Poolside condo only 1 block from the beach!

The location of this condo is good. Beach access is about a 10 minute walk. The small gated patio was good for storing our beach stuff. It is located adjacent to the hot tub. The gated entry to the parking lot will give some peace of mind but we saw many local workers with the codes. Also the gate is very slow. The furnishings were fine; beds good and kitchen equipment adequate. Stayed in many places on SPI over the last 18 years this place had virtually no supplies. no salt, no pepper, no spices, no left over condiments, no sponge, no coffee filters, no trash bags, 1 dishwasher detergent pod, no laundry pods. Other places on the island have all had beach towels. This had none - bring your own because there were only 3 towels in each bath. Additional deficiencies: there are missing sink stoppers in baths 1 & 2, The toilet flush lever is broken in bath 1. The toilet flapper in bath 3 runs. Dryer does not turn off when the door is opened - keep kids away. Wifi access required a couple of calls to Padre Getaways to get password. I booked through VRBO. However, shortly after committing I received an email from PG with links to an agreement. Terms on this agreement differed from the VRBO site on cancellation policy. This was resolved after a phone call with PG and typing “not applicable” rather than my initials next to the paragraph with PG terms. At best this is sloppy, at worst slimy. You must pick up a physical key from PG. Very quaint but late fee after 6pm.

Condo needs to be updated. Furniture and walls were not in the best shape. Appearances inside 3 out 5 stars.

The management company was the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Rude as can be

Awesome condo. We had a great time. Very nice.

The unit was beautiful until we saw the shredded up couch. That was the first thing we noticed. I called the front desk so they would be aware(didn't wanna be blamed). They were fully aware and did NOT offer another unit or a compensation/discount. The pool was super small. And with all the people using it. It was like a pot of bacteria. We chose not to use the pool. Which was a bomber because the kids really wanted to swim...so did I. They sat on the patio watching. Would I stay here again? Wouldn't be my 1st choice ONLY because of the pool and couch. However, the host that I communicated back and forth with was sooooo sweet! And because of that...this would be my 2nd choice.

No direct beach access.

This is the 2nd year we have stayed at Las Verandas, different condos, but both times, clean and close to Claytons to park & go to the beach. I recommend this location to family & friends.

This was a nice spot on the island. The only drawback was there was no clear beach access from the property, so you could not just walk to it. However, the size of the property was nice. Its a little close to the road, so you will hear traffic until about 11pm on the weekends. We did enjoy the property and all the amenities!
