Beautiful house!
Loved the open concept of the living/kitchen area. We were all able to be together without feeling crammed. The kitchen was equiped with anything and everything we needed. Having the wagon and chairs in storage was very convenient. The outside bar/pool are was one of the best ive seen. We loved it!

Could use some tweaking but overall a fun place to hang out
2 adults, 2 teens (9 nights) [Edited for character count] ROOMY: Plenty to comfortably bring more kids NEIGHBORHOOD: Quiet/peaceful (A tall house being built next door has about 3 months left of construction.) PLAY: Great pool, hot tub, and games in the bar area BEDS: Comfortable COMMUNICATION: Response time is quick. 💫💫💫💫Gave 4 stars due to two things that couldn't be changed after arrival, so we didn't contact owners about it. • Lock holding the keys for check-in was already displaying the access code when I opened the flap! Anyone could have opened the case and made copies of keys. • None of the windows in the house can close all the way, so cold air constantly triggered the heater to come on. Provided little buffer from pool heater noise & dog barks at night. It's also a security concern. [Ideas for repairs/improvements] • Floors were dirty upon arrival & made our feet dirty. We cleaned them, of course. • Faucet in a bathroom is corroded, & water constantly pools on counter. • Kitchen needs serious editing. No room for our pantry items. Also, too many of some cooking items & not any of others. • Consumable supplies were skimpy. Only 2 kitchen trash bags for our 9 days. Doesn't make sense for us to buy a pack of trash bags when we only need 1 or 2 more. Please include laundry pods (4-5, depending on # of guests/week) & dishwasher pods (for 1-2 washes/day) Overall, this is a good place to stay in a peaceful neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Gerald & Kathy Magee

Host profile image
We are both from northern Missouri. We had moved many times in our married life but all within the Midwest, working and raising our family. We both retired in 2007 after full career's and knew we wanted to move to a warm climate. The question was where. Over the next couple of years of traveling to several southern states we concluded that we wanted Texas to be our home. Neither of us had ever visited South Padre Island and our first thoughts were a lake home. We spent two different vacations touring Texas. As we traveled further south we finally ended up in the valley and stayed several nights on the island while traveling through the valley. By the time we had to go back to Missouri, we realized we had found the place we were looking. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the fishing, the easy-going island life all was perfect for what we were looking.
Gerald and Kathy have owned a home on South Padre Island for over eight years. Gerald in retail business for 40 years and Kathy in customer service the majority of her career, they know how valuable customer service and referrals are to make a business successful. It is our goal that we provide families and guests with the most relaxing and beautiful environment possible. We operate by the principle that vacation home owners must create an island home setting that they would want to live in themselves and be proud to share it with family and friends. If it is not good enough for family and friends, then it is not good enough to lease. We would be proud for any of our friends or family to stay at either Destination Constellation or Destination Coral Cove.
The decision to purchase Destination Constellation came with great consideration for our visitors to SPI. We have worked diligently to provide a clean, safe, and colorful environment for your family and guests to enjoy.
We look forward to accommodating your needs.
Gerald and Kathy Magee

Why they chose this property

We bought Destination Constellation because it is located on the same street which we live, only two doors down. Constellation Drive is one of the nicest streets on the South Padre Island. Constellation is approximately two miles from the Queen Isabella Causeway, far enough away from the heavier traffic during high season to remain a relatively calm neighborhood. There are only about ten permanent residents on East Constellation Drive. Many of the remaining units are vacation homes for the owners. There are no multi-story condominium units on our street. Destination Constellation is conveniently located in walking distance to so many amenities. Within minutes, guests can walk to the Wanna Wanna Bar, Palm’s Resort, Blackbeard’s Restaurant plus multiple other restaurants, golf cart rental, post office, convenience stores. There is a sunset view of the Laguna Madre and on many calm days and evenings, guests can hear the waves turning over on the beach and smell the sea mist from the Gulf waters. Easy access to the beach was a number one priority. At the end of East Constellation is Aquarius Circle Beach Access #18, only a a couple minute walk from Destination Constellation to paradise. Yet when returning from that day on the beach or other activities, we believe that you have another unique taste of paradise around the pool and backyard of Destination Constellation.
Destination Constellation will feel like your home away from home for your family and guests. Whether playing with family in the waves at the beach or relaxing in the hot-tub that overlooks and flows into the pool, the environment at your beach get-away will create beautiful memories.

What makes this property unique

Formally a duplex, the home has now been transformed into a four bedrooms with two full baths and a half bath next to the pool. The kitchen is fully stocked and the wet bar is ready for the bartender to go to work for families to retreat to their own private area to rest and relax. A washer/dryer unit has been provided for your convenience.

We are excited about the wide open concept to provide a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home that can accommodate up to 14 guests It is perfect for large families traveling together. There is room for each family member to have their own space inside or gathering together in the great room or enjoy gathering to relax under the covered patio and outdoor pool area.

The kitchen is complete with granite counters as well as all of the appliances, equipment, and cooking amenities/utensils needed to prepare that special island meal for your family and friends.
