Just a few minor things we didn’t like…
When we checked in we realized the WiFi didn’t work they came & tried to fix it but just ended up not having WiFi all weekend. Some of the outlets inside the condo don’t work. Their was pots but no pans, the electric skillet didn’t work that they had there. My husband & I slept in the middle bedroom well outside theirs a light right above the window that was so bright in our room. Kept me up the first night. After that we put towels in the window to help keep some of that light out. I suggest they get some type of black out curtains to block out that night at night. The ceiling fan in the master didn’t work. They said we’re going to replace it. Other than these few things it wasn’t a bad place to stay. These are all things they could fix/take care of.

Not worth it
2 of the beds were hard & felt like I was sleeping directly on the boxspring, extremely uncomfortable. The kitchen was super tiny. The 2 of the shower doors had 1 inch wide gaps causing water to leak all over the floor. 1 of the bathrooms you have to squeeze through in order to open/close the door. 2 of the TVs barely work I had to reboot the router twice a day. The kitchen sink handle was practically broken off when I got there. The couch was sunken in. The dining room table was clearly too big for the amount of space available. I wasn't expecting perfection but for the amount I spent I DID expect BETTER QUALITY

Don’t stay here! Roaches and neglected property!
We stayed here 3 years ago and it was a great experience. The condo looked like the pictures they have up on the website. When booking this trip, we had no hesitation with wanting to stay here again. I’m not sure what’s happened in the timeframe between each visit, but it seems as if the property has been neglected. The walls have chipped paint and small holes everywhere. Light fixtures are missing, light bulbs out so very dark in the house, one of the shower doors were falling off the rails and just overall dirty. The beds were terrible! They very worn, meaning there’s a dip where others have slept, and very squeaky/felt like metal mattresses. Kitchen needs major attention! They didn’t provide Simple cooking necessities (measuring cups, salt/pepper, whisk, mixing bowls, etc). We were willing to look over all this because it was all cosmetics and things we could fix but what did it for us was the roaches, big and small, mostly in the kitchen. I called the number to the property and they sent someone out to spray (in the kitchen) and told me he thinks they fumigated the building so it was normal for them to come out. We asked the other tenants if they were having a similar issue and they said no. Overall, it was disappointing because it has great qualities like 3 bed/3 bathrooms and a washer/dryer combo just wish it was kept up better.

Traveled to Padre Island TX for our son's wedding
Overall, we really liked the location of the property, and well as the unit itself. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was great!! The unit was very comfortable and was a very nice place for us to relax at the end of each day, especially after our son's wedding. The grandkids loved playing in the pool and the easy access to the beach and shopping. The downside was a negative experience with some of the other tenants. The policy states that there's a strong spring break policy in which the units are for multigenerational families, and that there has to be someone at least 29 years old in the unit. We had a group of about 6 young men (no one close to age 29) arrive. They were openly smoking marijuana, coming in all hours of the night, talking and laughing loudly, and the last night they were there, they kept purposely setting off the car alarm. Apparently, things escalated and there was an altercation with the tenant above us. There were 5 police cars, an ambulance and a truck that hauled away a tenants truck. There was blood dripped on the walkway between our units and up the stairs. This kept us up most of the night. We have young grandchildren we had to try and explain this situation to, and make sure they were not afraid. This does not affect our opinion of the unit, or the comfort and convenience of it. I understand that you can't always know how a tenant/guest will behave or if they are truthful in the application process, but my hope is that you may find a way to cut down on these types of occurrences.

Not as expected
To begin with, when we got there I had to clean out the fridge because something had spilled all over it and the housekeepers had not cleaned it. The one rug in the whole place looked like it had not been vacuumed in about a month. This is advertised as "no spring breakers" and sleeping 8 people, but the kitchen is inadequate to cook for 6 people, let alone 8 (only 2 bowls, not a mixing bowl in sight), one tray that could be put in the oven. The photos make the condo look bright and inviting and yet (as they mentioned) everything has been changed to white "in the name of COVID." Well, that's fine, but there were no mattress covers on the beds, no pillow case covers, and the pull out did not have a complete set of bedding. We have a 3 year old daughter who wet the bed numerous times over the course of our month long stay=gross with no mattress cover. The mattresses and couches are mushy pits that hardly get the job done. There's not a hook to hang a towel or toilet paper holder in the whole place. Not exactly your home away from home. In truth, this condo is much more run down than the pictures appear, and while the location is great, I would choose somewhere else next time.

Great Location
The manager was very prompt with any issues we had. The layout of the condo worked well for us. The kitchen is not well stocked so if you plan to cook bring what you need. There were no spices or salt and pepper. The condo definitely needed a good cleaning. There were still toothpaste spits on the bathroom sink and dirty dishes in the cabinets. I definitely expected more because of the time of Covid. Luckily I had brought some cleaning supplies. The beds were comfortable but there were no extra linens available for the pull out couch.
