Annual October trip
We go to Padre every October for our annual family vacation. Decided to switch it up and try this condo out, it was perfect for what we needed! Only downfall was that the dryers in the wash room weren’t working (that’s the property’s deal though) other than that it was great and so affordable.

First time visiting the Island
Our stay was nice. The pool was clean and convenient from the bungalow beach house. Having a reserved parking spot was a plus. Communication with the property manager was great and instructions for Wi-Fi, check in and check out instructions were clear.

Great place for a romantic getaway
Perfect size for a romantic getaway. Facilities and pool area were clean and well maintained. Everything matched the on-line photos. Conveniently located by the beach, restaurants, and stores. We rented a golf cart and spent hours beachcombing. Had a wonderful time.

Cozy & Convenient
Even though the condo is small it has everything you may possibly need. It is so cozy that our two year old did not want to leave. The close proximity to the beach, parking, and heated pool were all a definite plus. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

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 cozy little place we call our condo cottage. We enjoy spending time with our family, traveling, and making memories.

Why they chose this property

We love that our place is ground level and that the beach is just a block away! The condo sits across the street from the club house, fitness room and pool so everything in convenient. This place feels like a little piece of heaven to us.

What makes this property unique

We are the owners and managers of this condo 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.
