Great Location

The condo is clean and has a great location. We had a great time! The owner was great to work with! Somethings that you may want to know before you go are that the washer and dryer are in a hot room by the pool. The tempeture in the condo was ok for me. I had two men who like it cooler and they were a little warm. If you sleep with the door open we found it to be cooler in the bedrooms. I would recomend this condo to someone who doesnt run on the hot side. I enjoyed my time. Be sure to look out the balcony you can see the fish swimming in the water! Bring your fishing pole! Place to fish right off the back of the condo!

Owner response:No doubt about it, this August was as hot as it's ever been in south Texas. The HVAC is brand spanking new and working at peak performance, but the condo was built in 1974. Normally it's cool enough.

The size of the condo was perfect...big enough for 2 couples and 4 kids. The view from the deck was awesome (both morning and sunset) and It is in a great location to everything....i would highly recommend staying here. Louis and his wife were very nice and helpful and seem to be very honest in their description of this rental.

Owner response:Thanks for the nice review Christine!

We stayed at this condo from 6/8/11-6/12/11 for our annual fishing trip. It was absolutely perfect. The kitchen is well equipped for those that enjoy cooking and the deck overlooking the bay was very nice. It was very convenient being able to dock our boat right outside the room at the pier. Thanks for a great place. Lorrie - Taylor, TX

Owner response:Thank you for the kind response Lorrie. We're always happy when guests have a goodtime at the condo. I hope you have an opportunity to come back soon!

Great Stay Even in the Heat

My family's stay at the condo couldn't have gone better. The condo is exactly like you describe it. The sunsets alone are worth it. The condo is within 5 minutes of just about any amenity you would want while staying near the ocean. The rooms were comfortable, the view is wonderful, and even the fishing was good just off the docks behind the condo. My family couldn't have been happier during our vacation.

Very Comfortable Condo! Great Location!

Mr. Rogers, thanks so much for letting us use your condo. Everything we needed was there, including trash bags, toilet paper, hand and dish soap, etc. (unlike other places we have stayed!). It was very comfortable--felt like home--and in a terrific location. I also liked the second bedroom's accommodations. It was easy to get my two young children to sleep. We look forward to contacting you again next summer!

Perfect for fishermen

Date of Stay: 06/15/10 Review Submitted: 08/04/10

If you have 3-6 fishermen and want to leave your boat on the water on the ULM, I can't imagine a better set-up. We fished early morning and late afternoon and didn't have to mess with trailering the boat. Dock and cleaning table right out back. Ample parking. Boat ride to eat under the JFK bridge. Awesome sunsets. Well-stocked kitchen. Follow directions for AC unit and everything works great. Owner very friendly and accomodating. Will be a frequent user.

Hey Louis, Condo was great. Perfect actually. Thanks for asking. I left AC on 78 and it was great! turned it up to 80 when we left. I used the DVR, that worked out nicely.

Mr. Rogers, Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your property this past weekend. We greatly enjoyed the comfort and location of the condo. We had a great time at our wedding, and had a perfect place to come home to. I hope we didn't leave too much of a mess for you there. Once again, I appreciate all the last minute trouble to accomodate us.

I wanted to follow-up and thank you for a great stay. My parents, husband and myself had a great time. The condo is in a great location and quaint. We could not ask for a better view of the sunset. We look forward to booking this place in the future.

I just wanted to shoot you an email saying thanks for the stay are your Condo. We may be booking this again toward the end of the year.

Owner response:Dates are the same because these are actual unsolicited emails that were sent to me, and after I received them I asked responders if they could be posted. I posted them all on the same date.

Beach Vacation

Guest: SDB (Fort Worth, Texas )
Date of Stay: 08/12/09 Review Submitted: 08/04/10

My family and I had a great get-away. The accomadations were very clean and comfortable. We loved the balcony that looks out to Laguna Madre. The only thing we found a bit uncomfortable was that it was a bit hot in the condo in the evening and at night.

Owner response:We replaced the old unit outside this month (June 2011). It's still an older building, so it won't ever be ice cold with exterior doors opening and the sun setting in the west....but its comfortable. I still think it best to keep the thermostat on the AC above 78 degrees during the afternoon hours of July and August...but you can lower the temp to 70 during the evening and morning for better sleeping comfort (we also have ceiling fans in all rooms including the kitchen, dining, living, and bedrooms). High traffic in and out (like kids will do) can compound the issue. These buildings were built in the 1970's so they just aren't efficient. We do have solar screens on the windows plus indoor wood shutters facing the sunset to relieve some of the dead-on heat factor. It is just hot in south Texas during these months. Spring and fall are recommended for milder temps and breezy evenings with the windows open.

Very close to everything! Perfect size for four people. Would have been great to have a boat and just motor in... The lagoon is alive with birds and fish to watch.
