OCEANVIEW CASTLE on GULF
Insta: @OceanviewCastleSPI
City of South Padre - STR License # 2023-2539
Oceanview Castle = Excellent Value! Perhaps the very best value for location - with a new Beach Access just across the street.
***** IMPORTANT! Know your guest list in advance of booking. Number of Guests must be 100% accurately claimed at time of booking. 15 Guests is standard, up to 18 total. We have a strict maximum of 18 - there are no exceptions. ******
Enjoy this spacious and elegant Gulfview Home, offering super easy beach access and amazing views. 4300sq ft of living space, with 6 bedrooms - each with en-suite Private Bath (3 are Master Bedrooms), Pool Table and an Elevator for those with mobility needs. Our home will easily accommodate large groups in spacious comfort for every person in your group. Our rates are set for 15 Guests Standard (**Up to 18 guests optional, must be claimed at time of 'instant booking').
Oceanview is purpose built to serve large groups, business professionals, and multiple families vacationing together. At about 2x the size of a typical island beach house, everyone in your group is guaranteed to have ample space to move around, relax and enjoy.
Soak up coastal breezes and listen to the ocean from the privacy of several balconies. You’ll note the fine touches throughout the home - including custom cabinetry, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, private elevator, travertine flooring, and a water softener that serves the entire property.
The grand front porch stairway of Oceanview Castle spills out to speedy beach access just across the street. Alternately, the elevator can be taken to ground level.
KEY FEATURES: What else sets us apart from the rest?
Immediate Beach Access - 60 seconds from the front steps to the beach! Oceanview Castle is just a quick hop across the street from the beach. Set up your gear for a whole day on the beach. Need to make a pit stop back home for a bit of shaded rest, or a bathroom break? No problem, you’ll back in a flash and wont even have to break down your beach setup!
A Private Bath for every one of the 6 Bedrooms: Worthy of note - each and every bedroom has it's own full bath - a highly unique feature among large home rentals here on the Island. Oceanview may well be the only large family rental with a dedicated bath for each bedroom. Everyone can enjoy their own private suite. Some have called our home a mini-luxury hotel.
Kids/Teens semi-private Retreat – Families and Friends love to come together and share time together on vacation – and they also appreciate their personal quiet space. Oceanview Castle serves up tons of space and privacy. The Castle’s first floor quarters make for an amazing teen zone. The teens of your group will have their own private space for some personal evening unwind time in a 900 sqft 2 br/2 bath semi-private quarters located on the first floor of the house. Complete with its own fully stocked kitchen and living room with Smart TV. It even has its own private outside access door with keyless entry.
