Condo was as advertised. Great as pet is allowed. Owner responded quickly when we had an issue with dishwasher. If you are considering this condo, would recommend. Just make sure you check-in during when office is open.

Wonderful balcony and great beach. Clean and very well equipped and comfortable unit. Some issues with building ( pool closed for repairs, some excess water in parking garage). Owner was friendly and very helpful.

Our host carol was absolutely amazing. The description of the property was perfect. The condo was right on the beach which made access to and from the beach very easy. The Oceanside deck provided beautiful views and perfect sounds/temperatures. We will definitely be returning.

Its all about the view and this condo has a 5 star view. We try to visit every year for Sand Castle days. Its close enough to the event to walk there and back.Very comfortable. Thank you

We had a great September stay at this property. We appreciate the small details like ice already made and coffee filters available. Everything was easy to manage, clean, and comfortable. The view was breathtaking - especially at sunrise.

The property had everything we needed, large balcony overlooking the gulf, it’s not fancy but again, we were fine with that. My only recommendation to the owner would be to maybe get some better sheets for the bed, but we had plenty of towels, the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of kitchenware. Carol was responsive right away when we had a question about the Wi-Fi. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay overall. The condo is in a great location. It’s right in the middle of Clayton’s and turtles, and the restaurants on the opposite side. The beach was super quiet and clean. The parking is gated which really gave me peace of mind. The room was good. The bathroom vent damn could have used a scrub with some vinegar and bleach as it looked a tad moldy. The bathroom cabinet had marks that could’ve been touched up. The outside patio light and the living room TV did not work which I can only assume is an electrical issue within the building. I didn’t come to watch TV so it wasn’t a big deal. Overall it was really enjoyable.

Incredible views, huge balcony with lots of seating. My children (10,12,14) opted to just sleep on the couches rather than pull them out into beds. Owners were very responsive & friendly. Would definitely stay here again. Full sized closet to hang up clothes & a 6 drawer dresser. Bed was very comfortable.

The condo and the owner were both great, no issues at all appreciated the owner contacting us to change out towels midway through our stay. Everything worked as it should and was good variety of appliances and utensils.
The building was another thing, only one elevator was working and it had trouble keeping up at times. only the pool and drive gate security locks worked. Manager allowed beach goers to park in building spaces which several times sent us scrambling for somewhere to park. Only a few load in carts for move in move out and they were missing both times we needed them…saw a cleaning crew with one on move out.
Overall really good experience and we will rent again but Inverness management needs to get their act together.

I have stayed at the inverness for many visits to South Padre. You can't get a better view of the sunrise than this. Large patio is a great place to hang out. Was disappointed that the large hot tub wasn't working. Pet friendly was great!

My family and I had a GREAT time at this condo! It was the perfect space for the 4 of us (mom, dad, 2 girls). Everything was clean and ready to go! There is a nice sized pool with jacuzzi and it is so close to the beach! We will most definitely be staying here again!

Once the storms (which we heard were very unusual) passed, the weather and the water were amazing! As someone who usually enjoys the ocean from the beach, I spent a good bit of the week in the water! That’s saying something about how clear, warm and wonderful the water was! The condo was great and you can’t beat the beachfront location. Our favorite restaurant was Parrot Eyes. We had shrimp and the best quesadilla I’ve ever had! Carol was great to work with! Her airport tips made it possible for us to come. We’ll be back!!

This was our fourth trip to the island. The condo we rented was very nice with just a few minor cosmetic problems. Great views for sure! The main problem was the rest of the building was VERY rundown and needed major repairs! Both elevators were out of operation when we tried to check in. We carried part of our stuff up the 9 flights of stairs and on two floors there was couches piled up, blocking the stairs, that we had to go around. We walked back down and decided to go drive around and get something to eat.
When we returned 2 hours later one elevator was fixed. Another renter later in the day told us, and I quote " I have been coming to this building 20 years and not ONCE has both elevators worked at the same time" end quote. One never got fixed our entire stay!! Staff was less than helpful...dirty hallways.. dirty parking area...hot tub was barely warm .. We left a day early...Although condo was nice We will not go back to this building!!

We decided to go for 2 weeks this year. Found Carol's rental on vrbo and decided to try it. Glad we did. The condo was just the right size for us. Only one problem, elevator went down for a couple days. If we needed anything Carol was a phone call away. Wonderful experience and we will be back.

The condo is nice but the view from the balcony is what it's all about. The 9th floor view of the Gulf of Mexico is outstanding! We woke up early every morning, made coffee and watched the sun rise ove the Gulf. Beach access is easy and we enjoyed taking our dog on long walks. It was a great vacation.

This was our 3rd trip to SPI and by far our favorite place we’ve stayed at. The views from the 9th floor were unbelievable and spent every morning out there watching the sunrise over the water. We are already planning our next vacation and will definitely be staying here again. Loved it!!!

Carol and Tony are excellent hosts and always available if you have any questions or need assistance. This was our first visit and will definitely not be our last. The property had excellent views with the crashing of waves as a background. Just what the doctor ordered for a relaxing getaway. The only down side was the fact that one of the 2 elevators is under repair and will be so for the next 3 months. Not a deal breaker just an inconvenience. We will definitely make a return visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this property for 17 days. Carol is a responsive and an excellent host. Coffee pot broke halfway through our stay- she replaced same day with a new one. She also changed our towels halfway through. Like the previous review said, some things could have been cleaner, but nothing major and didn’t dampen our stay at all. Myself, spouse, and 1 year old stayed here along with our little dog. It was the perfect size for our family. View is amazing in the condos at tris location. We will be back and we miss it already!

We loved the huge balcony right on the beach. We had plenty of room and everything we needed was there. Parking was easy, even on the weekend. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The only problem was that it wasn’t quite as clean as it could have been. But we would stay there again.

I won’t go on and on about the outside deck and incredible view except to say that the other reviews do not do it justice. Knowing it was a 9th floor beach view we expected to see the ocean but we were just blown away by the size of the deck. The condo had everything we needed and the only time we had to contact the property manager she answered so quick and was willing come meet us for any other problems. Such a great week!!
