Manuel, thank you for your fantastic review. We hope you will come back often. It is so nice to have guests like you. We try to keep our beachhouse in great shape for our guests. Again the time you have taken for your review is very appreciated. Judy😊
This is a great beach house that my family enjoyed. The beach was close by and the pool was so relaxing. Communication with our host was fast and reliable. We really, really enjoyed our time there and plan to stay again.
Amazing property with a very communicative owner! I would recommend this stay to anyone!

Andrew, thank you for your fantastic review. Please put Gardenia Villa on your list for a return stay. We enjoyed having you and are happy you had a fun time on South Padre Island, Texas. Have a safe trip home and stay in touch!

We had an amazing stay! The house was perfect for our family, with plenty of space for me, my wife, and our three kids. The pool was a big highlight—our kids couldn’t get enough of it! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and the location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach. The host was super responsive and helpful. We can’t wait to come back!
Overall Nice property. If anything would need "improving" it would be the little shower outside to wash off the ocean. A little more pressure or new nozzle would help. Also, interesting that the only way to get between the floors is outside. No biggy, just different. Had a great time and location to beach is a plus.
Amazing! We are already planning next years trip and will definitely stay here !!!

Hi Michelle. Thank you for taking the time to leave a fantastic review. Guests enjoy the house as it has the private pool and jacuzzi. Of course, being just steps from the beach is nice.
I’m thrilled that you want to return. Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you for your next trip.

Bruce: Thank you for taking the time to review the Gardenia Beach House. The location to the beach has been very popular with guests. Just a few steps away! Hope on your return you will make my home your home on a regular basis. Thanks again, Judy
Really good time and was in a perfect spot right across the road from the beach. Beds are comfortable and enough space for all the children. Loved the back porch.
Jackie, thank you for the nice review. I am so appreciative of your return visits. The swimming pool is such a great attraction as well as being just a few steps from the beach. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. Judy
Kelly , thank you so much for spending the holiday at my Gardenia Breach House. I appreciate you taking the time to review your stay. It is convenient to the beach and the heated pool is a plus. I hope you will come back soon. Thanks again, Judy.

Great vacation home
Property was fantastic, great location. Owner involvement in making things right was top notch and unexpected. Management company was a phone call away if needed.

Thank you Tom for your great review. I appreciate the kind things you had to say. Having four bathrooms is really a great advantage. The outdoor shower doesn't hurt either. It is definitely fun having families together. Ir is also fun having a large enough space as well as being just a few steps from the beach. Thank you again and hope to see you next year. Thanks again, Judy.
We had a wonderful stay at this house! It's just steps from the beach, which made it incredibly convenient for quick trips back and forth. The private pool was a huge bonus—especially during the rainy days between showers. It gave the kids a fun way to stay entertained without dealing with the hassle of setting up the shade tent in the wind. Overall, this is a great option for families visiting South Padre!
The place is a little old and run-down, but they've clearly done some work on it (the upstairs showers have been recently redone, for instance) and it's clean and usable. The pool is wonderful, and the location can't be beat. Good stay overall for a large group, including everyone from a toddler to kids to teens to adults to a senior citizen and a couple of dogs.

Katie, thank you so much for taking the time to review the beach house,. The house is definitely an original. It was built in 1977 and is a great representation of the Island. We want to keep it just as inviting as possible. In fact, today, we have just finished power washing all outside furniture, patios, side walkways, etc. I appreciate you staying with us and hope you return soon. Our pool and the close proximity to the beach are two great amenities.. Thanks again and hurry back, Judy
The house was clean, the pool was perfect, we were able to use it even when it was cold outside. I really loved the towel exchange service, which supplied anything needed. For the house ( clean towels, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, toilet paper,, clean linens, ex). The hour is very spacious. Our host was very prompt in answering any questions.

Fun property. Close to beach. The owner is very helpful.
The property is in a great location. The pool and hot tub make this house even better. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the pool and she helped resolve it quickly and satisfactorily. This was a great week in South Padre.

Jason, thank you for your review. It was great to have you and your family as guests. I couldn't have asked for a nicer group. I love the house for its location. You are steps from the beach and yet you have your own private pool and spa. I hope you were able to take advantage of all of the great activities of the Island as well as the restaurants. Everything is so close and the free travel "the Wave" is such an advantage for guests who do not have a car. Please come back again. There is a discount for return guests. Thanks again. Judy

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Fix patio door lock on first floor, update 1st floor, put more privacy fence around pool
We had a wonderful time at this property! It was perfect for us, with two full apartments in the two-story home. We enjoyed the backyard with the swimming pool, however, we could not get the Jacuzzi to work. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to cook. Thank you very much for a wonderful memory.
Wonderful location right across the street from the beach. Two kitchens and living areas very helpful for multiple families. Wish there was a table though. Only a long bar upstairs which worked especially for cooking and serving. Hot Tub is fun too!!

Thank you Barbara for such a wonderful review. The beach house location is great. I am looking into getting a large dining table. Since the house supports 12-14 guests, the choice is challenging. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Judy
