That furniture is not worth anything, its faded, dirty & Very uncomfortable. Pots & pans need replaced all the teflon is scratched & worn out. Not having laundry on premises is tough for long term tenants like us. Location is great for us to our favorite places to eat, Shop, beach walks. Condo is ok, but with a little upgrade it would be much better, & comfortable for the days we cant enjoy outside Padre.

Not as expected
Great communication with property management company until I arrived at unit and asked to receive a call. Cricket! Cricket! No one called. Unit was ‘clean’ BUT SO outdated!! Sofas sank in when you sat. Paint chipping off walls and cabinet doors. Mold or guck in both bathrooms air vents. Doors we’re old, stained and sticky. Outlets we’re missing covers and only one on each of the outlets avail throughout the unit worked. So either you unplugged the lamp to charge your electronic devices or your devices would remain without a battery charge. Bathroom & kitchen sinks old, outdated and when opened them up, the texture of their inside was worse. Kitchen full of nothing anyone could use — not at all equipped with any essentials. No extra trash bags. Cable did not work for 3 days. Wifi was off and on our entire stay. Did I mention how bare and outdated the unit is??!! Unit should be described more accurately by management company as a fishing cabin and not a condo. ONLY three things that were great! 1. Water pressure in the showers (even with old, rusted and outdated shower heads). 2. In very close proximity to a lot of great places, walking or driving 3. HVAC worked great Will not stay here again. Will not recommend this unit.

Great stay!
We had a great time in South Padre, and at Fiesta Sol condominiums. Our condo was clean & quiet and in a perfect location as we could walk to the beach, fun outdoor pubs & restaurants, the grocery store, and a small amusement park all within a block or two. The beaches had soft, clean sand and you can walk for miles down the beach. It was busy but never crowded.

Reasonable rental price and pet friendly.
Clean and close to beach access. Amenities were limited but seemed reasonable with the rental price and pet friendly. We received the door entry code but not the code to access the keys. Had to call about that. Main issue we found is that the coffee maker was not cleaned from the last use. The coffee in the filter was dry and moldy. Dishes didn't look all that clean. Washed most of them before using.

No On-site management
Property was very nice and unit was clean and stocked adequately for the four of us. The only issue we had was that our friend lost his wallet and when we tried contacting the number provided we discovered that there is no onsite property management so there is no one to help you there if needed.

Wayne, thank you for your review, we are glad the condo worked well for you. We are sorry that your friend lost his wallet. While we manage the condo, we do not manage the building and facilities. We have checked with the HOA and no wallet has been turned in. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

No power- left early no communication from Vacasa
We went on vacation and there was no power or water. We had plans to stay a week and a half but left early due to everything on the island being closed. We contacted Vacasa but have yet to receive a response at all. We arrived on Monday (no power or water) and on Wednesday we finally received water but no power. Thursday morning our power came on so we had both power and water all day Thursday. When we woke up Friday we had no water again and left the property. The property itself is a great location and very nice. The lack of communication is unacceptable!

Great location/needs upgrades
The location was great. The property itself was needing some TLC. Bathroom cabinet doors were filthy with dust, dirt and hairs. Top of refrigerator had not been cleaned in awhile. Faucet handles in both showers barely holding on. Electrical outlet behind the refrigerator needs a cover. Once we wiped everything down we were happy. Had a great time. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars and attractions. Thank you.

This place was really nice. It was nice and clean, great location-walking distance to the beach. There was no mention of stairs though and they are steep and slippery when wet. No washer/dryer. Overall it was a great stay. I would totally do it again.

Last minute trip
Tv in the front doesn’t work Door doesn’t lock on the bottom Bedroom door is beat to hell and should be replaced Wrong code to the pool Beds are old and beat up. 3 flat cheap pillows for a king size bed. A lot of the things above listed were mentioned in a recent review, and responded to saying they were taken care of, which they were not. My family enjoyed south padre, but we won’t be going here again.

Its adequate
Its fine to rest your head for a night or two. Ive stayed at much nicer places. The mattresses are low end, not fluffy or firm. The pillows are flat and not enough. Ideally 2 per person in each bed. Madter should have 4-6 not counting couch pillows used on the bed. The baseboards and trim and closet doors are dirty, splinters showing thru. The back patio furniture was so dirty and very cheap. We were unable to use the pool cause the code lock was changed out and we did not have access to get in. It took management a few hours to get that from them. We gave up and went to bed. One night we had no parking spot and had to park at the next door complex where they all had assigned parking #. Next door was not full. This place was just not for me.

Great location, clean, great price, easy check in
This property has a great location. It was a short walk to the beach. (Walk looks longer on a map.) Great location to the weekly fireworks on the bay. Walking distance to the grocery store, T-shirt shops, restaurants. Tile floor is great for pets, but bring a throw rug and slippers because there aren’t any rugs. There is no washer or dryer but the laundromat is right next door. Cable was out while we were there, but we were able to play movies on the DVD player. Some others said the condo is dated, and that is true. But, it’s still beachy and cute. And close to the beautiful clear blue-green beach.

Great place to bring in the New Year
Perfect location close to everything. The only issues was there was no stopper in the bath tub so I had to go purchase one so my wife could take a bath. And the neighbors above us were moving furniture around or something all night making a lot of noise on two different nights. Other than that very worth the price.
