Family time at the coast
We enjoyed our stay, especially enjoyed spending time taking in the view from the porch. Unfortunately the weather interfered and some of our plans were canceled. At times the wind was so strong we couldn’t stay outside. Garbage disposal did not work; label on switch would have been helpful. A couple of dining chairs were wobbly but all in all the accommodations were clean and pleasant.

not recommended at all and disappointed with vrbo.
We are frequent vacationers to Port Isabel; my son is going to school there. This is the first time that I have had to give a negative review. Not sure where to start. here is the list of issues: 1. ants in the kitchen 2. microwave didn't work 3. garbage disposal didn't work 4. Washer leaked 5. too small for 6 (ideal for two adults and a child) 6. Couldn't get kayaks in the water; the deck was too high. 7. Deck was unstable ( the left side post was not attached)

Quiet waterfront vacation
We enjoyed our short stay. We were a little concerned about the small second room, but it was sufficient for one adult. It was a beautiful location. We didn’t use the pool or golf course or any of the facilities. We enjoyed the place very much. There were a few things that I’m sure would have been fixed if we called, but we didn’t bother. There were 2 kayaks, but only one oar. Didn’t see the 2 bikes listed in the amenities. The cooking utensils were fair. Couldn’t really find a sharp knife and low on shampoo. Overall a great place.

You can't go wrong with this home .
I dont know where to start but I guess Arriving the wrong day to my cottage was the worst feeling ever on the first day of vacation . I had booked for the week after the days I arrived I immediately called the contact number on the email JUAQUIN answer and I explained I had booked the wrong days and if his home was available for wed-friday and he said someone was there that day , he contacted some of his friends that also own homes out there in Port isabel to see if their homes where available but sadly they weren't.. I told him it was fine and that I was still looking so my family and I went to chill at the beach and same time i was looking for a place to stay . I get a call back from JUAQUIN and he tells me Daisy are you still looking I'm like yessss 🙏 Juaquin tells me that the family that was staying there was checking out but that he would have to go clean the house himself and that it would be ready around 8pm .. I told him that would be perfect juaquin & his wife drove to get the house clean for us . He checked on us and made sure we had a good stay and gave us access to all everything this neighborhood offered like pool, and the gate to go in. This place is located in a perfect spot had a outdoor pool and and inside pool which are pretty big and clean .. I was only 7 minutes from spi which as perfect for day activities, at night I was able to enjoy some cold ones with my kids while fishing till 3am off our patio alot of catfish n some other kinds (live bait store is just around the corner ), this home also has 2 kayaks which was awesome to do right off your patio . Clean, awesome location, any adult or seniors or kid will enjoy . I can't wait to book again this exact home. Thank you to owner juaquin & his wife for making it happen 🙏 can't wait to book again.

Texas Winter Storm of 2021
Well this was one for the memories. We arrived the day before the Texas winter storm of 2021. The house is adorable and the location was amazing. The storm caused massive power and water outages on the island. This house did however keep a constant low trickle of water throughout the storm. We were thankful to be able to flush the toilets. All appliances worked great minus the outages. The owner was amazing with communication when I had questions about the length of outages. My elderly parents were with us and enjoyed this location as well. The kids enjoyed the deck and watching the massive fish , birds and turtles on and near the Long Island village resort. We will return! Thanks again❤️

It's a lovely house
We love this house and place. We stayed in SP hotels before but this time chose something more private. We love this village, views are great as a described. The property manager was very helpful. We came after 4pm and couldn't check in because office was closed on weekends, but property manager responded immediately and gave us access. We'll come again.

Great!
This property is great! It was very clean, cool, and comfortable. It's on a canal so we were able to fish, but also close enough to the Intercoastal to see boats and barges go by. It is located in a nice quiet area of the resort with easy walking distance to pools, put put, basketball, tennis, and more. The only drawback would be the oddly shaped second bedroom which makes it difficult to use the trundle bed, but there is a couch and a futon for additional sleeping. We really enjoyed our stay here!

A Piece of Heaven on the Bay!
My family of four vacationed for about a week. Each time we arrived "home" we were greeted with the peaceful deck overlooking the bay. There was never a time that we were unhappy. No loud parties were a distraction. The pool is amazing too! The home was perfect for us. We will definitely be visiting again.

Clean and comfortable little house, but beware of the added resort fees.
The house was clean, and supplied with everything we needed. The porch overlooking the water was a great place to hang out. But, we were not happy about having to pay an extra fee (which is far too much) at check in for use of community pool, etc. We were not interested in using any of them, and that is an exceptionally high fee even if we had been. For that reason alone, I wouldn’t stay there again.

I really enjoyed the rental, I didn’t like the $80 fee when I arrived, that should have been up fron
Other than the hidden $80!fee, the facility was excellent. I’ve use VRBO 5 or 6 yrs before they started the 3rd party rental. 3rd party are for birds !!!!
