Why the Owner Chose Suntide II
We appreciate having the on-site managment and many attributes of Suntide II. Last year we purchased a second unit at Suntide II, Unit 301, after looking at the other locations on the island we choose Suntide II once again.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We are right on the beautiful beach with the pool, beach and the bright Texas sun right outside the door.
Owner's Map of Suntide II
Our family grew up going to the Texas beaches. We loved South Padre the first time we went and love making memories at Suntide II. We looked at all the places on the Island and thought Suntide II was just right. Large enough to have all the amenities but small to feel as if you have your own piece of heaven on earth.

Thank you so much for opeing your home to us. We were in need of rest and refreshment and that is exactly what your condo and SPI provided! We loved the sunrises, watching the crabs and segulls, building sand "things" :) (not exactly castles!), and walks along the beach. The movies and books you provided were wonderful - there was something for everyone! We are so glad that we visited SPI and everyone agrees that we need to come back - SOON!! (From Guestbook)

Our family had a great time relaxing in SPI. We saw the sea turtles, took a dinner catamaran cruise, ate at the amazing sea food places. We found many cool shells and sea life by the beach, learned to surf and even had time for a round of golf and mini golf. It was a wonderful experience and we're all sad to be going back home to Minnesota. The condo has a great place to relax we'll have many great memories from SPI.

Dear Hurt family, This is our 6th year to vacation on SPI, my husband is a minister and I am a school teacher. At first we tried staying one block from the beach and then on Gulf Blvd. Then we began to look at Beach front condos, after 2 or 3, we found your "Southern Home #103"and we love it! It is perfect for our family, we have one daughter, she is 8 yrs old and in the 3rd grade. He has always love the beach and she thinks 103 is the perfect beach-get-a-way! We truly enjoy your place and the re-model has turned our beautiful! All the little extras that you have gone to the trouble of doing, are a big help - "S.P.I. Big Book" is always helpful; the labels on the TV, VCR, remotes, etc. a real blessing! Thanks for all the extras, whereever your travels take you I hope you are treated as well. Next week I will put our reservation in to spend next "Thanksgiving"here at #103, we will go home and start filling our loose change jar and saving toward another wonderful, relaxing stay, building lots more great memories! Thanks again and God Bless! (From Guestbook, 11/19/2007)
