We had a lovely time at this property. Well stocked, thankful for the beach toys, chairs, wagon, etc. Pools were clean, but wish there was a grill on both sides of the property. We had to walk quite a way to grill, and the grills were large and wide open, so challenging to keep the heat in. Walking to the beach was a breeze and convenient. Thanks for allowing our family to stay!

Rosanna has a really amazing property, just steps off the beach. We communicated with her a few times, and she always got back to me really quickly. I was shocked at how pretty everything was! The apartment is nice! And includes so many extras like beach toys and pool towels and so much more. If I come to South Padre again, I would want to stay here. 10/10

We call ourselves Texas Vistas Vacation Rentals and hope to have you stay with us and decide which condo is your favorite :)!
