Amazing location
This was an absolute beautiful location. Beach is right out of your door. While South Padre can be crowded this is a location that is much more isolated. Bay is a 1/4 mile walk. Pickle ball courts are near by.

Christmas in Paradise
Our stay at Portofino was perfect. We enjoyed every minute we were there. The location of this home is fantastic. Quiet neighborhood and steps from the beach. The house itself had everything we needed and was quite comfortable. We loved all of the balconies. Sunrise and sunset! The hot tub is in a really great location. Obviously, lovely at night. But, surprisingly enjoyable during the day, when you can also enjoy the sun while you're in there. Franke was great. Easy to deal with and very friendly. We are definitely looking forward to another stay in Portofino.

Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful part of island
Great place overall. Stairs are very slick and potentially dangerous if you are wet.
Kitchen is sparsely stocked. Nothing unlike most rentals. Bring a sharp knife and plastic glasses.
A few cabinets are in need of repair. Nothing that would keep us from returning.

We had a great time during Spring Break. Home is in a lovely neighborhood away from the crowds. Beach was nice and isolated with easy walk over. The hot tub takes a while to warm up, but other than that everything was perfect. Would stay again!

Location is the only upside
Pros
- Location and proximity to the beach
- Private Beach access
- Quiet (mostly)
Cons
- mattresses were beyond rock hard, lots of pain from sleeping on them and no option to make it better
- lots of property damage, wear & tear
- rust and mold everywhere
- AC was not working correctly and there was so much condensation, even keeping temp at 75 that it was dripping from the ceiling onto our belongings
- damaged and unusable kitchen cookware, very limited items to cook with in general; had to go out and buy our own
- was not cleaned well at all, especially cookware; we had to rewash everything
- broken curtain rods and missing curtains in the entire master suite
- paint on walls, baseboards and banisters were peeling and scuffed up everywhere
- tiles and ceilings cracking, it's clear the house is older and not maintained well
- missing fire alarms in some bedrooms
- TVs randomly shut off at various intervals, never figured out why; one was actually cracked down the middle
- old furniture, highly outdated and uncomfortable
- doors were difficult to lock/unlock and open; master suite door to balcony was completely unusable
Overall thoughts: For the price point you're only paying for the views and beach access. I'm really unimpressed with the quality of the property and amenities within. Glad I only had to stay there with a party of 6 for a short weekend, I don't think any of us could have tolerated sleeping on those mattresses any longer than that. Invest in better furniture and amenities for your guests. Fix up the house and get it to standards with other 4+ star options. You may be going for location, but you should be able to comfortably enjoy the place you're staying at as well. I would not return to this property, despite how wonderful South Padre waters and beach is.

Beautiful Property, Location
Excellent stay in every way: comfortable and roomy house, wonderful views and balcony hangouts and surprising low crowd (Covid?). Would stay here again and that says a lot!
A few nitpicks - the 2 sets of stairs Could be an issue for some, as is the slick tile throughout the house. The disposal seemed rusted or bent and died on our last day. The top oven start button has to be pressed hard to work and the water filter system at kitchen sink is old and we did not use, buying jugs for drinking.
But the worst thing was the mosquitos!
I’d suggest the incense kind of repellent for the balcony, candles don’t stay lit, but mainly a problem on way to & from beach.
Oh, and the construction next door is only a minor nuisance, but may bother some people more.
We had a truly good, long, relaxing visit!!

Great private get away
Perfect place if you want to escape all the covid mess. The beach was very private. Bring mosquito spray because we got eaten alive.
The house was clean. It was stocked pretty well with pans and such for cooking. No complaints really. We had a nice time there and would stay again.

Beautiful house but overdue for an update
Upon check in there should have been instructions on how to operate TVs and stereo. Very musty smell in kitchen in all cabinets. All 3 beds were super hard. A foam topper should be available. Front room couch was totally worn out, it needs replacing. Kitchen was not appointed well. No cookie sheets, pizza sheets, only one hot pad. 2 kitchen towels is not enough. I’m sure you have a list of what should be in rental properties and many things are missing from that list. Electric problem in the middle of the night! Wow! The response when we had a problem was very good. Kevin and team did a great job. We loved the neighborhood the location was wonderful. Home just needs some love. Sandi Ridenour

Second Time
This is the only VRBO rental that we have stayed at more than once. The house is nice but we love the location! It is right next to a boardwalk to the beach and the neighborhood is exclusive. That part of the beach is isolated from the busy side of the island. You truly feel like you have the beach to yourselves. I also highly recommend SPI Umbrella and Chair Rentals. They will set up your beach furniture for you and take it down every day so you don’t have to carry all of that to the beach.

Great for place for family fun on the beach
Family and kids loved it. So 5 Stars for a great time. Easy access to the beach and the property is private, secure, quiet and comfortable. However, the property really is in need of some TLC and updating on both the interior and exterior. More discriminating travelers may not care too much for the slight musty odor that permeates throughout the home due to moisture and humidity. The housekeeping could have been a touch better as well. If you have elderly family members or very young kids ... be mindful and careful of the tiled stairway leading to the second and third levels as they can be a bit of a challenge ascending and descending. If this were a hotel or resort, we would probably think twice before returning to the same property in the future. Overall impression and rating is 3.5 Stars -- though this property has plenty of upside potential with improvements. The convenience of having a kitchen to prepare family meals combined with privacy and easy beach access is a big plus.

Amazing Family Vacation!
The house was fantastic and you just can't beat the views of the ocean. There were a few updates that were needed with loose cabinets and the doors were very tough to lock but other than that everything was great. The Shores community was also very beautiful but very empty. It felt like a ghost town which was a bit odd for Labor Day. We had no complaints about this however as we had the luxury community pool to ourselves and practically an entire private beach! We rented a canopy and chairs for three days on the beach and had to do very little but walk out to the beach and relax. We had an amazing time with family and our dogs and cannot wait to go back. We will definitely stay at The Shores again!

Absolutely Great Views!! Great created memories!
Just spent 5 nights at the Portofino. Had a wonderful time with my family. Can we say tons of cabinet space in the master bedroom? Wow!! Luxury at an affordable price.
During our stay we had one kitchen cabinet fall, a little water drip in the oven area and I also notified maintenance about some shutters coming out. Response time to the issues was fast and Franke took measures to fix the issues. To me, these were minor setbacks and not destroying to our stay.
We all loved the trail to the ocean. And the Shores community is fabulous. This home doesn't have a pool, but we really didn't miss it because we were right at the beach the whole time. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very inviting. Romantic for couples and also very kid friendly. We found plenty to see on the island. I highly recommend a stay here. I am sure to be back.

Perfect location beachfront
The property is in a lovely gated community steps away from the private beach access. The house is nicely furnished and clean. There are two very steep stairwells which can be difficult if not used to stairs. The views are gorgeous and the beach is beautiful and clean. Management was slow to respond on some needed repairs, but that did not hamper enjoyment of our stay. The location is perfect.

House+location+location+location=equals your own piece of heaven on earth
Our extended family of five; Grandpa, Grandma, Son, Daughter-in-law, 7 year old granddaughter rented this home last week. It was a wonderful vacation; house is 95% of reason why it was so awesome. House is located on private beach section of Island. With two decks complete with Adirondack chairs (family room, master bedroom) that face the Gulf & two decks (extra bedroom, upstairs bedroom) that face the bay. You will have a front seat to sunrises, sunsets. Family room has comfortable furniture; will make you reluctant to get up once you sit down. Kitchen has impressive gas stove, state-of-the-art double built-in ovens, large, new refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher. All three bedrooms have uber-comfortable KING size beds. Each bedroom has it's own bath. The master has a bathtub that is big enough that the 7 year old thought it was a "baby swimming" pool; there is a large walk-in shower. The other bathrooms have nice size bathrooms with showers. Maytag washing machine & dryer must be VERY, VERY new & are wonderful. Wash machine plays a song when you lift lid; dryer has push button options that make it fun to toss wet clothes in. Those doing laundry have fun without knowing they are doing chores. Downside to house (really no downside, just an advisory: house has very slick, granite/rock tile on all floors. And they have added a shiny finish to already slippery tile. The only thing we found that did NOT slip were BARE feet. There are 17 slippery steps up from the garage to the main level; 18 more slip-in slide steps to the master. Would not recommend this for families with young kids) Beach info: there is a "public walkway" just a few steps south of the house; in 3-5 min you will be on the sand looking at the Gulf water. The walkway has a standing shower you can use to rinse off the sand that will cling to your body when you head home. A local told us that the first 3 miles of the island is inhabited; the other 30+ not. You can drive north on the beach, the whole length of the island. Need a car that wont get stuck. Further north, less people, more dunes, serenity. Recommend: Grape Vine Café & Coffeehouse (bunny shaped pancakes & amazing parent breakfasts), Original Dolphin Watch, Pirate's Landing Restaurant-Port Isabel - A+ fish tacos/atmosphere, Sea Turtle Rescue, Dolphin Whisperer-make sure you get Scarlet..we didn't but still a good experience. But Scarlet is who you want...

The Perfect Vacation!
I am very late in posting this review. We rented this home for a week in October of 2013, not the Date that posted - i could not go back to October of 2013. Anyway, you need to know how AWESOME this vacation rental was! This rental was so easy, so relaxing, so absolutely perfect! We will definitely plan to come back. But next time I would like to stay for a month! The owners were honest with no hidden "gotchas!" They were helpful and accomodating yet allowed us total privacy with no surprise drop-in visits. This home has given us many sweet memories. I can't wait to come back!
