We have stayed at this complex twice now (different units), they were both very nice, clean, well appointed. The communication from property management is also very good. The complex is only a 5 min. Drive to the beach, and walking distance to an ice cream shop, donut shop, coffee shop, and CVS

Stayed for an extra long weekend with family and friends. We’ve stayed in a different cottage before and loved it thought we’d stay again and give another cottage a try!
This cottage felt very out dated. The kitchen table had a glass top that would spin. And with kids that gave me anxiety- all they wanted to do was spin it. The bed in the master felt like it was two beds put together and if you’d sit at the edge you would literally slip off due to no support. The front door was extremely hard to close you would have to really push hard to close it. Overall it was just ok - but would have to pass on it in the future, especially if we know the other cottages are nicer.
Gave it 4 STARS only because the pool is super nice!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was the perfect size for the 3 of us. Had everything we needed. The back patio was our favorite. Hoping to stay here again soon.

This was our second stay at this property which we love! These 2 bedroom 2 bath cottages are nicely appointed. We did have a couple of comments. The TV was difficult to operate (both times) but with a call to the property management we were able to clear that up. The Cabana Flamingo in particular could have been a little cleaner though. The living room couch and chair being cloth were visibly dirty and the baseboards noticeably grimy in the bathrooms. But again overall we love the property which we found to be very quiet and we also enjoyed the pool.

Welcome back! Happy to hear you had another great stay! Housekeeping is a tough job and we all make mistakes from time to time. Usually our inspectors catch this type of issue, unfortunately they must?ve missed it this time. We will address it with the individuals and make sure it is better going forward. We look forward to hosting you all again and can't wait to have you poolside again!

The best place I've ever stayed other than my home. Much better than a hotel. Love all the amenities and extra security. Box fans were a nice surprise. Host was very considerate of our needs, had everything you could
have asked for and more. The cottage was spacious enough and very clean.

We came with 3 adults & 3 kids. Enough beds for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed. If I had a recommendation for the owner it would be to upgrade the beds.

Thank you for the feedback, We look forward to hosting you again.

Check-in was easy, the rental was very clean and I loved that they have a washer and dryer to clean your clothes and towels after a day at the beach. My only reccomendation would be upgrade your bedding and mattresses. They were a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a great time and felt that the rental had been sanitized and thoroughly cleaned!

Thank you for your amazing feedback, I will pass it along to our team! We look forward to hosting you again.

This unit could be so nice if only the owners gave it a little TLC. We are vacation rental owners ourselves, so we know the little touches matter.
Pros: Comfortable beds, handicap accessible, quiet
Cons: No coffee table, there was a nice little patio, but no landscaping or sitting area with table. Kitchen was adequate, but needs new non-stick pans as these were peeling. Kitchen faucet spray broken, shower heads very old and need updating. Closets stuffed with things so that you have to move mattresses, etc. to unpack and hang clothes. Dresser in guest room is in the closet for some reason.

Overall it was a good stay....The house was clean, the location was nice and close to a beach. The house is less than 5 minutes to a CVS, Starbucks, and places to eat. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us. My 2 issues were with the bed and couch. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and made a lot of noise when on it. I moved a pillow and the bed made noise! The bed almost felt as if we were sleeping on a futon mattress. We are in our 40's and sleeping on that type of mattress made for very restless nights and painful mornings. The furniture was also pretty uncomfortable. It looks to be in great shape but when you sit on it, the cushions no longer support as well as they must have when it was newer. I feel like replacing the mattresses and couch would go a long way for this place.

This unit was great. Very clean and supplied everything you needed. Great location. Perfect size for our family.

We stayed at cabana flamingo for a short 3 night trip and it was great. Nice location easy drive to beach and food. Everything was clean and comfortable.
- Elga G. from Murphy, Posted: 03/14/2020
Our cabana was clean, roomy, perfect, and PINK! We had such a great time, we decided to extend our stay. It's close to the beach, shops, water park, etc. Would definitely recommend!

Happy weekend!
- Tuan M. from Houston, Posted: 07/31/2019
The location is near places to eat and the beach. It's perfect for the family because there is a pool and you have your own little patio/backyard area.
- Anita O. from San Antonio, Posted: 06/28/2019
Our Vacation Rental was one of the best experiences we have had in quiet awhile, the Cabana Flamingo was set up perfect for us and our friends, there was plenty of Room, the Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, it was like being at home, we will Definitely be back.
- Brenda A. from Georgetown, Posted: 05/21/2019
Great to hear you enjoyed it. Hope you caught some fish too! Thanks for the feedback!

We enjoyed our stay at Cabana Flamingo. The housekeeping done before our arrival was dismal. Kitchen appliances looked smeary and unkempt and the floor in the kitchen and living area was dirty. The bed in the master bedroom doesn’t have a spring under the mattress and my hands are bruised from trying to make the bed. There was only about one hand towel. There wasn’t any cleaning rags or cloths. The maintainance man brought me some cloths.. I called about many things that needed repair, I hope that it was appreciated. We are home owners and former landlords so we liked to stay informed about our property. Bottom line: get a spring under the master bedroom bed.
- Beverley D. from New Lothrop, Posted: 04/16/2019
Cabana was well appointed. Bathrooms clean and had grab bars. One walk in shower and the other tub shower combo. This was important for me because my 93yr old father needed to be safe while bathing. Great location.

Love the mobile check in and out

Perfect property for two families on vacation. Convenient to beach access. Clean interior with lots of kitchen amenities. Office staff was very friendly with excellent communication.

The cabana was perfect for our long weekend. We did a good bit of cooking and found the kitchen well appointed with dishes,pots, pans and baking dishes Our kids are older with 2 over 6 feet tall. The space was well organized and had 2 cots in addition to a pull out sofa and a bed in both bedrooms. Linens were plentiful and good quality. 3 TVs that I didn't think were would use, bit did as World Cup and US Open were both on. We explored the 2 beaches pointed out at check in, but used the art the Padre National Sea Shore for $10 per car. It was cleaner and not as busy. We really appreciated the alerts shared of things to do in the area and attended a Sea Turtle release. We enjoyed the property as our home base.
