Sunchase IV by South Padre Resort Rental

8/10 Good

"There were a few issues with the rental #304. The refrigerator was not working. We managed by, but frankly it is unacceptable. The housekeeper should had noticed and reported to get it fixed. The door lock is close to break as well. Sometimes locks, sometimes not. And the shower door handle was missing. If I knew, I would had brought 6 wine glasses from IKEA, and left it there as a gift. I know, things get broken, but glasses are cheap… Generally, for the price we paid it was an Ok deal (apart from the broken refrigerator)."
