Being directly on the beach was great, however the three super small balconies barely fit two persons at a time on them. While the unit itself was clean inside, the area outside was very dirty especially the stairwell. The beds were basically air mattresses which squeaked while moving around on them and not very comfortable. The pool area and the ocean facing deck were very nice. We would consider coming back to this property because of its location on the beach, but would definitely not come back to this particular unit.

We enjoyed the beach view and space.

We had a good time at the beach! The condo was nice with lots of room for 5 to spread out, and the property manager was easy to deal with. The one thing we needed fixed they fixed asap. The condo is on the 3rd floor, no elevator, which wasn't an issue for us but might be for some.

The unit is old and not worth renting in its current state. I took it for the 3 bathrooms( passing other better options) but one of the bathroom troubled all through the stay and not fixed in-spite of repeated messages. The entrance way to the unit in a way gives a picture of whats in store behind the doors. Flooring is so bad/old, cant think of walking barefoot. The location and view of the beach is the only saving grace.

Took our crew on a mini vaca and has a great time!!

Really enjoyed our stay, great ocean views! Would make a big suggestion and call the master as the downstairs bedroom with the small balcony. Upstairs bedroom with skinny winding staircase good for teens or young adults. Could use some soap and a good spray wash on balconies. Too bad 3rd bedroom doesn’t have a window, if you are claustrophobic, do not take this room, but great for sleeping in, (a ceiling fan would go a long way in adding some sort of sound or feeling of air in that dark room). Overall fun and easy going, great access to beach. Updated kitchen had all we needed. I don’t know why when you call and ask if there is a Keurig, they say, “no” (because there is a Keurig:) We had 5 people no problem. Had a great time. .

This unit works well for us and our pups with plenty of space for our adult children. Love the upstairs bedroom because I can see the ocean directly from bed.

Was wonderful to get away from home and enjoy South Padre. Condo was very spacious. We loved the balconies for the sounds of the waves and beautiful sunrises. Proximity to the beach was perfect. Management has definitely addressed previous reviews. Trick to the master bedroom a/c is to keep the door closed. We would love to stay again.

I can't say enough about this property's location. The beachfront condo allows easy access to the beach, a wonderful view from each balcony, and it's close to the pool. Be advised there is no elevator and it's on the 3rd level, so there are stairs to climb. This was not a problem for us but it might be for some. The condo has plenty of space with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The washer and dryer are very handy and actually work very well! There is a large table the is perfect for dinner or games. I really liked the large mud--room where we could leave our beach bags and hang our towels, keeping sand out of the condo. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Now for a few things that need improvement. One of the showers had not been cleaned and had hair in it. (room right by living room) It also drains very slowly and the toilet doesn't flush right so I suspect a clog in the line. This needs to be addressed. Obviously at the beach in a humid environment, mold is an issue.. However, just clean the vents and bathroom wall with some bleach spray and your guests won't be looking at mold. None of the tubs had stoppers, so the listing should state "showers only," or buy $2 stoppers. Please update your listing to say "coffee pot" not Keurig, as we brought all supplies for a Keurig only to find a coffee pot. Kitchen needs more forks, as there are only 6, and this condo sleeps 8. The patio furniture is ridiculously large so you have to squeeze out onto the balcony to sit down. It's time for an upgrade. The upstairs patio has no furniture at all. The guest bedroom sliding door is so rusted it is nearly impossible to access the balcony. Don't lock the deadbolt because it is very difficult to open with the key. I really thought we were going to have to go get assistance when it finally opened. Adding a broom and dustpan, and some pot holders would be very helpful. Lastly, the rug in the living room is getting ragged and the corners are curling up causing a tripping hazard. As stated before, this condo could be SO GREAT with just a few improvements that would cost very little. I have stayed in many condos in Texas and Florida and maybe my expectations are high, but I do expect a clean place. It also it disappointing to see such a fabulous condo in the best location in need of simple updates and fixes. Please see my review as an opportunity to make your condo fabulous!

This rental was advertised so well that we were very surprised when we arrived to find several of the amenities did not work. The AC did not work in 2 out of the 3 rooms, the fridge and microwave did not work and a toilet continuously had issues with flushing. Property management was quick to respond to our calls and had someone out to take a look at the toilet and fridge but did not follow up on the issues. It felt as if this unit was the only functioning unit in the building since construction crews were present during our entire stay and would start working early in the morning which made it hard to enjoy the room or sleep in at all. Overall, this unit felt dirty and as if it wasn’t well kept and did not help provide a relaxing atmosphere for our family vacation.

The unit was as listed. Plenty of space for a family of 6 to be comfortable. View from 2 bedrooms and the living room.

We loved our stay here! It was perfect for our large family with 6 kids! Definitely would stay here again!

The property was clean, the views were amazing, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the rooms were large. We loved that it was so pet friendly and we enjoyed sitting out on the boardwalk when we weren’t on the beach. The outside of the property definitely needs some TLC but all of the common areas were very well kept. We wished that there had been some furniture on the balconies so that we could have spent more time enjoying them. These owners have done a great job with an older property.

You really can't pick a better location to stay on the beach. Sitting on the balconies you feel like you might as well be sitting on the sand. The beach is also a short walking distance to Clayton's beach bar. There is a great little boardwalk on the property facing the beach with new patio furniture to enjoy. The staff on site is also very friendly and helpful. The unit itself has a little wear and tear, but overall is a great value considering the amazing location and surrounding facilities.

We were very happy and enjoyed our stay! 3 kids loved the pools and beach so close. Adults loved the view and sounds of the ocean as we slept! 😊 Would stay here again.

This was a very comfortable stay for our family of 8. The complex is nice. Beach access for this unit is the best I’ve experienced on the island. My only caveat is that the property makes the entire family wear bands that cannot be removed for the entire stay. They should switch to removable elastic bands for use on the property, pool, etc., so you don’t have to wear it to shower, sleep, along with any other bands required for excursions elsewhere on the island.

Location was good but building needs upgrading and the unit was not clean. Kitchen could have more pots and pans.

The property was conveniently located next to the beach and near the pool. It gave plenty of room for three families with one toddler. Pool was very nice and clean.

enjoyed our stay at the Bahia Mar Villas. we were surprised to know that there was no elevators to the Villas, one of our group members has problems with his knees and it was a struggle for him to go up and down the stairs. Also surprised to know that the master bedroom was upstairs. Otherwise the accommodations were exactly what we were looking for.

The Management of the Bahia Mar was questionable. However, this room and location were great.

Close to the beach, plenty of space for everyone. Condo equipped with dishes and some pans, but that is about it. Amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico. Staff who runs the property is not friendly and if you want to rent canopy and chairs better be there when they open (they have no set time for the office). You are required to wear bracelets during your stay.

Excellent time at SPI and the resort was beautiful

Great time. Nice place

This was such a great place. The condo was very nice and great location. The security crew was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay Thank you!!

The property has 3 balconies that face the beach. They all have a great view. It is a located on nice gated property with two large pools. You can rent beach umbrellas and chairs from the office which was a big help. It did not appear that the condo was owned and lived in but was rather owned by the property. It was a great place for my family and our dog. It is located on the north side of the island easily walk-able to Claytons and Wanna Wanna bar. The property was a little dated but it is pretty much the norm for the surrounding properties.

I enjoyed my stay!!!
