Single-family house with pool: 2-min Walk to Beach

MaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Peggy made us feel right at home. The house was so close to the beach that we walked there multiple times a day. There was a nice outside shower to wash all the sand off before coming inside which kept the house feeling pristine. There were two large upstairs bedrooms with their own bathrooms and a shared mini-fridge which was ideal for giving our young adult children their own space to relax, watch movies, and talk late into the night, while my husband and I enjoyed the downstairs area of the house. It worked out perfectly for our family vacation!

Pool, Beach, Repeat

VijayaraniRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was one of the best vacations ever. The accommodations were not disappointing. The condo was beautifully decorated and very clean. We had one problem, but it was taken care of immediately by our hosts, they are very responsive. We loved the extra care they took by providing toiletries, a very nice pack and play crib with a great mattress for my granddaughter and very nice bed linens. It was an overall 10 stars! The location is fantastic so close to very nice shops and restaurants. The pool is very nice with an excellent filtration system that keeps the water very clean. We highly recommend Jeff and Sibylle’s place and we will book again in the near future. Thank you both so much for creating such a wonderful and lovely space with lots of warmth and love. My hat is off to you both. 👒

We used this home for a family vacation and had an amazing time. Check-in was simple. It was clean and looked like the pictures. Beach entrance was just down the street and walkable for toddlers. Pool area was nice and has a bathroom so you didn’t have to walk upstairs. It is a very nice house and the hosts had a reasonable response time.

The instructions were very clear, and the host messaged us a few times during our stay to make sure everything was going well. They had extra things like a picnic basket and some beach toys that I didn’t realize they would have so it was awesome getting to use those. I would absolutely stay here again!

Your guide to South Padre Island

Introduction

Located just two miles off the southern tip of Texas, South Padre Island is a true tropical paradise with white-sand beaches and warm waters. It’s well known as a lively spring break destination, but when the college students head home, this sunny barrier island becomes a favorite with families and beachgoers of all ages. Thrill-seekers can snorkel, surf, and jet-ski, or take kiteboarding and wind-surfing lessons. You can go deep-sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and ask a local seafood restaurant to prepare your catch. And when you want some solitude, head to the 30 miles of undeveloped shoreline north of town to find your own private stretch of beach.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in South Padre Island

For most of the year, the weather along the Texas Gulf Coast is hot and humid. On South Padre Island, the summertime highs of around 90 degrees Fahrenheit are tempered by breezes that come from both sides of the island. Late summer brings rain and a chance of hurricanes in September and October, and during the short, mild winters, when the average temperature is around 65 degrees, sun-seeking visitors book one of the condo rentals here to escape colder temperatures. And because South Padre Island enjoys 300 days of sunshine each year, you’ll want to pack a sun hat and plenty of sunscreen no matter when you visit.


Top things to do in South Padre Island

The Sand Sculpture Trail

There are around 30 professionally made sandcastle sculptures scattered across the island, and their designs range from grand sand mansions to locally themed artworks. Grab a map at the visitors’ bureau and tour the installations yourself, or book a sandcastle lesson with a local sand artist.

The Laguna Madre Nature Trail

Get to know the island’s flora and fauna from this 1,500-foot boardwalk. Birders come for the waterfowl, shorebirds, and songbirds that pass through the marshland around the nature trail, but this is also just a lovely spot for an evening stroll.

Isla Blanca Park

A local favorite, Isla Blanca boasts prime dolphin watching, great fishing spots, boating facilities, and a beachfront amusement park. You’ll also find El Cristo de los Pescadores (Christ of the Fishermen) statue, a memorial to fishermen lost at sea.
