The house was cozy. The king size bed was so comfy. The deck was so nice at night.

We stayed here for 4 days. It’s a very well maintained cute home. I love how close it is to everything. It had most of everything you needed. Kinda disappointed the hot tub was gone.

Stayed at Harbor Island Drive, Port Isabel. Booked thru VRBO in March for a 5 night June stay. Was redirected to Vacasa. While booking the photos and information posted looked good and matched our wants and needs. This is an expensive rental. Upon arrival we were given a door code without meeting anyone. Our first discovery was that the air condition unit was broken. Port Isabel/South Padre Island in June is between 90 & 100 degrees. Called the Vacasa national phone number. They took my complaint and then contacted the local Vacasa "General Manager". Air Conditioning was repaired within hours. Not a good start. We drove seven hours from our home to this property towing our jet skis. We partially decided to rent this property because it had a boat dock and boat lift. Those items were included in the photos and written description. Upon arrival we discovered a sign and ropes preventing access to the private boat dock stating "Keep Out". Called and spoke to local "General Manager". He said the owner doesn't want people using the boat dock. Was finally granted permission to use the dock but not the boat lift. Not a good start again. Then we discovered that the Hot Tub that was in the original photos and description was gone. "General Manager" says the owner took it out. I just checked and the original photos of the hot tub are still listed on VRBO. Another reason we booked this house was because it had photos of a nice two car garage in which to store your stuff. Photos of garage are of an empty garage. Guess what, the owner has large multiple watercraft in the garage with signs on them stating don't touch. Our expected storage was greatly reduced and not what we expected based on the photos and description. Guess what? Those photos are still being used as of a few minutes ago. Some other smaller issues are ROACHES in the kitchen, light bulbs burned out throughout the house. We still ended up paying the full listed price. We did get a voicemail from the General Manager asking for a good review. Said he needed a "Good Quarter".

I loved the fact that it was on the water yet still close to walmart and shops. The beds were very firm, which I was ok with, but some may not like it as much. The house is very clean and nicely decorated. TVs in every room.

Only negative was the check in check out times. Driving from so far, we felt rushed to leave.

From start to finish, they did a fantastic job of providing a welcoming place, with tasteful decorating, soft towels, comfortable bedding. They provided top-notch service with excellent communication. I definitely will rent again!

My family really enjoyed our stay the house was big enough for my family of 5 equipped with board games a fully loaded kitchen. Walmart and Heb a few blocks away along with restaurants and gift shops. Honestly 2 days of our vacation we just simply enjoyed the house so much we called and extended our original dates. The electric did go out I placed a phone call to the property management they looked into it while I was on the phone it was an power outage in the area. 20 min later the power was back on with a follow up call from the manager. I love that under the circumstance and that being completely out of there control they did keep open communication to insure we where comfortable 🥰

Harbour Island house was a breathe of fresh air. Everything was so well maintained, you can tell that the owners take pride in how it looks & presents to their guests. The living room, the bedrooms all the kitchen items available to us, it really felt like you could just move right in & everything was provided.
The hot tub was a nice surprise & afternoon sunsets out on the deck was lovely. We really enjoyed the proximity to the marina just at the other end of our street so we could launch our kayaks & so many restaurants & services were just around the corner.
We really liked the touches of artwork & various historical maps throughout the house.
Plenty of parking available in front of the house & we used the empty double car garage to safely store our kayaks.

BIG thank-you to the owners for allowing use of their fabulous property. Also, BIG thanks to the Vacasa staff (Christina, Stevie & Amy) who did a great job of getting our group relocated in speedy time & with minimal hassle to our family, your efforts were greatly appreciated.
We look forward to booking this house again & to working with the Vacasa experts who provided excellent customer service.

Many thanks from El Minions.

Perfect home for vacationing with older children. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, soaking in the hot tub and the easy access to town and South Padre beaches. Kitchen was spacious and views from the living room were nice. Would recommend.

This is a nice house in an awesome location. Right on a canal, close to bait shops, Walmart, and HEB. Only a 6-10 min drive to South Padre Beach access.
The house is nice, but there were a few large cockroaches inside and out to deal with each day. We also only got one roll of toilet paper for the four day trip, so bring your own! I loved having a washer and dryer in the house. The neighbors were also super nice.

We had a wonderful time! We brought our elderly uncle and 30 year old son, the apartment below was the perfect set up for them. We also have 2 older dogs and the set up for them was perfect too! My only complaint is the camera in the boat dock area. We found a paddle boat in the garage, my husband and son put it in the water (paddling and fishing off that thing was the highlight of the property for me). We went to explore the area and when we returned the property manager was on property (in the middle of a pandemic) removing it from the water...for “liability reasons”. The self propelled paddle boat is reserved only for the owners. We felt so creepy that they were watching us that we never went back down to the boat dock, we fished from the top deck from then on. Don’t touch the paddle boat and fish from the beautiful dock upstairs and you should be fine.

From start to finish, they did a fantastic job of providing a welcoming place, with tasteful decorating, soft towels, comfortable bedding. They provided top-notch service with excellent communication. I definitely will rent again!
