Or venture to the beaches of South Padre Island, a 35-minute drive away.

Relax in the open living area, where comfortable seating and a TV create the ideal setting for movie nights.

Practice your swing at one of the many golf courses in the area, or learn about local wildlife at Resaca De La Palma State Park & World Birding Center.

Amazing Christmas!
This house was perfect for a holiday get together with family. The owners even had a Christmas tree with decorations and lights for us! Lots of parking and space for all of us. Backyard is perfect with a pool, grill and playground. Sufficient linens, comfortable beds, and lots of cooking items! Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Great family home
I have stayed at this home before and both times have enjoyed it like if it was my own home. It has all the amenities I need. It is very spacious and clean. There is plenty of parking with a large two car garage. The laundry room adjacent to the kitchen is a big plus. The bathroom in the patio is very convenient for a day in The beautiful pool.

Family reunion
We loved the location. Everyone in our family was happy with the accommodations. The kids enjoyed the pool and swing set. They had enough space to play. Our daughter who lives in Harlingen was really surprised to see all of us coming down from NJ and San Antonio to see her. Renting this property made it all possible. Thank you!

Overall a very nice home with only a couple of negatives
The house was very nice. There was plenty of sleeping options and the outdoor area was very nice. My only negatives are that the master bed did not have a box spring. It's probably ok for most people, but I have an arthritic back, so not very good for me. The master shower is a rain shower, which i don't care for. There are also no towel racks. That aside, we had a great time and this was a great way for our family to have a place to hang out.

Overall good stay
We booked this property for a couple days to go to the beach and visit family. Overall it was a good experience but there are some things that can improve. The sheets in the entire house and comforters did not smell very clean therefor we had to go buy our own sheets. If you plan on bringing smaller kids, (we had a 1 yr and 2 yr old) maybe bring an air mattress cause the beds are pretty high both kids fell off the bed so if they were napping one adult had to stay and keep watch in the room and that defeats the purpose of kids napping and getting any adult time in. There are no TVs in bedroom so think about that if you have several kids. The room that did have a pull out bed, you could feel the springs in the mattress so no ones even stayed in that room. The owner did let me know days before the washer wasn’t working which is why I’m thinking sheets and covers weren’t washed. The pool was awesome!!! Very clean and the patio area was great. I would book this again!

Everything great but the Internet
This is the 2nd year staying at the property. Property management was very helpful and responsive. Very clean and well maintained. Only criticism would be the internet. The internet was down for several hours and when it came back it was extremely slow. Since the TV’s all run on internet we had to leave the house to watch Football.

Work Trip
We were traveling for our company and found this property fit our needs very well. Only unfortunate part of the location is the proximity to stores or convenience stores. We had to coordinate ubering everywhere. We ended every time but one in the pool. It was very refreshing after a hard day at work.

Awesome location
This property is a wonderful rental. The home is very beautiful and there is enough space. The kids had a blast in the pool. The evenings outside were relaxing. Would definitely recommend. The only small issue are the bunk beds as the top beds might need a bit of adjustment as they felt loose and the kids were a bit scared to sleep on the top bunks because they felt they would fall. Other than that, this is an awesome rental and we enjoyed our stay and weekend.

This was an amazing property. Would highly recommend this location. Clean, spacious, and nice neighborhood. We used this house for a jump off point to do local birding. Easy to South Padre and west to McAllen.

Exceptional Home!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. We were three families, 6 adults & 5 kids and we all slept comfortably with room to spare. The pool was an excellent past time for the kids when we were home in the evenings. Location was a perfect 7 min from my family’s ranch where we spent NYE weekend. I would highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a place in this location. Very reasonably priced for what we got in return. I give this home 5 stars!

Would Stay Again
Overall the stay was great. Home was very nice and spacious. The only negative is that the lawn wasn't cut prior to our arrival. The high grass worried my wife as we didn't let the kids play outside nearly as much due to the grass being cut and spiders being all over the play ground. Other than that, it was a 5 star. I'm sure if I would have communicated that to the host, they might have taken care of the lawn issue. However, I took pics of the issue but never reported it to our host.
