Why the Owner Chose Other South Padre Island Properties
I wanted to have a piece of the best beach in Texas to call my own.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Walks on the beach, jumping the waves, fireworks on Friday nights in the summer, lounging on the balcony, eating freshly caught fish, drinking pina coladas & margaritas at the beach bar close by, breathing wonderful air looking at the beautiful starry sky at night. Shopping trips to Mexico.
Shrimp, burgers, and pina coladas on the beach.....yum
Nationally top rated seafood right here on the Island. My parents owned Bartholomew's marina for years, which became the Sea Ranch. My stepfather was Jack Bartholomew a famous fishing guide.
Great food, a tradition for years. Photos of my stepdad Jack Bartholomew fishing adorn the walls.
Horseback riding on the beach; all levels of skill. Owned by a third generation local who I've known all my life.
