We enjoyed our stay at this cute rental. Close to walmart, starbucks and Osprey boat tour. Fishing off the dock was a plus. Communication was spot on. Clean and looking forward to our next stay.
My husband and I just need a stress reliever trip. The condo was great, the weather was great and we loved watching the moon jelly fish around the dock in the evening. This helped us both to relieve a little stress, we certainly will return.
I loved that we were so close to the island and near the city as well for emergency needs.. Got to watch the sunset and the fireworks from the balcony deck! It was a dream stay! 10x10
Huge master bedroom upstairs on 3rd floor. Kids loved the bunks on the 1st floor. Living area is on the 2nd floor. Every floor had a door to go outside and see the water.
Clean enough,parking for one very small car.if u have a boat no parking.boat slip is great. Bring exstra towls garbage bages and blankets.could use deep cleaning.i would stay there again,that says it all .
Felt very comfortable and at home there. Nice and quiet. Close to everything. HEB and Walmart about 2 miles away. Literally a few blocks from the causeway to South Padre Island. We went to the beach access on the island during the week and ate and stayed in Port Isabel. Only negative is there is only parking for one car in front.
After a pretty complicated beginning it got better. I appreciate the management taking care of the situation as promptly as possible other than getting a curtain the day before departure. It was nice to be on the water. My husband likes to fish, so being a a fishing pier was convenient. I wasnât aware there were two sets of stairs but we managed to navigate through.
This condo was clean and a good location but could use some attention. I would say it is more for a group of guys fishing but the boat slip/outdoors is lacking. It is a huge slip but has no cleats for tie down. So bring ample rope. Our ropes were not long enough on our bay boat. Also there are no outside lights to see or fish. We could not find any electrical outlets on the dock that worked also. There is a huge 20x30 deck with great views that would be amazing if there were more than 2 chairs.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Not What We Expected
Pictures are deceiving. The room with a couch and tiny bed has no privacy- itâs completely open to anyone coming and going from the home. Pictures made it seem that the dock had a railing, for safety reasons, but the porch was on the 2nd floor patio. Towels smelled like eggs, sheets and pillows smelt musty and old. There were hairs on the sheets, dead cockroach in the washer, very limited kitchen equipmentâ no pot holders, 1 knife to cut food, no foil to keep baking sheets clean, master bath shower curtain was completely backwards and gross, fish scales all over the dock- getting tracked in the house, garbage can was completely full outside, and parking instructions were very confusing once you arrivedâ street parking is a block away, making it hard to unload for a 4 day, 3 night stay. Will not return.
Pros:
Right on the channel so you could step outside and fish. There was a space to clean your catch, too.
Close to the lighthouse and some other sites in Port Isabel.
Just a few blocks from the bridge to the island.
Nice kitchen with plenty of space for cooking.
Cons:
3-stories with lots of narrow stairs. You get a real workout staying here!
Furniture is old and placement was odd. But we didn't spend much time inside, so not too big of a problem.
Downstairs bathroom has newer shower but they left the old nasty door. Clean that thing up!!!
Kitchen would be better with a few pot holders and real towels. It was hard to keep it clean with the cheapo paper towels. Also be nice to provide more ice trays since the freezer does not have an ice maker.
Install a porch light! I nearly fell in the water as we were checking in after dark!
Parking is tricky. Don't bring any more than one vehicle.
Overall assessment: decent for the price, easily accessible to the bridge to the island and good access for fishing.
This was an amazing place for my kids and I to get away. We were all catching fish and the view from the deck allows you to see both of the launch towers at Starbase!
Everything was very nice clean and comfortable. The A/C is a little loud but not too bad. Be careful if you bring a boat there is no trailer parking otherwise great place to stay very convenient for fishing.
The house was nice, but the living room couch and sofa are in need of replacing. The kitchen area was nice and well furnished. The master bedroom was nice and comfortable. The three floors were a bit of a challenge for us as we are in our 70s, but we managed climbing the two flights of stairs okay. Itâs easy access to shopping and SPI. Enjoyed the stay.
We liked the house, itâs location, being on the water, and the decks. The house was well supplied with pots and pans, towels, a full kitchen, washer and dryer.
Location is good and good amenities. Clean, well appointed 3 level condo and modern. The A/C was making a noise that made it hard to sleep so we turned it off. Lots of space but there were also lots of steps which was a tad inconvenient. The shower door in the lower level also leaked. But we would stay again.
Hade a great time at sailors dream. House was clean upon arrival. A lot to see and do right next door at SPI. Enjoyed fishing outback in the canal. House was big enough for our family of four. Only complaint was that the beds were not very comfortable and not enough blankets/comforters
Overall, the property was great! It was very clean and had plenty of space to spread out and was a short 5-10 min drive over the bridge from pretty much anywhere on the island. Communication with the host was also great.
