Overall, best location spot for this condo! With a very short distance to the beach area and made it so convenient for myself and my guests, they loved it! Condo clean and tidy and we all slept very comfortably thru out the entire wk stay. Our last visit to south padre was 25-30 yrs ago. This visit was wonderful! The island very clean, water cool & clean ; quite very relaxing under the sun .

The location was excellent - just across the street from the access to the beach. The place was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The keypad was not working so we used the manual key. The ice maker on the refrigerator was not working. The pool was relaxing. The neighbors across our unit were playing loud music the first night, and the aroma of pot was noticed every night of our stay from the neighbors across our unit.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Levy

Host profile image
I live in Austin, but I grew up close to South Padre Island. I LOVE being able to return, see my family and be at the beach. It's fun to host and share our condo.

Why they chose this property

I was looking for a newer condo with better construction than many of the condos I stayed in that were constructed in the 1970s and 1980s. It was constructed in 2006. The pool, very close access to the beach, and the intimate porches with lots of greenery and flowers made me feel this was the perfect place for our family.

What makes this property unique

Small dogs are allowed. High ceilings makes it feel even bigger than it is. Two reserved parking spaces.
