well appointed comfortable condo
Very comfortable two bedroom, two bathroom condo. Excellent aircon, we had 85 degrees in the day time. A very short walk to the beach and a beach restaurant. Pool was just about swimmable in and the hot tub, once we worked out how to use it, was brilliant in just a few minutes. Being November it was very quiet but we could imagine it being very noisy in season with all 8 condos in action. We could hear the guy upstairs wandering about in the mornings. The Turtle and bird sanctuaries are five minutes by car up the island. Great supermarket a few blocks south.
There is every type of kitchen gadget, great washer/drier too. We were four adults and it was excellent. Perhaps there could be a hand book for how to work some of the electricals. There are loads of rules and regulations making us think the owner, Andrew, must have had some bad experiences. We had no problems.

Thank you so much for leaving the review. I do apologize for all the rules but I have to follow the association rules so I don't get fined and yes I've had some pretty bad people rent my condo for illegal purposes so I must be diligent plus all the nightmares I've read about from owners not being careful or specific enough so someone can't come along and decide to move into their property. Basically I just want everyone to be informed so they don't say I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to do that. I also think it keeps bad renters away. I actually had a guy tell me why else would he rent a condo but to have a big party at the island and if he couldn't party he'd rather stay somewhere else. My goal is for people just to have a great time at the beach and be very convenient for them. I just recently added a cart to carry your stuff to the beach so guests don't have to carry everything especially if they have young children who won't or can't help out. Just please rinse off the sand outside. I try to make sure my condo has everything so you don't have to go out and buy salt or sugar or coffee and spend a bunch of money for something youre only going to use once. I don't understand why people would rent a condo without a hair dryer or toilet paper or towels for that matter. I think the little things are what makes guests happy and your 100 percent happiness is my priority.

Think I'll be a "winter Texan"
Condo is well equipped and comfy. Pool and hot tub are small but serve the purpose of cooling down. Beach is 1 block, easy walk. Lots of restaurants & happy hours in walking distance. Gym 2 blocks away. Everything close by this well kept secret of an island.

Thanks for the positive review. I try to make my place as luxurious and comfortable as possible for my guests with Memory Foam mattresses, Stainless Steel Appliances and Flat Screen TVs in all the rooms. The nice thing is the Pool heats up faster that really large pools but is a good size for swimming comfortably.

Comfortable and convenient, terrific stay!
Well this was my first condo stay and it was definitely the way to go. I went with my 2 daughters(4 & 7) and my sister and her daughter(7). Looking for a hotel room proved disappointingly expensive for what we would need. Finding this 2 bedroom condo at the price we paid was truly an awesome find. I'll definitely be looking to repeat next year.
To help others out, I'll try to be thorough.
Location: It was near the Padre BLVD end of the block but really not that far a walk to the beach. For beach access, we used the Wanna Wanna bar access at the end of Polaris. This was very nice to have as a lot of other streets that dead end into Gulf Rd didn't look like they had beach access right there and you'd have to go further up or down to get to the beach. Speaking of Wanna Wanna, get the Turbo Pina Colada; Delicious. The Condo was also right across the street from a gas station for convenient ice, snacks, and drinks.
Only possible con here if it matters to you is that it's relatively far from most of the other "action" on Padre BLVD but that really didn't matter to me. BTW, I found the best prices on a lot of beach stuff at the big Mirage surf store. They all have the same crap but Mirage was like 2-3$ cheaper on boogie boards and buckets.
Inside the condo:
It was clean and well furnished. And having a full kitchen was really convenient. Saved a bunch of money cooking a few of our own meals. The stove, fridge, dishwasher, & sink all worked great. A/C worked well also and kept the place nice and cool. And there are 2 big screen TVs which is nice; other units I looked at had little bitty TVs. Comfy couches, tile floors, 2 full bathrooms, washer/dryer, and a large kitchen table round out the inside amenities. We were very comfortable and could probably have had a few more guests.
Only cons here were the beds were a bit too stiff for me and my sister says the dryer didn't dry too well but that could have been my sister's fault. It got the job done just took a while.
Outside the Condo:
The pool is what you'd expect. It was clean and clear going from 3 feet with nice steps down to 5 feet with a ladder. The hot tub was nice too and has a waterfall effect into the main pool. I don't know how kids have so much energy but mine loved playing in it after a day at the beach. This unit in the complex also has a nice patio space right outside the front door for relaxing outside with a table and a few chairs and a clear view of the pool. There's also a shower spigot in the front by the driveway for cleaning the sand off before you go in the pool or the condo.
Con here was not having a grill. I don't have much experience with condos so I don't know if this type of item only appears at more expensive places but you should know there isn't one on the property.
Last bit of advice is be sure to arrange the details of your stay before you get there with the owner, Andrew. This property had a key code to get in the gate and the room so get it before you show up to be sure there aren't any surprises. Andrew was very friendly and made sure everything was up to par for our stay and checked in at the end just to see if we had any problems.
Overall we were very pleased with our selection. I look to stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway.

Although there's no grill on the property, portable gas grills are allowed. I don't have a grill due to the liability. What's most important to me is that you enjoy your stay. Keycodes are always given before arrival so checkin is done before your vacation starts so you are not wasting time picking up keys and car permits. The code changes for every visitor so nobody can use a code after they checkout. The location is great, close to the beach with a stripes just down the street. I plan on upgrading the mattress in the master bedroom to Tempur-pedic so you can get a perfect nights rest.

About the neighborhood
Enjoy your vacation in this luxury 2 bedroom 2 full bathroom condominium. My place is big enough to hold 3 bedrooms with almost 1000 square feet, thats 2 and half times the size of an average hotel room. Built in 2008, the kitchen is complete with a full size fridge, microwave, stove and oven. It has plenty of storage and all the utensils and gadgets you will need. Tile floors throughout. Relax in the suede sofa sleeper and loveseat in the living room while watching the 51" high definition television. The dining room sits 6 comfortably. The master bedroom has a queen bed with full bathroom. The second bedroom has a 42" Led HDTV and 2 twin beds. Both rooms have dresser drawers and full closets. Just one half block from the beach (5 minutes walking) and Wanna Wanna where you can shower off, use the restroom , eat some great seafood and burgers and listen to great live music. Pick up your tacos, snacks and drinks across the street at stripes. This unit is on the floor level so there's no luggage to carry upstairs or worry about a broken elevator. Parking for 2 cars is right outside just steps from the front door. Enjoy the pool and jacuzzi right outside the front door. No need for a cooler here. Just steps away from the refrigerator. Play Golf at the South Padre Island Golf club just 15 minutes drive. Cool off at Schlitterbahns indoor and outdoor waterpark just a 5 minute drive and free parking. See the firework show at Clayton's beach bar just 10 blocks north with plenty of parking all year round. They also have great live music with concerts. Check in and check out is done before your stay so there's no place to stop fill out paperwork and pick up a key and towels. The place is keyless so no worry about losing keys for card getting erased by your cell phone. The code automatically changes on checkout.
