Short February stay
The weather started cold, wet and windy, such that we never used the a.c. But instead the heating worked well. The humidity and the heating tended to make the floor tiling near the window slick with moisture. Possibly this was because the garage underneath offered no insulation from the cold. However the sun came out, the rain stopped and the wind abated making the last day or so very nice. The kingsized bed was “aged”! The bedside light USB charger sockets were a nice feature. Kitchen was well supplied. TV worked well. We were lucky enough to always find a parking place undercover. Much appreciated when it was raining. The view was accurate. It was nice to admire the waves irrespective of the weather.

Clueless owner
The evening we arrived we called the owner. The instructions and picture of the TV remote in the living room did not correspond with the remotes. She responded with confusion and helpless instructions. We told her there was no remote for the TV in the bedroom. She was unaware there was not a remote. The king size bed mattress was very soft and sway back in the middle. We each kept sliding into the middle of the bed. A chair in the living room that should have reclined had a metal rod poking through the back area, and the foot rest did not work properly. Cheap, cheap, cluless owner. She gets 2 stars because at least there weren't bugs.

Enjoyed the quick access to the beach
Great spot, a minute walk to the beach. Elevator was nice to have for carrying in and out from second floor. Nice space, good AC and comfortable bed. The cookware is pretty old and could use a replacement, handles loose on the pots and pans etc. Cramped kitchen area but not bad for one person at a time. I think my checkin email got caught by spam as it is not clear who it is coming from, so i had to reach out at check-in for the code. Comms were unanswered in the app so i needed to call last minute but the call was answered first time. Overall for the value at beachfront would stay again.

Good beach-side location
The property was as described in the listing.Our only issue was communication during the stay. For example, when construction on the appartment above us created a water leak in our bathroom, I contacted the owners. I heard nothing back and went to talk with the workers my self and got the problem resolved. Then when I thought there was a problem with a door lock, I reported it. Apparently they contacted building maintenance, but I was never told maintenance was contacted or when they would come. We would have appreciated more feedback.

Amazing condo right on the beach
I took my mother to South Padre Island for her 83rd birthday, along with our two English cream golden retrievers. This dog-friendly condo was absolutely perfect for us with a nightly price that you cannot beat. Not only did we enjoy beautiful sunrises with a balcony overlooking the ocean, but the access to the beach was short and incredibly easy. The best thing about this condo is that there’s an elevator for my mother who was able to go down to the beach each day and enjoy watching our dogs play in the ocean. Rinsing our dogs off was super easy as there were three stations right at the gate and we enjoyed the hot tub after a long day at the beach. We had all the comforts of home including Internet and Wi-Fi and we would definitely book this condo again.

The Only Good thing was its location
I was expecting a well kept, modern up to date condo unit. The best part of this whole experience was the location which was right on the beach. Having said that I contacted the manager/owner to let them know that the shade in the bedroom was damaged, there was an large open chest with doors and inside the door were mirrors, one of which was craked through the middle of it. There were cracks on the floor in the bedroom and kitchen. One of the cabinets was missing a knob. The molding on the bathroom and bedroom had cracks. No door on the bedroom and had to unplug existing lights on dresser to be able to use my chargers. The end lights were not similar. The patio door on the outside very stained and chairs were dirty. When I made the owner/manager aware of this she got very angry with me. If you want a nice modern unit don't stay here. Even the elevator is cracked inside with some holes. Oh there was also a hole in the kitchen tile. i gave it one star because of the location and the supplies that were provided. Never Stay There Again. I have plenty of pictures to prove what i said.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2023
Unfortunately Dawn was very unhappy. Immediately after booking she accused me of sending her real estate marketing emails. I’m not in real estate so I had no clue what that was about. As soon as she checked in she sent me a text stating that she wanted to let me know before she ‘posted pictures’ that she was unhappy with the condo. She called and sent texts multiple times. She sent me at least 14 emails over a 2 day period. The photos were very minor things that would not affect her stay. She told me the condo should never even be rented like that and more. I offered to refund her the remainder of her stay so she could find a place more suitable to her liking. She asked how she would go about doing that. I suggested a hotel. She declined. I was never angry. The bedroom has a pocket door! I’ve never had this type of experience with a guest in all the years of hosting.

We stayed four nights at the Florence in late August. The space was perfect for my husband and I. It was very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable and lots of extra space to store our bags, toiletries, clothes. Very quiet. all the people were welcoming and pet friendly.

Beautiful beach view
This location is right on the beach and you overlook the pool! The condo is cozy and fit the 4 of us just right. I will definitely stay here again because it was a easy access to the beach and pool. The building is older but very solid. You never hear your neighbors. The bed is comfortable too. One thing I would warn you about...don't set up a tent on the beach any earlier than 9am because they will give out tickets. Thank you Condo Ladies for the stay!

Nice place for the two of use and our dog.
Right on the beach for an easy walk in the morning and great view form the balcony for evening cocktails. Internet was sketchy causing me to cancel some minor work details I had planned to attend to during my stay. Floor was not very clean upon arrival as my bare feet bottoms were black within minutes of walking around the place.

The condo was very clean and felt like home as soon as we entered. Starting our day with coffee and the sounds of the gulf was peaceful. There are great places to eat up and down the island. Each day ended back on the balcony, with a beverage, listening to the melodic sounds of the water. Looking forward to returning!! Thanks Laura!

very nice property
Very very comfortable bed. we enjoyed our week very much. liked that we only had to go down one flight of stairs to be on the water.. Had to do abit more walking than expected. Not within walking distance to grocery or most restaurants. if you go invest in renting golf cart. I would stay there again. maybe go in November next .

We’ve stayed at other properties owned by Laura and this one didn’t disappoint! Great location - easy and short access to the beach. Very close to great restaurants. The condo was just as described, very clean and lots of linens and even beach towels! It was quite windy during our stay so we really enjoyed sitting and observing the surf from the balcony. We will definitely stay again and would recommend to others!

Just as advertised! You can't get any closer to the beach plus it was easy to access the beach.. The view from the balcony/patio was spectacular! Very comfortable bed. This seems to be a quieter part of the beach. Mostly mature couples and families were staying in the building. Our host Laura was great! Thank you so much. We will be back!

Beautiful and Relaxing
We had such a nice stay at Laura and Judy’s place. So grateful to get away and relax. Waking up to the view, while having coffee on the porch was our favorite. We were looking so forward to the hot tub. The only downside was the hot tub was WAY too hot. We, along with another couple and a woman, all provided the building’s property manager with feedback that the temperature was almost unbearable, but he refused to adjust the temperature. We just ended up dipping in and out of the water, while all commiserating about the temperature. Check was easy and Judy was so kind about a late phone call when I missed calling earlier for the door code. Would definitely visit again.
