Our family has vacationed, every year, in South Padre for the last 40 years. Now, I take my own children. Our extended family, as well as my own family, stayed at this property exactly 5 years ago. Back then, it was rented through the owner and not a rental company. Well, we could definitely tell the difference. The property, back then, was much cleaner, much more comfortable, kitchen was much more well stocked and so much more. I could go on and on. Don't get me wrong, it was a decent stay but I defintely would not return to book this property. The sheets were of very poor quality. The bedspread felt like it hadn't been washed in some of the rooms, the kitchen had other people's leftover spices, opened syrups, pancake mixes, which we thought was gross. I know I wouldn't want to use and/or serve a stranger's opened food to my family. We basically brought our own. The AC was an issue from day one. Upstairs, it was so terribly hot and stuffy. We couldn't touch the thermostat to a certain degree or else it would freeze. Thank goodness we brought our own fan. The blender was horrific, we had to ask for a new one. No drawer space or closet space in the 3rd floor. Our family had to live out of a suitcase. Pool was small and the whole week we were there, we never saw anyone come to clean it. Couches need to be cleaned. They are VERY well worn down and could use replacing. Overall, it was a short walk to the beach which is what we loved the most. Thank you for a decent stay, it just was a ton better when the owner oversaw it.
