The pelicans love the stuff that's thrown away I would have given 5 stars, however my son and I were the first ones there. We knew we wanted to get on the back of the boat. The ticket lady suggested it. So we stood first for about 10 min prior to leaving. Then 2 "regulars" and their friends cut in front and went right to the back of the boat before anyone else. Of course they hauled in a ton of fish, but we still had fun and made memories. Maybe next time, just a suggestion, honor those that got there first.

Had a small issue with one of the kayaks, the staff helped us and made sure the new one offered the comfort and room requested. Sounds simple but the process was kind, attentive and genuine.

South Padre Island, Texas, was not somewhere my family went for a little R&R while I was growing…read moreup. That was more the Corpus Christi and Port Aransas areas. I always wondered why not further south? I think it just meant more driving for my dad. Lol. This resort town is incredibly laid back. If you're searching for upscale dining and shopping, go elsewhere. Head to Dallas! Lol. The people are mostly friendly. The beaches weren't pristinely clean, but most areas we went to were not waste-ridden. These waters were very calm and soothing when we were here in late May 2025. There is tar, but not to the extent that Kaitlyn B. complained about in her Jun 1, 2025 review. Not in my experience. If it gets on your skin, use an old wash rag or a paper towel and baby oil. Clothes are a little tougher. Just don't put them in the dryer because the stains will set even deeper. In the area that I can recommend for nature lovers: + Butterfly Garden + Isla Blanca Park + Sea Turtle Inc. + Whaling Wall + Bonus: Sea Shell Beach (so many shells + free parking, but no restrooms!) Take the State Park Rd 100 (aka Ocean Blvd) all the way north past the South Padre Island Convention Center. You can't miss it. The road ends. Don't be scared. Be cautious of standing water and lots of sand in the roadway, though. Be adventurous, have fun, and please manage your damn trash properly & dispose of it when you go back into town!

This was excellent. We scheduled my 12 year old son for a surfing lesson. It was fantastic. We felt…read morevery safe and confident in the instructors. Our son had a great experience. He had never surfed before, but half way through the one hour lesson he was able to stand up on the board and ride. Very happy and have to say the price for the one-on-one lesson was perfect. We only have a few days left on our vacation, but will try and get in another lesson before we leave. I highly recommend working with these folks. Great attitudes and fun with the kids.

DO NOT STAY HERE, OR USE VACASA AS YOUR HOST! Check in was…read moreto be 4pm and at most places you can check in early. We waited until 4pm, went up to the door and punched in the code. Once we opened the door, there was stuff everywhere. Backpacks, blankets, etc.. We texted our host, who took forever to respond, and they said they would reach out to the local host. As we are waiting, a cleaning crew shows up to "clean" well AFTER check in time. Takes them 20 minutes to "clean". Then they leave. The place was not cleaned, just picked up. You could feel the sand under your shoes as you walked in. Hairs in the bathtub and on the sheets in BOTH rooms. Stains on the towels, ugh, gross. Just nasty. We always go by reviews, which had to be fake or AI, as this place was so disgusting. When we asked for a credit or refund for at least our first nights stay, we were told they were working toward a resolution, and in the end said they will do nothing to fix or accommodate us, and "hope we understand??" Really?? That's how you take care of your customers? Never again will we use this host. And after filing a complaint with Airbnb, if it's not taken care of, we won't be using them again either.
