We love the overall location of this property with the bay in back and very close to the beach. The family enjoyed the dock on the backside for fishing and use of the outdoor grills for cooking meals. Only complaint I have was the bed was uncomfortable.

Enjoy the property and location just not to fond of the ones who live their full time. They make you feel uncomfortable in the pool and make you feel like you can't enjoy yourself because you have to be quiet or they complain.

The décor is very cute and the condo clean. Great having a washer/dryer and dishwasher. I highly recommend this condo for a family of four or less. Check-in and out was so easy. I would say the most convenient I have encountered over all the years we have been vacationing around Padre.

Great little place on a canal near the beach

This is a double row of condos with a pool in between and a dock on the canal at the end. The bedrooms are upstairs with kitchen/living room area downstairs. Shower/bath is downstairs as well. It is pretty close to the Michael J. Ellis beach--close enough for me to walk the dogs there in the mornings. It had everything we needed and the management is incredibly responsive and helpful. It is billed as pet friendly, but just be aware that any HOA rules that apply to pets are strictly enforced. You can also contact the management for other pet friendly properties.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check-in/check-out was easy breezy, property was clean and just as described, dog area was tiny, mattresses were very firm, a convenient short drive to beaches and restaurants, view of sunsets off the docks was beautiful, catch and release fishing was plentiful enough for the kids with proper bait (we used dead shrimp with much success but *again*we weren’t fishing for whoppers or anything, just fun for the kids), other comments about the “local” residents had us cautious but we kept to ourselves and were respectful and cleaned up after our dogs without letting them bark and we had no trouble with the residents. Overall, this was an excellent experience and would recommend!
