Our family of 11 just spent a week in this house. We found that it met our needs very well, and would recommend it to others. The home was clean and well equipped. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The pool is delightful, and the beach is not more than a five minute walk. Plenty of furniture around the pool. There is a wagon and a lot of sand toys for use, along with chairs you can take to the beach. I made a full Thanksgiving dinner, and the kitchen provided everything I needed in terms of equipment except a large roasting pan and pie plates, satisfied by purchasing aluminum pans at the store. The HEB at Port Isabel is an awesome store, but the Blue Marlin on South Padre is very nice also. The beds are comfortable. Bathrooms all function well. The TV in the main sitting area was great for watching the World Cup. The bunk bed room worked great for grandkids. The owner took great care of us, providing two new high chairs for our little ones and sending the housekeeper over when we couldn’t locate the pack and play. A few things to consider when renting this villa: As mentioned in other reviews, you hear all of the footsteps, chair movement and door closing from the second level when trying to sleep on the first, so plan your bedroom occupants accordingly. The tables and chairs in the dining area are counter height. Was not an issue for us, but mentioning for the benefit of guests with physical handicaps. The living room area lacks any kind of table or floor lamps, so when your crew turns out the overhead light to watch TV, you are out of luck if you are a reader and will have to go to your bedroom or bring along a reading light. This was off season for South Padre, which we found to be great since the beach was not crowded. However, note that many restaurants were closed for the season. Louie’s on the bay was a great spot to take a big family group, and they were open for business! Thanks to Lyly for a great villa that got a thumbs up from all 11 of us! We will carry some wonderful memories of the past week on South Padre.
