We were interested in staying another day but the host never got back to us. Tried to call the host number and never answered. The office always answered so just do that vs going through the host.The place is fantastic! Easy in and out. Place is fun. Elevator smelt like piss unfortunately.The oven was taped with the front of it trying to keep it on. Needs to be fixed. The right side of the oven top didn’t work. The rooms spacious and great! Beach is fantastic! Love that it’s right on the water! Sun sets in the front of the building so enjoy the pool early if you want to have sun on it.
All was great!! Only complaint was parking… not enough. This would not be a problem of the property owner though. Island was just crowded being summer vacation. We loved it!

not what expected
not a private pool, four condos share same pool and lower condos always take it uponline description was not what we found
On the beach, literally. Quiet, clean, spacious, great for a family!
This was our first time to South padre and we were looking for a place with 5 rooms that was close to the beach.
First, the island is so narrow, you can walk from anywhere to the beach, good learning for everyone reading.
This spot is ON The beach. You walk out the back, you walk out hte path and it's white sand and beach.
And the beach spot is super quiet - it was never "too busy," even on a weekend.
The house was clean. Modern, some of the furniture has seen better days, but it's got all the bells and whistles, AC blows great, a humidifier that's much needed and an elevator for the 4th floor.
The views are fantastic, the noise is minimal, mostly the ocean noises, and there was everything you needed to cook and live like your own private home.
Highly recommended, great place.
The only neg: Check in process was confusing. You have to go 2.6m to the actual hotel to check in to get your keys. The keys also deactivated twice on us during the stay, however within 15-20 mins they drove down keys to give to us, so it wasn't terrible to hang out a the beach!
