About this property

Modern Tropical Retreat Only 1/2 Block to the Beach w/a Pool & Balcony!

Imagine yourself taking in the South Padre Island breeze from your private balcony or soaking up the sun poolside in the afternoon. This second-floor condominium resides in a small, quiet complex complete with a pool yet only 1/2 a block walking distance to the nearest beach access.

Beautifully furnished throughout in a contemporary style with cool tones and tropical influences, it is hard to forget you are on vacation! This beachside retreat is perfect for a family looking to enjoy the fun of a South Padre Island getaway, yet still well suited for two couples just looking to get away.

With plenty of entertainment and restaurant venues within walking distance, you may choose to dine out every night. However, if you want to stay in and cook, the kitchen is fully-equipped with all you need. An in-unit washer and dryer, 2 parking spaces, and a beach access just a 1/2 block away complete the package to make this the perfect location for your South Padre Island getaway!

This property is licensed and in good standing with the City of South Padre Island. (License #2023-0130)

Clean and close to the beaches

Beautifully appointed condo with many amenities. You'll need to bring extra towels, paper towels and toilet paper if you're staying more than a few days. Having a patio is nice! Parking is definitely a problem if you come on the weekend since there's no designated parking spots. This is an upstairs condo, so take that into consideration! We had a few issues with minor problems in which the agency was very responsive! There's beach chairs and floats to use.

We ❤️ it! And will be back!

We have stayed at a bunch of properties over the years, most from Wally abd Eleana. This place was so cozy. Though both me and my hubs banged our shins on the side of the bed, watch out. Back view and front view are just vacant lots and properties it was still ok. The pool is shared with the other property so that kinda sucked. But we still loved the actual condo itself. Might book for Thanksgiving week. Coco beach down the road doesnt dissapoint. Be back sooner than later. ❤️

Great Family Beach Apartment

This was much more than a hotel. We all enjoyed having our own space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We had all the comforts of home with a fully stocked kitchen and washer and dryer. The owners thoroughly anticipated all of our needs. They really thought of everything from a step stool in the bathroom for smaller kids to extra hangers and drying racks for swim suits and beach towels. There was also plenty of storage to unpack without feeling cluttered or cramped. This was clearly a new renovation as everything felt brand new and clean, which was really nice. My kids loved the bunk beds and having their own tv in their room. This set up worked well for us as the couches in the living room would have otherwise felt a little cramped (seating for 5) as we sat in the evenings to unwind before bed. Our family of 5 enjoyed being able to eat comfortably together at the dining room table that sat 6. I'm normally pretty picky about my bed (we sleep on a King size Tempurpedic mattress) and this was very comfortable. Overall we were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations and look forward to staying at this condo in the future!
