Oyster Drive Bungalow | House in Port Isabel with SpaceX Views!!

I am leaving an overall 5 star review, though there were a few things that I found unpleasant. For starters when we checked in there was a $90 fee for staying at the park and using the amenities, which I dont mind but being aware of this fee in advance would have been nice to know about. I have 4 kids and taking vacations is a luxury for us and money is a factor. I know it may not be for most but for us it is and I know it may only be $90 but it just cut into our budget. If we would've known about that fee we could've acounted for it in advance. The house itself was very beautiful! My kids and boyfriend really enjoyed being able to fish right off the canal every single day, and I mean every single day! The house was right on the canal, it had 2 full bathrooms, a living room, an extra couch, full washer and dryer and a full kitchen which was so lovely to be able to wash towels, our clothes and we were even able to cook every day! The door to the master room was a pocket door but it was slightly off the hinges which made for opening and closing the door quite difficult. Oh, and the little black ants....they were a neucence!!! They got into everything and wouldn't go away! They ruined our bag of cereal, fruit, and just anything thay was left on the counter. It seemed like nothing we did worked to get rid of them which was very frustrating since it was our breakfast things that were on the counter....but the cereal was left on top of the fridge in hopes it would be safe from the ants but even that fell victim up there. Other than thise few minor inconveniences, I would stay at this house again and even in LIV! It's a quiet community with sweet locals and plenty to do if you're just trying to have a chill day at the house but not in the house. There was a full golf course, a mini putt putt course, swimming pool with indoor and outdoor swimming pool and they even hold events.

Neighborhood amenities were great. Fishing right from back deck. Property nicely decorated and remodeled.

We a had issues with the appliances. The microwave would not warm up food I put my food in for 10 minutes and it was still ice cold. Checked the voltage and it said it was in high. The fridge took 12 hours to cool our sodas and water. The drawer for the utensils was very difficult to open and was nerve wracking to open it felt as if we would break it. Then the toaster had a iI had to hold the handle down to toast. Very inconvenient when trying to cook multiple things. The WiFi sucked. You connected once it worked for a few minutes then cut off and never worked after that. We wouldn’t have been an able to message other family staying in Long Island Village… good thing we had a hot spot. Other than these things the stay was awesome and appreciate what was provided.

This is a great property to view the launches as it's right at the south end of the canal. The property is nice and has plenty of space for at least 4 people. I did have a few hiccups with the door code, but management helped right away so only a minor inconvenience. You do need to pay the recreation fee to be in the property, but there is a fun chip and put 18 hole course on premise. Just a short drive over to South Padre Island. You have an unblocked view to the launch tower across the channel on the back deck!

Our stay at this villa was truly enjoyable. Relaxing on the porch, rocking in the chairs, and watching the birds made for a wonderfully peaceful experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and having a washer and dryer available was a great convenience. Although the utilities were being worked on and the power went out briefly, a repairman was sent immediately to resolve the issue. The problem was never fully resolved. We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable place or a more attentive staff.

Decent place, we had an excellent view of a Starship static fire! Would have given 5 stars, only negative comment is about the Community association, there was some construction going on in the road to the property and the construction team did not provide continuous access so we had to park down the road and walk to the property several times. Worked out OK, but it was a inconvenience. Also, be prepared to wait at the island bridge a few times.

Great location, clean , I will take ir again

Nothing like having a view of the horizon with the fish jumping and all the birds to watch. And the view of the SpaceX facility was an added bonus.

Nice, clean, comfortable bungalow on a dead-end street on a canal with a wonderful, uninterrupted view looking out over a salt water marsh teaming with a variety of birds to views of South Padre Island and SpaceX.

The amenities and security at Long Island Village are great. This property was clean. Upon arriving, automatically there were issues with the electricity in certain areas of the house, we thought it was a one time thing but nope, it continued our whole stay. The lights in the master bathroom& bedroom, utility hallway and 2nd bathroom would flicker then go out completely, the main tv would also turn off along with those lights. Big inconvenience when your showering a toddler and the light go out! The lights in the dock/outdoor area wouldn't turn on or stay on either. The attic door out in the balcony is broken open and hanging, we pushed it inward so it would fall on us or our kids. I contacted Vacasa, sent video and photos. At first I was told to look for a breaker box, which we didn't find anywhere but in my opinion, we shouldn't have been asked, it's not our property. They stated writing up a report and we'd be contacted if someone was going to go out there for maintenance. We've checked out from the location and haven't heard from Vacasa.
