Paul Delano
This is a 55+ resort. E stayed last season and fell in love with the park and people. Bought a place this season. It is a place for active retired people but you can also relax and enjoy the 3 pools, tennis courts, etc. Also plenty of activities to enjoy each week. Dances and dinners at the clubhouse. Quiet and clean, it’s just a nice place to rent or live. We have tried a lot of places in the RGV. This is the best.

My Mother has a place there. She has been harassed multiple times by a tenant. He described in detail in a text sexual explicit actions he was taking against her. We are talking about vulger acts on an 89 year old widow woman. At this time to my knowledge no action has been taken by the board. At this point she and my Brother who is also an owner are concerned for her and their safety. And have avoided Winterhaven for most of the winter. This is a very disappointing situation.

My husband and I moved here and just planned on staying for the summer. We rented from a wonderful couple here in the park. Two and a half years later we are still here because we love winter haven! The people are very welcoming, the staff is top notch, and this place is just gorgeous. Everything is well maintained, Tom the manager keeps this place running like a well oiled machine! There are so many fun activities such as: three pools, a spa, dances with live bands, dinners at the lovely clubhouse, bingo, card games of all types, a billiards room, chess club, tennis, pickle ball and so much more. Being close to south padre island is great for fun beach outings, great food and plenty of entertainment. Brownsville is a safe and welcoming place, with lots of great eating establishments, shopping and activities. Whether you are a winter Texan or live here all year round you will definitely enjoy this beautiful park!
