My family and I stayed here last Summer. It was a perfect vacation and lived up to every description and picture! There were 5 adults and 4 children and we were all very comfortable and had lots of room to enjoy. The kitchen was well equipped, and the large dining table made meal time very nice. The private pool was just perfect. And the immediate access to the beach was very convenient. We hope to stay here many more times and appreciate the owners hospitality. I would highly recommend this home. You will not be sorry!

My family stayed at Casa Vecina this May and had a wonderful time. The home was perfectly appointed and we managed to fit our mish-mash of extended families all into this one townhouse without bumping elbows. It's very spacious with plenty of places to get some privacy or hang out together. Also, it was very, very clean and had everything we didn’t have room to pack. The pool isn't huge, but it's the perfect size if you have young children; not so small you can't swim around, not so big you have to worry all the time. The best part has to be the beachfront access! Waking up every morning to the sun coming up over the water just outside your vacation rental has to be the best part of any trip to South Padre! The section of the beach where this rental is located is also rather quiet. My family usually can’t agree on anything, but we all agree that we’re going back to Casa Vecina.

Wonderful Home on the Beach

This house is truly one of the nicest vacation homes I have ever rented. It was everything it was advertised as being. Access to the beach was just a few steps away and if you don't feel like walking a few steps, there is the nice pool to sit by. The furnishings were nice and very comfortable. Trish was more than responsive to all of my emails and questions. My advice - if you want to spend a few days or a week or two this is the place to do it!

My fiance and I felt that this home is an absolute must if you intend on fully enjoying your stay in SPI! The beauty of the home itself was amazing and the view was breath-taking in regard to both sunrise and sunset on the water. This property is also located fairly close to many excellent restaurants and activities, however, a vehicle would be a good idea being that most of the dining is on the other side of the island. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay and I fully intend on making a return trip in the future.

Hello Trish, We wanted to let you know we had a wonderful family vacation in your beach house on South Padre Island. It was everything we expected and more. We met Kathie, she was very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed visiting with her. You have a very nice place and if we ever get the opportunity to return we will be sure to contact you to see if this place is available. Thanks for everything. Mike and Teresa

BEAUTIFUL RELAXING WEEKEND

The house was found as described on the site. South Padre Island and the beaches were super clean. The neighborhood itself was very clean and well maintained. The sunrises and sunsets every day were just beautiful--and were viewed directly from the patios! The house is perfect for large groups---some were upstairs in the game room, a couple downstairs watching football and another in the bedroom wrtting a novel. The manager Kathie, was easy to reach and called once just to see how things were going and offer her services if we needed them. The owner, Patricia was very nice and dependable in responding to e-mails...etc...If you want the WONDERFUL experience of STAYING ON THE BEACH in a beautiful beach home this is the house for you...you won' tbe dissapointed...We definitely plan to return---for a longer stay!

My family and I stayed at this beautiful beach house in May. We had a wonderful time! Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us, but this spacious home allowed us to gather inside and enjoy ourselves just as much! The bedrooms are all exactly as pictured. Each room is unique and oh soooo comfortable! The beds are excellent. The living room and kitchen area is very spacious so it's great for large families. The pool is so cute and looks amazing at night with the color-changing effects. The owners are very nice wonderful people. We will definately be back in the future!!!

This is one of the nicest vacation home in which we've stayed.We rented directly from the owners; who are very nice people. The home was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. It is situated directly on the best part of South Padre Island Beach away from the big hotels; yet conveniently located 5 minutes from everyting. This place lacks nothing. We will definitely try to return.

We stayed at this house a few years ago. We absolutly loved it. Game room was great for gathering. The best part was you could step off of the brick on the patio into the sand.

Patricia, My wife and I would like to tell you what a wonderful time we had at your beautiful house on South Padre. The only way to be closer to the surf would have been for the house to be built in the water! Very private and secure. We loved it and will be coming back. Thanks! Jack and Helen McMahon
