South Padre Island Vacation Rental

What a lovely complex Aquarius is. The grounds are lush and impeccably maintained; a highlight of our stay was barbecuing at one of the three picnic sites that dot the grounds. The pool is lovely, and the staff great. This condo, however, leaves much to be desired. We arrived to a broken bed in the second bedroom, which forced us to completely alter our sleeping arrangements. The shower is icky, and the kitchen lacked basic items like a potato peeler, hot pads, and anything larger than a 2 qt. saucepan. Most disappointing, however, was the fact that the first night we used the dishwasher, the entire kitchen was flooded with water. When we called the owner the next morning to let him know about the situation, nothing was done during the entire week of our stay to fix the situation. I ended up washing all of our dishes by hand for the duration of the week, and for all I know, there's still gross standing water at the bottom of the dishwasher, because no one came to service it while we were there. The highlight of the apartment was the view. However, we now know about other units in Aquarius that have been recently renovated that are much nicer than this condo, and we'll be renting one of those updated, nicer units next time around, for roughly the same cost as our disappointing stay in this condo.
