The view was beautiful - the weather was intermittently stormy which made for incredible sunrises. The kitchen was very well stocked - even a salad spinner! The Hosts are on-site and responded immediately to any questions. They were also very helpful with local restaurant recommendations. The condo was conveniently located and even better than the pictures.

This was beyond our expectations. The beach was an easy walk from the condo. Easy access to coffee, shops, restaurants, and other activities on the island. Will definitely book again in the future.

This room hosted 8 of us for spring break. 2 separate families (both with children 10 and under) and had everything we could have asked for. The cabinets were stocked with all of the essentials and made going to the beach a breeze. The location was perfect and the pool/ hot tub was a great place to hangout. The host was very responsive and made check in/out instructions simple and easy to follow. We typically vacation in Florida and we were very impressed to find this little gem in south Padre. 10/10!

What an awesome place! Beautiful relaxing view. Enjoyed that the whole condo is on 1 level. Everything you need plus! Well stocked kitchen -could use some updated pans/skillets. But dishes etc very nice! Had Keurig and reg coffee pot. Easy walk to the beach. Dog area was nice and easy to access also. NO need to take stairs- very thankful for elevator. Also thankful for roll around cart to take luggage up to room.

Our family has stayed at Ocean Vista Tower multiple times because of its great location, but this is our first time at this unit. The ocean and beach view from the spacious balcony is bar none the best ever. We will return and hope we can nab this place again! Managers highly responsive to all inquiries.

Awesome place! Highly recommend.

We loved our stay! We wanted to bring our dog, and that was a big reason we chose this property. It is incredibly clean, very smartly decorated, and includes absolutely everything we needed for the beach (towels, umbrellas, chairs, toys, etc). The kitchen is packed with anything you can imagine. We walked to dinner two nights, but drove most everywhere else (although nothing on the island is more than a 10-min drive). We especially appreciated the covered parking spot so close to the unit. The beach is a short walk and the pool / hot tub is also close. The view from the master and the living room is simply breathtaking. I’ve stayed in a LOT of short-term rentals, and this is one of the best. The only thing that surprised me was that there was no shampoo or body wash in the bathrooms. So all you need to pack for the perfect vaca is your swimsuit and shower supplies!! We had a wonderful time, and this property was a huge reason. Highly recommend!!

This was our second time staying at this rental and both times did not disappoint. Check in/check out are a breeze, the condo is clean and spacious with a wonderful balcony overlooking the water. Great amenities and good location. We can't say enough good things about it. We'll definitely be back to SPI and when we do, this will again be the place we will stay. Highly recommend!
