Excellent choice

We wanted a location close to the water but one that afforded other options. This had a heated pool, pickleball court and a dock out back for fishing! Perfect for the family!!

Good place to stay in North Padre

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and property are great. The only drawbacks were the mosquitos that made it impossible to enjoy the balconies (bring repellent) and the tiny frying pan that had no anti-stick material, so we could not cook a large meal and or clean the food off the pan. Other than that, we had fun fishing and hanging out at the great pool. We will likely return.

Great spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Star Fish’ Inn was a great spot for our group of 7. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, and there was always plenty of hot water for showering. The house was clean although my allergies did flare while there. Maybe last users had a pet there.? My only complaints are with the pool cleanliness at the resort. It doesn’t take long for the water to get cloudy, so googles are definitely needed or your eyes will get irritated. The house itself was great...does need some new water hoses.

Stolen Fishing Rods & Dirty

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our fishing rods were stolen off our private porch in the back by the bay, called office staff about the issue and they said they would get with there team members & definitely get back to us that day. And up to this day nobody has got back to us! One of those fishing rods had very sentimental value to us it belonged to a love one that has passed. House was dirty. And ice machine made horrible nose all night that didn't allow our guests in the livingroom to sleep.

Family trip to Aruba Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is wonderful and there was lots of space for our group, my only feedback was the lack of kitchen supplies provided, last year we stayed a couple of doors down and the kitchen was fully stocked with adequate utensils and cookware though this wasn't the case this time, BUT we did enjoy the air fryer.

Beautiful property

This property was beautiful and we had great family, friendly fun. The only big downside was that the description included pool towels and beach towels but there were only a few bath towels and were highly discouraged to use bath towels for pool or beach or we would get charged additional costly fees. So only suggestion is remove description of pool/beach towels provided or encourage renters to bring own towels. Also, no extra blankets provided. Bring your own blankets!
