Soak up breathtaking vistas and mesmerizing sunsets at this bayfront condo. Your bayfront retreat is in a prime location for boating and fishing enthusiasts. Bring your own boat, or book a charter from Danny B’s Fishing Charters -- located 280 feet away -- to experience some of the finest fishing on the Texas coast. The beach is also a 7-minute walk from your condo. Spend sunny days along the Gulf of Mexico building sandcastles, lounging on the shore, or swimming in the surf. The Marlin Arms is also conveniently located within walking distance of some of South Padre’s most iconic eateries and attractions, including Louie’s Backyard and Gravity Park. Take a dip in the shared pool open year-round, which boasts its own panoramic views of the Laguna Madre Bay. This complex also offers its own private fishing dock and boat slip.

The bright and airy living room is furnished with a sofa and a sleeper sofa. Watch your favorite shows on the 44” cable TV. Granite countertops glisten in the kitchen, equipped with a full suite of appliances. As dinner simmers on the stovetop, sip on a crisp drink at the kitchen bar with seating. When you’re ready to eat, gather around the dining table together.

    Do not stay here! Pictures are misleading. Carpets were nasty with stains and frayed edges. Sheets in one bedroom had not been changed (dirty). Could hardly open the patio door. Towel bar broken in one bathroom. Light out in one bathroom (maintenance replaced it). Ants in kitchen (maintenance came to spray and clean). When we advised the host that we could not stay in the rundown condo, we were not offered any restitution. Even after reporting this to Vacasa, only a very small refund was offered.

    At first glance of the building we were not too sure about our booking. The elevator is broken, making it difficult to haul all of your belongings to the very top floor in the heat. Based off previous reviews from other customers, I was hoping that the carpet and couch cleanness was resolved, but it wasn’t. The curtains had stains all over them (blackout curtains would be a plus) and so did the bed spread. The highlights were the fishing pier and the pool with a beautiful view of the bay!

    It’s a cute condo with enough sleeping space. It is a little outdated, but it looks like most places in the area look the same. The condo had a couple of fans which was a plus because we tend to be a little hot nature. We only wish there were blankets available for the pullout sofa. Overall, it was a great experience.

    Upon arrival at 4p checkin, my brother and i arrived in two separate vehicles. He parked at assinged parking #9 and i parked across the street. The condo was still being cleaned at 4p, my brother went downstairs to grabbed luggage, as he returned i went to my truck to grab luggage just to notice my truck was towed away. It cost me 277 to get my truck out of impound. The condo was clean and ready to move in by 435p.

    Loved the location and the layout of the condo. Having king size beds and 3 full baths is a bonus! Would have loved to enjoy the sunset by the pool if there were tables and chairs out by pier. Additional Bbq pits for guests to use would also be nice.

    Filthy, filthy carpets, mildew on couches, bathroom sink not draining, bedroom slider would not latch or lock, lack of bedding for couch bed. Gate lock box would not open. Struggled with it for 50 minutes even after calling manager.

    The good part would be the size of the rooms and general appearance. The biggest con is the size of the parking. We have a large SUV. If you had even a small car next to you, it was almost impossible to exit the car. Note, there’s only one parking spot for this unit. Although there are guest spots at the complex, we were strictly informed that we could not use these spots. We ended up having to spend an extra 20 a day to pay for overnight parking somewhere else on the island. Next, Bedding was not provided for the sleeper sofa, causing two of our guests to use towels to cover the mattress. Luckily we travel with our own blankets. The sleeper sofa is so uncomfortable, we had to use the throw pillows and couch cushions under the mattress to TRY to make it sleepable. There are no ice trays or ice maker. It was great to have three bathrooms. However, they were very tiny. Largest frustration was the fact that we could not speak to anybody who was managing the property locally. We were could only reach somebody in California. The local management company did not contact us at all. We were forced to go without the bedding for the sofa bed, despite waiting two hours for a response. I called, texted, emailed. Finally after waiting to be contacted by the “local” manager and my contacting the management company in California again, at 9 PM I was told nobody was going to respond to our request. I requested a partial refund for one night, as two of our guests did not have a bed. Nope!

    Vacasa has 4pm check in and 10qm check out .. unacceptable..industry is getting worse each year and we pay more to get less each year.. no early check in option although the unit was not rented.. no electricity in restroom.. carpet in bedrooms are old and dirty although the unit layout is great .. dated and not kept up .. would expect more from a corporate entity like Vacasa considering the way they continue to gouge their customers
