Beware of Wildlife
The property is exactly as describe which was good overall. However, there are possums on the grounds that apparently the front desks knows about. One rubbed up against my husband's leg, but thankfully when he jumped up, it hissed at him and scurried away. My suggestion is to stay away from the courtyard and pool area in the evening. It's clear that the property management isn't interested in removing the rodents. There's construction on the outside of the buidling taking place and as a result, there is cement specks all over my SUV. As for apartment 407, its a little small, but has everything needed. If you have little ones who need to take a bath, bring your own stopper as there isn’t one in the bathroom. The water drains slow in the bathroom. The internet is horrible. What made being there enjoyable is the location and the beach access. If you use the washing machine & dryers downstairs, be prepared to pay $3 per machine and the dryers dont dry clothing completely the first time around. Although there's a grocery store up the street, everything cost more on the island. I suggest going to Walmart before you cross the bridge.

Great views and location
Lovely, low key property in walking distance to great eats and the beach. The unit was clean and the check in staff were super helpful. The owner was very responsive when the wifi was laggy. The pillows were kind of flat, but that was minor. Would definitely stay again!

Girls trip
I brought my daughters to the area for all break, while the jelly fish caused a little damper to our beach days, the trips was still great. The unit was perfect for our needs, and we loved being able to see the sunrise from one balcony and the sunset from the other. We were within kid friendly walking distance to a variety of shops, restaurants and fun!!

Fantastic view
Great stay at this property. It was cozy and we really enjoyed the view and the short stroll to the beach from the building. The bed was very firm, as others have mentioned but we still slept just fine. Appreciated the keyless entry when coming and going, not having to keep up with a key was so nice. Great location.

Balcony or Beach - can't go wrong
This condo was perfect for my family! The kitchen had all the utensils and pans I needed for preparing my meals. The bed was SO comfortable (can't recall last time I slept so well!) The location AND the view did NOT disappoint! We were able to see fireworks from both balconies as promised! The property itself is well maintained and the pool was a great option for when the kids needed a break from the surf. We will definitely be returning .... South Padre Island has the most beauitful waters and the views from this rental was the best part <3

Stay here
Well kept grounds/pool/lobby/elevators. Convenient to beach, pool, shops, Louies Backyard. Many, many dishes/gadgets/boogie boards (left behind). Main TV kept freezing but good wifi connection. Almost zero room to store groceries. Appliances working well. Host leaves starter tp, dish soap, hand soaps, papertowel, thank you! Quiet, family place. Master bed was comfortable for us as well as 2nd bedroom beds. We will be back!

Amazing location and property!
The condo was extremely clean and comfy. The views were unbeatable. We could see fireworks at Louie’s perfectly without the crowds, and the views to the beach were perfect. The location was also great! The unit was equipped very well with from the kitchen to extra linens, towels. My only 2 suggestions would be to update the mattress on the fold out couch, we weren’t able to use it and bought a blow up mattress instead. That and adding a lock to the bathroom. Other than that, we loved it!

Sunrise came up right in front room! Fireworks were awesome from the balcony. Well stocked and clean. Walking distance to great coffee shops and restaurants. Beach area not crowded! Well maintained landscape. If you don’t want to use app, bring quarters for laundry, $3.00 wash/$2.75 dry. Captain Murphy tours was great! Just what we need for a break! Will stay again!

Perfect Getaway on the Beach
Location, location, location!!!! Great views of the ocean and literally just a few steps away. The pool and hot tub were also perfect if we needed a break from the beach. It was a short walk down to Cocoa's for happy hour. The condo had everything we needed for a great week. Newly remodeled (it looks just like the pics online). We made all of our breakfasts, lunches and snacks. Hosts were super responsive and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Island Paradise
The property was clean & as described. The pool & hot tub have color changing lights at night along with lights on the path to the beach. The beach was nice, not crowded in April. Local restaurants we experienced were all good. The condo was clean, cute, very comfortable queen bed. The shower pressure was the only negative for me, but I do enjoy lots of pressure. We did not cook but they had lots of necessities to do so. We would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing location, great complex
We loved the short, direct walk to the beach. A community bin had beach toys to borrow which we did often. Pool was heated and sizable, with an 8’ deep end for kids to jump in. Plenty of delicious restaurants were an easy, short walk away. The other residents were extremely nice. The unit itself was clean but just a little dated. As other reviewers mentioned, the queen bed was extremely hard. But the twin beds were very comfortable! Nothing that impacted the pleasure of our stay. Overall, this was an excellent choice for our family of 4 with 2 young boys. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

It was fine.
The two balconies are nice to be able to chase the sun for the day. The deck chairs are not very comfortable . The place looks freshly painted and tiled. The kitchen was stocked well. The furniture is pretty dated, but clean. My only complaint would be I wish it was two queen beds and all the beds are rock hard. But thats a preference thing.
