Awesome Balcony

We were wanting a warm get away with ocean view we live in Colorado. The balcony was inset on the 6th floor perfect for relaxing in the morning with a cup of coffee and an ocean view. The condo was clean and comfortable. The bed was huge and sheets were soft. The sheets felt brand new. We used the stairs often for exercise. It was nice to have a garage for parking. It was centrally located on the island. We would definately stay again.

Great location!

Condo was almost perfect for what we were looking for. The bed was super comfortable and the unit was clean for the most part. Tiny ants which we are told come in when it rains were why we downrated cleanliness. The listing doesn’t mention the private pool wasn’t heated and the hot tub wasn’t until we complained. Didn’t have a chance to use.

Beach bliss…

This was a great stay for us! Dog friendly beach lodgings with easy pool and beach access. The weather was just perfect too! You can see they are working in new floors and updates- which was not expected- but will be nice for the next visitors! We will happily return to this one! Thanks so much Condo Ladies!

Great view of Gulf

This place was great. Great view, really nice decor, clean. Property managers were promptly responsive and knowledgeable. Only problems were the elevator being out on the first days of our arrival and issues with the wi-fi and television which were resolved with the help of the property manager.

Great Rental on San Padre Island

The condo was just as described. Very clean & neat. Short walk across sand to beach. View was awesome from balcony. The condo looks like it was remodeled in recent years & very well kept. The wood flooring needs replaced, but I'm sure it takes a beating from sand, water & renters. All kitchen dishes, pots, coffee maker, etc were neatly in the cupboards. Would have been nice to have some salt & pepper & a few spices. Was so glad to have beach umbrella, chairs, small cooler there for our use. We flew to the island so couldn't bring items like that. Have one suggestion, a beach wagon would be useful but don't know if that is practical with a rental. TV remotes were rather difficult to use but one call to owner & maintenance guy showed up so that was handled. quickly. Water pressure in shower is low but that is minor. The location is great. Very quiet & safe. Would definately rent this condo again! Fun time in San Padre Island!!

IT WAS OKAY

I wanna say the condo in a whole was nice inside. Very well taken care of . The bed sheets were not changed i had to take them and wash them because there was sand in both beds and we didnt go to the beach until the following day they could also be upgraded old and dingy(one on pull out bed..) . There was also a cover up shaw in the closet they provided and boy did it smell. Also communication with the manager/owner wasnt good at all she was very rude .

The location is perfect. The unit is cute and comfortable, not sure we couldve fit a 5th person. The only improvement i would suggest is having some coffee and at least salt and pepper available.

Perfect Start to Summer!

Condo was perfect for our needs! Owner was kind and got us a replacement umbrella when we discovered the one in the closet was broken. The luggage cart and elevator made getting up to our unit a breeze and the view was gorgeous. The unit is beautifully decorated and the pullout sofa sleeper was comfy enough for our two pre-teens. There is also adequate seating within the space which was great! Thank you Laura and Judy for sharing your home with our family!

About the host

Host profile image
When my mom retired and my youngest graduated we decided to buy a condo as a hobby. Now we have 9 units on the island. It's a hobby gone wild!

Why they chose this property

We have several units at Florence I. We like the relaxed atmosphere of the building. We have full time maintenance on the premises and the building is very well kept up.

What makes this property unique

Unbeatable beach view from the 6th floor balcony and inside the living area of this totally updated 1BR 1 bath condo at The Florence. Sleeps 5. Self check in and keyless entry.
