Great Condo/beach front views!

My family had a great time at the condo! We decided to go last minute on a high volume weekend and this condo was still available. It says it sleeps 7 but really it fits 8. If you do have 8 people though, I would bring extra blankets. The beds are a little worn, but that spectacular beach view makes up for it! We were steps from the beach! The actual grounds of the condo has great amenities and high security! You feel very comfortable with parking. On top of that, the condo is right as you exit the bridge so there is close access to the bay restaurants,etc. The banana boats and parasailing are also right next to the condo! I was also very pleased with the communication between the renter and I. He processed our information quickly and made sure that we enjoyed our stay when we returned home. This is a great place, great, view, and perfect location!

Owner response:The twin bed mattress will be replaced.

We were very impressed with the condo overall. It had everything we needed. The towel service was a drawback. The only other thing that was not good was the smell of the couch. It smelled like sweaty men.

Owner response:Apparently the guest did not understand that linens & towels could be exchanged any day between 9 am and 4 pm at my property manager's office that is about a mile from the condo. We were obviously not aware of the sofa issue. We have had it cleaned and sanitized.

The pictures don't do it justice! Great condo

What a fantastic stay! We had a great week there. It was a clean, well kept condo. While the kitchen appliances weren't updated, everything still worked great and we didn't have any problems. The best part of the condo was the view though! The pictures on the profile don't give you a very good idea of how great the view is from the balcony. The beach is closer, the view is very open without any buildings blocking it, and you can see most of the condo's grounds as well (two swimming pools and the tennis courts). Thanks again for the great stay! -Brian and Melissa

We were there for a few days after Christmas looking for possible winter rentals for 2012. We were pleased with the condo's condition and furnishings. Everything was up to date and in good condition. This unit was much cleaner than a couple of others we looked at. Weather was good the last day and in the 80's. Had not been to S.Padre before and found it a little remote in the winter time. Good communication with the owner and quick responses to questions. Would recommend this property as a good option for the price and season. Would definitely rent this one if we decide to winter in S. Padre

We totally loved South Padre - the condo was perfect for our family - it really felt like a home away from home. The convenience offered is unbeatable - the amenities in the condo are completely adequate for a lengthy stay with small children. Who could ask for anything more? We will definitely return to South Padre Island's Saida Towers and hopefully Ron will have a condo waiting for us. For all who go, Cheers and have a great time.

We were able to get into this property at the last minute and what a fantastic place. This property is recently renovated and in great condition. Beds are comfortable, nice tile work throughout. Kitchen and bathrooms are clean and in good condition. Beautiful tile work continues out to the balcony overlooking the beach and gulf. Sunrise views are well worth getting up early; and by afternoon it is nicely shaded. Very enjoyable stay! Highly recommended!

Very relaxing stay

What a great long weekend we had in this lovely condo. The Saida complex is very impressive and well-maintained. Everything was gated, from the parking lot to the beach access and there were always plenty of chairs down by the pools and parking spaces near the building. From the balcony of this unit, we were easily able to see our family down on the beach or at 1 of the 2 pools closest to the Gulf. Here's a tip - if you're going between Memorial Day and Labor Day, there are fireworks every Friday and there is a PERFECT view of them from the balcony! The DVD player did not seem to work and the towel exchange was a little bit of a hassle, but otherwise everything was comfortable and convenient.

Owner response:The property manager has assured me that the towel exchange situation will not happen again. My guest apparently did not know how to operate the DVD player as it is operating.

We enjoyed our first visit to SPI. The condo was great - clean and roomy with a great view of the beach and pools. We highly recommend this unit to future vacationers.

What a great place to enjoy a fall vacation. We stayed in early October and the weather was still warm and tropical. The condo was spacious, clean, nicely furnished and it was a treat to have three computers surfing the net at the same time with the furnished wi-fi. We will most certainly plan our next South Padre vacation at the Saida II, #503! Judd and Donna

Ron: My daughter and I spent 8 days in your condo and had the best vacation ever. The pools were wonderful, the condo was spacious and very clean and the balcony was amazing at sunrise. I will never search for another condo on the Island as long as your's is available. Thanks! Pat and Katie

Ron, I want to thank you for such a beautiful and comfortable condo. When we walked into the condo we were very pleased. I have stayed in several different units in Saida and yours is by far the best of them all. My first impression of the unit is that the view of the beach is perfect. Your condo has been the cleanest I have ever seen. It was nice not to see mold around the showers like in some of the other units that we have stayed. Since I am a neat freak your condo was my home away from home. My children slept like babies in the beds and they raved about how comfortable they were and to please teenagers is a hard task. We did have one small issue with the unit and the management company took care of it within 2 hours. In case you are wondering what issue, the frying pan was in poor shape and I just could not cook in it without filling the condo up with smoke. My husband and I enjoyed the use of the patio furniture at night and listening to the waves. We will book with you again, and have already given your name to our friends. Thank you again for allow us to stay in your home. Sterling & Mona
