The property was spotless when we arrived. Access code was given in plenty of time before our arrival. The layout was perfect for our family and friends. 1st level entry with bunks for the teenage boys, and a private bedroom/bath for the "chaperone" adults, plus a pool table and easy access to the swimming pool to keep the teens occupied.
The second level is the heart of the beach house. The kitchen (with labels on the cabinets) was well laid out. Plenty of room to cook, eat, and relax. Great balcony view of Gulf Blvd, and the Gulf itself beyond the public beach access. Speaking of Beach Access, it's simply a walk across the street. On this same level are two bedrooms, a utility room w/sink, outside stairs to the pool area, and a small desk nook.
The top floor has a master bedroom with a king-sized bed, an outside balcony just above the 2nd-floor balcony (same view). Adjacent to the Master is a small closed bedroom; however, the occupants must share the Master Bath or use the 2nd-floor bath, not a biggie.
Overall there is plenty of lighting with TVs and fans in every room. The AC performed very well (downright cold!), just remember to keep the door closed when checking in or out. The humidity can freeze up an air conditioner in no time. We had no issue with the AC as we made sure we had someone man the door as we moved in and out.
We had an incident with a shower door but the property manager stayed on top of it and took care of us. Not too many negatives here. We would have liked some darkening curtains or shades for our late sleepers and a garden hose by the outside shower to wash off our beach gear but those are minor inconveniences. The pool was like bath water, again a minor inconvenience, but what do you expect in the summer heat. Nevertheless, we used it quite a bit as well as the BBQ pit.
We've frequently vacationed in So Padre for the last 30+ years and have rented many beach homes and condos. Aside from one we rented several years ago right on the beach (which was much smaller), this is the best rental experience we've ever had.
