The property is outstanding. Plenty of room, amenities and access to the beach. The bedrooms are spacious and the house was very homey. I have already shared the property with 5 of my friends and family and hope they look at it and go enjoy.
The communication with Melissa was spectacular and she was quick to answer. Definitely want to go back there. Book them today. You won’t regret it.
Our family of 11 really enjoyed Palm Paradise. There was plenty of room for everyone and we loved the beautiful pool and patio area! The convenient location was great. Just walked across the street to the beach! Melissa was very attentive to any of our questions! Would definitely recommend Palm Paradise!

Perfect Group Getaway
We had an extended family vacation and this house was perfect for that. We loved how close it was to the beach to hang out and build sand sculptures and then heading back to the pool and spa to relax. We didn't rent a car and it went fine. Between the golf cart, bikes, walking and free bus service we easily got everywhere that we wanted to go. Would totally stay there again.

We really enjoyed hosting your group!! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This is a great house for multiple families and age groups - lots of places to hang out together and apart. Easy walk to the beach and the water was gorgeous. The extra fridge on the garage was helpful too.Kids loves the pool and the slides.
The house was very accommodating for our large group. Such a perfect place for making memories in South Padre!

Best Vacation Home
Our family of 14 fit perfectly! We take a yearly vacation and this was by far the best one. The house had it all for cooking, playing and beach fun! We can’t wait to go back and this time for more days God willing.
Great stay as usual! This is our third time to stay at PP. Great location and house!

THE PERFECT BEACH GETAWAY
We absolutely LOVED this home!!! This was the perfect place to spend a short weekend with friends to enjoy sun, drinks, and memories that will last forever. Even though the beach was a minute walk away, we especially enjoyed the beautiful pool and the wonderful amenities included!! This home has everything you could possibly need for a beach or pool day, (the number of beach towels were a life saver). We are so excited that we have found a reliable beach home that works for both an adult trip and a family trip.
It had everything we needed. Close to beach for the sunrise. Pool area was accommodating to all ages. Enjoyed the large dining room table for family dinners.

Great Rental Home in South Padre Island, TX
Great home for a large group. Plenty of space, bedrooms, bathrooms (very nice bath towels also) and beds! Additions that clinched this deal for us was the inclusion of a golf cart, plenty of beach chairs, beach mats, beach umbrellas, and BEACH/POOL TOWELS! Excellent heated pool and hot tub, beautiful outdoor space with plenty of outdoor furniture. Trees and plants surround the backyard also. Two front load washing machines and front load dryers. Two water heaters provided plenty of hot water (we had 14 family members). Well-appointed kitchen with adequate dishes, bowls, cups, flatware, pots, pans, cooking utensils, blender, toaster, double oven, microwave. Large dining table with lots of chairs. Comfortable living room also. Another great addition is refrigerator/freezer in the garage. Beach access right across the street. We did have a few hiccups, but the host was very responsive and these issues were remedied quickly! We would stay here again if our travel plans took us to SPI again!

What a fantastic review!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write one. We enjoyed hosting you and would love the opportunity to host your group again.
This house fulfilled all our needs for our family vacation. Its appearance in person matched the advertised photos. The hosts were very engaged with us and were very accommodating. A great experience.
We stayed with a group of 21 family members from age 3 to 94. The house was perfect for a large group and had every amenity you could need. The pool and hot tub were great. The beach was close. The excursions were close. The host was very responsive. Overall it was a great place to stay. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Hayes
We are a large family that loves to travel!!! We want to share our beautiful home on the beach with other large families and groups so that you can create your own priceless memories just like we have.
Why they chose this property
This property has an amazing location!!! Right on Gulf Blvd in front of Beach Access #2 in the city. We knew that once we remodeled the house it would be the perfect location in the city and to the water. With 34 miles of beautiful white sand and clear emerald water, South Padre Island is one of the world's most exquisite barrier islands – and the only tropical Island in Texas. Calm weather, water, and more than 300 days of sunshine make South Padre Island a great place to live and visit all year. It's more than just a beach, it's filled with history, ecotourism at the Sea Turtle rescue, surf lessons, fishing, some of the best sandcastle building in the world, and full of Southern hospitality. There is a free bus system called the Wave, but I highly recommend renting a car for getting around. There is a bus stop very close to our house.
What makes this property unique
We have a super fun slide for kids and adults that goes into our heated/ cooled pool. We also have a hidden slide in the kid's bunk room that goes from the 3rd floor down to the 2nd floor. There is a wardrobe access for the adults to check on the kids if needed. We also have made some cool lounging spots on the balconies. One has a hammock and the other has a big beach bed. The best part of this property is the backyard oasis. So many comfy lounging areas, beautiful palm trees, colorful lighting, and grill makes this the perfect family hangout.
