Absolute perfection
This quaint little condo is clean, recently remodeled and a few yards from the beach. The owner provided everything you would ever need for a stay. If you have more than 2 guests bring extra towels. The complex is dated but well maintained and you cannot beat the views from your balcony. It’s also quiet and secure. I’ve tried the fancy high rise pricey condos but this one will be my go to from now on.

Thank you for your kind words and I do hope you come back! There are 4 towels in the bathroom and there are 4 more in the drawers under the bed. I will double check my instructions to make sure that's clear.

Smaller than I thought. Nice view of ocean. We were only provided 2 bath towels for a two day stay. No ice or icemaker in refrigerator. Was ok, I guess for the price I was expecting a nicer condo.

Wow. The condo is 593 sf. Had you read the welcome packet, you would know there are two towels in the bathroom with four more in the dresser and 6 beach towels in the drawers under the bed. There is an ice maker inside the freezer. Had you contacted me, I would have told you where the extra towels were and how to access the ice. You chose to stay during Spring break which is the highest season on the island and the prices were reflective of that.

Great spot for a couple- right on the water! Even though we didn’t get sun, the view was spectacular! Rene was very responsive to any questions we had too. Condo is right next door to Wanna Wanna which we enjoyed too. Thanks for everything!

The views are stunning and can't be beat. We stayed over Christmas vacation. The heated pool was a plus and having laundry on site was a blessing. The jets in the hot tub did not really appear to work, but that is a property manager issue. The living room furniture was different than pictured, but that was fine. The queen size bed is very high and was hard for me to get in to at 5' 1, but it was super comfortable. Overall was a great experience and communication with the property owner was very quick and accommodating.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to review. The jets are operated separately. There is a switch by the pool sign. There is also a little step stool you can use next time, if needed.

Perfect location on the beach
We enjoyed staying in this condo as the unit is right on the beach and the balcony is perfect for a morning coffee. The apartment can use some TLC as previously mentioned by another customer. Some stain on the kitchen and bathroom cabinets go a long way in making this a perfect unit for 2 adults and perhaps if you have small kids it works. The ceiling in the living room was patched due to a leak we presume but the entire ceiling should be painted as well as the ceiling in the bathroom as it is peeling in way of the shower. Also a bug service would be helpful as we caught some of the big brown Texas famous beetles. We certainly would come back again to this unit.

Decent and adequate
Decent place to stay. It could use some routine maintenance and TLC. Having a “real” closet would be nice and clean patio windows would certainly make the ocean front view more enjoyable from the inside when it’s hot and humid outside 😬 It seems that the unit directly above us was very active during the night…. Moving of furniture and rolling carts with lots of heavy footsteps???

Our first South Padre experience.
This is a charming one bedroom condo, it was just the right size for my husband and myself and I think it would work if we brought our two grown kids too, but any more than that and it could be a little crowded. The location is to die for, right on the beach, early sunrise views and quiet evenings on the balcony are a must. I can't wait to come back and will definately stay in 204 again. Renee is a fabulous host and easy to communicate with.

Perfect for our family
It was perfect for our family of 3, other properties I looked at had a queen bed and sofa sleeper. I didn’t want our toddler to sleep away from us, the bunk bed in the bedroom was perfect. She loved sleeping on the top bed and coming down the steps. We also wanted to be close to the beach for a quick walk to a toilet with potty training. The view was perfect, our toddler would wake up every morning and first thing look out the window to see the beach. The amenities was perfect, had everything we needed.

Right on the beach
It was great to be right on the beach, just a few steps to be on the sand. The view from the balcony was amazing. The pool and hot tub were clean. We enjoyed that it was open until 11 each night! The condo was clean and the extra towels were really nice, especially because it was so humid - there was no way to dry them by hanging them outside! The only downside I can come up with is that the main bed was VERY FIRM! Too firm for me, so I opted to sleep on the couch. The bunk beds were comfy according to my teens. We would stay here again if we make it back to SPI.

Seamless check in with Code and key option. Unobstructed view of the ocean from the balcony is spectacular! Enjoyed many long walks/runs on the beach. Several restaurants in short walking distance. Milos coffee house serves a lovely house blend,. Well equipped condo - suggest an extra tea towel to dry dishes. Met some friendly neighbors. Pool is heated - an added bonus since March can be cool and it was!! Hosts were responsive from check in to check out - Will be back.

small but great little place
Overall it is very nice place. You cannot get any closer to the surf. we walked 3 to 4 miles in both directions and nothing is closer to the water. the view from the balcony is great, you can see the beach and miles in each direction. The bath is tight but the shower is very nice(just know that the only way 2 people can be in the bathroom at the same time is if one is in the shower). The kitchen has anything you need to cook, the fridge is new the counter and sink are island cute.(we call the size of kitchen a one butt). The bed is very comfortable(memory foam). Lots of drawer space but not much hanging space. The resort is old but very well kept. It is very clean and the staff and neighbors are nice. The laundry room was good, 2 plus 2. We did not swim in the pool but many did and it looked very nice. The location is walk-able to many restaurants and the turtle and bird sanctuary. Parking seemed about right. the only negative about the resort is the hallway lighting. it is right at the bedroom windows, many of the units had the bedroom windows blacked out. this can make sleeping difficult for some. All said, we would certainly rent this unit again.

A Fantastic Experience
This property was just perfect for us. It as all it was reported to be by pictures and narrative on the VRBO website. We were on the second floor with a balcony facing the Gulf of Mexico. The weather was just perfect and we spent some good quality and relaxing time on the balcony, coffee and favorite books in hand. This property is in close proximity to all the area attractions and a quaint beach bar and grill is only a very short walk along the beach. The owner of the property was easily contacted and quickly answered the very few questions we did have. All in all a fantastic experience.

Beautiful Condo and great location!
The condo was small but well done and right on the beach. Property was next to my favorite beach bar wanna wanna! The only issue we had is that we came in late and the numeric lock code did not work. We were stuck with no place to go in the middle of the night with two teenagers after a long 6 hour drive. Luckily I found an unlocked window and climbed through. I read this same issue in another review. The lock seems pretty old, I think it's time to replace it. The Property manager was apologetic but I think offering some sort of credit would have been nice. Other than the issue at check in our stay was great!

I just got home and I am wishing I booked for longer. I have never been to South Padre so I was nervous and it was spring break. Thankfully this location was calm and the spring breakers that were there were respectful. The condo is so adorable the beds were comfortable and the view is breathtaking. The owner even has boogie boards games and other items to use. I will be going back!! Recommend 10/10❣️

Right on the beach!
I already miss that balcony view and the soothing sound of the water. We were there a week. Fantastic location. Living area was just right for our family of three. Bed was firm but we slept very well. Son used the bunk one night and used the living room couch other nights—no complaints about either. People were friendly. Beach access was great and we hit up the pool and hot tub a few times at night. Laundry equipment was fine but we had to run out to buy our own detergent—none in unit or in the laundry room or at main desk. Toilet tank took forever to refill, and the flush didn’t instill a lot of confidence! And the unit’s keypad lock required us to enter the code (or push the lock button) twice before the deadbolt fully swung into place (or fully retracted). These things are worth a mention but don’t detract from my overall rating. I can’t get over how much I appreciated the simple pleasure of sitting on that balcony to read, take in a sunrise, listen to music, and feel the sea breeze on my face.
