New porcelain floor tile throughout
New kitchen cabinets with soft close doors and drawers, stainless apron front sink, granite counter top, and glass tile back splash
All new stainless steel (slate) GE appliances
Enlarged bathroom to increase space
Removed bathtub/shower combo and replaced with tiled walk in shower
New custom built vanity with glass vessel sink and glass tile back splash
Ceiling fans added to bedroom and great room
All new furniture - including balcony furniture

Best SPI stay yet

Easily the best SPI condo we have stayed at. We stayed at 2 others in Inverness that weren’t even close as well as others on the island. The unit was beautifully decorated and the kitchen well stocked. The host couple clearly treasure this unit and it comes through in every detail.

Beach Heaven

This condo unit is truly wonderful. Super clean and decorated over the top in marine themed art everywhere. Really comfortable space with huge balcony to relax and enjoy the spectacular views of the Gulf. Comes equipped with everything you might want to enjoy the setting. Close proximity to adults only jacuzzi patio we enjoyed every day and evening. Thank you for sharing such a great space for travelers to embrace! Best wishes!

Great place with opportunities for improvement

The good: This was by far the cleanest, most well appointed condo we've ever stayed in. The views are spectacular. The beach is amazing. The patio furniture is fabulous (we just ordered the same chairs for our home). The inside couches & chairs are comfortable. The owners left a kitchen cabinet & drawer empty for our own food. Opportunities for improvement: There are SO many decorations, some which I'm sure are expensive & very cool. But it's too much. We don't like to move anything when we stay in VRBOs but there was no room on the tables for our own things & all of it is overwhelming. Decluttering would be a huge improvement. There is only one small mirror which is in the bathroom. It's too small for 2 people to get ready at the same time. We bought an additional mirror and hung it with a command strip off the slider. Adding another mirror would be helpful. The mattress is comfortable, but the bed is very wobbly & noisy when you move. I slept on the couch more than once just to get good rest. The facility: Good > Right in front of the condo, you can rent 2 chaise lounge chairs & an umbrella on the beach for $35 a day which we did more than once. Not good > The elevators didn't work regularly and are very slow. The pool is not heated and the water temperature was frigid. There are 2 small jacuzzis, but half the time they weren't heated. I do water exercise for health reasons so it was very disappointing & difficult not to have an option to swim.

Best Condo Right on the Beach

I have stayed in this building several times before but not in this privately owned condo through VRBO. The condo has been beautifully updated and decorated and has everything you might need. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and the owner Brian made sure we were all set throughout the whole process. Condo is right on the beach with amazing views. We will be back again soon!

Beautiful Beachfront Condo

My husband and I spent 3 nights at this beautifully renovated unit. The pictures do not do it justice! The unit was well stocked with anything you could need, from a large array of spices to thick plush bath towels and high quality bed linens. There were beach towels, chairs and umbrellas available to take to the beach. The view from the lanai was breathtaking. Brian was great to work with, answering our questions prior to the trip promptly, and checking in on us upon arrival and during our stay. We would highly recommend this unit and we plan to come back!

Nicest unit

We have stayed in the Inverness 8 times. This unit was the nicest and bidets 1 bedroom unit we have ever stayed in. So many nice little added amenities…paper napkins, binoculars, beach chairs and umbrellas, games, plenty of toilet paper and towels (good quality), very nice beach towels, good range of kitchen utensils, all quality items. Overall wall decor was quite tasteful, but there were too many nic nac items covering the tables an taking up room on the floor using space for me to set my stuff.

Hidden gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We have frequented a good number and the attention to the soothing decor was unmatched. The “beach/“under the sea” theme added so much to the comfort and the experience of being beachfront. Even the balcony decor was amazing, as we spent hours relaxing, talking and listening to the waves. The property was also spotless. It would have been nice to have had a booklet of info with recommendations for local restaurants and things to do in the area. To be clear, not supplying this information did not detract from enjoying our stay. We highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay again.

Relaxing stay with a great view of the beach!

The condo is nicely updated and the view is unparalleled. It’s also very walkable to some good food options and shopping. One note is that the bed is a little noisy and may keep up light sleepers. Other than that our stay was delightful!

South Padre Anniversary Retreat

We enjoyed our stay, from the amazing balcony view of the Gulf, to the location which is walking distance to restaurants and shops. The condo is beautifully decorated and filled with all of the comforts you could hope to have. We made use of the beach chairs, beach towells, umbrella, and enjoyed hours on the beach, just steps away from the property. The hosts were welcoming and provided great instructions prior to our visit. Would definitely stay there again.

Vacation at SPI

The condo was exceptionally clean. Brian messaged me and asked if everything was ok and if he could do anything. Replied that everything was perfect as it was. Anything you would need for cooking are provided. I didn’t cook as I cook at home and went out for meals. The view off the deck is spectacular. Sat on deck and had morning coffee and watched the sunrise. Beach was a little crowded but that’s expected this time of year. Anything you would need is close as far as entertainment or eating establishments. If you’re going to SPI I would recommend this place to stay as number one on your list.

Michael and I really enjoyed our stay in this condo. Peggy Sue did a beautiful job decorating. The ocean breeze on the patio was awesome. Another plus is the Island Metro stops right outside the building and it provides free transportation on the island. Thank you, Brian and Peggy Sue, for letting us stay in your place.

May Anniversary Trip

The individual condo was excellent. Very well designed and comfortable. The patio was great to overlook the beach. Kitchen was perfect size and had all the tools you need. Only downfall was both elevators were out (but not the owner of this condo's fault). Not an issue until we checked out with all our stuff. And could use more than one mirror in entire place to help with getting ready with multiple people. But overall a place I would come back to.

Return to Normal

We traditionally stay at this condo on the weekend close to San Jacinto Day. We love the layout and view, the pool to the side rather than in sight, and the easy access to the beach. We've missed it the last two years with the pandemic, so this time was particularly sweet. It is nicely decorated and well-equipped. As just one example, but an important one, there are rugs at all the entrances.

Beautiful views and condo

We loved relaxing out on the big balcony every morning and evening. The condo was just as beautiful as the pictures with everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. We would definitely recommend staying here! We talked to others that were staying in very outdated condos in the same building and we felt very lucky that we chose this one! Brian was very responsive throughout the whole process from the first questions I sent, to booking and updating our dates, to checking out. We also got to see fireworks off the balcony one night.

Not the owners fault

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is lovely and looks just like the pictures. The things that we didn't enjoy. Definitely the wind. When the wind blows really hard there is a clanking noise you can hear from inside. The owner came over and tried to cushion the rail he thought was rattling in the wind. It didn't work. I honestly don't know

Great place with perfect beach view

The inside of the condo is first class and modern. It is obvious from the moment you walk in that the owners put a lot of care into this unit. Kitchen is very nice with new appliances. Bathroom and shower are first class. Nothing was done on the cheap. Large deck is open to the north and has a breathtaking panoramic view of the beach. A lot of TLC went into this unit. Great communication before, during and after the stay from the owners assuring you are 100% satisfied with your stay. We have been to the island a dozen or so times and have never stayed in a nicer place. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Brian

Host profile image
My wife and I got our education in Texas, got married in Texas, and gave birth to our daughter in Texas. Then I started working as an engineer in the automotive industry and we moved to Michigan where we lived for about 25 years. I retired from that job and we moved back to Texas to get away from the snow, and to be able to ride our motorcycles year round. We love South Padre Island and wanted a place for family to come visit. This is our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We chose this condo for several reasons.

First, the section of beach in front of the building is less busy than other areas of the beach. Public beach access in this area is limited, therefore the beach does not get very crowded.

Second, this area of the Island is quiet and peaceful, but you can easily walk North or South for some excitement. Clayton's Beach Bar is only 0.7 miles to the North, and Wanna Wanna is less than half a mile to the South.

We especially enjoy the sunrise while drinking our morning coffee on the balcony. Since we are located on the North corner of the building the views up the island are fantastic, and you can even see the fireworks show every weekend in the summer.

The building recently completed a $2.5 million exterior renovation that includes new railings, new paint, tiled walkways, elevator improvements, and access gates to the inside parking areas.

What makes this property unique

Our corner balcony faces the water and gives views of the beach, and the island to the North. This is a great place to sit with a fresh cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the Gulf. From the front door you can see the island and watch sunsets over the bay. During the summer, weekend fireworks shows can be seen from both the gulf side, and the bay side of the condo.
