    The house was very cute and cozy! Had a fenced back yard for our furbaby! Close to several good bar & grills… also Josephine’s brunch is close by and is 10/10!

    The host was very welcoming, provided wonderful information about the area restaurants and beach access. The house is in an excellent location-just a few minutes from everything, including SPI. Fire pit in the back yard was great for a smore night with our kids too!

    We loved the location of this property—close enough to walk to the things we wanted to see in Port Isabel and just a very short drive over the bridge to South Padre Island.The backyard was as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. Unfortunately (especially as someone who brought a young child who wanted to play in the yard and paid an extra fee to bring our dog)—the backyard was covered in dog stool and there was nothing to clean it up with. We had to contact the owner to be able to access the personal shed to get a shovel to clean up 15 mounds of dog poop. I understand that this was the previous guests’ responsibility to clean up after their pet—but it would be nice if supplies were available to clean up after your pet (since it’s a pet-friendly location) and if the cleaning crew checked this as part of their service before giving the okay for the next guest to come in. The back porch was so nice. We loved the window from the kitchen that looked out onto the backyard. I do feel like it should be disclosed that the bathroom is not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. The entry is extremely narrow. The shower is a completely tiled stall shower with nothing to hold onto. Had either of my elderly parents been with us, I would not have felt safe with them using this shower. It was definitely hard to shower a small child in it!I also had to spend over an hour dealing with the host trying to figure out the alarm system that was not working. Very frustrating.

    Older Florida home nestled in tropical landscape. Fenced in yard was great for dog. Owner was very accommodating. Location was very convenient to restaurants & grocery stores. Only a short drive over the bridge to the island.

    We really enjoyed our stay! It was clean, had everything we needed. The beds were comfy as was the couch for relaxing. The backyard was an oasis and a great place for evening cocktails.

    I can never possibly explain the worst nightmare that happened upon arrival for my 40th! This place was NOT cleaned prior to arrival, bug infested everywhere! My poor dog got bite by a spider recluse in the right eye an hour after arrival. $$$ later getting him better and still no response from Vrbo. I can’t post pictures of the incidents! How is it fair. Cockroach’s/waterbugs in the light of ceiling fan in main bedroom. Bugs alive in bed just absolutely disgusting and the contact was useless! Can’t trust this place. Don’t take your pets if you actually choose this place and I highly recommend against renting here!

    The property was as described in the listing. The home was cozy and perfect for our needs. Easy access to the Island and to get to the road back to Brownsville. Backyard was really neat! Due to the recent rains the mosquitos made it hard to enjoy it too much, but that was everywhere and not an owner issue. Owner had wonderful communication prior to arriving which I appreciated. We would stay again!

    We enjoyed everything about this place. A nicely decorated home with all of the necessities. My kids really enjoyed the backyard with all of the foliage. It is very convenient to local restaurants, the fishing pier, and the bridge to the island. If we ever return to the area, we will stay here again.

He is amazing and our stay was a blast!! Thank you so much for sharing your little cottage with us! It is most def a home away from home!!! Will stay here again in the future!
