Thank you for the 5 star review! We value our guests and are glad you shared your thoughts on your recent stay with us. We will let them know about the towels and kitchen items. We are glad you enjoyed the pool! We look forward to your return to the Island!
Everything was smooth. Our outdoor shower got stuck running and someone came and fixed it. We found a few ants and they came and sprayed. We left 2 beach chairs that we didn’t want just sitting at our house. I hope people will enjoy them! The people that stayed around us were so fun!

A bit wet
The condo was clean, comfortable, and neatly decorated. We did have an issue with water leaking through the downstairs ceiling. The owner sent a maintenance man to assess the water, but was unable to figure out where the water was coming from. We stopped using the bathtub above the leak after the leak first appeared, which left our party of 7 using one bathroom for the rest of the stay. Even without using the tub, the leak continued for the next 4 days that we were there, at times dripping on the kitchen counter.(YUCK!!!) The management provided us with extra towels to help clean up the puddles and promptly repaired a broken dryer belt.
Other than the water, the condo was fun. The large, open bottom floor was great for our family to hang out. The pool area was a bit lacking on furniture (maybe about 8 chairs, no loungers) but was clean and well maintained. There were a few neighbors that blatantly disregarded the 10pm quiet time, but everybody was friendly.
Great location. Great vibes. Just wish yhe cleaning crew did a better job before we arrived.

Super cute accommodation
Positives. Family centric spot, super cute accommodation. Plenty of room for the 5 of us and 2 goldens. A minor short walk to the beach. Close to the restaurants and store. Would recommend to familys with kids, pool is enclosed and central. If your kiddos can swim the pool is the best.
Negatives we had to call the office as we had no arrival instructions. Evidently there are tech problems if ur carrier is verizon. The floor was not clean we went out and bought cleaning stuff for it. After 2 moppings it was clean. The queen bed next to the bunk room had dirty sheets and pillowcases. There was clean linens in the closet so we changed the bed. Our problems were minor and easily solved.
Check in process was easy and fast, condo was well stocked with linens, lots of space for our group, only missing a baking sheet, was able to communicate with front office easily, pool was nice, quiet little area. Overall great experience

The rental was nice, in a great location and ideal for a family. The only things I didn’t like was there was very little water pressure in the master bedroom shower, and there were some ome roaches. Other than that, I would definitely go again!
Perfect house for our family of 5. Had all the vibes of being present at the beach between decor and set up.

Hello Kenneth, We are glad you had a positive experience staying at the Commons, we wanted to add that we understand the temperature of the water was not to your liking, however, we did go over to your units several times to look at the temperature of the water that came in at 103 degrees, it can be pretty hot in South Texas and water heat levels were not to your liking, we did send out a local plumbing company to inspect the issue and left us with no hot water for a weekend, we ended up getting it replaced ourselves and offered a different place for you to stay that weekend at no cost to you and cheryl. We understand that you did not like the temperature of the water, but it was not cold water. Thanks, Life in Paradise

Pool pump area was extremely loud, pool temperature was very warm, was not notified there was construction going on, not enough parking on the weekend, smoke alarms chirping all night, fans not balanced and made a lot of noise when turned on, remote for tv in spare room did not work, towels/sheets were dry but stained and did not smell clean. Couch was covered in sand. The set up of the houses were very convenient for a large family, this could be an awesome place.

Overall experience was awesome. Townhouse is located half a mile from the beach entrance. Interior amenities and room layouts were great. No issues with the townhouse or its setup. Exterior did have some buildings under construction, with some areas taped off. I imagine once they are complete this property would be just perfect.
