Wonderful location
The only issue we had was the couch was so low my tall husband couldn’t easily get on or off it. It wasn’t comfortable for him. Everything else was good.

Great Location Near Beach
Property was as described and very clean. We spent most of our time doing activities outside so didn’t spend much time in the house. The only downside is it was a little cramped for 6 people but that didn’t bother us too much.

our spring break vacation
my family of 6 went during spring break and the weather wasn't pleasant but we still made it fun. Very close to the beach walking distance. The only thing is it was very small, it had everything for you too cook. Maybe a chance It would be changing the chairs in the kitchen, the couch as well, we didn't really sat on it because we started to itch, it look wear out. But it was doable.

Beautiful small property at a great price and quiet location. Everything needed to cook and beach accessories are provided. TV’s with hulu and other apps a plus. Beach is across the street and we were able to see fireworks from the porch. We had a great time. Thank you!!

Highly Recommended
We traveled to South Padre Island for the 4th of July with some friends & found this cute property to rent during our stay. The house was very clean & within walking distance to the beach. The owners were quick to respond with any questions we had. The only negative to this property, is that it only has 1 bathroom. But with our group, it wasn't a big deal. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in South Padre Island. Looking forward to going back again, hopefully next summer.

My family and I were so pleased with our stay. Check in was easy, super clean, and was a short walk to the beach and convenience store. Smart TV's were a plus for movies at night. We can't wait to come back.

Spectacular stay!!!
We loved every last bit of our stay! Contact was always at a 100% with the owner never had an issue with trying to contact them! The house was supplied with everything needed and extras! We stayed a week and it was the best time we have all had! I had a range of all ages and everyone fit perfectly! Our views were amazing! So was our beach experience! It was so close to everything ! The shower was huge and relaxing! They even had a outdoor shower to rinse off before heading in! The beds were extremely comfortable as well! Would recommend to anyone. And definitely coming back soon!

This condo is absolutely beautiful. The beach theme made the stay more enjoyable. The rooms were nice and smelled clean and fresh. My girls enjoyed the bunk beds and their own room with TV. I absolutely loved that it was close to a beach access and very easy to walk. We will definitely be returning!

We will be back!
Such a great place. Ernest was seriously amazing and very accommodating with special requests. He communicated back quickly. The beach access was great. It was so close which made it nice to go to and from when my son needed his nap. The porch was a great size and nice for hanging out on. The only thing I wanted that we didn’t have was a second mirror. Getting ready for dinner was a real task with only one mirror and three of us needing it! I would 100% come back to this place. It was updated and had good decor. Lots of light from the windows and even a little shower to rinse all the sand off before going inside.

Great spot!
Fantastic property with great beach access. Literally a two minute walk across Gulf Blvd. The place was clean, cute and roomy. Ernesto was super easy to communicate with. Our upstairs neighbors were not as considerate as one would hope, but that is in no way a reflection on the property nor the owner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!

Great Beach House
My family and I thuroughly enjoyed staying in this rental. It had absolutely every thing we needed to ensure we had a great time. Access to the beach was less than a 5 minute walk. Also the kitchen was fully stocked with plates, bowls, cups, and everything else we needed. Each room came equipped with a flat screen roku tv connected to the property's fast wifi so we could watch our favorite shows in the evening. The property also came equipped with beach towels, chairs, and a umbrella to keep you out of the sun. We really enjoyed our stay and will 100% come back and stay again! Thank you Ernesto for the great experience!
