Weekend get away

Clean property with well equipped kitchen. Short and easy walk to public access to the beach Easy close parking. Easy check in. Nice grounds. Hot tub is small and was in use a lot so we did not have a chance to get in, but was clean as was the pool. Our main reason for going is to be on the beach anyway. Price is very good. Would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Betty Vanzant

Host profile image
We moved to South Padre Island from Austin, TX in 2007. We are both native Texans, and it had been a dream to live on the Island. We own a small retail store, enjoy having our daughters, their families (9 grandchildren!) and friends visit and enjoy this amazing Island. (Of course we only host ONE family at a time!)

Why they chose this property

When we moved to South Padre in 2007, we rented this great condo for 3 1/2 years. After Hurricane Dolly in 2008, much of the interior was rebuilt and updated. Three years ago it was repainted and further updated, making it even better. By "divine" appointment, we talked to the owner who was selling to move off the Island, and we knew we had to have it!

What makes this property unique

This condo felt like "home" the first time I walked into it! It's walking distance to the beach, the bay, and many other locations. The kitchen is large and well equipped. And the courtyard is a lush, delightful view from the balcony. A peaceful beach getaway!
