About this property

Bougainvillea Beach House

Located on desirable Gulf Boulevard, this breezy Key West style beach house offers wide views of the beach from the private balcony. A porch swing and rocking chairs make it the perfect place to relax after beach time. Beach access is directly across the street.

This beach house consists of two upstairs vacation units, each with a private balcony.

Inside, the house is richly finished with marble floors, granite counters, and plush, upscale furnishings. A television is in every bedroom, as well as the den. The kitchen is fully equipped. The unit is equipped with a washer and dryer. All linens are provided.

Conveniently located in the center of South Padre Island, it is walking distance to outdoor entertainment (great for teens), restaurants, and even the island grocery store. Across the street is the shuttle stop for the FREE Island shuttle (another teen favorite).

Four guests can sleep comfortably as shown. Well-behaved pets are accepted. We are dog lovers!

Provided are beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels, sand toys, boogie boards, and more. Downstairs is an outdoor shower to rinse sand after beach time.

Want to fish? Our guests receive a discount on private bay fishing in the Laguna Madre.

Very convenient location to beach, restaurants and attractions

The house was very clean and well furnished. The front porch with its swing and chairs was a great place for people watching and reading. The location is across the street from the beach so there is easy access. The host was very friendly and left a very helpful informational notebook about local restaurants and attractions. Would stay here again.

Comfortable and Convenient

My family had a wonderful time. The kitchen had everything we needed, the house was very clean and oh so comfortable. We were just across the street from the beach, close to many restaurants, and yet away from the main hustle and bustle. We all loved our time in this wonderful setting!

Great location and amenities

Excellent location for beach access. Walking distance to coffee house, book store, and more. The 2nd floor covered porch was lovely at all times of the day. An added bonus was a child-guard gate at the top of the stairs which easily kept our small dog with us. Very nicely stocked kitchen. We would definitely book again.

Perfect island get a way

This house has it all. From the comforrable beds to the luxurious towels and well stocked kitchen, this place is better than home because it has a view of the gulf. Lynn and Captain Kevin have thought of everything. The beach access is a short walk, a great cafe is a few blocks away and if that's not enough, you can enjoy the swing and chairs on the balcony while the palms sway in the breeze. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we are already looking at the calendar for next year.

Across the street from the beach

We stayed here in December and loved it. It has a great porch area with comfortable furniture. It was beautiful sitting out in the evening having drinks with the ocean breeze blowing.There were 2 minor minor things that we brought up to the owner and they were repaired within the hour. There were all sorts of beachy things provided, but we just used chairs and an umbrella. The rental was decorated with a Christmas tree and other holiday things. It was very clean, the A/C was ice cold and the bed was super comfortable. Plenty of Kitchen utensils and cooking stuff. When we were there, the street and area was not too busy and it was quiet. Great place.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Mauer

During my "growing up" years, I was fortunate to live in some of the prettiest beaches in America and abroad. My father was career Navy, which means the water or beach was almost always nearby.

I absolutely love having vacationers stay at my beach house! Hearing laughter from happy guests is music.

Why they chose this property

Perfect property. It is all about location.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the prettiest properties on Gulf Boulevard. The beach and beach access is directly across the street. Why come to the beach if you can't hear the waves at night?
