Great spacious private property that we could bring our dogs to! Hot water in the showers took a minute to warm up, and saw some critters in the upstairs shower. Good amount of cook and dish-ware in the kitchen, only thing missing was pot holders! Would’ve loved a cookie sheet too

Ammenities were stocked very low and when I brought up the need for some items I was basically scolded for not bringing it up in a previous correspondence, like it is my fault we needed something. I was actually asked by the host why I didn't bring it up earlier, like I should have taken inventory of everything and done their job to know we had needed items like toilet paper and paper towels, which were never provided even though we were begrudgingly told they would "try" to get us some. Never got them.The pool was so cloudy we were not comfortable using it for at least two days of our stay. They did send pool people to adjust chemicals or clean it twice, but the pool was nevertheless pretty cloudy often and too cloudy to use a couple times--so much so you wouldn't be able to see someone laying on the bottom of the pool.The site has a grill smoker, but provided no smoking pellets to make it work.Shortly after accessing the property I reported a broken lamp that was just laying on a nightstand, and a towel rod that was near falling out of the wall on one end. Regariding the towel rod, a repair person showed up a week later into our stay totally unannounced. I let him take pictures but said then wasn't a good time as we were all leaving momentarily. All the ceiling fans are on remotes, but there was none for one of the bedrooms, which I reported but the host provides no remedy to operate the fan properly.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your stay did not meet expectations. We followed up with the owner, who would like to address the following:
- A starter supply of essentials is provided at the beginning of each stay based on the number of guests. We regret any miscommunication regarding restocking and will review how this is communicated to ensure expectations are clear.
- The pool clarity was impacted by weather conditions during your stay; however, the local team arranged additional service visits to address this as quickly as possible.
- The grill is available for guest use, though fuel or smoking pellets are not guaranteed to be provided, and guests may need to supply these items.
- Maintenance items reported during your stay have since been addressed, and we apologize for the timing of the visit, as advance notice was intended to be provided.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience for future guests.
Wonderful beach vacation home! Very clean and so convenient to beach access. My only complaints and I didn't detract my rsting for these as they are silly things but the upstairs shower is either scalding hot or freezing cold there is no inbetween or I wasn't able to figure it out hahaThe thermostat we tried to keep it where they asked but if u so much as touch it ...it goes wild the touch setting is so sensitive we gave up on it lolThat being said this place is perfect gor a family or group of friends..7 min or less walk to beach...nice pool and tons of space the guest contact is super responsive to any and all issues!Highly recommend!

From the owner: "Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing our beach vacation home! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, convenient beach access, pool, and spacious accommodations, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness and your high recommendation!We’re sorry for the trouble you experienced with the upstairs shower. Our plumber has since conducted thorough testing and resolved a low-pressure issue that was causing the geyser to turn off, resulting in inconsistent water temperatures. The problem has been permanently fixed, ensuring a comfortable shower experience moving forward.Regarding the Google Thermostat, we apologize for the difficulty with its sensitive touch settings. It is fully functional, but we understand it can be tricky to adjust. To make things easier for future guests, we’re adding a concise guide on how to operate it effectively.We’re so glad you found the home perfect for your family or group and enjoyed the quick walk to the beach."
Property was as described on VRBO. Property management was very attentive. The location of the property is very close to the beach.

Everything was PERFECT! Exactly as pictured, clean house, bathrooms, clean pool and with it being heated made it totally amazing, quiet neighborhood, close to everything, including shopping, and the beach -- so very close! We were a group of 3 teenagers and the grandma (me) -- to celebrate my granddaughter's 16th golden birthday! This place was the BEST place EVER!I will go here again on spring break (end of March) in 2026 with all 4 grandkids -- Thanks for having an awesome place! Check-in easy, communication was awesome and the electric Ninja grill cooked our steaks, burgers and chicken to perfection.

Our Stay Thanksgiving 2024
We have been to South Padre every year for 6 years and this is the cleanest place of all places we stayed with the exception of the pool, which was very cloudy and dirty. The goodie basket was nice and the kitchen was well stocked with all things needed to cook. The master bath upstairs had no hot water but for a few seconds and was not usable for anything but brushing your teeth, very disappointing!
