Great location by the north end of the island, across the street from the turtle rescue center, the birding center and the nature trail by the convention center. In the summer the fireworks display on Thursday and Friday nights is right by the condo.
Condo is comfortable and provides sleeping for 5 if someone sleeps on the couch and the kitchen is adequate for everyone. Read some complaints about the mattress in the bedroom but I was perfectly comfortable and it was fine with me.
The owners provide kitchen utensils, ice trays, dishes, glasses and cups. Everything you need in the kitchen is there and they provide a Keurig coffee maker. Bring, sugar and creamer for your coffee. There is liquid hand soap provided in the kitchen and bathroom but no other toiletries that I could find. Having some sort of bath soap/body wash would be a nice touch.
Check in at the office was easy to get the parking pass and the location of the condo right on Padre Blvd is easy in and out. Because the island is not too long, it's no big deal to drive to restaurants, shops, clubs, etc. I saw a yellow island bus around the area so there is transportation available.
There is a private gate to the beach and a faucet to rinse off. You can also access the beach by a public drive at the end of the parking lot. I liked the location and the fact that this condo complex buildings are only 3 stories tall. There are no elevators however.
The owners sent an e-mail with good suggestions for restaurants and things to do while visiting and I thought that was a nice touch. I would return to this condo unit in the future and as it is very nicely decorated it makes for a pleasant stay.
