About this property
The beach at your back door
Sip your morning coffee while you sit on your patio as you enjoy the beautiful sun rising over the ocean. Go for a walk on the beach just a few steps from your condo in La Internacional condos. Splash in the surf right outside I your door. Lounge on the beach with your favorite book, while you soak up the sunshine. Have your lunch right next door at the Wanna Wanna bar and grill. There are numerous delicious places for dinner that are walking distance, or prepare a meal in your fully equipped kitchen. Take a dip in the pool or hot tub, and relax with your favorite beverage while enjoying the sound of the waves. Sleep great in the brand new king sized bed, and do it all again tomorrow! The sleeper sofa has also got a brand new mattress. The condo has recently been freshly painted and decorated. There’s a beautiful brand new zero entry tile shower and bathroom. Welcome to your new favorite place!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin & Kathleen Nikkel

We are from Ankeny, Iowa. We have a small home improvement business. We have had long term rentals in the past, but transitioned into this vacation rental a couple of years ago. It is so much more fun! We fell in love with South Padre Island a few years ago, the first time we visited. It has been very rewarding to make improvements to our condo and try to make it everyone else’s favorite place too! There’s something very rewarding about hearing from our guests that they had a great time and loved staying at our place!
Why they chose this property
We have absolutely loved being ground floor-right in front of the ocean! We really feel like we have the best location on South Padre Island!
What makes this property unique
Our condo is a few steps from the beach. We are right next door to Wanna Wanna-a favorite bar and grill on the island. Our condo is positioned in La Internacional to face directly at the ocean, and being ground floor means we can walk out our sliding glass door a few steps to the beach. We remodeled our bathroom and have a large, zero entry tiled shower. We have newer furniture, including new mattresses on the king sized bed and queen sized sleeper sofa. Our condo is all updated, clean and comfortable, with the most amazing view!!
