beach with beach chairs, and umbrellas, toys, for the kids to dig in the sand and a cooler with wheels for your refreshments. This PENTHOUSE HAS EVERYTHING.

Absolutely Perfect!

This place was more than we expected, it has everything; close to great beach access, close to town, pool that is shaded a large part of the day (great for kids). The condominium is larger than it looks, easily fit large families. It is so welcoming you feel like you have walked into someone's home. Mike & Bill are the perfect hosts. We heard from them 10 min after booking and got a response anytime within minutes. We are already looking forward to our next stay!
