We had a great stay and would book this rental again. The room was nice and clean, well stocked, and the building very quiet with easy access to the heated swimming pool and the beach. Thank you for a great family vacation!
Overall the stay was good. We needed to buy more toilet paper and left it at the condo. Adding mirror in twin beds room would be nice. Also, in the bedroom closer to the pool, move the mirrors up from behind the table lamps.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback! We’re happy to hear you had an overall good stay. For our guests’ convenience, we provide a starter supply of essentials, including 2–3 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom; for longer stays like yours (5 nights), guests typically purchase additional supplies based on personal needs. This is normal for all rentals on South Padre Island. We also appreciate the suggestions about the mirrors and will keep them in mind as we continue to improve the condo. Thanks again for choosing our South Padre Island home!
Rosanna was more than accommodating, the condo was set up so well with everything you’d need for your family beach trip! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, playing cards around the table, and winding down on the balcony watching the waves. We would stay here over and over! The grounds were also kept up nicely & the jacuzzi nice and hot for a windy/chilly day.
Perfect place for my family to spend a long weekend! The condo was well equipped with everything we needed and more (beach chairs, umbrella, toiletries). The ocean view was beautiful and the location was very peaceful and convenient.
Very accurate description host very responsive and right on beach great stay all around house provided a lot of thing need on beach which made it super easy
This is a fantastic property within a few steps of the beach. Rosanna is very good at communication and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend this beach condo!
Property staff was very friendly and Rosanna responded timely when there was a question. Beds were comfy and her place was beautiful. The property was very quiet and it was a peaceful relaxing stay.
The room was very clean and had all of the essentials.Both pools were disappointing because according to the grounds keeper they are not heated until December 1st and they were too cold.
Great unit in a great location. Jellyfish spoiled our ocean plans. Very thankful for the pool and hot tub to keep our kids busy. Appreciated how well stocked the unit was. Walkable to many different restaurants.
Perfect place. Our host has this condo full of great items. We wanted for nothing. The location is perfect, the condo is perfect and we had a fantastic time. We will return!
Nice location for our trip, very close to friends nearby.

We eventually decided to buy a slice of South Padre heaven of our own in 2018. We have enjoyed sharing our love for the island so much that we have opened up 2 more condos to guests. We call ourselves Texas Vistas Vacation Rentals and hope to have you stay with us and decide which condo is your favorite :)!
Why they chose this property
South Padre Island is the most beautiful beach in Texas! Since traveling here as a little girl, the island has grown into a vacation destination for more than just locals. We are so proud of our island and hope to introduce more people to this quaint beach town.
