  My wife and I and our 3 year old daughter stayed here for a week. It was great for us. We especially appreciated the tub in the shower as our daughter is not quite ready for a shower yet. It is simple but clean and functional. The local management was great too and very responsive. The beach toys were also a nice touch as we did not have to buy any.

  Stayed at this condo for the first time for over a month. It was decorated just beautiful. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The owner provides quality sheets and large bath towels....like the ones the luxury hotels used to. The kitchen has everything you need to cook great meals. Really appreciated the dishwasher and washer and dryer in the unit....a must for long term stays or those with children. Owner adds special touches like beach chairs and cooler to use at the beach. Nice patio outside with table and Weber barbecue. Parking was right out front. The location was central to everything and the movies are just at the end of the street. BEST of all the beach was so close with easy access. You won't find many condos this nice and well cared for. Thank you and we will come back soon!

  We booked for Jan/Feb 2012. I began experiencing breathing problems, headaches, etc. Then we saw mold on walls and found extreme dampness under counters. Some particle board bowed to floor. Manager and mold person came. I spoke with owner via phone and she said, "I don't know what to do other than to rent you a motel room or refund your money". We moved out that day and owner paid for one night motel stay. We found another space. Dr. treated me for ear infections and breathing issues. Owner has NEVER (as of today, March 30) returned the money. She assured me, via email, she would do so. Stopped by exterior of unit late Feb. Saw mold on window sides of the wooden blinds, as viewed from outside. I'd advise you make certain the unit has been cleared by county health department inspection....not just evidence of visit by some mold treatment business.

  Owner response: Unfortunately, we discovered a major leak from the hot water heater the day before our guests were to arrive. A new hot water heater was installed as soon as possible and the kitcken cabinet it is located in was torn out and repaired and wood was replaced. The moisture did cause some mold to develop on some walls due to the high humidity beach weather. Upon notification, we had the guests relocated within a few hours at our expense and had the entire interior treated including walls, tile floors bedding, etc. It required 3 days to properly address the issue and dehumidify the unit. I'm sorry our guests decided not to wait as the condo is very lovely. We have had no further complaints from guests and are just finishing up a 3 week stay at our condo and have seen no evidence of mold inside our condo.

  We chose to stay at the Calm Seas Condo during the first week of October which was a great time if you prefer less tourists. The condo was cozy and clean. We loved the beach decor that added to the SPI theme. The beach was less than a five minute walk and well maintained. A cooler, beach chairs and children's toys were available for the beach if needed . The use of the washer and dryer was a real time saver. We can't think of anything that you would need to bring that hadn't been provided. We flew and chose not to rent a car. The free shuttle on the island, "The Wave" was always available and taxi service for early morning fishing trips was never a problem. There are many great Seafood and Mexican restaurants within walking distance. Be sure to take your catch of the day to Daddy's to be prepared for a small fee, we went several times. There are many nearby places to rent bikes to ride on the beach for a very small fee. Shelby, the owner, made scheduling our trip to her condo easy. We would return to Calm Seas our next trip to SPI. This was our first time using VRBO and we were very pleased as to how easy it was.

  This condo was very clean and comforable. Great kitchen, nice furnishings, and very spacious for a one bedroom. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the gulf and close to everything really. The beach access at the end of the street (just 4 houses down) opens onto a very nice section of beach. There was great swimming and it was never too crowded while we were there (at the height of the busy season.) The owner was a pleasure to deal with, the manager was friendly an helpful, and overall I would not have any hesitation in recommending this property. Hope we can stay there again on our next trip to South Padre!

  Stayed here in July and everything was great. The proximity to the beach (5 minute walk) was outstanding and the accommodations were awesome. The owners have taken great care in preparing a tastefully decorated place. We really felt like we were home. This was our first vacation rental experience and we can only hope they will all be like this.

  We are a family of 5 that stayed at Calm Seas in August 2010. This condo is very close the beach <about a 2 minute walk>, and is has very nice decor. Even the sleeper sofa provided a decent night's sleep! Property manager very accessible and helpful. Owner was immediately available by phone to help me through one issue with the internet access which was quickly resolved. Our favorites on the island ~ National Seashore <lots of shells here!>, Schlitterbahn <get there 15 minutes before opening on weekdays for short lines in the a.m.>, Amberjacks Restaurant. Thanks Shelby ~ we'll be back!

  My husband, myself and our two daughters spent 4 nights @ the Calm Seas condo and we loved it. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean and very cute! My daughters who are 2 and 3 LOVED the bunk beds! The beach is literally a 2 minute walk from the door of the condo and is very nice! We had a great time Shelby and plan on coming back again soon! It was so comfortable and homey we didn't want to leave! Thanks for letting us use your condo!

  We just came back from a wonderful trip at your awesome condo! the kids and hubby were very pleased with your place and we all slept and relaxed so well. You had everything we needed and it was truly a home away from home. We actually spent more time inside than on the beach lol! Well thanks again and we look forward to making the trip out next year!!!
