This was a cute little home, but the furniture is quite outdated.
The mattress in the bedroom is very soft and springy. My first night I slept in the bed and woke up incredibly sore. A couple of pillow cases smelled like body odor, so that was an unpleasant surprise. It made we worry about the cleanliness of the rest of the place. It looked clean at first glance, but after that surprise, I wasn't so sure how well the place is disinfected after each guest.
My second night there, I decided to try the sleeper sofa. That experience was worse than sleeping on the actual bed. Needless to say, I did not sleep well at all during my stay here.
If you have any back issues, I probably would not recommend this home, but it was charming. The kitchen has plenty of utensils, mix-matched cups and plates. Some spices and many small appliances.
It's conveniently located close to the bridge that leads you to S. Padre island, but you also have to go over a small bridge to get to the community and it always seemed to be backed up due to boats crossing under and the bridge needing to be opened for them to pass through. You'll need to come with lots of patience in order to get in or out of the community as it takes a while for the bridge to be reopened once the boats have crossed.
The amenities within the community were just okay. I'm not sure if the additional $80 entrance fee collected by the community itself is worth the cost.
After paying that fee upon check-in, I decided to go see what I was paying for. The miniature golf course was so tiny and laughable really. It seemed to be designed for toddlers. The gym is small with a couple of treadmills, elliptical machines and bicycles. Maybe 6 or 7 machines altogether. The pools were nice, but full of kids who didn't adhere to the pool rules and parents who cared less to enforce them. There's also a library and laundry room. The golf course seemed to be the only thing that may be worth the cost, but I don't golf, so the fees felt like a waste.
Even though I appreciated having a place to stay for the time I was in town, I'm certain I would explore other options next time I'm in town.
