Little piece of paradise

Our stay was amazing. The room was perfect and the view was incredible. Happen to meet the owners while there, who were so kind! If anything I would suggest black out curtains for the living room. Found out last minute we were taking MIL who slept on the very accommodating and comfy pull out couch. It was just bright in the mornings. Definitely not a deal breaker by any means bc there was so much to love! Thank you Ms. Betty for sharing your little piece of paradise.

ONLY Drawback was Beach Restoration

All was as expected thanks to communication with property owner who gave us advance notice of beach restoration taking place in front of property during our stay. Betty went over & beyond & quickly responded to the many questions my husband & I had about the restoration process - - even sending pics & videos so we knew exactly what to expect. I realize beach restoration won’t be a factor for future guests, but wanted to share given the awesome experience with the property owner. Condo was very clean, comfortable & exactly as presented /described on line (…bathroom was actually larger than expected - - always a plus). We will definitely check availability to stay here again on future visits to SPI!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome

Great location, and closest proximity to the beach ever. This is the third condo we’ve stayed at, and this one by far had the most convenient beach access. It was perfect and we would definitely return again. The owner was fantastic and worked with us as we had to reschedule several times. Can’t wait to return! Love SPI!!

About the host

Hosted by Betty Vanzant

We relocated to South Padre Island in 2007 from Austin, TX. Truly a dream come true!

Why they chose this property

Family vacations were always spent on South Padre Island. AND almost always in Florence I. It was a great place then and it's still a great place today! Now our grandchildren love it too!

What makes this property unique

This condo is on the 6th floor with an amazing view. The sunrise is breathtaking in the mornings, the afternoon shade on the balcony is a great place to read or nap or watch the waves, and the moon on the water is unbelievably beautiful! Fireworks on Friday & Saturday nights from April through October can be seen from the balcony, the pool area or standing on the beach. **Umbrella and 2 beach chairs available upon request. $50 cash deposit to be refunded with security deposit after checkout. No rental fee for these items.
