Holiday stay

My family and I spent our holiday vacation at your golf side gathering place. The home was everything we hoped it would be. Accommodations were great and suited the 13 of us very well. We would definitely consider booking this home again in the future. Thank you.

Best Equipped Beach House!

My family of 16 stayed loved every moment of this beach house. It had everything we needed and more! Our toddlers had fun with beach/pool toys, the adults loved the pool/football table and darts. Our family enjoyed the heated pool and the different amenities. The hosts were very communicative throughout the whole booking. We will definitely stay at this beach house again!

Excellent House!

We had a group of people 11 people there this past week, and a a dog. This house hit every mark and need we were looking for in a house. It’s not the first time we have gone to SPI with such a large group, but every house before this one had some issue or another. This house was beyond words perfect! The owners were very responsive and quick to get back to me anytime I had a question. We have already decided we are going next year and staying there again.

Awesome house for groups

This house is great for a large family or groups of friends. We were 4 families that stayed in the house. The kids had great fun in the game room. The WiFi worked wonderfully especially with EVERYONE on their devices. The pool was small for us but we were just grateful to have this great house with a pool. We all agree that this house was AWESOME.

Best Mother’s Day retreat ever! Felt like “Home!”

The house is huge!… it takes some getting use to the stairs and the little step ups/downs. Having a bathroom outside was helpful for relaxing by the pool. The Game room was a nice addition considering we had some rainy nights we were well entertained The umbrellas provided the perfect amount of shade over the pool . Very quiet street and quiet neighbors ! Will definitely be back again!!! So hard to leave!

Great house!

The amenities and location were great! The house had everything we needed. Only disappointment was the floor in the basement was dirty. We were very intentional about removing shoes in the garage yet our feet were visibly dirty when walking on basement floor and there were a few pieces of food stuck to the floor. I took pictures of food and dirty feet to share with the owner but I contacted them, they said it had been cleaned. Didn't seem worth my time to argue so we let it go. It's a pretty significant cleaning fee so I had higher expectations.

Great stay

Really nice place. Clean and well stocked with what you need to prepare food. Close to the beach. The only issue we had was that when I booked the location several months ago, I confirmed with whoever runs the property that the pool was definitely able to be heated. When we arrived I checked the pool and it was cold. When we tried to turn on the heater it was broken. A pool guy was not able to come out until the next day. When he did come out he informed me that the heater was broken and he didn’t have any parts to fix it and if he did get the parts he wouldn’t be able to come back out for several days. Our stay was pretty much over when he would be able to come out. Needless to say though we did try and use the pool it was uncomfortably cold. We were all disappointed we didn’t get to use it more. The only question I have is shouldn’t the pool heater been fixed before our arrival? I was told it was heated. Anyway despite the pool issues we had a great time at this home.

One of the best rental's we've ever stayed in!

I've stayed in many rentals all over the country and I have to say, this rental home might be the best. I had high expectations just based on the reviews but this exceeded them. First off, my mom and I are clean freaks/germophobes and we were amazed at how clean the entire home was. Everything down to the baseboards, windowsills, and the platforms that the mattresses are on didnt have a speck of dust or dirt on them. Even the garage was spotless! Secondly, the surplus of beach chairs, 2 beach wagons, coolers, an umbrella, and an endless amount of beach/sand toys made our stay so much less of a hassle that we didnt have to bring any of that ourselves. The home was so big, all of the beds were so comfortable, the game room was so much fun to hang out in, and the pool was so much fun for night swims after the beach. We had one very minor issue with the tv and it was resolved immediately after I texted one of the reps. Other than that everything was perfect, no one in our group of 10 had a single complaint. We already agreed that when we go back to Padre, this is where we are staying! You can tell the owners of the property really care about their place and their visitors.

Thanksgiving w/ the Family on the Island

This is one of the best rentals on the island! My wife and I have been coming to the island for a week in the summer and a week at Thanksgiving since 2011 and we have stayed in hotels, condos and private homes from Los Corales to the Sapphire. In all our trips, this was our best experience. The home was immaculately clean, and so well appointed/supplied that we did not need most of the items we typically bring. The kitchen had every utensil, pot, pan, mixing bowl, rice cooker, indoor grill, and everything you could need. It was high quality too, like what you would use at home and not usually supplied in a rental. The attention to detail was noticeable. We’ve stayed at places with game rooms before where the pool table was missing balls or the cues did not have tips or other items were missing rendering the amenities unusable and disappointing. Not here! Everything was ready for us in pristine condition and there was even a fresh piece of chalk for the dart scoreboard. There were so many beach chairs and other items supplied for us in the well organized garage that you could really accommodate everyone in your group. Wagons were supplied to carry your items the short way to the beach access conveniently located a few steps down the street. Finally, the owners and property managers were solicitous, welcoming and went out of their way to make sure everything was the way we wanted. Beautiful clean house with comfortable beds. Can’t say enough!

Birthday Weekend Getaway

We stayed at this house for a milestone weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better place! It was the perfect fit for our group of 14 people and 3 dogs—spacious, comfortable, and incredibly well-equipped. The game room was a great bonus and came in handy on the one rainy day we had. The rest of the time, we spent enjoying the pool, which was a huge hit, especially with the unique and stylish umbrellas providing plenty of shade. Everything about the home made it easy to relax and celebrate. Highly recommend!

This place is even better than the photos! It is clean, updated, and fun for anyone! We have a large family (8 kids ages 11 to 21) and everyone enjoyed the space. The pool was great for those that didn't want to be at the beach and the beach was so incredibly close. Probably a 5 minut
