Beachfront 2BR, 5th Floor Views, Wakable SPI

Summary:

Embassy Condos Unit 502 sits on the 5th floor at 2600 Gulf Blvd, directly on the beach and a short walk from South Padre Island's entertainment district — a combination almost no other beachfront property on the island can claim. Two bedrooms, two baths, up to 6 guests, with a sweeping patio view of the Gulf & beach that opens straight from the living room. Pool, tennis courts, elevator access, and a quiet family complex that sits a walkable distance to some of the best restaurants and bars on the island.



The Space:

Five reasons to book:



5th floor beachfront patio with a sweeping Gulf view — you’ll see the moment you walk in



Beachfront AND walkable to the entertainment district — bars, dining, and things to do - within a few blocks



Book 4 nights and the 5th (lowest cost) night is free. Message us for details.



4 full beds across both bedrooms (2 in each), plus sleeper sofa and full airbed — room for everyone



In-unit washer/dryer, electric BBQ grill on the patio, and elevator straight to the 5th floor



The floor plan does something simple that a lot of condos get wrong: it pulls your eye straight through from the front door to the Gulf. Kitchen and breakfast bar up front, living room in the center, and the patio door at the far end framing the ocean view.



The kitchen is fully equipped for real home cooking — pots, pans, dishes, everything needed to run a meal and save money on eating out every night. The full dining room table seats the group properly, and the counter stools at the breakfast bar handle the quicker, more casual mornings.



The guest bedroom sits to the left of the kitchen with two full beds and a Smart TV. The living room has a large sectional with a pull-out sleeper sofa and a new oversized flat screen for game days and movie nights. The master bedroom is closest to the ocean — unique in that it has two full beds, en suite full bathroom, and windows overlooking the water. This space does not have a king bed



Out on the 5th floor patio: an electric BBQ grill (available after July 16) and the kind of elevation that puts the whole beach in front of you with actual airflow. The in-unit washer and dryer make longer stays genuinely convenient, and the elevator means no hauling gear up stairs.



A straight note on the property: this is an island original, not a fresh remodel. It's well-maintained, set up well, and priced honestly — guests who book here are coming for the views, the location, and the quiet complex, not for brand-new finishes. That's the right way to think about it and we do not want to disappoint you.



Starter supplies provided: linens, bath towels, face and hand towels, soaps, shampoos, dishwasher pods, coffee, filters, creamer, and sweetener — starter amounts, not restocked during your stay. Beach towels are not provided; bring your own. If you plan on using the sleeper sofa or the airbed, bring bedding for those surfaces — all other beds come dressed and ready.



Please Note: Embassy Condos will be having some building repairs done - hence the discounted rates being offered from September 12 2026 to Feb 1st, 2027



Important to know that the construction crews have working days, Monday thru Saturday from

9 am to 7 pm



You need to know and agree to this:

* Could be extremely noisy due to cutting into concrete repairs

* Possibly lots of dust.

* Construction Swing Stages

* Some Scaffolding

* Construction workers on Balconies (no access thru units only via swing stage)



If you are ok with all of this, you will enjoy a very discounted rate. We will not honor nor agree to any sorts of discounts nor compensation during this time period as it is clearly stated these issues WILL be occcuring.



You still can enjoy the beach in front and pool areas. The condo itself inside will be properly working



SLEEPING (Up to 6 Guests)

Master bedroom: Two full beds, en suite full bathroom, windows with ocean view. Second bedroom: Two full beds, Smart TV. Living room: full-size pull-out sleeper sofa — bring your own bedding — and a full-size airbed with pump provided, also bring your own bedding. The 6-guest maximum includes infants and toddlers



PARKING

One off-street parking space is included at no charge — free, unlike hotels on the island that charge per car. This unit comes with one space; overflow parking is not guaranteed at the complex but there is guest parking outside the gate - not guaranteed. Gulf Blvd in front of the building typically has free street parking, and the Post Office is a last alternative if you arrive with more than one vehicle and always has space



NEIGHBORHOOD

Embassy sits a few blocks from South Padre's entertainment district — the part of the island most beachfront condos can only reach by car. Bob's on the Bay, Tequila Sunsets, and Driftwood are all walkable for happy hour. Viva on the bay handles the fine dining and craft cocktail end of the evening. The Kraken sports bar runs a 24-foot flat screen for when the game matters and you need a proper setup to watch it.



If your kiddos need something to do there is the Gravity Park, with mini golf, go carts, the gravity drop ride, ferris wheel & a walkable really nice arcade + Dairy Queen



The rarer thing about this location is what it's not – loud. Most complexes near the entertainment strip trade quiet for convenience. Embassy is the exception — a genuinely calm family complex that happens to be within a short walk of everything. That combination is hard to find on this island.



Please note we have multiple units and can rent you more than one. Inquire — we would love to help you out!



High-speed WiFi is included throughout the condo; please note that Spectrum service can be spotty at times, so come prepared with a hotspot on your phone if you have must-do work as it can go down.



DISCOUNTS — JUST ASK

Reduced rates for off-season stays (September 15 – December 15), veterans and active military, and current Texas tackle football coaches (our sons play for Lake Travis in Austin — Go Cavs!). Send a message and ask.



POLICIES

Primary guest must be 25 or older — no exceptions. No pets allowed. Minimum stay is 4 nights; book 4 nights and the 5th night (lowest cost) night is free. Contact us for details

Embassy Condos, Unit 502 | 2600 Gulf Blvd | South Padre Island, TX 78597



Guest Access:

Your stay includes complete private use of the entire two bedroom condo, designed to provide a seamless transition from the front door to the ocean view. In addition to the private living spaces and balcony, guests have full access to shared resort facilities such as the outdoor pool, tennis courts, and elevator for easy floor access. We provide one reserved parking space on site, ensuring you have a dedicated spot throughout your visit, while the surrounding property offers a quiet and family friendly environment just steps from the beach.



The Neighborhood:

The property enjoys a prime location on South Padre Island, offering the rare combination of direct beachfront access and proximity to the local entertainment district. You are just a short walk away from popular island spots such as Bob's on the Bay, Tequila Sunsets, and Driftwood, making it easy to enjoy happy hour or a casual meal without needing your car. For fine dining and craft cocktails, Viva on the Bay is also nearby. If you are traveling with family, Gravity Park is within walking distance and features mini golf, go-karts, a ferris wheel, and a classic arcade. Despite this convenient access to local attractions, the complex remains a quiet and peaceful retreat, providing a relaxing atmosphere that is often hard to find near the heart of the island action.



Getting Around:

One of the best features of this beachfront location is that you can reach most of the local entertainment district on foot, meaning you can easily explore the best bars and restaurants without needing a vehicle. Your stay includes one reserved off-street parking space at the complex. If you are arriving with more than one vehicle, you can find additional free parking at the local post office or the island intermodal bus station. For those traveling by air, the property is accessible via Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport, which is approximately a forty five minute drive from the island.
