About this property
2-min Walk to Beach, Private House with Heated Pool
The Opal Wave is wonderful 3-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom single-family home with a private pool that is heated during winter months (Nov - Feb). It has two stories, a two-car garage, and plenty of space to accommodate up to 13 guests comfortably. When you're ready to be in the sun and by the waves, the public beach access is just a 2-minutes walk from the front door!

2,363 Sq Ft. One bedroom down, two bedrooms up, all with ensuite full bathroom. Fully stocked kitchen with reverse osmosis drinking wate. Private Pool that is heated during winter months (Nov - Feb). Fully fenced backyard. 2-car garage for guests to use.
Our nightly price depends on the number of guests, children included. Additional guest fee applies for guest #7 and above till the maximum occupancy. Please indicate your exact number of guests at booking and the quote will reflect that. If you increase the number of guests after your reservation is made, additional guest fee may apply.
We allow only house-trained pets with a $100 pet fee per pet each stay. Additional pet fee may apply if you bring more pets than indicated at booking. Maximum four pets allowed on premises. Clean after your pets or additional cleaning fee will be charged.
The swimming pool is heated during winter months (Nov – March), and the water temperature setting is set at 84°F. The actual swimming pool water temperature may be or may not be at 84 deg since this largely depends on the air temperature and wind factors which are not within our control. If there is a big drop in air temperature, the water temperature will drop also even though our motor is still set to run at 84 deg. Owner or Agent cannot be held accountable for the water temperature of the pool. Owner guarantees that the pool heater is set at 84 degrees for the pool. If on the rare occasion that the air temperature drops below 50 degrees, our pool heater will shut off due to the strain on the motor to keep it from burning out. There is not anything anyone can do to override this safety feature.

The Master suite has a King size bed, a single bed in the large closet room, smart TV, a private Master bathroom with double vanity, large soaking tub and stand alone shower.

This was our third time staying, because we love it that much. Walking distance to the beach, plus the pool is always a hit with my family. Pet friendly, will definitely stay again!
Host was very welcoming and quick to respond to all communication. House was beautiful with prime location for everything, but why would you want to go anywhere when you’re staying at this house? So inviting, extremely well equipped with EVERYTHING, exceptionally clean and heated pool to boot! If I could rate this with a million stars, I would!! Quiet, clean, warm and so, so comfortable!! We’ve traveled the world using VRBO (at least most of Europe and the US), and this place…..by far the BEST!
We had a wonderful easter weekend in South Padre Island. House was close to everything, didn't need to rent a golf cart or anything. Couldn't ask for a better place :)
This rental is absolutely precious. The details make it feel like the host genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay. From the rugs available next to the be
Great communication with host, great location, easy check in and check out. We stayed for a couple of days and we were a block to the beach, which was wonderful. Centralized location so we were close to everything we wanted to visit. House is clean, we ate out so did not use much of the utensils, plates and stove. Great overall, would come again.
This place was spacious, clean, and set up with everything we needed. Convenient location and seamless easy check in. Perfect choice for a comfortable getaway! Thank you would do it all over again ..
Great place, close to a lot of things. Pool looked dirty and their shower up stairs was still dirty.

Thanks for the review and I am sorry you did not have a 5 star experience. We appreciate all feedback. Wish you would have let me know about the clean issues I would have sent someone over immediately. Hope you will be pleased to know that I have changed the pool cleaning person who now does the job to my expectation.
Wonderful home! Loved the location great place to spend time with family, host was amazing and very active in making sure that we had everything ready for arrival!
We loved all the room and the setup in each bedrooms. The bed was comfy and close to alot of things for walking and restaurants and shopping. Only thing we were disappointed was the pool wasnt heated..loved our stay and would come back!
Our stay was comfortable. That property has a great location and there are lots of restaurants and bars around. And there is a sea nearby. Thank you so much for your service.
