All in all we had a good time but....
So the home was nice and it was pretty clean upon arrival. We had a good time while there. But.. we had an issue with our neighbors downstairs, which is part of the same building so I'm assuming the same company owns it. They were blaring music outside on their patio, very drunk, and very loud until 4am every night that they were there. When I signed my contract to stay there I agreed to rules such as quiet time from 10pm-6am, so the neighbors should've signed the same thing. I rented the place thru this company so I believed they were who I should contact with issues. Boy was I wrong... I tried contacting the company to see if there was something that could be done about said neighbors because they were so loud they were keeping my children, my family, and myself up all night, I was told there's nothing they could do about it and to try calling the cops. What's the point in even having rules set if nothing is done when they are broken? I'm not one to complain about things typically but this was completely out of hand. All in all the place was decent but don't go there with family or children because you probably won't get any sleep if you have rude neighbors like we did, and the company isn't going to do a thing about it. If your going to party you picked the right place!

Trip to South Padre
We liked the property and it was very clean. The setup of the bedrooms and kitchen, shower and bathrooms was very nice. We were staying with five people but the condo is better suitable for 4 persons. The couches in living room are not comfortable tp sleep and don't fold into a bed.

Get what you pay for
The main positive for this property was that it was the cheapest nightly rate that we could find. The property did match the pictures provided. We chose not to use the pool at our own discretion after seeing it. This came with some negatives as well. Just stating facts for those that wish to rent this property in the future: The dishwasher had standing water in it when we arrived The washing machine was not clean and had dirt and grime in it The smoke detector was hanging off the ceiling in the living room when we arrived The guest bathtub drained extremely slow which led to pooling during showers The master bed was extremely firm (if you only prefer soft mattresses this is not for you) There were not spare sets of linens for beds or futons The soap pumps in the bathrooms were nearly emptied with watered down liquid soap The sponge provided in the kitchen was mildewy There were a few bugs found in the place as well
