Walk to the Beach!
House was big and spacious for my whole family. Pool and bar area were very spacious and nice. Hosts were very communicable from the very beginning. The beach is half a block down the street with a wooden deck entrance. So many restaurants, shopping centers and even went to the waterpark. Loved the ample parking for 4 vehicles. Thank you for the stay.

Great location
The Destination Constellation was exactly what the pictures were provided. Great location, three minute walk to the beach. Pool in back was a great feature, kids spent most of their time there. Enjoyed our time there. One recommendation would be to provide, simple things in the kitchen, salt, pepper, cooking oil, coffee or pods. If you stay you’ll have to provide all needed supplies for cooking. Other than that it was a great place. Would recommend it for a great stay in South Padre Island.

Exactly as described
After having issues with some past VRBO homes, this house was a breath of fresh air. Clean, roomy, close to the beach, and of course the outdoor pool and bar area was the place to be. The owners were very easy to work with and they were very courteous. They made this experience very easy for us. Perfect location, you can't go wrong with this house.

Could use some tweaking but overall a fun place to hang out
2 adults, 2 teens (9 nights) [Edited for character count] ROOMY: Plenty to comfortably bring more kids NEIGHBORHOOD: Quiet/peaceful (A tall house being built next door has about 3 months left of construction.) PLAY: Great pool, hot tub, and games in the bar area BEDS: Comfortable COMMUNICATION: Response time is quick. 💫💫💫💫Gave 4 stars due to two things that couldn't be changed after arrival, so we didn't contact owners about it. • Lock holding the keys for check-in was already displaying the access code when I opened the flap! Anyone could have opened the case and made copies of keys. • None of the windows in the house can close all the way, so cold air constantly triggered the heater to come on. Provided little buffer from pool heater noise & dog barks at night. It's also a security concern. [Ideas for repairs/improvements] • Floors were dirty upon arrival & made our feet dirty. We cleaned them, of course. • Faucet in a bathroom is corroded, & water constantly pools on counter. • Kitchen needs serious editing. No room for our pantry items. Also, too many of some cooking items & not any of others. • Consumable supplies were skimpy. Only 2 kitchen trash bags for our 9 days. Doesn't make sense for us to buy a pack of trash bags when we only need 1 or 2 more. Please include laundry pods (4-5, depending on # of guests/week) & dishwasher pods (for 1-2 washes/day) Overall, this is a good place to stay in a peaceful neighborhood.
