  My wife and I rented this condo for our honeymoon and it was great! South Padre is amazing, the condo was beautiful, and Saida was awesome. The ONLY major problem we had that could've been disastrous was that the condo info we had been sent was wrong and we couldn't get a hold of the property manager. Apparently the condo had changed owners 2 weeks before our stay and also changed property managers. We had no idea that this had occurred so when we were about an hour away from South Padre we called the property manager to get the message "I'm sorry, but I don't manage that property any more." Of course panic ensued, but after pulling over at Home Depot to borrow their wi-fi and rifle through old emails with the owner, we came back to the VRBO website which thankfully had the correct property manager's number. After speaking with Carla everything was fine. She was super nice and helpful and she was able to give us all the correct condo information. So for you future vacationers Jackie is out! Carla is in! Call the number on the VRBO website :)

  We just returned from a week long vacation in South Padre Island. We have been coming to SPI for the past 5 years. This is the first time we have stayed in this Condo/Property. Also, this is the first time we used VRBO. It was an incredible experience. The communication between owner is fast and easy. The on site manager, Jackie, is very helpful. The condo itself is perfect for our family. The view from the balcony is amazing. You have a perfect view of the ocean as well as the entire property. Having a second bath is a big plus with this one bedroom condo. The property has so much to offer with 3 pools, 4 tennis courts, a snack bar, a boarwalk leading you to the beach, etc. Also, this is a gated community with 24 hr security. Every vehicle that enters and exit must pass a security guard. I have already recommended this condo to other friends who are planing a trip to SPI. We will defintley be back!

  We spent 4 nights for our anniversay and it is awesome especially being our first visit to South Padre. The Owner Nancy is great and also the Property Manager Jackie is sweet and very helpful. Being in SAIDA Tower3 and on 8th floor, perfect to enjoy your stay. If you like to watch the Sunrise, you are beeter of take a walk to the beach and you will really love it. Cool thing is that they have beach towels, beach stuff, boogie board, ice chest is all very handu and if you plan to cook, you do not need to bring any thing since they have it all. Just bring groceries (theyre is IGA store in South Padre or cross the bridge, you have HEB and Walmart to get all groceries). One thing that we missed there was Hair Dryer and we went and bought one for our selves at walmart. Our kids really enjoyed the Condo and the whole bit there. We are definitely coming back. Thanks Nancy and Jackie!

  My friends and I stayed here over spring break and we were amazed when we walked in! It was very well kept and everything was very nIce. There was a great view and we were in the heart of everything which is exactly what we wanted. We had some difficulties getting to the condo from the airport but Jackie took time out of her life to come pick us up! She was so helpful. And we were Very grateful for all the hospitality. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in a nice, clean, and feel cared for.

  We had a wonderful time at S. Padre and the condo was very comfortable. We had everything we needed plus some! The view of the beach and pools was a plus. Jackie was just wonderful. If you did need anything she would be on it immediately. Having the 2nd bathroom was a plus being that most l bedroom condos do not have this luxury.....I will be staying in this condo again!

  This condo was perfect for your family! We have two little ones, ages 5 and 1 1/2, the condo was perfect. We were able to keep our routine with meals and sleeping but still enjoy vacation time. The beach was so close that we could run back to the room easily if needed. And our 5 yr old was amazed that we had 3 pools! The condo was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all the necessities! Jackie was such a sweetheart. She took great care of us! We enjoyed our entire stay on the Island. I love mexican food, so for my birthday the family took me to The Big Donkey, it was wonderful!! Best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Our girls enjoyed the Sea Turtle Rescue, we adopted a hatchling while there. They also loved fishing at the pier at Pirates Landing and watching the dolphins. It was a very memorable family vacation! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

  I just wanted to Thank you for sharing your condo with us. I stayed here with a few friends and had a GREAT vacation! The condo is clean and has been updated. I wasn't sure what the last review was referring to....I thought the bed was VERY comfortable....so comfortable, that the only thing getting me out of bed was knowing the ocean was right out the window. The view is spectacular! We enjoyed nights on the balcony for a beautiful ocean view, and watching the fireworks out the front door, looking over the Bay side! The complex was great! We enjoyed a delicious burger at the Tiki Hut down by the pool, as well as a drink at the bar. Great pools and hot tubs! The condo has GREAT location! It's right by the bridge, so its a quick drive to Port Isabel! It is also walking distance to some great spots. We enjoyed Captain Roy's Restaurant for dinner and Yummie's for breakfast. Both within walking distance! I would recommend to anyone going to South Padre, to stay here. In fact, we've already talked our friends into vacationing here and staying at this same condo! We are planning to return this fall!

  We stayed here June 4-8. Overall, the complex is very nice; well maintained grounds, clean pools, and the beach is great. However, I was not as impressed with the actual condo. The condo is pretty well-stocked and has been updated at first glance, but then you begin to notice what has NOT been updated and they stand out: kitchen appliances are original (but work), bathrooms have not been updated, doorknobs are old, sticky and rusty, deadbolts don’t lock. The condo is clean but really needs a DEEP clean: baseboards, air vents, ceiling fans, lamps shades were all covered in dust. All of this we could maybe overlook but our MAIN complaint was the mattress. It must be at least 15 years old. Hard, lumpy, squeaky, springs poking us in the back; we did not sleep well at all. (I was surprised this was not mentioned at all in other reviews, which makes we wonder who wrote them….friends, maybe?) Setting up the reservations and getting the keys from the manager Jackie was great. She was very friendly and helpful. And to her credit, when we checked out, she asked point blank for feedback about the condo. We told her about the mattress (this was the only thing we told her, since it’s the reason we would not return to this unit) and she said she would pass that info on to the owner. I appreciated that. In summary, I would stay at Saida but look for another unit next time, until some more updates are made to this one.

  Owner response: This is a beach condo. For the price it is fine. If you want the plush mattress go to the finest hotels. We strive for family atmosphere and peaceful fun.

  I went on vacation to South Padre last week....and it was amazing. A group of my friends went down and stayed at this condo, it was great. We arrived on Saturday afternoon and had no problems getting from the airport to the condo and right to the beach! The place was excellent. Very close to lots of action. There was a CVS very close by. Lots of good breakfast joints (Bada Bing was my favorite!). Tequilla Sunset and Loiues were some fun bars we checked out, and you must go to Captain Roy's for dinner!!! So yummy! All in all we had an excellent time. The condo was great, very spacious and clean. It was a quite area which was nice for a relaxing vacation! Thanks!

  Just returned from a week at Saida with a group of friends over Memorial Day. The condo was incredible! It includes just about everything you can think of (towels and a cooler for beach, just to name a few). The beach and pools were great! A nice bar and snack shack nect to the main pool. However, the best part was the view! The sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico and the Sunset over the bay can't be beat! We spent hours every night sitting on the balcony enjoying the wonderful weather and great view. The location is great, as it is close to shops, restaurants/bars, and the South Padre Island Shuttle. Had an amazing time, Can't wait to return!
