Wonderful Experience & Accommodations

This was our first use of VRBO and it exceeded our expectations. The condo was fantastic - beautifully appointed, attractive and complete in every regard. The location was ideal.-. a beautiful view of the beach and ocean, and conveniently located on South Padre Island. Instructions for getting there, and checking in and out were timely and easy to understqnd. Overall it was a wonderful experience. We are definitely considering returning.

Great location

It’s a great location. Sits on the beach. The condo faces the beach with a really nice, large balcony facing beach. We were able to sit and watch sunrise drinking our coffee. Condo is well equipped and clean. It is on 3rd floor with no elevator so need to be able to climb stairs but definitely worth every step. Host is easy to contact and reaches out to make sure all is well. Have booked again for next year. Older groups of people staying at property so very quiet. Nice pool, nice people to visit with and very pet friendly.

Great Sunrises

The condo is just as nice as it looks in the photos. We loved sitting out on the deck, especially for watching the sunrises. Being right across the street from the SPI Birding and Nature Center, and Turtle, Inc. was a plus, too. Beach access is really close and easy and the water was beautiful.

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.
