Awesome

This place was amazing. We are long time visitors to SPI, and this by far the best rental. Plenty to do- kayaking, fishing and hot tub. Unlike a hotel room, you can still continue to enjoy the evening with all kinds of activities without leaving the premises. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay

We loved this property. The decor is cute and the deck and lower level kitchen space was awesome. Our son caught a lot of little fish of the pier. Owner was very responsive and went out of her way to return items we left! The location was perfect, easy walk to the beach and a lovely bay view.

Best place to stay on the entire island!

We take a trip every year to the island and the Blue Dahlia is the absolute best place to stay. The property is gorgeous, super clean, and has everything you need. We loved everything from fishing off the dock and grilling out. To just relaxing and watching calmness of the bay. Hats off to the owner for making this stay so amazing!! If were going to South Padre Island this will always be my favorite place to stay.

Awesome as always!!

We visit the island every year, almost as tradition. There is no better location on the island to stay. The Bleu Dahlia is amazing and the owner is extremely nice. Has everything you could want for your vacation. Very clean and cozy. We always sit downstairs at the bar area while we fish, enjoy the hot tub and enjoy conversation in a relaxing environment. This wonderful place will always be a number one spot for us while visiting the island.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Sitting outside in evening with breeze was amazing!

A++ rating! The whole family could not stop talking about how much they loved the house and the location. From the moment we stepped through the door, it was as comfortable as home. All the amenities were great. I went kayaking for the first time, and loved it. With a family of six we were able to mostly eat at "home" and go out and enjoy the island, for example, horses back riding. We have already made plans to stay there again in the spring.

FANTASTIC!

This condo is amazing! It has all the amenities one could ask for, making it feel like home. The condo is exceptionally comfortable, and we appreciated the charming decor. It easily accommodated my family of 7. We enjoyed fishing on the dock, and the kids had a great time catching fish. I highly recommend this stay to anyone interested in visiting the beach. It's only a 5-minute drive to the public beach, yet it's situated right on the water with a boat dock and bay. We're definitely planning to come back again!

Wonderful Experience...

Came down to the Harligen, TX, to visit the in-laws, and we decided to spend the Thanksgiving Weekend on the Island. This is a very cozy nicely decorated and supplied condo, and the outdoor deck overlooking the dock out back on the channel, 5 minutes to the bay was a real amenity for us as well, as we also brought our 24' pontoon boat with us for some bay cruising and fishing. I would recommend this property to anybody, wanting to come down to the Island and just relax.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Host profile image
The property has been a dream come true for our family. As kids we spent many days on the island creating lasting memories. Now as grown adults we would like to do the same with our children & grandchildren. We would also like for our guests to build the best memories at The Blue Dahlia Townhome. The townhouse is named after our mother who passed in the summer of 2016. We are committed to reflecting the love and comfort our mother was to us, in the Blue Dahlia. Enjoy your time as family, or as friends, and make the memories that will stay with you in the years to come.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of a kind. It is very difficult to find a property on the island where you can dock your boat or jet ski's, with your own private backyard. No worries or concerns as to where you will park your trailer either as there is ample parking. The views from the upper deck are expansive and peaceful and below you can read a good book lying on the hammock. This property is a perfect family getaway, girls getaway or for a men's weekend fishing trip. We wanted somewhere close to the fun of the beach but also a place to rest after a long day. It is not just a beach house - it is a home away from home. We love it and we hope you do as well.

What makes this property unique

Location......Location...... Location! This property is located "on the fingers" as known on the island with the locals. The Blue Dahlia is on a quiet street and is very unique to the island. Our private backyard allows us to relax in the hammocks and read a book or take a nap. With direct access to the water off our back dock, it is easy to bring a paddle board or use one of the kayaks we provide and start paddling! The calm waters of the bay allow you to take a break from the waves of the beach and enjoy some water sports. We also have fun watching the pelicans and the water birds catch their daily meals. The pelicans can put on quite a show as they dive bomb for their catch, and the great blue heron that fishes from our dock is a treat for the early risers. From time to time you will be treated to the dolphins that come by to catch a meal - and if you're really lucky - the manatees that are occasionally spotted in the calm waters of the bay. You cannot beat the early morning and late night fishing without leaving the property. And we can see the fireworks right from our dock! Either way, there is something for everyone. It is the perfect beach house.
