Beautiful home - great amenities
We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Harbor House. The home is exactly as described—spacious, clean, and well‑equipped for a comfortable beach getaway. The layout worked perfectly for our group, and having multiple bedrooms and bathrooms made everything easy. The location is peaceful and convenient, and the property felt very well cared for overall.
Everything was wonderful. Unbelievable price for the location and amenities. The stay had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. The grounds are absolutely beautiful.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Not as described
The listing of the house looked great on VRBO, but the pictures were not an accurate representation of the property. The main reason we picked this property was the heated pool and hot tub. I even reached out before we booked it to verify it was heated. We arrived and checked the pool and the water was very cold. The house had a musty smell like no one had been there for a while. We found a cockroach in the staircase, the patio furniture was full of bird poop. This house did not meet our expectations. We worked with the property management company and VRBO to get a refund. We ended up booking a different house. VRBO was very helpful though this whole situation, they help us get the refund from the property management company. I would not recommend this property.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 April 2025
Dear John,
I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your review, as it allows future guests to understand the context of your experience and hopefully shift your perspective towards a more positive outlook. It is important to note that you were the very first guest in this property, which had only recently been acquired by the owner about four weeks prior to your stay. The owner was informed that the pool was heated, but unfortunately, the pool service did not verify the status of the gas tank. We promptly addressed this issue as soon as we received your complaint.
Additionally, we ensured that the house underwent a thorough deep cleaning, including the patio area. Living near the beach, we occasionally encounter unexpected visits from birds; however, we have inspectors who meticulously check the property before each guest's arrival. They did not report any issues with bird droppings on the patio furniture. As this was a new listing in our short-term rental portfolio, the images displayed on the listing accurately represent the property you booked.
To further enhance your experience, we took the initiative to refund the full amount you paid, allowing you to enjoy your time elsewhere. Not everyone would have taken such a step, and I believe your review may stem from the expectations surrounding the heated pool that accompanies a property of this caliber. Thank you for your understanding!
I am an island person born and grew up in Puerto Rico. Marriage brought me to Dallas area but my body and soul always pulled me towards the ocean. I chose South Padre Island because the beaches and the ocean are the best of Texas.
Why they chose this property
The city of South Padre Island has many activities for all age groups. We wanted to be a part of this wonderful vacation spot where there’s deep sea and bay fishing, dolphin watch tours, and many other water activities. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants to choose from and nothing compares to the seafood of the Gulf of Mexico! Watching the amazing sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre Bay are a special treat! There’s always something to do here, no matter what time of the year. We hope you’ll come choose to stay in our relaxing “Little piece of South Padre Island”, down in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas!
