The property was very clean. The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff we saw were all very friendly and helpful. The room had great views of the beach and gulf. We loved the short walk to the beach. Parking was great and loved that it was gated. Was a wonderful stay and would book the room again.

Great building and unit

The balcony has a great upper level direct view of the ocean. The location is perfect. This unit is a little older than some of the other units and has carpet, but it is very clean and we'd stay there again.

Great Condo

During our time there we enjoyed the amazing view on the 9th floor. While we were there we went deep sea fishing, hunting for crab on the beach, explored all the candy stores and hung out together as a family. The pictures on vrbo need to be updated. The condo is way nicer in person than the pics with the new couch and dining table. We really enjoyed our stay and will be hopefully booking here again in the future.

Thanksgiving family time

We had a wonderful time in the condo. Only negative was the construction in the condo above ours the whole week. Due to rainy weather on Thanksgiving and Friday we were stuck inside and had to listen to a wood/tile saw the entire day.

Thank you for sharing your experience—we are so glad to hear you had a wonderful time in the condo! It sounds like you made some lovely memories, despite the rainy Thanksgiving. We are truly sorry to hear about the construction noise. That’s certainly not the peaceful stay we aim to provide, especially when you're looking to relax indoors during less-than-ideal weather. Thank you again for choosing us for your getaway!

Great overall experience at this location. The condo was extremely clean and had a pleasant fragrance upon entering. Some of the furniture has been updated (not shown in VRBO). All the issues that other reviewers had previous complained about have been mitigated. My only gripe was the limited parking because the covered garage is under construction. Beautiful view!

Property need refreshed.

The glass shelves were covered in dust. and other surfaces seemed smeared ( coffee table) The refridgerator looked like it needed wiped out. Bathroom faucet handle in master bath left sink needed a good scrubbing. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the view.

Location Is Everything

The condo was gorgeous! I loved the upgrades of the carpet, couch and dinning room table. Easy access to the beach and property maintenance and security was on point. Only down falls, were master shower was very small and on day two of our stay the water was randomly shut off. There was no communication as to why until I wslked down to the property managers office and asked. There was a busted piped 5 floors below us so the water to the entire building was shut off. Water was off several hours before finally being turned back on, and communication to the visitors regarding it was not very well. Other than that, we enjoyed our mini vacation.

Very poor service

There was no water for approx. 8 hours during our stay. They say the laster bedroom has view to beach but the shutter never opened so never enjoyed that view. We raised concerns with the responsible party that is the Padre Island rentals but they never got back to us. We kept calling them both for water and help with the shutter but they completely ignored us. I would request a refund for the day when there was no water. It was very very inconvenient. We could not even use restrooms.

Thank you for staying with us, I am sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. There was water pipe that broke and needed emergency repairs. The issues was addressed that day and we stayed in contact with you and all guests about the issue. The shutters have been fixed and the second bedroom has a fantastic views. We are sorry that you experienced these two issues. We are happy to let all of our upcoming guests know that the issues have been fixed. We are excited and looking forward to hosting our upcoming guests and offering a 5 star vacation home.

Nice place…needs a little work

The property was pretty much as advertised however there were aspects of it that detracted from the overall enjoyment. The view of the beach was spectacular but the condo itself felt dated and in need of work. Furnishings were ok but felt worn out. There were several things that just didn’t work; the blinds on the windows that faced the beach in both the living area and master bedroom would not open or close - maintenance came and got them to close somewhat but we couldn’t control them at all while we stayed there; there were no instructions on how to operate the televisions and we had to get maintenance to come in and get them working, however, the one in the Master bedroom never worked. The master bath area felt very dated, especially the shower and toilet area which was very dark and we couldn’t get the light that seemed to be associated with the fan in there to work at all. Enjoyed the area and the time with family (who stayed elsewhere) but would not rent this particular condo again.

Great location

The complex we stayed in was great. A really good location and right on the beach with a beautiful beach view from the 9th floor. The unit itself was very dated. Very old furniture. Carpet on the floor. The kitchen had the basics but not super well stocked. The sliding doors to the balcony are very old and are very hard to open and close. They don’t insulate well and the master bedroom was warm. There was a ceiling fan I had to use to keep it cool but it was a bit noisy while sleeping. Maintenance was very responsive when we had one small issue but PI Rentals really didn’t know much about the unit. Told us we needed to park anywhere but the covered area but there is actually a covered spot for that unit we later found out. They also told us we could use the umbrella and chairs set up by the beach but we actually couldn’t. Only left us with one hand towel per bathroom. Not really enough. If someone put some money into this unit, it could be spectacular.

The unit was very clean with a fantastic view of the ocean from the large balcony. We had some difficulty with the lock and someone came to fix it immediately in the evening. Beds were comfy. The unit is a little outdated but served our purposes well.

This property is perfectly located on the beach with great views from this ninth floor condo. While the condo decor was a little dated, (it did not bother us in the least) it was extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. Check-in/out was easy and management was very friendly.
