Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: My family and I had a very good stay at this condo. The location was steps away from the entrance to the beach. The condo itself provided us with all our needs. We traveled with our 3 grandkids and they all enjoyed the pool and access to the playground as well. Good stay.

A wonderful vacation

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: This condo was perfect for us. There were minor issues that didn’t bother us like the closest pool gate code not working and the fridge ice maker refusing to make ice!!! But we would stay here again and again for the great location , the wonderful pool, the cleanliness and coziness of the condo and the ease of parking. We had an amazing time in Padre and our accommodations were close to perfect !

Great place for families

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience and loved everything the unit had to offer. However there were a few things that I wish the unit came with like more toiletries ( toothpaste/ shampoo) and more towels. Our pillows also had no pillow . Other than that I highly recommend if you have little ones!

Vitamin Sea Condo review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was fabulous! We loved how there are hoses at both ends of each condo to wash off sand before entering. Two things to be aware of- the shower heads are low pressure, and the pool is full of children all the time. Great if you have kids, not if you want to relax and float around. Just a heads up. All round a great experience and would recommend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great access to pool and beach. Place was beautiful decorated, beds and couch were very comfortable. Basics provided. Pretty clean but I believe the floor was not mopped because our feet were getting dirty for the start. Had an ant issue in unit and visible at the pool. TVs in bedrooms did not work was wanting a Roku pin to do anything.

Just as pictured

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: Place was very clean, just as pictured. Everything functioned properly. Beds could use better quality sheets with higher thread count and thicker duvet. Beds were not the most comfy but not something I would deduct from my rating. Only main issue was with people using the pool and their disregard of other guests; acting inappropriately, saying inappropriate things in front of children, drinking from glassware, and their children urinating in the pool with their pants down in front of everyone. For the most part, it is a very family oriented establishment and we loved the property itself.

Great stay!

Very new! Construction still going on in the complex. Super cute place, comfy and well decorated! Great layout and plenty of space. We did not cook but kitchen appeared well stocked and beds are comfortable. We also didnt use the pool but it was a nice area. Little starter soaps are provided in case you forget yours. As an STR owner, a couple suggestions- have some soft throw blankets for lounging on the couch, provide a few beach towels and make sure the listing is clear that while pets are allowed, there is ZERO grass for them. There is a very small space (maybe 4sq ft) of fake grass the dogs can use. If you walk them across the street to the grass they will be covered in stickers.
