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.

Close to the beach & great ocean view

Everything went well. No problems at all. There were plenty of towels, cooking supplies, etc. And most importantly for us, the condo was really close to the beach and the view was excellent from the balcony as well as the master bedroom and the living room, and was just as depicted in the pictures and advertisements. The weather was great, low 90's, and the water was very pleasant.

Owner response:We strive for this type response.

My family and I had such a wonderful time in South Padre. The view of and access to the beach from your condo is awesome! The location is convenient to everything on the island. Parking was a breeze. Having the security gate and guard on duty at all hours gave us that extra sense of security that made us so much more relaxed. The condo itself was so comfy and spacious. It's well-maintained and nicely decorated. We also enjoyed having access to the pools. We definitely will keep this condo in mind when planning our next trip to SPI.

Owner response:This is what we want all of our guest to experience.

Great unit right on the best part of the beach on South Padre Fantastic view and just a few steps to the beach. Comfortably furnished with everything you need and plenty of room to spread out. We've beennto this property several times and this unit ranks among our favorites. Mm

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 best Condo I ever stayed in

I am so glad we stayed at this Saida condo. I loved the balcony views, especially in the mornings. My friends and I spent a weekend in April enjoying the sun and the sea breeze. This condo was our base of operations for us and helped me explore SPI. The interior of the condo was great! Clean, stylish, it seems like it has a brand-new design. My friends and I loved the dining room and little things like the palm tree legs. The condo was more spacious than our four guests would have needed. The kitchen was nice and we used it for a couple of meals, mostly breakfast. The free high-speed internet worked great. As much as I loved the inside of the condo, I will say my favorite part was the view. I mean WOW!! I've stayed at 3 Saida towers before I made this trip but this unit was the very BEST! The view of the Gulf, over the sand dunes, with nothing the balcony and beach, it something worth traveling for. It's awesome to see the natural beauty of the beach. The condo complex shares 3 pools - each have a hot tub. I'm a big fan of hot tubs so I loved having 3 ones within a 2 minute walk. I left my shoes at the condo and let my feet enjoy all the sand. There are a couple souvenir shops located right next to the condo complex. I walked to McDonald's once. The parking was convenient and free. I always had a spot available for my car right in front of the unit. I drove to the beach and had an easy time finding the condo. I recommend checking the multi-story go kart track out that's open at night! My group of adults of loved it! This was the single best experience I've had staying at a condo. I speak from about 20 stays in condos. I recommend this place!
