| My family which included my husband, our two boys 6 and 4, my father in law and my parents drove from Austin to SPI mid afternoon on Friday. We arrived by 10:30 pm. It was a bit of a drive, but it was very worth it. We found the house with no problem even though it was dark. When we opened the door, it was such a great welcoming. The house was perfect - spotless, great layout, extremely comfortable beds and a short walk from the beach. It was our first time in SPI and we all had a great time and having such a great place to stay was a major part of it. |

This was our 2nd stay at the Johnson's beachhouse.
And it was just as awesome as our first. The house
is perfect for our family with kids. And everything
that you could possibly need is in it. We love the
hot tub and the jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom!
We had perfect weather for our entire 9 day visit!
The house is great because my husband goes down
to the beach each morning and sets up our Easy-
Up tent to mark our space and we can come and go
as we like throughout the day. Thanks again for the
great house to stay in for our summer family
vacation! |

Mack and Jill, your vacation home is beautiful. The décor of the house is indescribable; the attention to detail was unbelievable. We loved that there was a television in every bedroom. All the furniture was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need to cook your own meals... We made breakfast each morning and eat at some great restaurants for dinner. We enjoyed, Sea Ranch (our Favorite), Daddy’s, The Big Donkey and Dirty Al’s, also had awesome food. We enjoyed Drinks at Coconuts they have the best bartenders. They also have wave runners and parasailing at coconuts. I would recommend this place to anyone, it was great.
Thank you again for renting your home to us for our vacation.

This house is absolutely amazing. The decor was beautiful and the furniture was very comfortable. The house was equipped with just about everything you could think of for a trip down the street to the beach or night of grilling/cooking. It was perfect for small children (watch the stairs though) and had lots of beach toys and a toy chest in the kids room.
My family had a blast and we'd definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing stay. |

| This townhome was amazing. Very clean, wonderful deocr, and everything you possibly needed to make your vacation worry free. We liked the location of the townhome as it was close to the beach. The hottub and grill are nice added touches. We recommend this townhome to anyone vacationing in South Padre. |

| !!! WOW !!! What a great vacation home. The attention to detail was great, and all of our vacation needs were met....from the comfy beds to the fun things in the beach closet. It's close to the beach and near a great access point. The restaurants on the island are great, but grilling up some steaks and shrimp on the back porch grill couldn't be beat, as it was just steps away from the very roomy hot tub....very relaxing. Can you say Ahhhhhhhhh |

| Wow! What an amazing place. Your townhome became our home away from home due to Hurricane Ike. We love this place and will continue to come back as often as we can. You have thought of everything! I walked around the house and found all of the little "surprises" that I didn't even think to bring with us! The house is immaculate! The kids loved having their own room with a cool bunkbed and flat screen tv. My 5 year old didn't want to leave. :) We were all sad when we were packing to go home. We had a blast on the island and couldn't imagine of spending it anywhere else but in this GORGEOUS townhome! Thank you so much! |

The house was amazing! It has everything you need
plus more to make your stay enjoyable. My kids
wanted to move in permanently! We love the hot tub,
the wonderfully stocked kitchen, easy beach access
and balcony to view the Friday night fireworks. We are
already talking about going back next summer! |

| This townhome is awesome. It is way more than we expected and has everything you need. The beach is only a short walk away. The upstairs has a small refrigerator, and coffemaker, just outside the master bedroom. It is definitely home away from home. No need to bring anything for the beach, It is all here. Boogie Boards, chairs, towels, umbrella, ice chest, even a small buggy to carry it all down in. We arrived 2 Saturdays after Hurricane Dolly did, and were a little worried about the condition of island and townhome. The Johnson's communication with us was excellent during the week before we arrived. The townhome suffered little to no damage, and The Johnson's kept us well informed of the condition of the island prior to us arriving. They have furnished the townhome quite nicely and as previously mentioned, it was way more than we expected. |

| Beautiful house! Great location! Everything was clean and it is beautifully furnished. The coffee bar and mini fridge upstairs was a nice surpise and the cart in the beach supply room was a life saver to haul things on the short walk to the beach. They have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable and hassle free. The kids did not want to leave and yes we would stay there again. Mack and Jill were wonderful and prompt when responding to any correspondence. Thank you for sharing your home. |

| The house was wonderful. It was so clean and beautiful that I could have just moved in permanently. It was located close to the beach, so we could come and go without any fuss. The hot tub was a treat after all the salt water, and the flat screen t.v.s were perfect for the kids when it rained. I would highly recommend it. |

| AMAZING...is the only word I can use to describe the time I spent at this beach house. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the necessities for enjoying a great meal and a few drinks out on the patio. The decor is beautiful and it makes you feel right at home. I am a clean freak and the house was immaculate. I have already recommended this place to my friends and family. I can't wait for someone to bring me back :) |

Let me say that as a "professional" in the business of short term vacation rentals (my company manages vacation rentals in Aspen/Snowmass Colorado and Lake Havasu City, Arizona)I am probably the pickiest renter that you woud never want to stay in your rental! I have been in the business for over 23 years and even when I stay at hotels, I find myself turning the lamp shades if the seam is facing me - yes - it is that bad! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised at check in is quite an understatement because in dealing direct with an owner and not a property management company, it did give me a little cause for concern. I must say that the booking process, representation of the property and area, as well as any questions that I had were answered promptly and professionally.
Quality and condition of the property was fabulous, grounds maintained, garage cleaned and swept, plenty of local information at your fingertips along with instructions on how to use various equipment etc. The location of the townhouse in relationship to the ocean is much closer that I had thought when reviewing pictures and information, so that was another added element of surprise.
As I age, (gracefully of course) quality of mattresses are extremely important, and normally after vacation I need a vacation from the vacation because normally my sleep is disrupted due to substandard mattresses - not in this case - We were able to sleep like a child every night and felt refreshed every morning!
I can't imagine there is anything on South Padre that can match up with this property when comparing price, location, amenities, service, quality etc. You will not be disappointed! As a matter of fact, you will want to be next in line to sign this guest book with all of your glowing remarks! |

We had a great time at the house. The location is perfect. Only about a half-block from the beach access, and near all the restaurants.
The house is beautiful and roomy. If we go back, we'll definitely try stay here again. |

This was a great home to rent. Although it looks really nice on the website, it is even better when you get there.
Great for families, we had a wonderful time and the home was in pristine condition. Don't bother looking for other homes on South Padre, this is the one you want!!! |

I must say...words alone can not express the time we had staying here. My family viewed the pictures on the website and sometime it's hard to determine what to expect until you get there.
The house is fantastic. It was warm and cozy and the decor was excellent. There was even a nice basket of treats waiting for us on the counter when we arrived. Mack is extremely nice and was so great speaking with him over the phone. His customer service is outstanding. He checked in to make sure we were well and having a good time.
That was called service with a smile. We are definitely going back. I just want to stay at the house again and do absolutely nothing.
Thanks Mack for making sure we had a great time! |

After much searching for townhome and condo rentals, we had given up due to disappointing results. Then we came across the Johnson's beach house! This is by far the best find on the island. The home is beautiful, well maintained and extremely comfortable. Don't waste your time looking for other homes! This one is priced well and will exceed your expectations! We will definitely be back next year! |

| This townhome has got to be in the top ten percent of all the rental properties one SPI. It is also very reasonably priced considering all that you get. Everything is in tip top condition and well maintained. You know how sometimes you look at pictures of a place and then are disappointed when you finally get there, well the opposite is true for this property! Great job Johnsons, you have a real winner in my book!! |
