Lovely beach house!

My husband, 2 little girls and I, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was a 1 minute walk to the beach. The downstairs units had super nice guests in them and parking was easy! The place is also very comfortable and perfectly decorated for the beach. We can’t wait to come back.

Beautifully decorated comfortable Getaway place

The owner Rob and his wife have a lovely place close to a beach access. Just cross the street that runs along the beach properties and you can walk down the beach for good exercise. It’s has some interesting features inside such as drinking water dispenser, Ninja indoor grill, & well stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels! Beautiful rugs with turtle designs to go with the turtle pictures in the master bedroom. Beds were comfortable!!Rob is an excellent communicator. If we had questions or comments, he answered them almost immediately or within a very reasonable time.Definitely would recommend this place for the comfortable extras it has, for the reason price.

Perfect Spring Break with the kids!

Property was very clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Plenty of kitchen supplies, towels, linens, beach supplies. Bed was very comfortable, nice sheets and pillows. The pool is perfect - heated so temp was very comfortable and it has a lot of shade in the late afternoon when you need a break from the sun. Hot tub was nice because we had a couple of cooler days as well. Decor is also very nice which was a nice bonus to a beach vacation. Host was very responsive. Wonderful stay, we will absolutely come back here when we visit SPI.

Great Condo!

My family and I loved this condo! It was a very short walk to the beach. The back balcony also gave us an amazing view of the beach. Everything needed for a beach vacation was provided. The kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pants, plates, a ninja air fryer, etc... so we didn't have to eat out the entire stay. The owner, Rob was very considerate and communicated with us when Hurricane Beryl was headed our way. He was willing to work with us if we wanted to leave a day early. We kept an eye on the weather and were fortunate nothing bad came our way. As a matter of fact, we extended our stay an extra night, which made it a full week there. Our kiddos did not want to leave, lol. We also took advantage of doing a dolphin tour with "Captain Rob" and he made sure we saw dolphins. 😊 We use VRBO a lot and it's our 4th trip to SPI. You can def tell the owners care and pay attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend this place and certainly stay again. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Good Accommodations, Communicative POC

We enjoyed our time at SPI at this well appointed condo. There was some construction happening but the owner was very communicative and worked with us and the contractor to ensure the pool was available and noise kept to a minimum. We really appreciated that. While chairs and other beach items were available, next time I’d bring my own but the Neso beach tent they had was awesome. Going to get one ourselves! We had a great time, and loved just having to share a pool with just a few families vs many in a larger unit.

Adorable condo

The inside was amazing! Loved the decor. Bed was so comfortable in king size room and im picky. Pool was nice. Nice neighbors. Only downside was construction everywhere. On the back side by the pool for a balcony and then the entire street. Literally 4 out of 7 days with a jackhammer. Not that it was the host fault, but it just impacted our stay. Other than that we had a great time!

Amazing!!!

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this review. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The property was absolutely gorgeous. We had stopped prior to arriving to pick up information from the visitors center which was completely unnecessary as the owners had everything we needed from suggestions on restaurants, groceries, and entertainment. I would definitely stay here again and again. Next time, I would pack less.

Best Condo in South Padre!

We have been to SPI 4 times, including a stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. My little one wanted to stay there and complained the entire week before we arrived. Once she saw Rob's condo, she loved it. She is still telling everyone about how great it was. This condo was by far the best equipped that we have ever stayed in, it was also the most spectacular. The home is really well decorated, makes you feel at home. Everything that you could ever want in a condo is there (plenty of towels, silverware, dishes (literally everything that you will need), coffee machine, Keurig, bogie boards, beach toys, beach chairs, wagon for hauling stuff to the beach, dehumidifier, etc). You could literally show up with only your clothes. Other than this, the things that we liked most about this condo were - Really close to the beach - Fantastic view from the balcony (made morning coffee time that much better) - Pool and Hot Tub - Really, really nice furniture and decorations - Great location - Automated locks made access simple - Rob thought of everything that you could possibly need Also, if we had questions, Rob was quick to respond to us. In our opinion, this was the best place that we have ever stayed, period.

Bright and beautiful!

Our family visited South Padre just after the 4th of July holiday weekend, and it was nothing short of amazing! This condo had just been renovated by the new owners, who did a superb job of making it feel like home with a classic and sophisticated beach theme. The living room was nice and comfy with a good supportive couch that pulled out very easily when it was time for the kids to go to bed. There was plenty of seating with the bar stools, couch, bean bag cubes, and dining chairs so we could all congregate in the living area comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed to make several meals while on vacation and the grill on the balcony worked great! (Look for the grilling utensils in the oven warming drawer). But my favorite part of the condo was the dining area. It was so nice to have all 6 of us sitting at the same table together enjoying meals. The love seat bench was a big hit with the kids! We (the kids, rather) were up pretty early each morning, as sunlight streams through the glass block windows each day. We didn't even have to turn on any lights in the house, everything just glistened. It was lovely! As far as location goes, this condo is just a hop,skip, and a jump from the beach access. So convenient! We enjoyed having some extra beach mats and boogie boards to use while at the beach, thanks to the supplies stored in the basket by the door. What a nice touch! There are showers in the pool area to rinse off the sand from the beach. We found this to be easier than rinsing off our feet at the door to the condo. The pool was very relaxing, as we were the only ones using it during our stay. So it truly felt like a private home! We didn't get a chance to use the hot tub, but it was nestled in a shady corner of the pool area and looked very inviting! Since it was our first trip, we checked out a couple of the places around town that the owners suggested. They had a nice binder with different activities and restaurants to try. The binder also helped us as we were getting ready to leave, as the check-out procedures were conveniently kept right there! The only thing I would change about the trip would be to stay an extra day. We loved it so much, the time just flew by! We will definitely return to this condo for our next trip to Padre!

Great property with Easy Access to Beach

The condo was exactly as pictured (I think even the 2nd room is more recently updated than the photos). Really cute and right across from the beach with really easy access! Had top notch amenities for cooking and having coffee inside. Loved having the cold/how water dispenser! I also really appreciated all the beach accessories that came with the rental- it made it very easy to just pack necessities. The water-hose and tiny tub on the porch was handy in cleaning stuff off before coming into the condo. Rob and family have great recommendations in a binder inside, which made planning activities and meals really easy. I would definitely stay here the next time I find myself in South Padre Island!

Why they chose this property

As Renters we fell in love with this condo and purchased it to make our own little slice of paradise in the spring of 2018.

The view from the balcony overlooks the pool and surrounding palm trees. Better yet, it has a straight on view of the ocean's surf! From this balcony you will feel the sea breeze and hear the waves pounding the shore while an unobstructed ocean view will calm your soul.

From your front door, it's just 125 steps to the warm sandy beach that you have been viewing from the balcony.

We are centered in the middle of South Padre and believe it is the ideal location on the island. The small 4 unit complex has a homey, private feel while the view and easy access to the surf compares to much more expensive beachfront large complexes.

We found its just so easy to walk or bike down the designated paths, hit our favorite beach bars, restaurants, and live music from several venues.
Our favorites include Wanna Wanna for fresh ceviche which is only 2 blocks away and nice beach walk. Palms Cafe is also on the beach in the opposite direction and provides great breakfasts and dinners. On the Laguna Madre side of the island, sunsets are hard to beat from Laguna Bobs, BackYard Louie's, Lobo Del Mar, which all have live music!

The island also boasts the best Bird watching center in Texas - check it out!
Birds not your thing ? Check out the near by Turtle center or catch one of 4 movies playing at the theater that is on the same block ($5 Wednesday specials)

The family will enjoy our heated pool that is shared between the 4 condo's in this complex. Lounge chairs and grill sit alongside of the pool in a private fenced backyard with palm trees surrounding the area - a very relaxing place to spend time when not at the beach.

What makes this property unique

Small complex, ocean view from balcony, heated pool, King bed in master, newly updated living and dining areas.
