Grandpa's Beach House was absolutely perfect for our family's stay! We were able to escape the hustle and bustle of the island, but be close enough for quick trip to the beach. Property was clean and location was quiet. Thoroughly enjoyed out stay!

We had a fabulous time at grandpas beach house. The home was very inviting and comfortable. It is located within walking distance to many restaurants and bars, shopping, banking and the library. Only a few minutes drive to the nearest beach. Port Isabel is a lovely place to stay for the winter. Would highly recommend it!

Quaint Little Bungalow
The cottage was surrounded by its own little tropical oasis, that made feel it very private & secluded. The home provided a comfortable setting for our stay, and we enjoyed the central location for birding the hotspots on SPI & the mainland.

Here is a breakdown by pros & cons:Pros:Cute older quirky bungalow!Check-in was smooth, owner responsive to textsHouse was very clean, front exterior neatly trimmed & inviting A/C was greatSimply Safe alarm system and we were given code to use Comfortable living roomNice bath towelsFenced backyard for dogs was great.Location very convenient to Walmart, HEB, bridge over to San Padre, good restaurants and the lighthouse.Quiet neighborhood Cons:Next to an empty old apartment building with broken windows, other neighbors had nice placesBathroom is very tiny, and shower was awful!It probably needs a new shower head and get rid of Saran Wrap shower curtain. Mattresses were ok, linen & pillows need to be replaced Toaster & toaster oven did not workNo dishwasher Lukewarm water in kitchen Lots of extension cordsHodgepodge pans that need replacing Typically I don’t care about exteriors, and don’t count them in the reviews, but this was heavily marketed as an oasis.Backyard is very overgrown The numerous banana and mango trees are nice, and the shade was appreciated, but trim up and get rid of dead leaves There were some sort of weeds that were 6” tall instead of lawn.My advice to owner would be go to Costco or Home Goods, replace sheets, mattress pads, pillows, shower curtain, bath mat, shower head, pans & toaster. Have the backyard look as nice as front. This will most likely net you 5 star reviews and happy renters.

A great place to stay
We enjoyed everything about this place. A nicely decorated home with all of the necessities. My kids really enjoyed the backyard with all of the foliage. It is very convenient to local restaurants, the fishing pier, and the bridge to the island. If we ever return to the area, we will stay here again.

Cozy Cottage
The property was as described in the listing. The home was cozy and perfect for our needs. Easy access to the Island and to get to the road back to Brownsville. Backyard was really neat! Due to the recent rains the mosquitos made it hard to enjoy it too much, but that was everywhere and not an owner issue. Owner had wonderful communication prior to arriving which I appreciated. We would stay again!

Great Spot
We really liked this place, the house itself is great. It could use a few standard things like a sponge/scrubber, a hair dryer, some coffee to go with the keurig is usually pretty standard too. But it’s a very cute house and I absolutely love the jungle vibes and all the plants.
That said, as others have mentioned, the fees for this place are absolutely insane. The nightly price is nowhere near what is listed because the fees are so incredibly high. Our fees ended up being 40% of the total cost. We spent way way more than we wanted to in the end and I don’t think I would book again because the fees are just wild.

Worst Nightmare Ever
I can never possibly explain the worst nightmare that happened upon arrival for my 40th! This place was NOT cleaned prior to arrival, bug infested everywhere! My poor dog got bite by a spider recluse in the right eye an hour after arrival. $$$ later getting him better and still no response from Vrbo. I can’t post pictures of the incidents! How is it fair. Cockroach’s/waterbugs in the light of ceiling fan in main bedroom. Bugs alive in bed just absolutely disgusting and the contact was useless! Can’t trust this place. Don’t take your pets if you actually choose this place and I highly recommend against renting here!

Some good, some not so good!
We loved the location of this property—close enough to walk to the things we wanted to see in Port Isabel and just a very short drive over the bridge to South Padre Island.The backyard was as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. Unfortunately (especially as someone who brought a young child who wanted to play in the yard and paid an extra fee to bring our dog)—the backyard was covered in dog stool and there was nothing to clean it up with. We had to contact the owner to be able to access the personal shed to get a shovel to clean up 15 mounds of dog poop. I understand that this was the previous guests’ responsibility to clean up after their pet—but it would be nice if supplies were available to clean up after your pet (since it’s a pet-friendly location) and if the cleaning crew checked this as part of their service before giving the okay for the next guest to come in. The back porch was so nice. We loved the window from the kitchen that looked out onto the backyard. I do feel like it should be disclosed that the bathroom is not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. The entry is extremely narrow. The shower is a completely tiled stall shower with nothing to hold onto. Had either of my elderly parents been with us, I would not have felt safe with them using this shower. It was definitely hard to shower a small child in it!I also had to spend over an hour dealing with the host trying to figure out the alarm system that was not working. Very frustrating.
