Our hosts Courtney and Ike were wonderful hosts. They were always available should you have any questions or need anything. Very cozy, friendly feel at Alta Vista. Our unit was clean and all the essentials were supplied. Loved the location. We were able to enjoy our morning walks around the area. If one wanted to spend time at the beach it was a short drive over the bridge to South Padre Island. Population of Port Isobel is approximately 5000, so it is a relatively quiet town. Lots of restaurants. Grocery stores nearby. Would definitely recommend this property and really hope to go back. We loved it!

The host and hostess were very helpful and passed on great information on local places to visit. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect stay for us. Owners super nice and helpful.

We loved our stay here! It was beautifully decorated and had so many neat features! Wonderful people to work with as well!

The owners are amazing hosts and very helpful. This place has everything you need, for a weekend getaway or a longer extended stay. Could not have been happier with our choice for accommodations...

It's clear the owners of the property put a lot of care into it. It's lovely, and conveniently located close to the attractions in the island. Highly recommended!

This is a quaint little place to relax while still being in close proximity to the island...my boys loved the pool. Loved the entire stay. Can't wait to come back

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Alta Vista. Our 3 young children spent hours playing in the pool, chasing lizards, and enjoying the outdoor kitchen. Alta Vista was a pleasant alternative to the hustle & bustle of S. Padre Island (but only 5 minutes away). The complex has been restored to capture the historical spirit of Alta Vista. Wonderful place!

Had an excellent experience. All I needed was there and available. My kids loved the pool and the room!

We were more than pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Alta Vista Apartments this past week. It is so inviting, quaint and comfortable. We stayed in a smaller efficient unit which was more than enough space for my husband and me. The owners were great in getting us the information we needed to access our rental, fast and easy! We loved the fact that we were able to walk directly out and almost into the pool from our room, we got in each morning... so refreshing! The court yard is a huge perk in that there is plenty of space, different areas for cooking out, dining, relaxing, even a little laundry area. We actually can't wait to come back, it was a great experience! Thank you to the owners for renovating this really cool apartment to be such a special place to visit.

This was the second year my Grandkids and I stayed in this rental, and both times I have not been disappointed! Courtney and Ike are amazing hosts, making us feel right at home! After our extended stay last July my Grandkids requested I take them back this year. Much better than staying on the Island. After a day at the beach you can relax at the pool and grill at the great outdoor kitchen. We will be back soon! Thank you Courtney, Ike and Bell for letting us enjoy your beautiful home! Gina

The entire place was very well kept amd we had everything that we needed throughout our extended weekend. We were able to make most of our meals in the unit since everything was available and in great working condition! We had a blast and we were close enough to the action that the kids had a blast with all of what Padre has to offer but far enough away that we didn't have any lights, noise, or other reasons we couldn't relax in our own space! Thank you again!!

Courtney and Ike were super nice and took great care of us! We had all of the appliances we needed and they were top quality too. Usually when I see that appliances such as blenders are provided I get cheap quality, but they had a very nice blender, tervis cups, comfy beds, quality furniture and kitchen/bathroom. We've always been happy with our stays from HomeAway.com, but this by far was THE BEST place we have found! We have agreed to book our annual trip with Alta Vista from here on out! Highly recommended!!!

Alta Vista reminds me of some places I have visited in Central Italy. Very unique place in the Valley, may be one of a kind! Very relaxing with lots of attention to detail. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. Thank you Courtney!

Alta Vista is an oasis away from the bustle of South Padre Island, with extra perks, such as the outdoor grill/eating area, the great secluded courtyard, and beautiful landscaping. We took a shot in the dark when we secured this vacation rental, and hit the bulls eye! We were late registering, so were only able to get the studio apartment (#3). At first we were concerned that the 2 of us would be crowded, but with the lovely front porch and the courtyard to spend time in, we managed just fine for 5 weeks! Courtney and Ike are so helpful with information, and it's nice having them close by. We definitely plan to return next year. Kent and Linda

Rented this cute suite for an extended weekend to take my Grandkids to the beach and it was absolutely perfect! Courtney was great and made us feel at home. Highly recommend Alta Vista! We will be back!

My stay at the Alta Vista Apartment was very nice. The place does look very rustic, which adds to the vacation aspect of the stay. The property was also clean and well-maintained. Courtney (the owner) was very sweet and very understand of certain hiccups occurred during the drive down to Port Isabel, which instantly made me glad that I chose this property for my stay on the coast. The only issue I had was that the internet was a bit slow and disconnected at times, which wasn't a big deal in my eyes. I will definitely be staying here again if I decide to visit Port Isabel in the future, and I will also recommend it to any friend that does the same.

This was a great place to stay. As we were leaving we noticed the Texas Historical Commission plaque that stated this was the oldest apartment building in Port Isabel built in 1931. This place had everything we needed and was only a short drive to South Padre Island. The the pool was shaded which made it perfect to allow my kids to continue to play in the pool after a few hours at the beach. This was a great place and I would love to come back!!!

Absolutely darling, authentic property. Amazing restoration. We will stay there again!

Only disappointment was the pool was not heated, it was hard to look at it for two months & not be able to use it !!! The outdoor kitchen was awesome! The grounds were kept beautifully !! The owners were gracious & fun to have around! So wonderful to be within walking distance to downtown! Quiet & private & clean !!! Thanks so very much for a wonderful winter retreat !!!! Jim & Sally
