Nice stay but we lost a full day dealing with repair people

We had a nice stay at your property, however we had to spend an entire day (from 8:15 am to 9:pm) dealing with a non functioning wifi. ( mon July 18) My wife had to bring her work laptop to keep in touch with her clients and do some daily work. The wifi did not work and we contacted the property Mngt. They were very responsive and started trying to fix the issue immediately. It ended out being a larger issue and we had to basically stay in the unit while different people came to troubleshoot. The problem was finally resolved at about 9:15 with the help of a spectrum technician. We had planned to go the beach and out to dinner, but had to stay to let people in and out. We hope that the cost for that day will be refunded as we were unable to leave. Thanks

Property is good for families.

This is right next to the pool so we could occasionally hear kids at the pool. I emailed Lisa questions after booking and never heard back from her. 3 days went by and I finally got my questions answered via text message after the mangangment company reached out regarding check in.

Excellent condo for the family!

Great condo with cute decor, super clean, comfortable beds, and plenty of room for our family of 5. Pool was awesome and right outside the unit. Even being so close to the pool, it wasn't noisy inside the unit! Quick walk or drive to the public access beach. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful Stay!

We came down to Padre for Spring Break for the week. Communication with this property is A+++! So friendly, accommodating & quick to reply. My kids (ages 17, 21 & 25) along with myself and hubbie loved Big Shell. It's decorated & styled SO CUTE & the location is perfect right out front is the pool. Beach is within walking if you aren't hauling a lot, but we had a bunch so we drove over. Big Shell is pet friendly, which is nice. Towels were plush and bedding nice & soft. A/C worked great. Ice maker in fridge & fridge kept everything ice cold! My kids (and ME) loved the Galaga video game in bunk room. TV was easy to use & had streaming as well. Blender in kitchen, plenty of pots & pans and dishes etc. The only thing missing for our stay was a muffin pan (I know it's random lol) I made St Patty's Day green muffins. I made it worked though by using a glass casserole dish and just had them next to each other, :) Couches were comfy (I slept on one two nights due to snoring husband LOL) Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and adding to a lifetime of vacation memories.

Great beach getaway

This property was just what we needed for our weekend at the beach. Condo was clean and exactly as advertised. The property management was extremely helpful and easy to work with. Location near a drive on beach and the on-site pool were great. My only suggestion would be to stock a few additional towels and think about including beach towels as they are bulky to pack. Will definitely consider staying again on our next trip to the beach.

Fun trip for my Girl Scout troop

The condo was cute and comfortable. Walking distance to the beach and the pool was great. The kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as most VRBO I have stayed in and the fridge didn’t have working ice or water. Otherwise it was a great place.

Great stay

We had a great weekend at this property. Pictures were very representative of condo, except pool smaller than pictures seemed to show. Rooms were good size with nice beds. Only real issue we had was that the trundle beds had sand in sheets making them think they weren't changed from last time. Other than that condo was very clean. Loved the gated personal patio outside. We were right outside the pool which was very nice with kids. Plenty of bbq pits. About 20 minute drive to Port A downtown, but 5 minute drive to beach. Property management very easy to work with.
