Was very clean, lots of room for everyone, the Kids enjoyed the pool, it is very close to the beach, lots of restaurants near by. Sheets for pullout bed too small, could have used some extra blankets, A/C works terrific , both balcony doors were hard to get closed probably due to humidity, the outside front rocking chair was broken but probably an easy fix. All in all a great stay was had by all and we would return again

Excellent choice
We wanted a location close to the water but one that afforded other options. This had a heated pool, pickleball court and a dock out back for fishing! Perfect for the family!!

I almost feel like I should give this place a bad review so no one else discovers our new favorite place to stay on Padre Island! However, I will say this place was great! Very accommodating for my family, close to the beach and comfortable!

Location is wonderful and there was lots of space for our group, my only feedback was the lack of kitchen supplies provided, last year we stayed a couple of doors down and the kitchen was fully stocked with adequate utensils and cookware though this wasn't the case this time, BUT we did enjoy the air fryer.

The location and property are great. The only drawbacks were the mosquitos that made it impossible to enjoy the balconies (bring repellent) and the tiny frying pan that had no anti-stick material, so we could not cook a large meal and or clean the food off the pan. Other than that, we had fun fishing and hanging out at the great pool. We will likely return.

The Star Fish’ Inn was a great spot for our group of 7. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, and there was always plenty of hot water for showering. The house was clean although my allergies did flare while there. Maybe last users had a pet there.? My only complaints are with the pool cleanliness at the resort. It doesn’t take long for the water to get cloudy, so googles are definitely needed or your eyes will get irritated. The house itself was great...does need some new water hoses.

Our fishing rods were stolen off our private porch in the back by the bay, called office staff about the issue and they said they would get with there team members & definitely get back to us that day. And up to this day nobody has got back to us! One of those fishing rods had very sentimental value to us it belonged to a love one that has passed. House was dirty. And ice machine made horrible nose all night that didn't allow our guests in the livingroom to sleep.

We have stayed everywhere near White Cap Beach in this general area and this condo was the best one yet with the exception of pesky mosquitos that can't be helped and the sight of some roaches that I am sure can be cured with better pest control to the unit. This is the only reason I could not give full stars but otherwise LOVED IT. Everything in this condo was spotless and well cared for. It wasn't like some places that seem over stayed and worn down or miss used. You can tell the owners of this unit take very good care of the place and make sure guests feel at home. All decor and furniture are very modern and even new. Kitchen is upgraded very nice and everything was in working order. They even have one of those nice ice makers with the soft ice nuggets, a Ninja brand air fryer and blender, and nice Keurig coffee maker for you. The housekeeping is superb. Towels and linen felt all sanitary and clean like a hotel. The extra linen in the closet was wrapped in plastic to keep clean as well. We could not get over the amount of beds in this condo and amount of space we had for a 3 bedroom. 3 bathrooms with showers made it so much easier for our family of 5 to get ready in no time. Outside we enjoyed the decks both upstairs and downstairs and loved that we had nice views from the water, even from bed. Fishing was such an easy thing to do anytime of day or night and even though we did not use, we noticed a nice paddle kayak outside. Evenings outside with some cold beverages was so pleasant here. Again our only downside was the fact that there were many mosquitoes during our stay in June and we did see roaches hanging from small babies to medium sized in the kitchen only within the first few hours of our arrival with no opened food on the counters. We believe both mosquitoes and roaches could be due to the large concrete drainage pipe that is located just under and very close to this unit outside that drains to the bay.Will stay again though if managed.Thanks for the stay

Beautiful property
This property was beautiful and we had great family, friendly fun. The only big downside was that the description included pool towels and beach towels but there were only a few bath towels and were highly discouraged to use bath towels for pool or beach or we would get charged additional costly fees. So only suggestion is remove description of pool/beach towels provided or encourage renters to bring own towels.
Also, no extra blankets provided. Bring your own blankets!
