Our beach house offers a completely contained upstairs as well as a completely contained downstairs. You have a kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms on each floor. This conveniently provides for privacy when necessary.

I am also very close to many local restaurant favorites. There is easy access to many locations because the Wave, a local free transportation, is provided by the city. Near by, you can dine in style at the beachfront Palm’s Café, which offers mouth-watering grilled shrimp tacos and ambrosia desserts. Also, a block away is the family friendly casual eatery the Padre Island Brewing Co. with great service, home brewed beer, and some of the best cerviche on the Island. You can grab a quick brew and some great food. Tom & Jerry’s and Wanna Wanna’s beach bar, both famous for their sizzling burgers, are close by. Blackbeard’s, one of the first restaurants on the Island is a favorite. And, let's not forget Dirty Al's - best skewered shrimp ever and be sure to have the jalapeno/crab stuffed pepper.

Just up the road are many local attractions too. Further north you can attend daily events at the South Padre Island Convention Center or bring your binoculars and see what birds you can spot at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center. With over 300 migratory birds coming through the Rio Grande Valley, the birding center is one of the best places in the world to see and hear the sounds of amazing wildlife. The birding center has over 3300 feet of boardwalk to enjoy nature and even experience the collage of colors at sunset. Other features of the Birding Center include 5 bird blinds, an auditorium with a video about wildlife on South Padre Island, and five-story Birding Center tower with spectacular views of everything from the Laguna Madre to the Gulf of Mexico.

We also have the Turtle Rescue Center, horseback riding, kayaking, and even kite boarding nearby. Kite boarding is one of the fastest growing and most popular activities on South Padre Island. You can become an expert on the waves with the help of kite boarding schools like Air Padre Kiteboarding and SPI Kiteboarding. Don’t forget to enjoy a breathtaking Dolphin Boat ride with the crews at Sea Ranch Marina. You can get up close and personal to the playful dolphins in the splash of the Laguna Madre. Don’t miss out on these experiences!

Perfect location and plenty of room!
We booked this property for our annual family trip to SPI, and it’s been the best property we have been to yet. We appreciated that every couple had their own room and bathroom. I only docked one point because the property was definitely a little more “loved” than it appears in the photos. But excellent overall and great communication from Judy when we asked for an early check-in.

Family Vacay SPI
The house was in a perfect location to the beach. Great pool, and lots of room for our 7 adults. The house was clean but needs a face lift. Awkward set up with no access from top level to bottom level except to go outside but we made it work. Amenities were misleading, thought beach towels would be provided, but they were not. Overall, a great location. Lot's of room for large groups. Check-in and out was easy and convenient.

This place was above our expectation. Two separate entrances for the top and bottom, own spaces. A great fenced/private backyard for our pets. A walk across the street to the beach or soak and sun in your own private pool.

Perfect South Padre Island Getaway!
If your looking for the idea spot to have a stress free South Padre Island Vacation, this is it! The things we most appreciated were that each couple (4) had their own room and own bathroom. Plus a spacious living room/kitchen area. The location, just a short walk to the beach. And, then after a long day in the salt water and sand, you can come back and spend a relaxing evening in the pool! Everyone said it was the perfect location and place to stay. Thanks!

A place to come back to!
It's such a wonderful house for a family getaway, boasting the most ideal location just a block away from the beach. The bathroom could use a bit of updating for better ventilation. Overall, it would easily be a 5-star spot if it weren't for the sewage smell in the downstairs bathroom and a whole day without internet! I would definitely return here, solely for the amazing atmosphere and location!

Fantastic Stay
The only constructive criticism is that the baseboards and cabinet fronts in downstairs unit could use a deep cleaning. Overall, the property was clean and well kept. Our family had a fantastic stay, and especially enjoyed the pool. The outdoor shower was wonderful for cleaning off the sand after the beach, and quite regressing.

Fantastic pool and location
The place is a little old and run-down, but they've clearly done some work on it (the upstairs showers have been recently redone, for instance) and it's clean and usable. The pool is wonderful, and the location can't be beat. Good stay overall for a large group, including everyone from a toddler to kids to teens to adults to a senior citizen and a couple of dogs.

Wonderful location right across the street from the beach. Two kitchens and living areas very helpful for multiple families. Wish there was a table though. Only a long bar upstairs which worked especially for cooking and serving. Hot Tub is fun too!!

Fun property. Close to beach. The owner is very helpful.
The property is in a great location. The pool and hot tub make this house even better. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the pool and she helped resolve it quickly and satisfactorily. This was a great week in South Padre.

great location and pool
the upstairs area was spacious and lovely. the downstairs is a little dark and musty, significantly smaller kitchen and living area so using the pullout couch is tight and feels cramped. the pool and hot tub were great, but realize it is in on a busy street so not super private. I would stay in the upstairs area again, but not downstairs.

Pricey for Quality
Convenient to beach access #14 with views of gulf from balconies. Pool is great entertainment for families. Large open living / kitchen upstairs works well for large groups, but kitchen could use updated pots & pans. The updates that have been made are nice. Overall, pricey for the quality.

Nasty and mis leading
Our stay was awful. The pictures were very misleading. The house is not connected. No way to access top level without going outside, washer and dryer is in the garage with no light we could find, couch was stained and very uncomfortable, someone before us had puked all over the wicker Chester drawer in room with king bed so had to call to agency to have it cleaned as soon as we arrived. I could still see brownish stains of it in the wicker after maintenance scrubbed with bleach, ceiling fan in room with king bed so off balance you could not use. The only nice thing about the stay was the hot tub and short walk to beach. I found this rental over priced for what it actually was. I was so disgusted about the vomit I felt gross the entire stay and very angry about paying the high price I paid. This place needs some work and the rental agency should be ashamed of themselves for their cleaning efforts. Nasty!!!! Keep on searching

Loved it!
The location was amazing. I read the reviews before we came so was prepared for the stairs to be outside, but they were recently remodeled along with the deck. The pool was recently resurfaced as well. The downstairs stayed hot, so fans for each bedroom would have been appreciated. We ran out if trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels. We were there 7 days, so maybe for longer stays they can put more out.

Holiday Vacation
Our family takes annual trip to the island. SPI is such a special place. The house was clean and functional. Great location, a few steps and the gulf is there to greet you. The hot tub and pool is amazing and was highly used. The house has an odd set-up, walking through the front door to see two queen beds was weird. We had to figure out the best person for that room. We used the backyard gate to go upstairs and not disturb the person sleeping in the front room. The upstairs area is nice and roomy. The fireworks can be seen from the outside balcony. The family was satisfied with the house. The owner Judy was very responsive and nice. The management company was also easy to work with. All beds were comfortable and having the beach towels and wash/dryer was perfect. Overall everything was awesome. I recommend, updated furniture and paint. The downstairs sofa was not comfortable and bedroom dresser is old and tired. The exterior of the house needs paint to freshen up the look. A big thank you to Judy & the management company for an easy and beautiful stay on the island. Can’t wait to go back!!

We had a wonderful time at this property! It was perfect for us, with two full apartments in the two-story home. We enjoyed the backyard with the swimming pool, however, we could not get the Jacuzzi to work. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to cook. Thank you very much for a wonderful memory.
