We loved the house and the people were great to work with! No heated pool which was a bummer, but the rest was great. Right next to grocery store and walking distance to just about everything!

This property was in a nice location convenient to: grocery, restaurants, conveniences, coffee/tea shop and beach, which was a short walk to our beach access. We like having the two-apartment arrangement with each bathroom arranged for convenient use by each bedroom occupant. We used the lower dining and living area as our central gathering, and it was very accommodating. There was a short supply of large dishes, but we managed by using the medium sized ones in a mix and match arrangement. And for me these beds were the most comfortable I have had in the last few placed we have stayed during travel. The listing should be clearer about the access to the upper apartment, it was not a problem for us, but all access does require outdoor traversing, even in rain, which we had, and made us note this fact. It is a very good beach accommodation for family and organized groups on holiday.

Very short walk to the beach. Beach was very clean. Nice set up for my adult children and family. Separate upstairs and down stairs accommodations. The house was clean with the majority of all necessities available. Grocery store is down the block and very convenient. Great location.

We visit South Padre every year and this was one of the best places we have stayed. The house was spacious, clean, and in a great location. The only downside was that the pool was more like a hot tub with the TX heat so the adults did not swim. We would definitely rebook earlier in the summer. Great spot!!

Since the moment we arrived at the residence we were given a tour and was given an excellent attitude and we were provided with everything that we needed in our stay. We would definitely rent again next summer!!:))

It was a very nice property with great location. If we needed something from the store it was walking distance ,but almost everything was walking distance from there. I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting SPI.I appreciate the host they are good people.

The property was clean, it had more than enough room for my family, super close to the water/beach access. The house had all the amenities that we wanted! Much better then renting a hotel room!! The property manager Blanca met us at the property for check-in, she was super nice and went over every detail of the property. Communication was excellent! We highly recomend this property if you are looking for a nice/peaceful family vacation/getaway!

Our stay was great! The house is located in a awesome location close to everything you would want to do. The house was perfect for our big family trip! The showers outside came in handy. Would stay here again and again!

What an amazing VRBO duplex! We had two families, four adults 8 kids ( 17, 17, 14, 14, 13, 13, 11) and we had plenty of room. We would highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back again! Both duplexes are spacious, clean, and inviting with the huge sofas and two decks with places to sit. The pool was great to relax it. It is the perfect size for 6-8 people at one time. Between the two units, it was great having two kitchens, two master bedrooms, 4 total bathrooms, two living spaces, and two washer/dryers to use.
Blanca the property manager was great at communicating with us and was patient in waiting for us to arrive when we underestimating how long it would take to get over the bridge during rush hour. She made sure everything was ready for us with cable working well.
This duplex is ideal for walking distance to great beach location, grocery store, food, shops, and brewery.
The kitchen was stocked enough, but I would recommend brining paper plates and cups. I wish we would have bought silverware too, but we just ran the dishes everyday and it was manageable. We were able to do light cooking. Also, the water wasn’t hooked up to the fridge and the tap water wasn’t the best, so we bought bottled water. They provide an ice maker in the upstairs unit. You just need to keep an eye on it and transfer it. The bonus room with the futon off the master bedroom wasn’t as functional if you wanted a private master. We had an amazing time! Thanks!!!

Location is key at this property! Steps to the grocery and a block from beach access was all our families needed. Units were clean and the beds were comfy. Plenty of room for our party of 12. The Communication and flexibility with the owners was great. We had a lovely visit and hope to visit again.
Just a few things to note: only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. No dishwasher or laundry detergent, no hair dryers, and no condiments in the kitchens (salt, pepper, oil, etc.). This wasn’t a deal breaker, but we would have come a bit more prepared if we had known ahead of time.
10.0
This property was amazing!! Enough space for my family of 12. Convenient to the grocery store and a small walk to the beach. Very comfortable. The two condos was super beneficial. My parents could crash out early in the upstairs condo and not be disturbed by the rest of us in the downstairs one. 2 showers on the outside to rinse off all the sand after a beach day was a plus for our large family. The pool was also an added plus. Will definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our time at the Marineros Family Beach House. The location was great, a quick walk to the Blue Marlin grocery store and a short walk to the beach as well. We had two families staying at the beach house a total of 5 adults and 5 kids and everyone was comfortable and had their own space to rest and relax. It was clean, organized, and you could tell a lot of care was put in to making sure you quickly felt at home. The hosts were responsive and answered all our questions. Great bathrooms with plenty of space in the both kitchens. If you are looking for a location to keep family close, but also not feel crammed together your search can stop here. Book and stay at the Marineros Family Beach House and make lasting memories.

We had a great time! The house was roomy and very comfortable and clean. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach, a 2 minute walk to the grocery store and also within walking distance of icecream and restaurants. We had a 3 year old so a lock on the top gate that provides access to steps going down to the pool would have been appreciated. It was our only worry.

Take pictures
We had a great time at the property until a few days after check out. We were told we damaged the property which we didnt. The towels we were accused of ruining, we never saw. The closet we "broke" into was fine when we left. We talked to the property manager upon leaving and none of this was mentioned. They have "pictures" so we can't argue. Take pictures when you leave so this doesnt happen to you!
Also, you may need extra pillows and towels. Towels are not the best quality. Two very small pillows per bed.

Great Location!
We rented this property to spend time with our father after having had oral surgery (tongue cancer). What a beautiful place, very spacious, centralized and just a walk away to the ocean, spacious balcony and the decor throughout was very nice. The owner was very nice. I would recommend this property to anyone, you won't be disappointed!

Great location. Plenty of room.
Pool was great. House was clean. A little disappointed that there weren't that many pool floats and ones that we did have were a little dingy. One day it was very windy and alot of tree debri blew into the pool and the scimmer had a crack in it and we couldn't use it. Bed in the bedroom upstairs squeeked really really bad and it would roll to the other end of the room during the night. Lol. We did laugh about that. House is beautiful and location is great. Little grocery store near by was really not that much more expensive so it was convenient to use it. Blanca was a very sweet lady and was very attentive to any needs that we had. Our plane was coming in early so they were kind enough to let us chexkin a bit early to get settled. If we were to return to the island we would use this house again. Thank you for the experience.

Amazing Experience
What a wonderful experience we had staying here!! The house was so clean; the property had so many amenities and is located 1 block from the beach and one block from the grocery store!! Spent many evenings in the backyard pool!! The owners were very easy to work with, and the property manager was so friendly (and waited 30 minutes for us to arrive because we were caught in traffic). I highly recommend this property! A great place to enjoy some family time and to get away!!

Nice house and good host!
The house seemed renovated. It was perfect for our large family. Kids had a lot of fun in the pool. It is walkable distance from beach. We encountered minor issue which we did not notify the host about, we found a couple of roaches. The house is close to a grocery story which might be the reason why we noticed them.

Do not stay here , horrible !!!
The minute we walked in we saw roaches on the floor , bugs and ants on the kitchen counters . So instead of relaxing after a 5 hr drive , we stayed up late sweeping up the roaches and bleaching the counter tops . I notified the property owner and the only response I received was that he would have the house sprayed . The down stairs kitchen was a nightmare , we used the toaster and the power would go out Through out the kitchen !! The lights upstairs were constantly flickering and at times would go out completely then come back on . There was trash left from the previous guest , We do not recommend this house !!!!!!!

Great House, Great Location, Great Price
I've stayed at multiple locations over the years on visits to South Padre, but this was one of the best overall. The house was perfect for a larger group, and with a kitchen up and down, made it very easy for everyone. Walking distance to the Beach, the Bay, Restaurants, shopping, and Gravity Park. Priced very responably. Great Vacation!

Excellent is an understatement!
This was a great property to be on. The house was amazing and so close to the beach. It made our trips to the beach a breeze and it made our days feel full of fun. Having the house so close meant we could go back for lunches and take sun breaks if needed. The place was very clean and made it easy for all of our friends/family to stay comfortably.
