Nice cabin but be aware it is on the main road through town and there is lots of noise/traffic.
5.0 / 5.0
Huge master bedroom upstairs on 3rd floor. Kids loved the bunks on the 1st floor. Living area is on the 2nd floor. Every floor had a door to go outside and see the water.

I loved that we were so close to the island and near the city as well for emergency needs.. Got to watch the sunset and the fireworks from the balcony deck! It was a dream stay! 10x10
4.0 / 5.0
After a pretty complicated beginning it got better. I appreciate the management taking care of the situation as promptly as possible other than getting a curtain the day before departure. It was nice to be on the water. My husband likes to fish, so being a a fishing pier was convenient. I wasn’t aware there were two sets of stairs but we managed to navigate through.
4.0 / 5.0
Felt very comfortable and at home there. Nice and quiet. Close to everything. HEB and Walmart about 2 miles away. Literally a few blocks from the causeway to South Padre Island. We went to the beach access on the island during the week and ate and stayed in Port Isabel. Only negative is there is only parking for one car in front.
3.0 / 5.0
This condo was clean and a good location but could use some attention. I would say it is more for a group of guys fishing but the boat slip/outdoors is lacking. It is a huge slip but has no cleats for tie down. So bring ample rope. Our ropes were not long enough on our bay boat. Also there are no outside lights to see or fish. We could not find any electrical outlets on the dock that worked also. There is a huge 20x30 deck with great views that would be amazing if there were more than 2 chairs.

Everything was very nice clean and comfortable. The A/C is a little loud but not too bad. Be careful if you bring a boat there is no trailer parking otherwise great place to stay very convenient for fishing.

The house was beautiful. Very close to everything. Quiet neighborhood and we caught more fish from the back porch than we did from the fishing pier.

The house was nice, but the living room couch and sofa are in need of replacing. The kitchen area was nice and well furnished. The master bedroom was nice and comfortable. The three floors were a bit of a challenge for us as we are in our 70s, but we managed climbing the two flights of stairs okay. It’s easy access to shopping and SPI. Enjoyed the stay.

We want to come back, it was that nice.

Not What We Expected
Pictures are deceiving. The room with a couch and tiny bed has no privacy- it’s completely open to anyone coming and going from the home. Pictures made it seem that the dock had a railing, for safety reasons, but the porch was on the 2nd floor patio. Towels smelled like eggs, sheets and pillows smelt musty and old. There were hairs on the sheets, dead cockroach in the washer, very limited kitchen equipment— no pot holders, 1 knife to cut food, no foil to keep baking sheets clean, master bath shower curtain was completely backwards and gross, fish scales all over the dock- getting tracked in the house, garbage can was completely full outside, and parking instructions were very confusing once you arrived— street parking is a block away, making it hard to unload for a 4 day, 3 night stay. Will not return.

Great time at Sailor’s Dream!
We liked the house, it’s location, being on the water, and the decks. The house was well supplied with pots and pans, towels, a full kitchen, washer and dryer.
4.0 / 5.0
Good location
Location is good and good amenities. Clean, well appointed 3 level condo and modern. The A/C was making a noise that made it hard to sleep so we turned it off. Lots of space but there were also lots of steps which was a tad inconvenient. The shower door in the lower level also leaked. But we would stay again.

Centrally located to everything. Loved being right on the water

Thanksgiving getaway
Hade a great time at sailors dream. House was clean upon arrival. A lot to see and do right next door at SPI. Enjoyed fishing outback in the canal. House was big enough for our family of four. Only complaint was that the beds were not very comfortable and not enough blankets/comforters

Great Space Conveniently Located
Overall, the property was great! It was very clean and had plenty of space to spread out and was a short 5-10 min drive over the bridge from pretty much anywhere on the island. Communication with the host was also great.

Beautiful property and location. Would stay again.
Just a little hard to get in the fence to the property. Other than that it's fine.
4.0 / 5.0
Good option close to everything
Pros:
Right on the channel so you could step outside and fish. There was a space to clean your catch, too.
Close to the lighthouse and some other sites in Port Isabel.
Just a few blocks from the bridge to the island.
Nice kitchen with plenty of space for cooking.
Cons:
3-stories with lots of narrow stairs. You get a real workout staying here!
Furniture is old and placement was odd. But we didn't spend much time inside, so not too big of a problem.
Downstairs bathroom has newer shower but they left the old nasty door. Clean that thing up!!!
Kitchen would be better with a few pot holders and real towels. It was hard to keep it clean with the cheapo paper towels. Also be nice to provide more ice trays since the freezer does not have an ice maker.
Install a porch light! I nearly fell in the water as we were checking in after dark!
Parking is tricky. Don't bring any more than one vehicle.
Overall assessment: decent for the price, easily accessible to the bridge to the island and good access for fishing.

Renters with a boat
The owner rebuilt most of the dock that needed repair so that was very nice. Also, they restored power to the closest outlet which is on the cleaning table and also fixed the light above the table. The cleaning table is very small though and the edges that allow water to drain are very wide and fillets can fall through. Over all a good place if you bring your boat!

Vacay the right way
We decided on fishing in Port Isabel for our family vacation and we enjoyed having a furnished home with a roomy master bedroom on the third floor and a separate bedroom for our son on the first floor. We wanted a kitchen and it had all of the cookware and dining essentials. We were able to check in at 3:00 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. which was helpful. We wanted a quiet vacation home experience and that is exactly what we got. We were within walking distance of little shops and restaurants which was convenient. The spacious deck of of the master bedroom was especially lovely. A few necessities were provided such as a couple rolls of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, some hand soap, dish soap and a new dish sponge were there ahead of time. Salt and pepper were also in the cupboard. The property was advertised as having a blow dryer but there was not one so I purchased one from Walmart. Overall, it was a lovely experience.

Stayed for 2 weeks with boat
Property is nice. If you take a boat there are no cleats on the dock so plan to bring ropes. Also, the only electric outlet to charge boat batteries is out on a weak part of the dock. There are 2 slanted board walks on each side of the dock that are lower that the main dock. They flood during high tide and are extremely slippery. My best friend and his wife both took hard falls on it....so be careful!!

Middle of the road
It's a reasonably big place with a nice dock out back. Kitchen was clean with no apparent insect issues, but bathrooms could have used some help - the tub area needed recaulking, etc. There was a fly problem when we first arrived - we had to get fly swatters from Walmart to deal with that. It's not clear to me where they are coming from, but other reviewers had mentioned this problem. They could be coming in from the outside, maybe through the air system. If you have a boat and are not traveling with perfectionists, this is a reasonable value for the money. If we were going to stay longer, I would have stayed at one of the places in the private communities with better reviews. Note that this one does not have the $80 resort fees some of the others do. It is very close to Pirate's Landing, which is a plus. If you are not a perfectionist, this is a reasonable rental for the area.

Sailors dream
Everything was fine except the downstairs bedroom was too hot to sleep in.

A sailors dream????
The home has so much potential. It has easy access to the island. Only thing was that it had a bunch of flies. On the day we arrived we were greeted by a bunch of flies on the first floor. Alive and dead. We went on with our day as the night fell the flies had multiplied. We closed the door to the first floor so they wouldn't go to the other floors. Sadly we still had flies. We had to go to Walmart to buy fly tape. Also the upstairs bathroom head had mildew. We couldn't use the first floor since the walls and ceiling had flies.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect vacation home
It was the perfect little getaway for me and the family. Especially if your looking for somewhere to relax & fish it don't get any better. The house is beautiful & super clean. Also has every essential needed. We absolutely loved it... we definitely recommend & will be coming back...
