Great location and amenities!

This place has all you ever need on vacation. Very clean, location is great for quick access to pier fishing and the beach. Loved the ice machine! We didn't have to go get ice once. Lots of kitchen amenities for those that cook on vacation. We will definitely be back.

Great location and lot's of fun

My wife and I took our 4 kids ages 8-18 for a week in June. Very close to the beach, great pool area with slides, and a fun game room. We had so much fun, and would highly recommend to anyone considering this property to go for it! We loved the access from the back patio to Lake Padre and my boys spent hours out there fishing every day.

All in all we had a great time.

Great Location

This is an end unit, right next to the pool. Unit is very nice. 3 bedrooms upstairs. 3 bathrooms, living room & kitchen. Well stocked kitchen. The whole complex is investment property so it either really busy during certain times or empty like it was for us. Love this location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great, the condo is exactly as pictured and great but:The cooking pots and pans were horrible, there were more scratches in the pans than teflon coating. Unusable.Slight indication of cigarette smoke on arrival. Really noticed the odor in all our clothes when we unpacked. If neither of these bother you then this place is great! Wonderful location and furniture

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this location! It was clean and comfortable. My kids loved the pool. Easy distance to the beach. Views were beautiful. The pool is pretty loud and your balcony is right next to your neighbor without a full divider on the bottom deck. We didn't mind either, but if you are looking for a quiet place this may not be the place for you. Security comes and kicks everyone out of the pool about 1030-11pm.

Corpus

This was our 2nd time staying at this particular property. The weather was not so good, but we made the best of it. The proximity to the beach is great. We did have some loud neighbors right next to us and it would have been great if the deck area was more private like it is on the 2nd floor. It may not be allowed at this community, but it does make it very uncomfortable when you are outside eating or hanging out when your neighbor is right there. This maybe our deciding factor for checking out a few other places next time.

Great Location & Community!

The location of the townhouse was great, both within the community and on the island. We loved all of the family activities this property offered. House was very nice with a great A/C (always a must during the hot Texas summers). Had a few maintenance issues that were addressed promptly by the management company. Biggest complaint we had was overall cleanliness of the property. House appeared clean on the surface but the floors were very dirty (left your feet dark and found fishing line in multiple places) and we found evidence that other surfaces had not been cleaned very well. We brought the cleanliness up to the management company but it was not addressed during our stay. Overall we loved staying here, just needs to be cleaned better to get a 5 star review.

This place was pretty great. Great location on the water, pool right next door and very short distance to the beach. Had great amenities in the house. Small suggestion, add a few hangers in the closets. Overall, we had an amazing time and looking forward to booking this place again in the near future.

Great Vacation Spot

A very clean, bright, new, and comfortable accommodation. Location of the townhome is perfect, the awesome pool is right next door. My grandkids loved swimming and the slides were a huge hit. Fishing off the docks right out the back deck was also huge hit with my grandkids and the adults as well. The town home accommodated all 11 of us very nicely. The whole area was very family oriented ; nice neighbors. You certainly will not be disappointed if you stay here. My older daughter is very picky and she couldn’t find one thing wrong with the place, which I definitely pointed out to her😀 Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Excellent Location

This is the nicest property we have stayed in. Location, end unit, pool right out the door and pet friendly. It is well stocked and cozy. We didnt cook or eat in so how stocked I dont know. (Its own ice machine is a bonus) But reviews that complain about a missing this or that are being over reviewed. TV in every room, a video game in one room. Walk out back door onto a deck right on the water, Master bedroom has its own deck, it does need a chair or two up there but the view is beautiful overlooking the water. Looking forward to another stay at this property. I will note one thing and that is we missed the area springbreak so it was very quiet, and no crowds everywhere we went. Excellent Place to stay. Also one last thing, the beds are very comfortable, great sleeping.
