First visit to South Padre

Good location, nice neighborhood and spacious accommodations.Unfortunately, needs some minor maintenance and the carpet is very dirty, which is the first thing you see when you get in.

Great location, great owners

The home is located less than a mile from all of the main bars/restaurants. We rented golf carts to get around for the weekend and it was perfect. Had a couple small issues but the hosts were very responsive if needed and offered to help any way they could. Would stay again

Whale House

This was the perfect place for our family to stay over Christmas. We used the pool and hot tub almost daily and we did a lot of cooking. We had great space with the two kitchens, but there was room for all of us to eat together upstairs. Nichole was very responsive to any questions or issues that we had. Overall, we had a great time there!

Whale experience

Beautiful home located in a convenient location to restaurants, shopping and fun entertainment. This house is very spacious and has everything needed for home away from home. It has its own personal oasis in the backyard. We will miss the beautiful pool the most. We will definitely plan another trip to visit this house.

Great bayside home

This is a very pretty home with beautiful decorating. The pool was fabulous with a shade sail over it. (That was perfect for those very hot, humid days.) A 10 min. walk to the beach. Two kitchens were nice,. But didn't have enough big pots to cook seasi or life for the pots and plans.

Relaxing Family Getaway

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation. We had plenty of room for our large family. We enjoyed the beach the most, secondly was the pool and hot tub. They have everything you need to enjoy a full day at the beach, a large heavy duty shade tent, umbrellas, a couple smaller pop up tents, some chairs, lots of toys and a cooler. I had a couple questions during the stay and she responded very quick. I would recommend this house. We had a whale of a time.

Better than in pictures

Our family had a wonderful time at this unexpecting home. The decore is a little off other than that, the space was clean, spacious and well worth the stay. There were plenty of bedrooms that had very comfortable beds. There were also plenty of bathrooms, although the hallway bathroom shower did not have much water pressure as the others. What I loved most about this home were the 2 kitchens. It was so helpful when preparing a meal for a big family. Overall, we had a wonderful time, thank you for the opportunity to stay at your home.

Pleased overall

Overall, had a great time at the house. I would definitely rebook provided the opportunity to visit SPI again. Going forward, I would just recommend that visitors verify the hot tub is operational prior to their stay. Other than that, I have no other significant complaints.
