Tortuga

This property was all as described, and the sleeping accommodations perfectly fit our needs for 6 adults. The property was perfectly located on the island for restaurants, clubs, and visits to Port Isabel. The sunset views on the bay were spectacular from the windows and porches.

Family Winter Trip

The overall experience at this property was wonderful! It started off by great communication with Elizabeth. She was very responsive to any questions we had and was always quick to respond. Information and pictures provided about the property was very accurate. Great location that allowed us to walk everywhere and be so close to the beach. We would love to come back and stay again. Thank you Elizabeth!

This property was awesome! We all loved getting up in the morning and seeing all of the wildlife of the multiple balconies. It was fun, going down to the dock and seeing the fish, crabs, and other wildlife in the water. We didn’t have a boat, But you could surely dock there and go out in the bay and go fishing. The condo was clean and nicely laid out with the kitchen and table for dining, which was also near the balcony. It was fun to get to visit with the owners sons large turtle Bowser! There were beautiful sunsets on the bay side, and we would walk a couple of blocks to the other side of the island to watch the sunrise on the Gulf side! Elizabeth was an excellent communicator and answered all questions and provided good tips on places to eat and visit. Obviously, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this awesome property!

Perfect spot

We stayed here for the Easter break and had an amazing time. The home is in a perfect location. Walking distance to lots of things. Short walk to the beach. The house itself was just great. Perfect vacation vibes. Spacious and looks even prettier in person. Multiple balconies with great bay views. The home is equipped with everything you need. The pool and hot tubs were fun and relaxing. My family was very comfortable and really enjoyed staying there. We had no issues whatsoever. The host was wonderful. We hope to make this our vacation rental for future trips.

Spring Break 2025

First time visiting South Padre Island. Unit worked well for our family (my husband and I and two adult children with significant others)A lot of places are accessible with a quick walk- including the beach. Pool and hot tubs were perfect and private. The condo itself was very well maintained and I appreciated the extras- i.e., beach chairs, coolers, and wagon to pull items to the beach. The layout of the townhome allowed 6 adults plenty of space and included a tucked away office nook perfect for reading and 4 balconies to allow private time for couples. 10/10 would rent again if we return to South Padre. The only thing that we'd change is that it was spring break and cars were cruising the strip. The bedrooms face the road so the weekend nights were loud.

A great house on a great location.

I can honestly say that this was a great townhouse plenty of space, everything you need, very up-to-date. My wife and two teenage daughters we're very pleased our whole trip. This location allows you access to many of the features of the island. A gated, safe condo community with absolutely wonderful host. I was in contact with Elizabeth a few times during the week and she always responded. They really went out of their way to make sure that my family and I enjoyed our stay.

LOVED THIS CONDO!!!

We absolutely loved our week long stay at this condo! The host really thought of everything to make our stay super comfortable, and she was always available with super fast response times. The A/C on the 2nd floor went out (we didn’t even notice b’c the 3rd floor was still keeping the place cool). But the owner had it fixed (whole new compressor and everything) completed in less than a day and we were never disturbed cause they did it during times we were going to the beach. Home maintenance happens, and I just think it was AMAZING how fast the owner was able to complete this and without it interrupting our vacation what so ever! The views of the bay were beautiful and provided some entertainment with the boats going by (or getting stuck on the sandbar lol). The multiple balcony’s were so nice to hang out on, and really the entire home was so tastefully decorated. OH! And the beds!!! They were SO comfortable!!! The best beds I’ve stayed in EVER at a VRBO/Abnb home and I can’t tell you how much I truly appreciated that! To add to the benefits of this home, I really loved the fact that we could use the garage if needed. We have a lot of expensive fishing equipment that we were able to store in there while we weren’t out at the beach or offshore, and knowing it was secure there instead of on a back patio or taking up room in a vehicle made our trip much more enjoyable! Really and truly this was the best hosted home I’ve ever stayed in in the island!

Everything we needed and more!

Stayed here over a very chilly Christmas. Very easy check in following Elizabeth’s instructions. Very clean and well stocked kitchen; had no problems making a couple of dinners. Elizabeth provided all necessary bathroom products, body and hand soaps, shampoos and conditioners, toilet paper, and garbage bags, dishwasher detergent for the kitchen. Not having to buy these items makes such a pleasant change! It’s a great location to explore the island too. We brought our bikes and cycled to visit the turtle sanctuary and nature walks; both worth a visit. The beach is lovely too; there are many public beach access points. We loved watching all the birds that visited the dock area. Despite the cooler temperatures we were still able to heat up the hot tubs to use. Elizabeth provided very quick responses to the couple of questions that I had. Overall a great place to stay and would definitely stay here again.
