South Padre Paradise w/ Saltwater Pool Near Golf!

Reviews

• Weekend getaway

  5/5

  Quite private home in a gated community. 15 minute drive to the island. The salt water swimming pool is awesome and the hot tub. The scenery at the pool made it so relaxing. The home has everything you need. Just bring your food to cook and grill, along with your pool toys. My teen son and nephew's had a awesome time in the pool, took a inflatable volleyball set up, and a pool basketball hoop, and they played for hours. Our whole we were there we were outside in the pool. Would diffinately rent again.

• Uncomfortable Beds

  2/5

  Great house except for the beds. They were so uncomfortable that half my guests slept elsewhere after their experience that first night. Would otherwise book this location again in the future.

  "Hi Cathy, thank you for providing me with your feedback. I take pride in my property, and it is unfortunate that your stay at my property was not as enjoyable as you would have liked it to be. If I had known about the uncomfortable bed right away, I would have arranged for a bed topper to make your stay more pleasant. You were welcome to contact me anytime, as my phone number was included in the welcome email I sent out."

• Beautiful, Quiet and Safe

  5/5

  The house was beautiful and very clean. Perfect for our family stay. Close enough to South Padre Island for the beach experiences and then away from the night life for evenings in the quiet and safe neighborhood.

• Fabulous Heated Pool!

  4/5

  We rented this house for the heated pool and hot tub and were SO happy with both! The pool deck catches the afternoon and evening sunshine; our family of four spent nearly every afternoon playing in the pool and sunbathing. The house is located in a quiet gated neighborhood adjacent a golf course. The neighborhood is perfect for walking and riding bikes. It's very safe and friendly community!

  A few recommendations: The deck furniture was rusted and several chairs were not useable as the legs were rusted throughout. They have lived a good life--but it's time for them to be replaced. Some of the tiles on the pool deck have popped up and are a possible safety issue. Several lightbulbs need to be changed. Hinge on kitchen cabinet left of stove is broken. And there is a box for a hairdryer but no hairdryer. So...just a little TLC in between renters to ensure all is in good working order in this lovely house.

  If renting longer than a few days I'd recommend packing extra garbage bags, laundry soap, dish soap, etc.

  One concern: When booking on VRBO this house was advertised as full refund/cancellation up to 4 weeks before rental dates; however, when I received the rental agreement from EVOLVE, it stated no refunds and when I called and tried to change the dates by a few days, I was told I'd have to rebook at a new rate. I ended up just keeping original dates and paid for two nights I wasn't there. EVOLVE policies do not seem to match VRBO's.

  5/5

  We had a wonderful time at this rental. It was in a safe/quiet community. We were coming in for a family wedding and usually stay with family when in town, but my family has grown since our last visit, so thought it would be fun to rent a house. It was perfect for my parents, husband, two small son's and myself. Although the weather was rainy most of our stay, the boys enjoyed the heated pool our last two days. We also brought our dog and he had the best time as well. The home was clean and spacious. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Super friendly and helpful, always a text away. Even suggested fun places to take my boys which was much appreciated. We can't wait to come back! It's close to the beach and great restaurants, but nice to come back to a quiet community at the end of a busy day. I definitely recommend staying here.
