We’ve stayed at this property before and love it. This was our first time in this particular unit, which is managed by Vacasa and not some of other local management companies. The check in/out process is fully remote, you never see or speak to another person - just get a series of emails/texts with instructions. The unit was good, fantastic location steps from the beach. Beds are comfortable, no discernible noise from other units but we did hear noise from the street. The provided box fans were great for drowning out noise at night. Dishwasher does not work, as the soap compartment is fused shut. We were a party of five who preferred to eat in, so hand-washing dishes for six days was a little frustrating. There is a minimal supply of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, so be prepared to bring your own or make a run to the supermarket. We noticed ants in the kitchen on our first day but they disappeared after a few hours. Make sure you leave promptly by check out time, as the door codes are changed immediately at 10 am. Thankfully we were packed and loaded by then, else we might have been locked out. Despite some inconveniences, you can’t beat the location. Overall our stay was good.

This was our first time in South Padre, and we loved it. The property is right on the beach, with a lovely ocean view and sunrise. A little work was being done on the beach when we got there, but it was cleaned and out of the way that night. The home was clean, with plenty of dishes and a full kitchen for cooking. There were no paper towels, so make sure you bring your own. The rooms were comfy, though the mattresses were a bit worn. Mine was some memory foam that cratered each night, so I had to change the side of the bed I was sleeping on. The wifi had to be reset several times, and the TVs were tiny. Otherwise, the location is fantastic, and the instructions were self-explanatory.

Wonderful property with ocean views and street view so you can enjoy the sun into the evening. It had plenty of appliances for cooking.
This property would be superb if it had its own washer and dryer inside the condo.

Arrived on Monday, left on Sunday and wished we had more time. With beautiful ocean views and being steps away from the beach the location was perfect. While the finishing is may not be the most updated, the unit was clean and that's the most important thing to us. It was also well equipped. The only negative was a DVD player that was not working. We had a rainy day near the end of our stay and so we wanted to watch a couple movies. Never the less we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Unit is directly located across the beach and the views are spectacular. Unit is well maintained overall, seemed a little old but you get what you pay for. Host response was very quick when we let them know parking tags were missing. Only thing we didn’t like is that the lights don’t come on in any of the bedrooms. Other than that no complaints and would definitely pick it next time we visit.

This condo is right on the beach so it makes trips there fast and easy. We did have a problem with the AC not cooling when we got there. It didn’t get fixed until the next day. That was the only issue we had. The condo was nice and clean. The balcony door in the main bedroom does not lock so they have a stick to use to keep it from opening. I think that should be a priority to get fixed. There is also only 3 lamps in main room to use for light and the one on the dresser wasn’t plugged in and a hassle to try to reach. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus. We would most likely stay again.

We have stayed in the Florence 2 many times . It’s a smaller unit that allows you space to relax without the crowds.

Great location and the complex was small and quiet so pool and hot tub were very private which was nice. It's literally steps to pool and beach access. It had everything we needed and great balcony views of the beach. We would definitely stay again. Check in was easy.

Great Location and accomodations
This property was located right on the beach and clean. It is an older property and the mattresses could use an upgrade but overall it was beautiful. We really wish there would have been a community barbeque and in unit washer/dryer.
