Disappointed

Big disappointment from the moment we walked in. The wet moldy smell as you walk in and the first floor bathroom smells like urine perhaps from the old toilet. I would put Clorox toilet bowl cleaner and it would help a bit. My husband & I left Sunday afternoon because of the smell. Unit is cute, just didn’t feel clean kinda yucky

Great property!

We love this property and unit. It is just across from the heated pool, which is very heated, as we were there when the temps were in the 50's and it felt great! The unit itself fits our family of 5 perfectly and everything was clean and they give you plenty of toiletries, at least for our stay! Alene is great to connect with and fast at responding!

Stay at Starfish Haven

Our time at Starfish Haven was exactly what we imagined. Adorable condo, perfect for our little family getaway. The space was clean, beachfully decorated, but not over the top. The owner thought of everything! Pool is just a few steps from the generous front porch, and parking is literally 15 steps from the front door. It doesn't get any better! Hope to rent this place again next year!

great location, not so great smell

Let me start by saying the booking process was so easy and fast. I didn’t have any problems finding it and everyone around there was super nice. The first thing that hit us when we walked through the door, was mold. Which kind of shocked us because the place looked very clean and kept up with. No signs of any kind of most visible to us, but it reeked of it. We opened the downstairs window and put a fan blowing out, as well as opened the door upstairs and put another fan blowing out. It didn’t help though. We literally slept with the covers over our heads because it was giving us all headaches. We even went to the store and got sprays(also didn’t do much). The beds were super comfortable. The couches and pillows looked like they needed a good cleaning. Overall, could have been worse but could have been better. I definitely wouldn’t book again and this location just off of the mold smell.

Fun place to stay for two families

The house is nice and accommodating. Host is very responsive. It worked out great for 3 couples with children. Close to the pool. The pool was spacious but a little dirty and murky, but there were quite a bit of people in and out of it. The parking is around the corner and not visible from the house. With that being said we had a bunch of stuff stolen from our vehicle while we were sleeping.

This condo was in a great area, close to the beach whereby one could walk, drive or rent a golf cart. The two pool areas on-site provided a second water option and we used them often! The condo itself was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Alene Snodgrass

Host profile image
Padre Island became a memorable place for me when I was growing up. For my birthday each year, my dad would bring us to the beach for three to four days. After marrying and moving around with the US Coast Guard for 23 years, my husband and I now live 50 minutes away from this special place. Although it is close, sometimes it still feels too far from the quiet of the beach and this amazing town home. We enjoy spending time with our family, traveling, and making memories.

Why they chose this property

We love that our place is pool side and that the beach is just a block away! This place feels like a little piece of heaven to us. It's easy to feel like your at a tropical resort with the amazing pool and courtyard.

What makes this property unique

We are the owners and managers of this home and two others on the island. When you need something, you get us directly. No waiting on a third party to respond. We truly value that you have chosen to stay with us and hope that is conveyed in the way we respond to your needs to make your vacation the best ever.
