Close to beach.

I’ve stayed in a few places over the years at SPI. This area is really great and not too busy. The house is walking distance to the beach and the beach access has a shower to rinse off sand. I liked that the condo has an electronic keypad instead of actual keys. It made it easier for everyone staying and not risk losing house keys. I do wish that the floor was cleaner (seemed like there was a layer of sand in house). Understandably is is a beach property so that can be difficult. The smaller bathroom had a high pressure shower that caused water to fill the bathroom floor so we all stuck with using the larger bathroom. It didn’t seem like the place was inspected too well before we came because we found a case of Dr Pepper in the bedroom drawer and Bobby pins under couch pillows. The couch was sandy too. The “master bed” wasn’t too bad but my friends were not happy with the other beds and the pull out couch was a definite no. There was Not another comforter for the pull out couch either just a sheet. I would suggest upgrading the bedding (at least the plastic pillows) and getting better silverware. The spoons and forks were baby sized.

Thank you for the review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I also wonder why I need to learn about these issues through a review instead of giving me a call immediately when discovered. I would have been able to solve many of them in no time. I am easy to contact and at the island most of the time. I also have people there that can help!

Great Location

Great property, very clean and ready for our stay. Location was the best, we could walk to the beach and not worry about parking. Little paint in the master bathroom would make a lot of difference. Overall, great place to stay!

Perfect!

The property was beautiful and clean. Everything you would need when visiting the beach! We loved the pool. The owner was very understanding and accommodating when we had to change our vacation dates twice. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you!

Locate was great.

This place needs a good scrub, and communication with management was not the best.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar, 2020
Thank you for the review. Management is just me, the owner. A call to my phone, which is listed everywhere in the condo and in the building would have helped. I am not sure why you were not able to communicate with me. I am at the island most of the time!

Location great, unit is nice. Had everything needed for our stay. Would stay again

Size of unit was good for my needs. Everything I expected it to be by the description. My only problem was that the bathrooms were not very clean. The rest of the unit was good. I would stay again. That a relaxing time around the pool.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the condo and I am sorry something was not to your expectations...although I am puzzled why I was not contacted immediately and had to find out in a review. My wife and I take issues and problems very seriously and when they do occur, we always address them immediately.

FABULOUS!!

This is a jewel on a side street. We so enjoyed our stay there. And it is so nice to be able to take your furry family with you. This place would be so great for a family reunion and rent the three condos. That's what I am thinking of doing next time. The beach access was not too far. We enjoyed our stay!!!

Fabulous Family Vacay!

We loved our stay at Casa Caracol C. Very spacious, quiet and super quick walk to the beach. If you weren't able to walk or wanted to unload a bunch of stuff at the beach, there are also places to park right by the beach entrance. Our favorite part about CCC was the pool. Our 2 young boys would swim every night. And I would enjoy it every morning - It is so nice sit out there with your coffee amongst all the beautiful flowers and plants. We also loved the large master shower, the TV's in each room and the easy access to our room (no stairs). The owner was very friendly and quick to fix a small issue we had as soon as we got there. We hope you enjoy Casa Caracol C in South Padre as much as we did!

Nice with a few issues

We would stay again but plan to bring a larger group so may need to upgrade. A few issues with pipes under kitchen sink that we fixed, shower in single bathroom leaks, mattress in single bedroom needs to be replace ( very uncomfortable) front door lock needs battery replaced ( locked us out had to use backdoor), water flow in single shower was not good. This property did not have a dishwasher.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar, 2020
*** Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I wish I would have received a call or a text to report all of these issues, but only got a message about the leak under the kitchen sink, which graciously, my guest also reported to have simply tighten it to correct it, and we are grateful for that! *** I have installed a redundant set of electronic locks in both access doors to avoid my guests from getting locked out, and as reported by the guest, the system worked beautifully and as expected by allowing them to gain access through the back door. I am also glad to report that the batteries were replaced immediately! *** Water at the island is slightly hard and from time to time, shower heads need to be either unclogged or replaced. We have chosen to install new shower heads in order to correct the water flow issue. Done! *** We own this condo and are very proud of it. We aim to provide a clean, safe and fun environment for our guests to enjoy SPI, and therefore I am very responsive and easy to contact. I am local and just a phone call or text away!

Excellent location mid-way on Padre Island and close to beach

Having unit on ground floor and large living area was great. Enjoyed having coffee and breakfast at table beside pool every morning, enjoying outside. We would stay here again in future. Mike & Cathy

Thank you for the review. By talking to you, I know you guys had a blast, and I wish I would have gotten a bit more than a 3 star review. I will contact you privately to see if there was anything not to par or anything we should have done better! Thanks again and hope to see you back in the near future!

Excellent well priced vacation property

My wife and I just returned from spending Feb 1st to March 1st, 2016 at this condo. We really enjoyed our stay. The owner, Roberto is a top notch owner who is very interested in making your stay as pleasant as possible. I would highly recommend this property for its roominess and convenient location to everything you need in South Padre Island, Texas. Robert & Mary Ilderton, Ontario, Canada

Affordable and near the in-laws

We were glad to find this place to stay while visiting the in-laws for the holidays. Spacious and clean, with a supermarket and CVS nearby for snacks and aloe (my husband got sunburned). My only complaint would be the group who reserved the upstairs unit was really noisy! It sounded as though they were moving furniture one evening, who knows. We would reserve here again, likely the upper unit.

My #1 choice for SPI visits

My family & I loved Casa Caracol. The kitchens were a nice size and well stocked, the washer and dryer made it easy to keep clean, dry towels always available and the pool was immaculate. We rented the downstairs unit 'C' for 9 nights and the two upstairs units, A & B for 5 nights. I personally stayed in the downstairs unit to avoid steps. I loved walking out of the French doors of the living area to the pool. A word of caution, prepare to place towels inside the door so the folks coming in from the pool with wet feet don't slip on the ceramic tile floor. We used our large beach towels which worked fine. All rooms in all units are spacious and inviting. The shower in the downstairs unit is HUGE. The upstairs units have large tubs & smaller showers. My daughter-in-law enjoyed the tub. Everyone...my kids, my grandchildren and my great granddaughter, all commented on how relaxing our visit was and how much fun we had at Casa Caracol. Everything was in working order. The beds were very comfortable (you might want to bring your favorite pillow). There was never a need to call management to fix something. I am looking forward to returning in a few weeks for a shorter visit. Roberto and Sylvia ( the owner/managers) are great to work with and were very accommodating in helping us extend our stay. Super folks.

Awesome place to stay. We were there a week and had a great time. The open layout have us plenty of room to move around. We had a small issue with the stove top, but we texted Roberto, and he had someone out in minutes! We walked to the beach every day, with no problems. Definitely recommend this property.
