Relax in paradise at this dreamy South Padre Island condo, which boasts a shared pool, great location just half a mile from the beach, and room for up to six guests.

Walk down to the white sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico to build sand castles, surf, boogie board, and so much more. On your way back home, take a short detour to grab a bite to eat, shop, and see the sights of the island.

This two-bedroom condo is nicely upgraded with features such as leather sofas in the living room across from a flatscreen TV, making movie nights a must after a long day in the sunshine. This condo comes with WiFi, cable, and a DVD player.

With a full kitchen (major and small appliances included), there's no need to break the budget eating out for every meal, and there is plenty of seating among the high-top table and barstools.

Down the hall is a washer and dryer, two full bathrooms, and two bedrooms. One has a queen-size bed and the other features two twin-size beds. Add in the living room sofabed and there's room for all six to sleep well each night.

South Padre Island truly is a great destination location and is bursting with all kinds of activities to please everyone. Spend days on the beach fishing, parasailing, kiteboarding, on scuba diving excursions, and much more. Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark is two and a half miles south. Cafe Kranzler and Tom and Jerry's eateries are barely a half-block away so you can take a break from cooking one night. Padre Boulevard close by houses more delicious restaurants and charming boutiques.

Disappointed
Not worth the money spent. Besides the refrigerator not working and our food spoiling there were people at the pool getting very loud. At one point these people were taking their clothes off.

It was pleasant!!
This stay was very pleasant. A few lights need to be fixed within the home and the main shower could have been cleaned properly, but other than those few things the stay was great. Definitely will be back next year!!

No internet
Nice location a few blocks off the gulf, close to restaurants and quiet. Could have used a forth chair for the dining table. We needed internet for work and had to go to a bar to get it. We finally got internet on our last day and had to use the neighbors network and password. Accommodations were ok. All of the sink faucets leak. Pool was nice. Love the area

Wanted to love it but…
The property was clean which was the best thing but the lack of the small things that make any experience better is why we wouldn’t rent this place again or recommend it. For example, out of the 8 units in this complex this one (Unit 8) was the only one without a front doormat to help minimize the amount of sand tracked into the condo and it had no little patio set like any of the others. In addition in the inside there were no small rugs or hooks or towel hangers anywhere so sand tracked everywhere on cold tile floor meant sand in beds and showers, kitchen, etc. The broom was rusted though as well so no sweeping during our stay just an older model vacuum that we used as much as possible. Lastly, the furniture was in rough shape. The end table had broken legs and was leaning haphazardly against the wall with a busted lamp and lamp shade and the queen size bed was so uncomfortable it’s hard to describe.

Good location bad experience
The location was perfect and place was clean. We had a problem with the shower immediately and resulted in no water the first day. However, they immediately responded and help was sent. I believe the host’s communication could’ve been better. The “office number” was busy at 9pm and I had to call an 800 number for help. A bit disappointed and annoyed but I understand stuff happens. We also weren’t granted closet space for a room for personal belongings. Other than all this, it’s a perfect walk to the beach

needs to be cleaner and really needs to be updated
needs to have a much better cleaning routine before new people arrives, we had NO WFI the whole month we were there the property has a nice location, nice layout, but the furniture is in very bad shape, one of three TVs worked, and seems to have bits and pieces of old TVs, old furniture stuffed in drawers and closets, not the quietest place either

Mindi Z., Salado, TX

Missed the mark
The location of the property was good. There are showers by the pool to rinse your feet and beach stuff which was great. The layout was nice, but the property was badly neglected. Broken tile, TV in guest room didn’t work, garbage disposal didn’t work, kitchen sink wouldn’t drain, fridge/freezer wouldn’t get cold, coffee table and end table had broken legs. It was a hassle having a corporate owned property...call 1800 number, leave messages about problems, etc. finally got a local rep who got maintenance on board, but not having a fridge/freezer that works until day 3 is unacceptable. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay in unit #8. The condo was just as described. Full kitchen and anything you need to cook if wanted. My children enjoyed the selection of TV channels as well as the pool area. Just the right size for them. The unit was clean, and the beds very comfortable. Location is very close to restaurants and shops and 1 block from beach. We appreciated the welcome bag that provided extra toilet paper and paper towels. Minor updates needed, like light bulbs and grout in master shower. Our visit was during Spring Break and didn't really like that the other units where full of young party goers. Taking parking spots and throwing up right next to our car, but other than that the unit and the management was 5 stars.

Very nice property!!
That property is very nice!! I have no complaints at all. But, I do have a few suggestions. To help keep your property in top condition, buy cleaning supplies to help keep your property clean. If it's available, renters will use it. Everyone wants the place they are staying clean while they are there. They know it's not a hotel. Also, you don't allow grilling on the property but you have charcoal on the property. (And another tenant was grilling while we were there). It's a vacation for the people staying, so grilling is a part of the vacation to help cut some cost from eating out. Just because there is a grill, doesn't mean there is a party. But, other than that, great place, and would recommend to anyone. Hopefully I can get my family there again. Thanks for the great hospitality and letting us enjoy your home!!!

Awesome Summer Vacation
We have been coming to SPI since I was a child and now I have the opportunity to bring my family to one of our favorite beaches. We loved the location, and loved the condo it had all that we needed and more, I have already started making recommendations to my friends and family. Thank you, Lopez Family

The condo was very nice and in a good location. The only complaint was about the neighbors having to many people in one condo and making a lot of noise. We didn't want to cause problems so we ignored it. The overall weekend was good. Thanks

Great Stay!!
Condo was very, very nice and clean. So glad I decided to stay here versus a hotel which I was looking at. Vacasa the management team was also great. They called to tell me that the condo was ready early for us to check in as well as I left my computer in the condo and they immediately went and retrieved it and fedex'd it to me. I would definitely stay there again!
