We were so happy that Lisa was our host for our first trip to South Padre Island! From the week of arrival on, she was checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, and were comfortable. When we arrived, we asked her ideas of where to eat, as it had been a long drive and we simply needed someone knowledgeable to get us to the ‘best’ first dinner on the island. Lisa was so patient on her Friday night, texting us ideas and tips! Throughout our stay, it was such a comfortable feeling to have Lisa’s help with any questions. Having a wonderful host is such a bonus! Now for the condo. It is even more beautiful and ‘homey’ than in the pictures. The view of the water, of course, is gorgeous - and can be seen from the living room/kitchen as well as the master. But even at night, Lisa’s décor and perfect warm lighting was so inviting. The lamps, the colors, the soft throw blanket…all created such a cozy feel – and not something so easily attained, at least in our experience of renting vacation places! It also checks so many of my ‘must-have’ boxes for comfort and relaxation, such as "quiet place, comfy King bed, drip coffee pot"...I cannot recommend this place more for all it has to offer; and as far as hosts are concerned, if there was a ‘perfect’ host score, Lisa would be over the top. An absolute joy! Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your beautiful home and view - and your expertise on the island- to make our first trip so much easier. We can't wait to come again!
