Ideal location on the edge of Port Isabel

The property was exactly what we needed it to be - the pictures were accurate - everything worked - My family of 5 enjoyed the pool 1 house away - I enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was overall. It is a quiet place with a great view of the bay. My only issue was every time I received a pdf file from the host I needed to use my laptop to open it because my android phone could not open the file. No other issues! So that pdf file had the gate code, and door code, so that was important, I was able to reach out to some extended family who were able to help me out so that was the only hiccup.

Great Beach House at Port Isabel

Great overall stay and property with fantastic views of Laguna Madre. The house was clean and beautifully decorated and maintained. No real negative comments to give. Pool was right next door so that’s great for kids. Property was easy to get in and out of. Would definitely stay again if we head that way!

Great Family Time!

It was just a weekend but it felt like a month of relaxation...we enjoyed the view, seating outside for a coffee every morning, and a wine bottle at the end of the day! The proximity to the pool was great as well.

Great Winter Get Away

We spent three weeks at this property. The location is exellent. Overlooks the bay with an excellent view of South Padre Island. The house is in a gated community so there are no real concerns about safety. The location has access to most needs within a few miles. The quality and variety of food available was quite surprising. Restaurants are plentiful with good variety. We found plenty of activities with which to ccupy our time. Our only suggestion would be for the kitchen to be better provisioned. There was only 4 table settings. There is no broiler pan orcan opener. More food storage containers would be helpful. There is a Kurieg coffee maker but a good drip maker would be preferred for those who want to make multiple travel mugs to take with them or like to have their coffee ready first thing. Overall this property is good value. Thank you for a nice visit.

Great experience, great location

The location was perfect. The AC worked perfectly. The view was spectacular. Community pool was right next door. Neighbors were friendly. It had all the necessities we needed. It was just a short 5 minute drive to the beach. Several stores, restaurants and souvenir shops along the way. We would definitely stay at this VRBO again.

Great vacay

We loved the place! It was more of a distance from the island to my liking, but the accommodations made up for it. The pool was right next door and two cozy backyard patios....very comfortable. We were pleased. I will say this though. We had our 19m old grandson and though he's quite comfortable with stairs, there's several so keep a watchful eye. Also the patio at the end of the yard isn't too secure meaning it's not gated and only roped off so a small child could easily fall. Other than that, it was great. We'd definitely come back.

Perfection

This little house is in the perfect location. Close to the beach, but not too close. And close to all the fun amenities in Port Isabel, South Padre and the cute little community the house is in. The view from the back of the house was amazing at sunrise and sunset! My only complaint is that the house can sleep 8, but there was only silverware for 4. There was a lack of cups as well and the fridge water/ice maker was broken so we had to buy bottled water because the water out of the sink tasted awful. I would stay there again!

Beautiful Getaway

Loved the property as well as the location! The house is next door to the pool with its own private access, major plus! Not too noisy and quite time starts at 10pm. There were still people swimming after that time frame but you couldn't really hear them inside the house. Loved looking out the main bedroom at the ocean. There is a huge window in the living area to admire the view as well. Plenty of seating outside to read or take in the ocean air. The stackable washer dryer combo was a definite plus. The main bedroom mattress was Soo comfy, wanting to purchase the same one for our house! A few things to bring,... spices, beach towels and extra toilet paper. The twins beds in the 3rd bedrooms need to definitely be replaced or padding added as a topper. A/C unit struggled to keep up with the heat. The temp in the house hovered between 75 and 77 the entire time we were there. The ceiling fans and portable AC helped a bit Over all the property was in a very convenient location to HEB and Walmart, gated, had security and was clean (did see one cockroach in the bathroom). Would give 4 out of 5 stars!

Beautiful beach house

We had a great week here. The house is beautiful and so tranquil! The pool was amazing. Bring bug spray as the mosquitos near the bay this time of year are pretty bad. The house was just beautiful though. The owner was very quick to respond to our questions and we felt safe with Fidel as the security guard. We miss this place already.

With 3 distinct outdoor seating areas, a complete and lovely kitchen, seaside decor, and extremely comfortable and bright rooms and hospitality, we will return! We loved the location, with both sunrise and sunset views, watching the tide and birds, along with the privacy was beautiful and relaxing. The little extra touches throughout were well appreciated. We highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Fred Lopez

Hello, my name is Fred Lopez and I'm married to my wife, Kenya and we have an only son, David. I'm born and raised in South Texas, and we currently reside in McAllen, TX. We enjoy the outdoors and the south Texas weather for the most part (it can get very hot!).
We're both full time professionals, my wife is an educator and I work in the construction industry. We understand the importance of having a calm and peaceful getaway.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because of the great location and benefits offered in the gated subdivision. The backyard has great views and ambiance. We have been visiting the South Padre Island area for many years and would always talk about buying property to get away from our normal daily life routine. This property gives us that getaway we have been looking for.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of this property is two-fold. One is a relaxing ambiance with Laguna Madre as your backyard. The balcony has a great view of the ocean, swimming pool, and fishing pier. Enjoy the backyard patio set and decks which offer many sights and sounds of nature with birds, dolphins, and fish. The other is all the amenities offered by the subdivision HOA. You are in a private, gated subdivision and that is great peace of mind. You can enjoy the pool side chairs and tables, swimming pool, or the hot tub. You can fish from the fishing pier, wade fish, or kayak fishing. There are trails just outside the subdivision that connect to some very scenic routes for walking, running, or biking. In addition, there is a subdivision common area with picnic tables, kids playground, and a basketball half-court.
