Bring your own boat, or book a charter from Danny B’s Fishing Charters -- located 280 feet away -- to experience some of the finest fishing on the Texas coast. The beach is also a 7-minute walk from your condo. Spend sunny days along the Gulf of Mexico building sandcastles, lounging on the shore, or swimming in the surf.

First time Winter Texan
My wife and I really enjoyed our month long stay in this property. The property is nice and big with two bedrooms and three bathrooms. We have been wintering in Florida and last year in Hawaii, but this year decided to try South Padre Island. We were not disappointed. We had a minor glitch at the beginning as we were checking in on a Sunday. There was supposed to be a packet with our parking passes and the key to the front door of the complex in a lock box by the office. When we got there there was no packet, however, after a couple of phone calls, a gentleman showed up within 15 minutes and gave us a key and our parking passes. The only other minor problem was the sliding glass door in the common area was broken on the track. It was very difficult to open and shut down. These little problems were offset by the great location by wonderful restaurants and bars. We spent almost every night down on the dock which is just a outside the back door overlooking to be and the beautiful sunsets. We have already signed up again for next year.

Marlin Arms fireworks blast.
We thought room was beautiful. The whole property is in a great location. Next to all the buzz on the bay. The only pain is the combo locks. Pool is clean. One burner on stove did not work and the toilets are extremely low flow. Alot of rust on side of refrigerator. All in all I would stay here again. Probably in november.

Property is older but clean. Definitely could use some basic maintenance. Views from pool are great. Close to everything. 4 blocks from beach. Overall a great value compared to staying at a hotel.

Great location and space
We chose this because of it's proximity to the bay and the surrounding restaurants and venues. It did not disappoint. The only issue we had was with the gate, however we figured out how to finally open it! It was a great stay and we will be looking forward to staying here again.

Nice place , refrigerator needs to be junked
Very nice place , we got there bad time . Cold snap in South Padre Texas . Power out 1st 3 days . The refrigerator was un usable smelled very bad ! Called Turnkey didn’t show up until Friday, said they cleaned it ! Still smelled of rotten fish ! Did not want to put are food in fridge! We went out to buy coolers and ice. Bought ice every day to keep food cold. Complained to turnkey to get reimbursed for coolers and ice ! If I was owner I would be embarrassed renting with bad fridge. Still not done. Want some money back !!

Bay Condo
This is a great condo. Perfect for 4. Bedrooms are roomy with private baths. It is on the 3rd floor, so if you don't mind stairs. There is an elevator and it works when someone hasn't flipped the held switch on the 2nd floor. The reason I can't give this condo a 5 star rating is the management company. Although responsive to all of our communications quickly, there were some issues that were not dealt with. When we arrived, there was a bedroom light that we were unable to turn on and the thermostat was blinking that it needed a new battery, and an outlet in the kitchen didn't work. We informed the management company, they came out and were told a maintenance person would come to fix but never did. We had batteries with us, so we changed them. The gate lock jammed one day and we couldn't get in, we texted and were asked if we were putting in the right number, we were, still jammed, said they would send someone and let us know, we went to Louie's to wait, don't know who fixed it. We loved the area so we extended our stay. On our original day of departure, we went to the beach, upon our return to the condo, we were unable to enter, the door lock code had changed. We weren't notified of this change. When we reached out to the management company, they gave us a new code, didn't work. Several attempts at new codes didn't work, we were very frustrated, and wet from the beach and decided to wait out our time at Louie's until they could get us in the condo. After over an hour, we were told we could get in with a new code. We went back to the condo and no. They informed us that they would have the local home care team contact us. Now we had 2 people texting us numbers to try. None worked. At this point we were frustrated and wanted to talk to someone. We tried to call but our anticipated wait time was long. So we texted and said that we wanted to speak to a person. When they called us the individual said he would be over with a key. He showed up 15 minutes later. When we explained the situation and all that had transpired, we were given excuses as to why it was not his fault. To be fair in my review, this condo really is great, but there are some issues. 1 burner on the stove doesn't work, 2 outlets in the kitchen don't work, in the west bedroom you can only turn on one lamp and there is no where to plug in charges in this bedroom. The showers in the private baths are small. If the outlet in living room doesn't work, turn the light switch on, it will then.

Good Value But Beware
Elevator to 3d floor did not work, so it's a walk up. Pool is nasty with mold and mildew and stagnant water. Fridge in the condo smelled of fish so we couldn't use the fridge or freezer and had to go get coolers to keep our stuff cold. Unit was not maintained as towel rods were missing and on the floor, vacuuming was incomplete and cigars were left on the balcony. Not a nice experience.
