Pool, Beach, Repeat

JoseRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My son and I travelled to South Padre Island for SpaceX's Flight 7 and Jeff and Sibylle’s apartment was a great spot to visit the area. It was our first time so I appreciated Jeff's suggestions on options to eat and visit. The apartment is close to tons of stuff to do. Although my wife didn't come with us, I'm certain the apartment was up to her cleanliness standards. Jeff was a great host, very responsive to tons of questions I had about the area, and helped us book additional stay in the area since Flight 7 was postponed several times. Highly recommended.

Cora Lee Beach House w/Bay View and Private Pool!

MelissaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

My siblings, our families, and our parents— a total of 14, stayed in this beautiful house for 4 days & 3 nights; it was a perfect weekend. We absolutely loved it all. Plenty of room, we were comfortable, and the living room was a perfect size for us all. The swimming pool is nice and big, and still leaving the backyard with plenty of room for a cookout as well. We will definitely keep this house in mind for our next stay.

1/2 Block to beach Spacious 2300 sqft townhome

JosiahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The location is a short walk to the beach, it's the middle condo and we had no neighbors the majority of the stay so that was nice, the garage is large and they have some beach chairs and toys for kids in the garage, a few of the appliances were out of date, we communicated that with the host and was told the items would be addressed for future guests, overall it was a nice place with everything you'd need to enjoy a vacation on South Padre Island.

Casa de las Palmas ~ Relaxing ~ Pool ~ Sunsets

AmyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was our first adventure on South Padre! This is a great location for being able to have a quiet retreat after doing activities on the island. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen has all that you need. Patti has recommendations nearly daily based on the weather or requests. We did not utilize the pool much, but it is a lovely clean pool. Highly recommend driving north to the end of the road and enjoying the beach up there. Really enjoyed surfing with Gene and Astro. Had a nice walk on the jettie. Great food at F and B.

The truth I never met Horacio, but I received notifications to the attention of my stay. We had an issue with the bed and they resolved it right away. Everything was perfect. The apto looks newly remodeled. The only detail that would have improved is some drawer furniture from the top REC and the table in the room q are very b

Spacious 3 bedroom condo w/ a pool & great sunsets

BeverlyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

There were 5 of us and there was plenty of room. Nice pool and hot tube. Definitely would stay here again. I had a couple of questions before we actually got there, and Carlos was fast to respond. I guess if I "had to" complain about anything it was when getting in the gate it is awkward to get to the keypad and had to get out of my car. Not that big of deal and not Carlos' fault. Thank You Beverly

ChipRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great location, short walk to beach, near some of our favorite restaurants and the IGA grocery. Great for our dog with the fenced-in backyard. Roomy and spacious - the kids cove is not something we needed but would be great for families with young ones. We really enjoyed our stay!

Stunning SpaceX Views @ Sapphire 2605

ChristineRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Loved our stay here. Sylvia & Rey sent multiple messages from warnings about possible traffic, to reminders upon check in & their favorite restaurants/spots. They had a wagon cart to use for luggage & the beach, as well as plenty of beach towels. Kitchen was very nice & Keurig a plus (we always travel with our own Kpods) vs traditional maker. This was our first time in a high rise condo (we normally stay in a house rental) & we loved the balcony. Great ocean side breeze, no mosquitoes reach you on 26th floor & we could enjoy the live music at Margaritaville. (But you can’t hear the music inside the condo for those worried about that.) My 16 y/o & his friend loved the game room at night for pool & foosball. We didn’t use the theater room but if we had a longer stay we would have. It was so cool! Had an issue with our key cards not working but that was the front desk not programming the right check out date. All in all we would definitely stay here again!
