Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the convenient location near the beach. We apologize for the cleanliness issues you experienced. Your comments are valuable in helping us improve, and we appreciate your bringing these matters to our attention. Thank you again for choosing us.
The unit was in good overall condition and the location was excellent. However, we encountered a couple of inconveniences upon arrival. First, the elevator was out of service, requiring us to climb four flights of stairs, which could be challenging for someone who isn’t very fit. Additionally, we were initially unable to enter the unit and had to contact the property management company. Thankfully, they resolved the issue quickly. Despite these minor setbacks, the stay was enjoyable, and we appreciated the quality of the unit and its great location.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Spring Break 2025 experience with us! We are so glad to hear it was a great one. It means the world to us to know we played a part in making your spring break memorable.
We can’t wait to welcome you back soon!
Loved the condo. It was nice and clean. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was convient for us. The location is great right on the beach for easy access and an amazing view. The pool was the perfect temperature. We had a nice stay and would definitely come back

This is a great property in a great location. Everything was in perfect working order. The only downside is the parking is very tight for a large vehicle and the Queen and twin mattresses are very firm. I would gladly stay here again. I would recommend to friends and family.

Overall, the condo looked just like the pictures and the location is pretty good. The building is a bit older, but it is functional. HOWEVER…… BUGS! Everywhere! We started to cook and saw them right away. We immediately called the Property Manager and left the building. The management company was quick to get us into a different condo which we will continue to visit, as it was very nice!

The property overall was great. Location was perfect, beach access was easy and not crowded. Loved having 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. Bathrooms were mostly updated. Bedrooms were nice,especially the master with king bed and private balcony. Living area with dining room and kitchen were great. Only complaint is furniture needs updating. Also place needs some wall repairs and a fresh coat of paint but we were here for the beach do not a big deal. Wish property had a grill, thats a big one for me as we cooked alot and i like to grill. Great view from the front balcony. Overall experience was great!
We should have stayed longer. None of us was ready to go back home! This property was clean and airy, with balconies facing both east and west. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the world pass by. While visitors to neighboring properties spent the long balmy nights playing music and splashing in the pool, we slept well in the quiet and well-situated bedrooms. The kitchen was well-appointed so we ate well, too. Ample storage space throughout meant we could put our luggage up and move around the property freely. Check-in and check-out were a breeze with a professional, highly-organized property owner. Thank you!

NEVER AGAIN!
Some VERY Important info left out of description. Cockroaches! I've been to Padre Island many many times. I've never experienced cockroaches ever! I'm ok with little sugar ants no big deal. But when cockroaches and I don't mean little ones are crawling on the walls
Check in at the off site office of Padre Island Rentals. Office open 24hrs. The Check in process was easy and efficient. Bags of coffee, filters, sugar, and creamer given upon check in was a nice touch. The condo was clean and well provisioned. A small point-no toilet paper holders in the bathrooms. Shower stream was a bit low pressured. No washer and dryer in the unit, but the third floor laundry at least did not require quarters, credit card could be used. Location right on the beach is a major plus. Overall, a property that delivered as described and well supported by the property managers.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the check-in process and appreciated the little touches like the coffee and amenities provided. We strive to make every guest's stay as comfortable as possible, so it's great to hear that the condo met your expectations.
I apologize for the inconvenience with the toilet paper holders and shower pressure.
We would love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway.
This property has convenient beach access and is short distance walk onto the beach compared to other condos I’ve stayed at on SPI. Check in process was easy but there was only one associate that was working and was busy handling a phone call so I did have to wait a few minutes. The property was clean however there was a section of the wall where the paint looked torn off (pictured) so that was a bit of a turn off. The master bedroom faces the street with a balcony, this was the only bedroom that had a tv. It would’ve been nice to have a tv in the other two bedrooms. The beds were super firm. Kitchen was nice and had all the needed utensils/cookware. Balcony of course was great with the perfect gulf view! The sofa seating area was minimal but did the job for us. You will need to bring your own beach items like chairs/umbrellas, etc. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place!

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your stay! We are so glad you enjoyed the convenient beach access and could take in those perfect Gulf views from the balcony—that’s what South Padre Island is all about!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the check-in process, wall paint, and bedroom TVs. We’re sorry for any inconvenience these caused.
It’s wonderful to hear that you found the kitchen well-stocked and the overall property clean and enjoyable. We truly value your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing stay by the beach.
I really enjoyed this condo. It is large, roomy, and well appointed, very pretty, and has everything you need. I think it looks better in person than it does in the photos. The pool was heated, clean, and well maintained. The location right on the beach was superb. Covered parking was a big plus. The elevator worked well and never gave us a problem. I would definitely stay here again. My only minor quibbles would be:
1. The living room furniture is stiff and rather uncomfortable. A few extra cushions and pillows would fix that I think.
2. The beds are very, very firm; much firmer than my liking. I realize that is a matter of personal choice and many others prefer firm mattresses.
3. The water pressure in the showers, though adequate, is low. If you have a thick, lustrous head of hair and like to shampoo it, you're going to have your work cut out for you.
These quibbles are minor, and overall I really liked the place think you'll like it too. I have no reservations about giving it a 5 star rating.

My family and I come down every year.
We absolutely love the Florence 2!!!
We love that it only has like 21 units!!
The pool is never crowded and the beach access is Great!! We highly recommend these accommodations!!!
The apartment had plenty roomy for our family of 4. We liked that it was a smaller complex, the pool and hot tub were never busy. It is right on the beach with one balcony facing East and another West so always an oportunity to be in the sun. From the master bedroom we only heard a little street noise, our son however could hear the neighbors quite well from his room. Kitchen was equipped enough, we mostly brought frozen meals to heat in the oven so didn't need much. Overall we were happy with this property and would stay there again. We did not have a need to comunicate with the property manager so I can not comment on that.
The property had a great location the beach. The property was lovely. The pool was not heated due to parts issues and the parking spot was really tight. We parked outside without any problems.
The property was very clean. It was wonderful. It provided everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much Maureen for the great review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Cleanliness means a lot to us and our crew, they take pride in the work they do, thank you for the compliment! We hope to work with you again in the future.
We loved the location, but the water was not drinkable. There was no notice in our condo, but my family down the hall had a note that said not to drink it. If we had known ahead of time, we would have been able to buy drinkable water.
Great views of the ocean and as close to the beach as you can get.

Thanks Michael for sharing your experience vacationing in our beachfront 3 bedroom Florence II 403. We really appreciate how clean and tidy you left the place. We hope you will be back.
Great location. A lot of room for family time and kids. Super clean inside and comfortable. No fireworks were seen from either balconies as far as 403 is concerned if that’s something you want to do at the place you stay. Otherwise super nice. Thank you
Love the location: 50 steps over sand dune and you are on the beach. However the place needs serious maintenance and updating: furniture is very uncomfortable because of breaking down, wifi was unusable and unreliable, Kitchen pans were so warped that you could not fry or broil on them. Black mold on the wall behind the drapes in living area.
