  Our family just returned from a great family vacation in S Padre at Saida. We enjoyed the location, the condo, the beach and all the condos had to offer including tennis and the pool/hot tub. We stayed 6 days. We took two dogs, who truly enjoyed all the attention they received from everyone at the complex. This place is incredibly pet friendly. Plenty of grassy areas, that are kept extremely clean and manicured. There are doggy "doo" stations at three separate areas, making it easy to walk them. We loved the condo! Decorations (right down to the sea shell dishes) are all reminders that you are at the beach! The condo was very clean, beds extremely comfortable and the patio furniture was great for morning and evening relaxation. The only negative that we could even mention was the fridge and Island Services. The fridge was overwhelmed by all our drinks and food, we had two coolers that we kept drinks and ice in. It just allowed the fridge the opportunity to only keep food/meats cool. There is no ice on property, but a convenience store is in walking distance, so no biggie. Island Services is the property management company. It is NOT within walking distance. You pick up your keys and exchange laundry/towels there. It was just easier to wash them ourselves downstairs. When we called to question the fridge working They hung up on us twice, but the owner was contacted and the matter resolved literally within minutes. Great owner - easy to work with. Avoid Island Services at all costs, really rude. Everything you need, restaurants, convenience stores, souvenirs all within walking distance. Everyone in the condo complex was extremely friendly. We never heard any of our neighbors. The view cannot be beat. Weather was great, only rained for a few hours one day. We took our 14 yr old and 17 yr old. We felt very safe allowing them to walk around. There is a security guard 24 hrs at the gate. You must have a code to get in from the beach and the street. The kids made lots of friends - great family place. I just want to note one more time how great the condo owner was. From making our reservation, to answering our emails before, during and after to our leave.. Made us feel like their place was our place. We will definitely return - hopefully many times.

  Owner response: We are pleased they enjoyed there stay and will probably replace the refrigerator.

  One of the best places to stay if you want an awesome view of the ocean and easy access to the beach and amenities. The place was big and spacious and the beds were indeed comfy except for the pull out couch which we did not really need. Complaints (though) we would most likely put up with it because of the above positives are shower pressure was nil and in the master it was hard to get the shower to work at all plus we did run out of toilet paper. The refrigerator does not close properly even after you think you have closed it so are drinks did not get cold. The serving utensils are very old and have burned a bit and have turned into lumps of spoons. we did not know that there would not be paper towels or dish soap (another trip to the store) and the water (which is that way everywhere you go) smells and does not taste good (another trip to the store for bottled water). Also there were no directions on how to use the tv and controls and the dvd player in the living room and no info about the island and things to do or places to eat. All of these complaints could easily be fixed but they really did not effect our trip and our main focus which was enjoying the beach and the pools which we did!

  Owner response: We were very sorry to hear about all the concerns they pointed out even thought they enjoyed the over stay. Many of these issues could have been easily resolved it they had called me or my property manager. I have a property manager that that reason. Let me address there concerns. I would have to agree that the water pressure in the building is not real high. I had it tested to make sure that it had not worsten and it was in the normal range. This has been our first mention of water pressure. The water is the same water that is supplied to the entire valley and I do not know what to respond about the smell. The toilet paper & dish soap is supplied by my property manager and is available at there facility daily if needed. The utilitils were all purches new last year. I will have to see what happened and if necessary replace them. The instructions for the TV and DVD are in the dest a few feet away. It is disapponting to us that these were issues that concerned them.

  For the past 7 or so years my sister, a friend or two and I have met at South Padre Island for a relaxing getaway. We come from all over, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin so we kind of expect a lot for a short vacation. We usually stay at the Radisson or the Peal, but this year we wanted to try a condo. This place was fantastic!!! The price difference was about $75 – 100 more to stay here for 3 nights and totally worth it!!! We had a great time and so much room!!! The king size beds were very comfy, we had tons of pillows which is a must and two bathrooms. To top it off we couldn’t have asked for a better view! We started and ended our days on the balcony. So nice to sit outside and relax listening to the waves. We usually got out to eat but this year my sister picked up some food and on the spur of the moment she would whip up gourmet food. She likes to cook so have at it, nice to have a full kitchen! The location of the unit was ideal. We liked the second floor, high enough off the ground to feel save and yet easy access to the beach and pools, great location. Just can’t say enough good things about the place!! Loved it!! The grounds of the Saida were well kept, clean and whenever we saw staff members they were very friendly and respectful. We also felt very safe here. The owner was very responsive and helpful when making the reservations, couldn’t have been easier. Thank you and I do appreciate that! We only received 1 parking pass when we checked in (after hours), I had asked for 2. The security guard at the gate was very pleasant and helpful and gave us another pass. The only complaint I have is that there was not enough toilet paper, we only had one dish towel, no sponge or dish rag, no paper towels or dish soap. I’m sure if I would have called and inquired they would have delivered the items needed. I had to run to the store, which is close, to pick up a few things and just got these as well, not a big deal. I was so pleased with the condo and relaxed that it didn’t bother me, no inconvenience. We will definitely be back! Loved the place!!! Might even bring the kids one of these times, I know they would love it too. I would just have to be ready to give up my girls getaway. Hmmm… we will see… Thanks for letting us rent your wonderful condo!! We will be back!

  My family and I had a great week in Room 205. The view of the gulf from the balcony just can't be beat. It is a 5 minute walk from the room to the beach. The condo was very comfortable and had everything you would need to feel like it's your, "Home away from home". I have been going to SPI since I was a child, and have stayed at a few different places on the island. Now that we have stayed in this condo, we would rather not stay anywhere else.

  It was the 1st time we were renting a condo for a vacation and it could not be easier, the owner contacted me right away, explained me the deatails and in a few minutes the rental was approved. Perfect location, near the beach exit, near the pools and on the 2nd floor (easy to access via stairs and elevator). The balcony view is superb. The condo is really spacious and has everything you need even wireless internet and an adorable décor, very well maintained. The security at all Saida is very good I was concerned about a review a read that said tourist without a car but we actually had to travel with 2 cars and the owner requested for us a 2nd parking permit and we did not have an issue, we parked in front the building. Saida Towers are very near (walking distance) Yummies (where we took breakfast every time we stay at SPI) and Gabriella's (Dinner evry time we stay at SPI but is closed on Sundays) ..... a friend recommended a restaurant for dinner Cafe Kretzel (or something like this not wlaking distance from Saida) we went on Sunday night and it was beyond and above aour expectations, the place has this concept of slow cook everything prepared at the time and the wait was worth. We all had a great and unforgettable time. Looking forward to stay again at this property.

  We loved the location & had such a beautiful view. The pools & tennis courts were great. The beach was beautiful. We were there with our 4 children & it was perfect for all of us. Unfortunately it was the Nationals spring break & the place was crazy with teenagers & 20's drinking & making noise. Not the stuff we wanted our kids to see. Stay here any other time than spring break, unless you like the party scene & noise. I would also recommend replacing carpet & have someone do a dusting of the woodwork & furniture. I will say that we called about a couple of things broken & they were immediately fixed. We had a great time & would return at a different time of year!

  The view from this condominium is excellent. It is nice to have a completely natural view of the Gulf. Other buildings in this complex don't have the nice view this one does as they are further from the Gulf although still beachfront and easily accessible. Two of the buildings provide a side view of the Gulf. We loved listening to the ocean even while indoors (remember to be green and save our resources by turning off the heat/ac!) One of the 3 pools is heated and is quite comfortable even when outside temperatures are in the 60's. There are some minor maintenance issues (missing towel bar, frayed carpet, missing wands to operate blinds) but overall for a rental condo unit this one is a definite WIN! If you plan to cook much, be sure to take pot holders as they are not provided. Other than that, I found just about everything I needed in the kitchen. Sofa and loveseat are very comfortable which was a surprise as they are rattan but of very good quality. I was disappointed that the condo had not been cleaned when we arrived at 4:30 or so but a quick call to the property manager brought a cleaning crew out in less than 40 minutes.

  Owner response: As they mention, texas spring break is not a great time for families to be in South Paqdre.
