Family Beach Vacay

Lovely time at the Tortuga by the Sea rental. It was better than expected. Beautiful, comfortable home with great attention to detail. Great for large groups to be together and have privacy with the great layout of bedrooms. Clean, convenient and just a two block walk to the beach.

We loved the property, private beach access, and proximity to the pool. Would have appreciated an extra roll of paper towels, and towels to dry dishes, but overall great experience. Would book the space again.

South Padre gem.

This property was so comfortable. Excellent floor plan for a group of three couples. Huge kitchen, dining area, gathering great room area. Excellent house size for spreading out and having your own space when you wanted. Great beds, bathrooms, well equipped kitchen (with the exception of too few dish towels provided, though not an issue). Very clean!

Fabulous

Magnificent time! House was huge and loved that everyone had their own bathrooms. Nice short walk to the beach! Could’ve used extra towels and hangers. There wasn’t any extras in the kitchen like towels, salt pepper, condiments etc. that would’ve been nice to have. Other than those small items we would definitely book again!!

Nice Place

Pros: *This place is really nice and is very close to the beach. Less than a 5 minute walk to beach *Big place *We had a leak in the kitchen sink and we called maintenance. They came literally within 10 minutes. They were very responsive. * Gated community with 24 hour security guards. Cons: *Place was a little dirty (to be expected with sand from the beach) but the vacuum does not work well at all. The floors were sandy when we first got there. We actually ended up sweeping to get a little bit of sand up in the entry way. *Check in was slow and given you can’t check in until 4:00 makes it even later. Only one person in the office at a time (understand b/c of Covid but still was slow). *It advertised towels. However there were none. They brought us a few and said they would bring more but never did. There are also no dish towels so we had to use Hand towels to dry dishes. Overall, I would stay at this place again although it is expensive. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Perfect family/friend beach house!

This home was the perfect spot for our recent visit to SPI. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 5 kids. The layout was awesome … having the kitchen and main living space on the first floor was wonderful and the bunk room was awesome for the kids. The well-stocked kitchen made it easy for us to eat all meals at the house. The proximity to the beach and pool can’t be beat. The house was in great condition, especially based on how much wear and tear the salty air produces down there. Highly recommend (just don’t book the week we want next year, ha!)!!!

Great Family House

This house was great for our family of seven with young kids. Very spacious house and super convenient to walk to the beach. Kitchen well stocked with lots of chef’s needs and garage stocked with beach toys and a wagon which was super helpful. Property management had to come out twice for a clogged toilet and clogged disposal and arrived within minutes of our calls each time and fixed the issues quickly.

Tortuga was an amazing property.

Brought my family and my sisters family. We had a great time the house was huge and only steps to beach. They had ping-pong table which was fun for the family and the beach toys were nice. However the chairs and sun canopy were nice but were pretty rusty but we made them work. The property was great and will go again.

Great home for two families with kids

We had a wonderful long weekend with our four year old and our friends with their three year old. The house was perfect for two families, so much space, everyone got their own bathroom, plenty of amenities. The house was spotless, well stocked, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Easy walk to beach and pool, and there were plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for us to use. The beds were all super comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

Very convenient to the beach and pool is a big plus

The property was very close to the beach and had lots of stuff in the garage for the beach which my kids loved. It had a community pool which was nice when we wanted a break from the beach. Everything was nice and quiet. The house was stocked pretty nicely for what we needed but if you’re planning on cooking a lot of big or extravagant meals it would take some extra planning...one oven and a four burner stove which was sufficient for us but might have been a problem if we had the whole family. It had thin towels so if that bothers you bring your own. Overall, I thought it was a great location and we really enjoyed ourselves and had plenty of space for our group of three adults and three small children.
