Best rental we have ever had!!

The host communicated early and greeted us with open arms!! If you are planning a trip to South Padre, I would highly suggest this property. It was home away from home. Close to public beach access so you do not need to worry about fining parking. Everything you will need to enjoy your vacation is here! Thank you to our host for making this the best experience ever!!!!! We look forward to renting this property again and again!!!

Family vacation

This place was amazing, especially for family reunions. Highly recommend. Jennifer the host was so easy to get along with. The pool canapy was perfect for after beach time, or for just hanging out at night. The unit has washer/dryer in garage for beach towels, also washer/dryer upstairs for other items. The overall experience was amazing. Will definitely rent here again. Restaurants: Our family loved The Meatball Cafe and Coffee - Books - Sandwich. If you drink coffee this is the place to go. Long lines, definitely worth the wait! Thank you so much Jennifer!! The Stone Family.

You always hold your breath when you get to a property/stay, but this one was exactly what it claimed to be. The owner was extremely helpful, thoughtful, and the entire process was a breeze. Short walking distance to the beach, and the house was exactly what we needed. Would absolutely stay here again.

Everything you need for an amazing South Padre trip

I’ve stayed at South Padre 3 other times and this property and all its amenities made this my favorite trip to South Padre by far. Beach was about a 7 minute walk from house to spot on sand at beach you can set up. The 4 bedrooms were all well equipped with everything as well great size and comfort with bedding. All beach equipment you would need including chairs, toys for kids, bodyboards for adults and kids, cooler, and inflatables for the pool area. Pool felt very private and was the perfect size to relax after the beach or just hang out all day. Great selection of classic movies on VHS and DVD, cable tv in every room as well great internet. Could not hear anything outside the house and can drown out any loud partying that might be going on nearby. Will definitely book again if we have enough people going with us.

Paradise in Padre!

Just had the greatest time in this amazing beach rental. You are at most 1 block walk from the beach access, has a great little pool in the backyard and amazing spaces inside. Our family of 5 had ample space to be together. There were plenty of games, beach/pool toys, movies et. al. for the kids to use. But most of all, this unit has maybe the nicest owners we have ever dealt with. We had significant travel issues getting down there and they were so gracious, flexible and thoughtful to us due to our scenario. They truly tried to make it feel like home. We loved our time and would absolutely 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a little slice of heaven on South Padre Island!

Even better than last year

Jen is an owner who genuinely cares about taking care of her property and her guests. I was already blown away by how nice it was from our stay last year, but this year we arrived to new, updated furniture in living room and a beautiful new dining room table. She takes so much pride in her rental property, which unfortunately isn't the case for so many others. We had a wonderful four month stay, and knew all of our needs would be taken care of, had there been any. I consider Mars to be my home-away-from-home, because that's how it feels. So cozy, and decorated so tastefully. Love hosting friends here, as they always feel as comfortable as we do. My husband and I feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful place to spend our winters. Thanks to Jen and Randy, and their generosity which is endless. Couldn't recommend this any more. I promise you will not be disappointed (except when you have to leave).

Great location for families

Even before checking in I was warmly welcomed by the owner. Check in procedure was smooth and the house is beautiful. We were a one minute walk from the beach but far enough away to avoid the crowds. Having a pool at the property made it that much more enjoyable. Owner also left a note book with notes on things to do and places to eat which made it very easy for our first visit to South Padre. Will definitely stay here on future visits.

Fantastic beach house!

The house is wonderful! It was spotless when we arrived and is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with every pot, pan or cooking device you would ever need - and there is a great selection of spices and condiments as well. All sorts of beach toys and beach chairs were available to use. The pool was fantastic and having it to ourselves just made the experience so much better. The walk to the beach is very short and convenient. Jennifer was very friendly and attentive. All in all this was our best trip to South Padre ever and we hope to be back next year!

This house was perfect! Close to the beach, had an outdoor shower, a personal pool, a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of beds. We were even able to bring our dogs! Having a garage was also nice to give us extra room for vehicles. Would absolutely stay here again. Jennifer is a great host and quite responsive.

We stayed at this beautiful property for a week, it was amazing. The house has everything you have at home and then some. Jennifer was an awesome host and helped us with anything we needed. Rental is located 5 min walk from the beach and decorated beautifully, which gives you that beach home feeling. Pool is a huge bonus for all and beds were clean and comfortable. We made awesome memories and would rebook in a heart beat. Very much appreciated Jennifer, blessings and wish y'all the best. Zavala family Fort Worth, Texas

Beyond Excellent!

The title says it all. We stayed here for four months, so I believe that qualifies our opinion as very accurate. It wasn’t a rental, it was a home. Of all properties we’ve rented over the last six years, this is by far the cleanest, most well cared for, most comfortable and best maintained property we’ve ever rented. Jennifer is genuinely concerned about her tenants’ comfort and it shows in every detail. Everything you need (and more) is included. If not, she immediately makes sure it is taken care of, and then follows up to make sure it’s done right. Oh my gosh, don’t even get me started on the adorable decor. After four months, I was still noticing little things that impressed me. We are definitely coming back and won’t ever bother to look for another place as long as we can rent from Jen! I know it may sound too good to be true, but this is truly an honest review.

Birth-weekend vacation!

My daughter and I traveled to SPI to celebrate both our birthdays. The house was so comfortable, very spacious, super clean, and had all the amenities we needed, plus more. Every morning we would get up and walk a very short distance down to the beach to watch the sun rise while we walked on the shore (the beach access is right down the road from the house, which was so convenient). We would then rinse off and take a swim in the covered pool and lounge around outside on the furniture... we even napped out there because it was so relaxing. We enjoyed spending time inside as well watching movies and playing board games. This place really did feel like a home away from home.
