It was very close to walk to beach. Parking limited at condo but could park at another area outside. Condo had only one room which was the living room. All appliances were great. Several items provided for beach use. It had Internet and cable tv. Bed could have been firmer. Ideal for a couple. It would be too small for family. Balcony faces nearby building. Overall, definitely better than staying at a hotel.

This place was at a great location and literally just walk out to the beach and enjoy your day! There is a pool and a hot tub to enjoy as well. Also a plus was that there is an elevator if you're too tired to walk up to your room lol! Will definitely book again for any future trips, another plus is that room had beach essentials in case you forget to bring them (beach chairs & umbrella, small ice chest, towels etc..) which would have saved me some trunk space! Awesome place, my room was on the side so didn't have a beach view and there are rooms facing the beach so no big deal for me because it wasn't a factor cause just being steps away from the beach was the reason for booking.

It was a great place to stay for girls weekend. Would have liked to have had hooks to hang towels for drying and more toiletries for 3 people, but the room was clean and the location right on the beach was perfect.

Property was as promised, so that’s good Always check on tar issue on beaches there as can be very limiting Also check if any repairs being done to building as being woken at 0800 by a jack hammer on outside wall outside our room was very alarming ! Plenty to do close to the condo

Awesome stay!

This condo was perfect, it has everything you need for a beach trip, super well stocked. Perfect location really easy beach access. We never saw the pool or hot tub crowded. The beach was also not super crowded which was nice. The owner was very communicative when there was some tar on the beach and left supplies to help (fortunately we did not encounter any while there) but I love that they were prepared. Very cozy and quiet condo. Would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

Empty nesters beach fun with a dog

We had a great time! The beach just outside our door was great! Lots of dogs, space, great sun and waves. The hot tub and pool were really clean. And our place at only 400 square feet was super comfortable! The only thing that wasn’t perfect is that the water pressure in the building was a little low one Saturday evening when clearly everybody was all showering at once in the entire building to head out for dinner. But it wasn’t a big deal at all.

This is NOT beachfront. There is tiny balcony on the side of the building. which is mostly looking at the street and down the alley where dumpsters are kept. If you don't care about overlooking the ocean this place is for you.

SPI stay

Stay was nice at the condo. The bed was absolutely horrible. I have never slept on such a bad bed. The mattress was firm and so used. The bed frame was squeaky and wobbly. A keurig would have been nice for coffee. The location on the beach was nice. There was an umbrella but it was a patio umbrella not a beach one.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2025
Hi Kristin Thanks for staying with us at South Padre. I'm sure to check out the bed since yours is the first complaint I've had. It's so important to have a comfortable sleep. We use drip type coffee pots because they are most common. Our larger units offer both type. We do use patio umbrellas for the beach since they are sturdier and offer a larger area for shade. We often have windy days and the cheap ones flip up and break. I hope you will come back and visit again.
