We had a great stay at this South Padre Island condo! The unit was clean, just as described, and had everything we needed. The beach view was beautiful, and the location couldnât have been better. The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. Highly recommend. Great getaway spot.
This stay was amazing. From the communication with the host to the beautiful sunrise view, there isnât a single complaint we have. It was clean and the pictures are an accurate depiction of the unit. The access to the pool and beach was our favorite feature. Weâve stayed on the island before but this is a true gem, we look forward to getting the opportunity to stay here again!
Great location! The host was very responsive when we had an issue, and did their best to make it right. Would go back. Felt very much like a home rather than a bare bones rental.
Perfect size for the 5 of us. Very cute lil condo. Mrs Lori was the best!!! Very helpful, friendly & super accommodating!!! Will definitely come back!!!
My Granddaughter and I stayed a week at this condo in August and it was just lovely. It was small but very cute and cozy. We had ocean front views and had easy access to the beach. The owner Lori was very nice and kept in contact with me if I had any questions. I would recommend this condo.
Paula was excellent and even called us when we were parked in the wrong area and could have been towed. Amazing views and updated everything. Could not have asked for a better trip and temporary beach town. Thanks so much
This was a great little place right on the beach. I would not stay here with more than 3-4 people. Kitchen was clean and had things you need. Right next to beach.
Con: the bed sinks in the middle so you are always rolling center. The futon is hard as are all chairs. Really no where comfortable to sit or sleep in the place. Other than that everything as expected.
This property sits right on the beach, and just over the pool. It was close to the elevator, and there are carts to help transport items from the vehicle. Being pet friendly we were weary, but it was super clean! Our dogs loved it too, even the balcony. Paula has thought of do much,, including beach chairs, umbrellas,, and towels. We will definitely consider staying here again.
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay in this quaint condo. It was just enough room for us to rest and relax from a long day at the beach. Beds were comfy, view was amazing, and the walk to the beach was very short. Our kids also enjoyed the pool when we were not on the beach.
Paula provides an adequate supply of kitchen gadgets to fix your favorite family meal. Bring an extra roll or two of paper towels and enough drinking water along with your favorite snacks and food and youâll be set for the week in this home away from home!
We've been coming to S Padre for 30+ years and have stayed at so many different places. We donât often stay in condos and can rarely find beachfront options because have a furry kid (dog more than 20lbs.)
Loriâs place was a gem! Worth the extra to not have to lug our stuff and check tide charts. We are now spoiled because it was SO convenient.
AC was nice and cool, good insulation of the sliding glass doors, too. Shower water was hot and we never had issues with timing. WiFi was crazy fast. The bed was very comfortable.
Lori was excellent in her communication and very helpful with questions we had.
We will definitely return.
We had a great time. The location of this condo cannot be beat! Very easy get out to the beach. The beach area for condo is well maintained and clean.
The condo is well equipped and clean. We are a family of 3 and we also brought our Labrador with us. The condo was a good size for us, but may feel small to larger families. Only suggestion I would add is to build a ladder from the floor to the top bunk of the bunk beds. My 5 year old loved being up there, but we had to lift her up and down each time.
The owner is very welcoming and attentive to any issues that might arise. We would recommend this condo to anyone looking to travel to the SPI area.
Tip for future: Bring a lot of quarters. The laundry is coin operated machine and there is not a machine to change out bills on the property.
The condo was great! The oceanview was AMAZING! Had a great time walking by the beach every morning...food for the soul!
The condo is great for 2 people. More than that, it could be extremely crowded. I have two observations: 1) the front right burner of the stove doesn't work even. It starts giving a lot of heat but then it diminishes to the minimum and then restarts again. It makes it pretty difficult to cook because of the unevenness of the heat. 2) I don't know how anybody could sleep in the upper bunk bed. It doesn't have a ladder to climb or a barrier to protect if a child could sleep there and could easily fall during the night.
But overall, we had a wonderful time and would like to go again!
My husband and I manage the condo for our mother-in-law, who lives in Forth Worth and is 91 years old. She bought the condo more than 20 years ago and painted the mural in the bunkbed area and had the built-in columns and headboard done. She can no longer get to the beach, but we love to come and enjoy her special touches. We plan to spend a lot of time here once we retire, but right now we come as often as we can!
The Florence is all privately owned by individuals. This gives each unit a homey, cozy feel as the people who are renting to you love being here just as much as you do. Depending upon the time of year that you visit, your neighbors may be long-term renters from up north, or families taking their vacation during the summer break. Everyone looks out for one another.
The beach is literally right outside your back door. Walk through the parking garage, open the gate, and your toes are in the sand. It's an awesome place to stay.
