Overall, a great experience. The location is perfect- cross the street and you're on sand. The rental has everything you need. Owner of rental is responsive and super friendly. I cant express how wonderful this place is and how much my family enjoyed their stay here.
Excellent location, you just cross the street and walk to the beach! We had one issue with noisy neighbors into the middle of the night and the host was advised. I didnât except a response because of how late it was, but I did and the issue was resolved quickly. Great communication!! The place is as advertised.
The wife and I were extending our stay after a long family vacation. We came across this last minute deal and the host was gracious, the property clean, and overall a great experience. Might come back and grab both of the duplex units. The only drawback was the upstairs folks were heavy footed and seemed like they were on the move most of the night. Had a hard time sleeping with the constant thumps from the upstairs. Not something the host can control so overall we enjoyed our evening and left early that morning. Loved how close we were to the beach and it was a lovely space. I definitely would do this one again.
Simply the best vacation rental on South Padre Island
This is our second year staying at Leslie's place. The location is perfect, you're about 100 feet from the door to the beach, across one usually quiet street. There are numerous great restaruants here, but just down the block is Blackbeards, which we ate at twice. There is a golf cart rental across the street from Blackbeard's, so that's a convenient walk if you need one. The place is spacious, the kitchen is stocked, and there are abundant toys/boogie boards/folding chairs for the beach if you don't bring your own. Leslie was kind enough to call and let us know about the SpaceX launch, which was an awesome experience - we just had to step outside onto the wrap-around porch to see it.Check-in and out were dead simple.On a more personal note, my wife was involved in a collision halfway through our stay, when an uninsured man in a truck plowed into her at a stoplight from behind. Leslie was simply outstanding, checking in on us, helping us work with Brownsville Toyota, and very graciously allowing us to extend our stay by a day to give Toyota time to try and make the car drivable. She made an extremely difficult time less difficult, and her kindness will never be forgotten. As long as we are in Texas, and headed for SPI, we will always stay with her rental.
My cousin was coming to town for 2 nites and already booked a different condo for her family so my partner and myself and 1 additional friend stayed at the starfish . Our 2nd time staying in this unit. Very satisfied and perfect for our needs
