Thank you for opening up your condo. The view of the ocean was breath taking. We enjoyed the amenities in the closet on the beach. There was so much to do and see. I would recommend to everyone who stays here to rent a bike and ride it on the beach, what an experience.

The condo was perfect in every way! It was very clean and delightfully decorated. The bed was very comfortable with a great view of the Gulf. Watching the sunrise with Coffee on the balcony was a special treat. The kitchen was great also. Everything was top notch. Karen has thought of everything. The beach chairs, umbrella and wagon were also very much appreciated. Last, but not least is that Karen was extremely responsive and made sure that I had made it into the condo easily with very clear directions. She made the whole process very easyEverything went very smoothly. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

The view from the balcony was great. The condo is very clean, stuffed with everything you might need for cooking and beach. All appliances worked just fine. We liked the heated pool in the courtyard. The hostess is one of the best I had , and I used Virbo for years. Karen is easy-going, quick to respond and goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Smith

Host profile image
We enjoy coming to the Island to kick back and relax. Eveyone on the Island is so friendly. The beach is great. The restaurants have good food, entertainment, and great service.

Why they chose this property

We love being directly on the beach. The Tiki is as close to the beach as it gets without getting your feet wet. We also love the relaxed atmosphere on the island. There are shuttles available from both Brownsville and Harlingen airports, making for a convenient trip.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balcony are what sold us on this condo. You cannot get any closer to the water. We love to sit and watch the kiteboarders, the kids playing on the beach, and watching skydivers land on the beach next door.
