Beautiful and cozy bayfront getaway at Port Isabel

KrystalRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We stayed here with 3 small children and 2 dogs. This place had everything you could possibly need to feel like a home away from home! From the hi-chairs, extra pool toys, ice chest all the way down to doggie bowls and a kennel; they have thought of everything! There way plenty of family activities to enjoy. The pool was definitely a hit. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely plan a trip back!

The Mother of Pearl- 26 Val

TissaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Fabulous! Private, quiet, and what a beautiful view. All the small touches made a difference: beach chairs and umbrellas in the garage so you can head out for the day. Close to everything: 25 minutes to the beautiful beaches on South Padre Island, 15 minutes to grocery stores, 5 minutes from the pool and clubhouse. You can walk in the gated community for miles. We came for a quiet getaway and it was perfect. Comfortable beds, comfortable and spacious living spaces. The host was so responsive when we needed anything or had questions, and came over within minutes to show us how to use something. Highly recommend for your trip down here!

Daniel M Rating, 5 stars5 days ago
The home was exactly like Luis and Csilla said it was! They were very thoughtful in explaining everything and very responsive to any questions you might have. The home is very close to many activities and restaurants. I would definitely rent from them again. My sisters and I are already talking about booking again. Hopefully soon!! But with other family members. It’s peaceful, quiet and also beautiful sun rises and sun sets!! It’s definitely a place to say Home Sweet Home!! Loved it!! Thank you for the hospitality!!

Heated Pool, Top-Floor Condo @ Beach Center

AaronRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great place to stay if you’re in the area. The host is nice and responds pretty quick which I like a lot. Also the location is perfect. Walking distance to the beach access, walking distance to the arcade, candy store and ice cream shop if you have kids. and walking distance to Luis back yard and more bars for the adults. And also walking distance to restaurants. We were literally right behind wingstop and meatball cafe. Location was the best! House was clean, pool area was clean, beds were comfortable and the central air conditioning was good. If I had to knock one thing I wish there was more parking space. You only get 2 parking spots and we had 3 vehicles. BUT we made it work. But other than that it’s worth my hard earned money. I for sure recommend it, and I for sure will be booking again in my future. Stay blessed everyone.

Casita de Linda

MarcusRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I’ve been using air bnb air sometime now, and this experience with Renato’s place has exceeded all my expectations by far . I will go as far as to say this stay has been my best yet so far with this app . Renato was not only friendly and responsive but went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure me and my girl friend were comfortable. I would with out hesitation recommend this place to any one traveling to the area . The place was squeaky clean and had a bunch of amenities and extras such as supplies I forgot to bring, a closing drive way fence to give you that extra peace of mind. The beds were super comfy, lots of extra blankets , ac worked perfectly . Really just felt like home to us. We will definitely be back again.

What a great place! We walked to the beach daily, it was quiet in the evenings, yet we were so close to shopping. The condo was very clean and the hosts were just wonderful! They were very quick with responses to any questions and had lots of suggestions for shopping and fun. They even let us know about a rocket launch 🚀 happening. That was so cool to get to see.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived! It’s even closer to the beach than it looked in photos! Beautiful view as soon as you open the door. Walking distance to restaurants and coffee shop and home had everything we needed. WE LOVED THE BATHROOMS IN EVERY ROOM! The garage was big enough to park an suv in which is not always the case. Jennifer was really helpful and answered all of my questions

Island Treasure - Pool, Walk to Beach, Dining

ValerieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our group really enjoyed our stay. We arrived early and Johnny allowed us to check in a few hours early which we really appreciated that so much. The house is very nice and well equipped with dishes, glasses, spices etc.. it also has two grills propane gas grill and flat top grill which is very nice. My favorite part was the kitchen and the rain showers. I will say it’s a lot of stairs so if you have limited mobility keep that in mind. It’s one bedroom downstairs but the other 3 bedrooms are upstairs. Lastly, I prefer a soft plush mattress, but most of the bedrooms had firm mattresses however we made the best of it and would recommend this home.

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.
