This was a nice beachfront condo. We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Condo is in a great location with private beach access straight from the condo to the beach.

We had a great time. The location was as described. Right on the beach with the ocean viewable from the balcony. The property took some getting used to. When we arrived, the microwave smelled and had rotten food inside it. The owners/managers however, took immediate care and had it cleaned the next morning after we arrived. We appreciated their responsiveness on that matter.
The bathroom door did not latch or close. We had to manage usage with our adult children. There was preexisting and visible cosmetic damages around the shower area (in addition to other places in the apartment) that we texted to the apartment management.
The last point might be a function of the location or just as a consequence of being on the beach. The bunk beds had dust on them and gave one of my kids' allergies. We believed they might not have been changed after the bed was last used.
After a day though, we were able to easily take everything in stride. forget the impressions of the first day and enjoy the location, all the wonderful amenities and the money we spent.
Our family came to spend the weekend in south padre and found a gem with breathtaking views. I highly recommend this condo so convenient to the beach and restaurants. Away from the crowds of the hotels. We will be back for sure!
My husband and I always choose a condo at Florence. The condos are always clean and have everything we need to be comfortable. The host is always available and we look forward to staying here again in the near future.
Our host was most responsive and the kitchen was so well equipped. Also provided were beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella, and sand toys for kids. There were some floor tile and cosmetic issues but we are excited to be returning next year!
First I want to say that check in was a easy process . I find this condo to be excellent, great view and the place was so clean and organized and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Thank you Laura for making our vacation wonderful . We will definitely be staying here again .
This was our second time staying here and we had a great experience. On this trip, the weather was windy, rainy and just dreary but since this is a cozy place with a balcony, we stayed in and just relaxed.
We plan on returning next year.
Great location, great view, older building, unit needs work. Broken tile that has been for awhile, see previous reviews. Bathroom not great mainly the shower, I am 5' 10" and had to either stoop down or use handheld shower wand thing. Overall it is a good property just time for some improvements
Excellent. The only things that need improvement is the shower and the loveseat in the living room. The shower is short I had to bend my head backwards toe wash and rinse my hair. The love seat was extremely hard and short. Other than that I recommend this condo to everyone! The hot tub was so warm perfect to end the night!

Great ocean view
Nice condo on the beach. WiFi was out the whole time, which we didnt need much anyway because we were out exploring SPI most of the time.
Brand new coffee maker but no coffee - this seems typical of all the places I have rented. There is a nice little store a couple blocks away for supplies.
Cozy apartment - a little outdated decor. Couch and chair not very comfortable but spent most of our time on the deck with a great view of the ocean.
Dehumidifier and AC very noisy.
Overall a nice place to stay and enjoy SPI.

Multiple issues with property
We were unable to get into the unit with code provided as somehow it was offline. It took several calls to the manager who provided us with a universal code which got us in the door. The TV and internet were not working. Several more calls to manager who tried to coach us how to reboot the system with no results. She instructed us to call the internet company to set up a time for them to come evaluate the system. She could not understand why the TV was not working as it worked for the last tenants. So on Friday and Saturday went to a bar to watch our Big 10 team. Someone got the TV working while we were out, the HDMI port was not working on the TV, so changed it to satellite On Sunday morning, internet repair was to be there between 9-10. At 10:10 I called the manager who said he was there, but he was at the wrong unit. So hour and half later, he decided the modem was bad and replaced it. So after 2 days we finally had everything promised. The unit needed painting with many cracks in wall and tile floors. Location was adequate with good parking, beach outside our patio. No smoking but unit beside us were smoking on their deck. Did not want to deal with these issues when on vacation. Should not have been our responsibility to arrange for internet service and have to be there. Always pleasant when I called, Just feel overpriced for what we got.
Perfect island getaway, with the best balcony view. The beach is just a few steps from the property, and there are showers to rinse off when you’re done with the beach. They also allow pets, which was a plus for us. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make food if you plan on staying in. I would book again.
The condo met all our needs and had a fantastic balcony view of the beach, boardwalk, pool, and hot tub. My wife could sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view while also keeping an eye on the kids wherever they went. Overall, a top notch experience for the entire family, including our three dogs.
The property was clean very nice and impressive for the price will definitely be booking again. Overall the process was easy. The host communicated well and quickly. I would rent at this place again.
Laura and Judy were tremendous hosts who provided early and frequent communication. We absolutely loved the condo that offered a spectacular view of the ocean with plenty of seating on the balcony. The private beach access from the pool area is especially nice to venture out to the beach and back to the condo as many times as you want throughout the day. The condo has all the amenities you need to enjoy your time on the beach to include beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards. I would definitely stay here again, and being dog friendly was a huge plus for us!!
We really enjoyed our stay. This condo had everything we needed for 3 adults and 2 small children. The pool was nice and access to the beach was quick and easy!
Great ocean view from the balcony and super easy access to the beach. Really liked that the bathroom was large and loved the comfort of the bed in the master bedroom. The elevator is a little slow and hot but I feel like that seems to be the norm with open beach facilities like this. I was a little worried about the tar situation at first but it ended being just fine. We had a lovely time.
This was a great place to spend the week at South Padre Island. The view from our balcony was spectacular. The condo is nicely decorated and kitchen and bathroom were well stocked.
