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 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.
