Facility was clean. perfect for a short stay. Wish the unit was a little larger but good for just the 2 of us. The pool and fishing dock were the best part. Beautiful view and actually caught fish in canal
Good place near the beach, Cozy and nice on the inside.

Great place highly recommend
Perfect for 4 people, the kitchen and restroom are nice. The pool area is really nice as well. We really liked the pier that we had access to from the property. Looking forward to another stay!
Beach style room close to Whitecap beach. Quiet neighborhood on a canal. Nice shower with everything you need for a stay.

Great location & price
For the price this unit is hard to beat. I enjoy the fishing dock and being so close to the beach. The bathroom was remodeled and is very nice. I would suggest if you were staying for a length of time and plan on cooking to bring your own pans and utensils. I was also disappointed that they didn’t offer early check-in.
The location of this condo is great; under 10 minutes to walk to the beach. But the property is more rundown than the pictures indicate. The floors were extremely dusty, like it hadn’t been swept in weeks, never-mind vacuumed, which it desperately needed. A light came on automatically every night at the back door with no ability to turn it off which was a problem since 1/3 of the blinds are missing. If you are light or noise sensitive, this is not the place for you since I could also hear the upstairs neighbor stomping around all night. There are minimal dishes in the kitchen, no hair dryer (I didn’t even think to check if this would be included since it seems like such an obvious/ inexpensive thing to provide) and no loungers by the pool. The linens were clean and plentiful, the air conditioning work well, and the bathroom was in fairly good repair and cleanliness.

Disappointing
This condo is more rundown than the pictures seem to indicate. The floors were covered in dust, like it hadn’t been swept in weeks, never-mind given a solid vacuum, which it needs. There are minimal dishes in the kitchen and no hair dryer provided (I didn’t even think to check if that would be provided since it’s such a small expense and most vacation rentals have figured that out.) A light at the back door came on automatically every night with no ability to turn it off which was a problem since 1/3 of the blinds are missing on the patio door. If you are noise-sensitive, I wouldn’t recommend this place as I could hear the upstairs neighbor stomping around at all hours of the night. There are also no loungers by the pool. The linens were clean and plentiful, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well and the washroom was in decent repair and cleanliness.
Water front, safe area, very clean studio apartment
We enjoyed three weeks at this property in February 2023… Check in was easy ~ text contact with support team was very easy ~ it was a safe area. The apartment was very clean and ready for us the minute we walked in… Thank you for helping us Have a great time on Padre Island.!
Nice clean room. Comfortable bed and cold AC. Very close to beach. Clean pool. A value for the cost. Excellent comunicstion with host. Only suggestion would be to have some type of air freshener in the room. I think it is very hard to keep an ocean side unit not smelling mildewey. Other than that...it was a very pleasant stay.
We absolutely loved this place except for a few issues the main one being trash cans full in the pool area that smelled like something died in them and was there our entire stay so using the pool was not really an option unfortunately. The other things were minor! We absolutely loved our room it was very clean and well stocked of linens, towels and kitchen cookware. We will definitely be coming back again soon!
