This was our first time visiting South Padre Island. We had an amazing time and the host supplied extras for the beach. The property was clean and well taken care of and we felt at home with 5 people and 3 dogs.
They were absolutely amazing. The nicest hosts Iâve ever had the privilege of staying with. Made sure we were nice and comfortable, or if we needed anything. One of our dogs has major anxiety and started howling for a bit and they were so kind and patient with him. Everyone had a blast! Hopefully we come again soon.
We really enjoyed the second floor space with this amazing terrace. Our host was most gracious. The location was central and close to the supermarket and restaurants. When we got back to SPI, we will check and see if this property is available. Thank you!
Great pet friendly place for us and our hounds! We enjoyed being close to restaurants, shopping, gravity park and more! The air conditioning is amazing at the property was a huge perk for us Colorado folks!
This is a fantastic place for families and a fun time. We visited from Colorado but are Texas transplants. We would definitely rent this unit again. My family really loved our time in SPI. Thank you to the host. We will be back.
Great stay for our family of 5 and small maltipoo with easy checkin and had everything we needed!! Great outside patio and spacious rooms. Highly Recommend!!
We were a large crew with 4 kids and had a great stay. We had a private entrance and access to the entire upstairs and back yard. A spacious balcony and living area with a well stocked kitchen. The host was very easy to contact and quick to respond. Very accommodating :)
Thank you for helping make our trip to South Padre one to remember!
Amazing stay. Clean & homey. Everything we needed to enjoy our week. Property managers were prompt in responding although we never needed them for any problems. Our stay couldnât have been better
Chas was an excellent host. House was clean avd roomy. Perfect accommodations. Every time I needed something or wanted to ask a question Chas was right there. Couldnât have asked for more !!! Perfect location. FIVE STARS ALL WAY AROUND
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on SPI! The house was nice, and the balcony was a lovely spot to hang out and cook on the grill. Getting to the beach was a short 5-minute drive. I definitely would not walk there. It would have been nice to have a washer and dryer, which this property does not have. The host was super easy to communicate with. I recommend this VRBO property!
2nd stay at this property. It was just as great as the first time. Great location on quiet street that is a 15 min walk or short drive to two beach access points - one with parking, one without. Spacious setup. We had 2 adults, 2 elementay age kids, and 2 dogs - 55 and 71 lbs and didn't feel cramped or packed like sardines. Nice outside balcony with seating. Provide everything, including beach accessories: chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and some toys. We recommend booking for your SPI stay!
The Hofmeisters were beyond accommodating and courteous hosts. We also never even would have known they were inhabiting the other unit in the house if it wasnât prior knowledge. The back yard was beautiful and the patio was fun to sit on and listen to all the birds. We really appreciated being able to rent with 3 dogs. Itâs so hard to find places where that is allowed. We enjoyed the photo puzzles on one of the rainy days too. Would absolutely recommend!
Our family highly recommends this place to spend vacation at South Padre Island. We were here in June and spent almost two weeks with four kids. Everyone really enjoyed the location, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. AC works perfectly. The kitchen is fully equipped.
Chas is very friendly and helpful. He answered all our questions in details.
But there are only a couple of minor issues you have to take a count. The grill is almost at its end of life and the electric stovetop has some intermittent problems with heating elements. And that's it. Everything else was perfect.
We will definitely go back to the lodge in future.
Owners live on property. Saying that bc there was no where on vrbo that says that. Only found out once I went on owners website. This property is on 2nd floor and owners live underneath. My sons in the guest room said when owners would open the garage door it was very loud. I didnt hear it in the main room. There is also construction going on very close to the house right now they are redoing the street. Everything else was fine.
At first I was a little nervous when I found out that the host lives on the bottom floor because I get places from Vrbo for privacy. But we only saw them outside in passing like any other neighbor situation. They were really nice and we really enjoyed our stay.
The mosquitos in the back were HORRIBLE though. I do have welts all over from trying to hang out on the patio. They have a lot of stagnant water in tubs in their back yard.
Otherwise all was well. Clean beds, clean bathrooms. Great AC. Cable was a nice plus especially because in the afternoon the internet wasnât that great. Oh and they have beach toys and chairs that came in clutch for us! We also loved that they had a hose to rinse off with out front. All the way around the house was really nice. Beautiful. Comfortable. And a great place to stay.
Chas and his family are good people. Was a little nervous about having them downstairs from us especially with a mouthy beagle and an autistic son that screams at times. He constantly assured us that it was no problem. I even saw him and hisnfamily a few times in passing and they were nothing but polite. Now for the review.
The check in and check out was easy and painless. Communication with Chas was awesome. He was fast to reply and always upbeat. The location was great. Just far enough away from everything, but close enough at the same time. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. There multiple items were dirt upon arrival. The toaster oven in the kitchen, coffee maker, dirt and dog hair under the furniture, couch cushions, etc. There was also cockroaches that were seen scampering around outside. I understamd they they take care of this themselves, and it shows, but it was still a great place to stay and would stay again if we come down to SPI. Thanks Chas and family for a great visit.
Charles and Diane now share their time between managing their lovely rental property and taking care of their two sons. Quintin is 15 this Summer and his little brother Bodhi is 11. They love spending time with their children while tending the back yard & garden or tidying the house, or enjoying all the island has to offer.
