We loved the Royal retreat. Plenty of space for everyone. We really enjoyed the apartment downstairs for our little one. We were able to put him down for naps and bedtime without him be disturbed by the other kids still up running around.

I live in McAllen and my two brothers and 1st Cousin live in Houston Area. We don't see each other very often. (We are in our 70's) We try to get together at least once a year and the Royal Retreat turned out to be the perfect half way place to meet. The house was very nice, everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom which is important for old people and the golf cart made it easy for us to venture to the beach. The large living area was also ideal for meals and visiting. Awesome time, we will be back.

Not our first time in this home. Had a very nice stay in a wonderful home. There are a couple issues that could be fixed, but aren't a critical failure to any stay. The fan in the living room knocks like a metronome and makes it annoying to be in the living/kitchen/dining area. This was the case last time we stayed. Time to take action. Additionally, the bathroom flush in the master sounds like a ambulance siren that the entire floor can hear. Surely there's something that can be done on that issue. Finally, while never required, there's not a darned shrimp deveiner to be found on the whole island. That would have been a massive bonus. All in all, it's a wonderful house with a great air conditioner, good beds, and nice open space for groups (one of the few where 4 couples can stay). It won't be our last visit and is very close to a 5 star rating for us.

Life in Paradise service was perfect couldn't ask for any better. This property on the other hand has several issues. The apartment on the lower level has an odor (smells like mold), horrible water pressure (so they had to shower up stairs, and the toilet doesn't appear to be secured to the ground (so 2 large black bugs were in this bathroom ALIVE)... You may want to bring these issues to the owners attention. Thank you again for working with me on the issues with the golf carts.

This place has so much space. A large deck from the second floor and a complete different living space downstairs. The dogs had room to do their business in the backyard but it was not so large that we couldn’t clean it quickly. We had plenty of room to put the hardtop to our Jeep under the deck and also have the Jeep, the Golf cart and the trailer for it all out of the weather as well . I will say it was more than walking distance from the beach and I like houses that have a beach view more, but it was larger than those places. It is next door to a cemetery and at first we were apprehensive but the only issues is curious teenagers later at night. But even that wasn’t a big deal. I would stay here again if the amount of people staying was right! Thank you!

Our party of 8 adults and an 11 month old stayed 3 nights at what looked like a newer home! 3 beds/3baths upstairs was great that every couple had their own bathroom to use! The rooms were big enough for our granddaughter's pack and play that she slept in. There is a downstairs apartment that was very nice that could easily fit 4 more people. Bath towels were definitely plentiful! The kitchen was nice and spacious! Easy to cook in. Beds were comfortable. Really the only thing that I can critique is the smell of the house. It wasn't really a musty smell but it definitely wasn't fresh smelling. I went to the local Dollar General to get some air fresheners and Febreze and it did help. The downstairs unit had a stronger smell than the main part of the house. I do read comments on homes when I'm searching for a vacation rental so I'd like to suggest a few things on what to bring.-extra trash bags-extra paper towels-extra dish towels (there was only 1)-liquid hand soap (there was only bar soap)-bigger knives (I was trying to cut a watermelon with a small knife.)The Life in Paradise staff was very easy to work with and if I had a question, I'd just call them. The text messages they sent were all timely and very helpful in the check-in and checkout process! All in all, I'd stay here again! It was a very nice vacation for our family!

The home was beautifully refinished and the kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and spacious. The location was perfect with quick access to the beach and town plus lots of parking. The kitchen was a little light on utensils and tools. Plenty of pots and pans but if you need something specific for a meal I would recommend bringing it with you. There were no TVs in the bedrooms which wasn’t a deal breaker for us but might be for others. Overall it was a great place and we enjoyed our stay!
