First time, will come back
The condo was great where we stayed the views of the island were wonderful the access to the beach was great right outside the back of the condo by the pool. The bus on the island took you anywhere but it is really walkable right across a couple little streets were some really great bars. We are definitely looking forward to coming back

Almost perfect
Lovely room with pretty much anything you'd need. Felt very homey in all aspects and everything was clean and fully functional. Staff was very helpful and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. If I have to nitpick what would have made the stay perfect would have been a beach side view (you get to see the bay and all the nightlife though) and a taller shower head. Tiny details, I know, other than that, my family absolutely loved it and we made great memories.

Thank You !!!
The owner was very friendly and quick to respond. The interior artwork was something u won't see in a hotel. The apartment is located in a prime area - close to everything - food, fun, and parties.

You get what you pay for
Would’ve been a nice stay with great views, but the condo had issues- smelled musty probably due to the “cleaning closet” we discovered that smelled of mold and was completely disgusting. I was going to take a photo of it before we left, but it was LOCKED! So someone came into the condo while we were out- completely unnerving! The fridge had gunk on the outside. All of the linens, towels, bath mats, and pillows has to be at least 20 years old. Not very well cleaned- the shelves in the bathroom were caked in dust, and the air vents on the ceilings had dirt all around them. If you must, take your own pillows and plan for a back ache on the old mattresses. Our first and last time there.

I am so very sorry that your stay was not good. I would have been happy to work with you if you had reached out to me. The closet in the hallway is always locked because it is not accessible for renters. Our linens are certainly not that old and we are sorry that you thought so. As to the cleanliness I will certainly take this up with our cleaning people. Our listing shows the views from the balcony so that renters can see that it is not full beach view. Again I am sorry that you felt your stay was bad.

Affordable and Wonderful location
Such a beautiful place! This was me and my fiancé’s first time visiting South Padre and I could not be more satisfied that we were able to stay here! The condominium itself is gorgeous and the views are even better. You have everything you could ever need if you wanted to eat in as well as plenty of extra towels, blankets, and even fun stuff to take down the MINUTE walk down to the beach! And if the beach isn’t your forte there are so many fun shops and restaurants within walking distance. I definitely recommend and will be returning for our next trip :)

Great Stay! So close to the beach!
Cozy condo, perfect for my family of four; just a few feet away from the beach and if that's not your thing, the pool is warm and excellent. The apartment itself has all the necessities you would need for a weekend and theres enough space in the condo to have your own space. the balcony gives you a nice view of the island, and of Gravity Park.

Balcony view of my happy place.
This was our 5th winter on South Padre Island, but 1st time in a condo. The full kitchen and views from the balcony were what we needed to make our stay so wonderful. We saw beautiful sunsets over Laguna Madre, the amazingly colorful homes and businesses and traffic on the streets, and the Gulf of Mexica and beach, all from our balcony. The staff of the Aquarius Condominiums are the best. They are always working to keep guests safe and happy with their personal touch as well as maintaining it beautifully. Thanks to all of you for taking such good care of us. See you next winter!

Great condo, great vacation!
We loved this condo! The building, grounds, and pool were very nice and well maintained. The condo was clean and roomy enough for 2 adults and 3 teens. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the furnishings were clean and comfy. I had a mini panic when I saw the lack of bath towels, then found the stash in the master closet. We brought our own beach gear, so I didn't closely investigate the owner's supplies, but it appeared to have plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and toys. What made this condo special for us was the view. I was worried about not having a full, direct ocean view, but I shouldn't have. We had a good side-view of the beach, and a sweeping view of the bay and island. The balcony was hot in the afternoons (Texas in July), but once the sun starting setting, we watched the island start to light up. It was beautiful, and it became my favorite part of the day. I took 3 pics from the balcony standing in the same position, just turning my head. But I can't see where to upload them, sorry!

Wow! Thank you so much for you wonderful words. I see that we totally agree on the view from the balcony. We love to sit out there and watch the town come to life and all the people enjoying them selves. And don't even get me started on the sunsets. If you want to email the pictures to me I will be happy to upload them to our listing . We hope you will come back and stay with us again in the future. Deborah Blansett

Mini Honeymoon
Since we had to cancel our honeymoon to Costa Rica, we decided to go for a weekend getaway to South Padre Island. We had a fabulous time. The condo was clean and cozy with great views of the harbor (I think that's what it's called) and sunset as well as a side view of the beach. It was located within walking distance of many restaurants and the beach was so clean and beautiful, just steps from the back door!!! The owner was very responsive and didn't seem irritated by the fact that I didn't read the instructions she took the time to send me. She was very helpful and answered every question very quickly. We didn't take many pictures, we were trying hard to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of every day stuff. But did capture this from the living room balcony.

We know it wasn't the honeymoon of your choice but we are happy that you were able to enjoy yourselves & disconnect. You will have to come back sometime to take more pictures.
