The Space:
Guest review: "This was a great place for our stay in South Padre. So close to the beach made it wonderful!... We loved that you could walk almost anywhere from here and get what you want - food drinks, beach and shopping. Very clean and great location - we would stay there again!"

This is the perfect space for leisure and work, ideal for surfers, couples, families, and anyone looking for a beach getaway.

South Padre Island, or SPI, is a tropical oasis located off the southern tip of Texas. SPI is the largest of the Texas barrier islands and the world's longest barrier island. It offers the unsurpassed beauty of the Laguna Madre Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and is the ideal year-round destination for visitors seeking a getaway from the daily grind.

Guest Access:
There are two free marked parking spaces right in front of the property, and the beach is a 2 minute walk away. "Cafe on the beach" is just across the street. Many other cafes, restaurants and island's entertainment district are within 2 minute drive. No need to worry about keys, as you'll receive a unique code to access the smart lock.

The Neighborhood:
South Padre Island, or SPI, is noted for its white sandy beaches, its sparkling blue water and a mixture of fun activities for kids of all ages.

Powder-soft beaches line South Padre Island's sun-soaked shores, and gentle, shallow waves of the Gulf of Mexico tumble onto land. This postcard-perfect setting has helped South Padre gain fame as a prime year-round beach haven for families, couples.

There’s more to SPI than beach revelry. Kiteboarding is a favorite pastime and several sports outfitters offer deep-sea fishing trips and dolphin-watching excursions.

By day, most travelers opt to curl up on the beach and catch serious rays. As the sun dips below the horizon and darkness falls, South Padres nightlife springs into action, with a number of popular beach haunts rocking 'til the wee hours.

The consistently warm weather also seduces northern Texans seeking refuge from the cold.

Getting Around:
Beach access is #12 Bay Dream, turning right from the property towards Gulf, beach access is on the left of The Palms Resort.

"Cafe on the beach" is just across the street. Many other cafes, restaurants and island's entertainment district are within 2 minute drive.

There is no better way to enjoy Texas' only tropical island and my place than to watch fireworks @ the Laguna Madre or the Gulf of Mexico.

During summer of 2022, SPI has a number of fireworks at night:

Tuesdays 9:15 pm @Louie's Backyard
Thursday 9:15 pm @Isla Grand Beach Resort
Fridays & Saturdays 9 pm @Courtyard by Marriott and Clayton's Beach Bar & Grill

Other Things to Note:
We recommend drinking bottled/spring water rather than drinking from the tap on the island, and we provide guests with two bottles of water when they arrive.

Like many hosts, we follow Airbnb cancellation policies. For any questions on your last minute cancellation, please reach out to Airbnb for clarification.
