We brought our senior dog here to experience his first time at the beach and everything was perfect. The unit was clean, Kathleen was very accommodating and happy to answer any questions, and we had everything we needed for our stay. On top of that, the location was EVERYTHING. Not to mention there was a convenient wash station steps away from the unit. The beautiful sunrise view from the back patio, the perfect weather, we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We highly recommend booking here!

Only a couple of suggestions: air filters need changed, provide more towels for showers and the cable box in the master bedroom did not work. Thanks for our stay we had a great vacation!

Great place to getaway to. The beach is literally about 50 paces from the condo. I so enjoyed drinking my coffee watching the sun rise or set in the distance. Everything was as described and better. The bed was very comfy and we had all the amenities of home. I'm ready to stay here again!

When we beach vacation, our top priority is proximity to sand. As described, porch is just steps from boardwalk to beach. Unit was well stocked and just as pictured. Owners were responsive to our emails and willing to help with any of our requests. We'd stay again if we head back to South Padre.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Kathleen Nikkel

Host profile image
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!!
