 Amazing!, July 14, 2009
By Byanka (San Antonio, Tx)
This condo is so spacious. Loved having two decks to enjoy. The house is so thoughtfully equipped. The location is great. Definitely would love to stay again.
 
By Pam Smith (Austin, TX)
This spacious A-frame home is eye candy and an artist's retreat. You'll find Lucinda "Sandy Feet" right downstairs & available for professional sandcastle lessons; I highly recommend them. The large kitchen and open floor plan give you more than enough room for all kinds of entertaining...from the piano, pool table (fun & relaxing), puzzles, tv, and IPod stereos to BBQ'ing w/blended drink in hand on the back porch, or just relaxing while you draw, paint, or have breakfast on the front porch while the sun rises to the east. This is my fav. place on South Padre Island, except maybe the beach.
