About this property
Beachfront Condo with Stunning Views & great access
Stunning views and beautiful surroundings will be yours while you enjoy your stay on South Padre Island, Texas' best kept secret. The sand is fluffy, the surf is gentle, the open air beach bars serve up great music along with yummy concoctions. I fell in love with the island the first moment I set foot and knew right then I needed a little slice of this paradise to call my own. I searched for about a year to find the perfect spot. I chose the unit I did because it has one of the best views on the island. Part of this is due to the fact that it is one of the older buildings on the island and consequently is set closer to the Gulf than properties built more recently. Its also because my condo is on the second floor so the water is at eye level. When I purchased in 2013, I renovated the condo completely. Even I was amazed at the total transformation of my beachfront condo. Everything has been redone, from the smooth walls and ceilings, to the 24" faux travertine porcelain floor tiles. The kitchen features custom espresso wood cabinetry, eco friendly vetrazzo counter tops & glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and it's fully stocked with every needed kitchen utensil: blender, basket type coffeepot, etc. The bathroom has a luxurious oversized shower with bench seat, toiletry shelf & frameless shower door. Featuring a whimsical design with bubble tile shower flooring, mosaic tiles, blue martini glass lights, lots of counterspace and a vessel sink. The bedroom features a queen bed & twin bunk beds with stairs, not a ladder. Yes, the kids can have their own beds! :) A full sized chest of drawers and large nightstand complete the ensemble. Relax in the living area with a flat screen tv with cable and a pull out queen sized sleeper sofa. The loveseat & footrest are comfy too. I have also left a few games on the end tables & a couple books to enjoy while you're here, or surf the net with complimentary WiFi. Most lights in the condo are on dimmers so you can create a soothing ambiance. Your unit is also stocked with plenty of bath towels and beach towels. La Internacional has an onsite heated pool and spa with plenty of padded recliners and succulent tropical vegetation, an elevator, laundry facilities and beach access. It is secured with a gate & a code to get in. There are numerous things to do on the island and nearby Port Isabel: go see the sea turtles, take a dolphin cruise, climb the lighthouse, take yoga, get a massage, windsurf, surf, scuba dive, take a sand castle lesson, go see a band, play mini golf, go to the water park, bungee jump, take a jewelry making lesson, the list just goes on and on. You can rent a beach chair with umbrella or bring your own to enjoy the beach. The sand is great. So great, in fact, that South Padre Island hosts a sand castle competition every year that brings in professional artists from around the globe. The surf is small & the water at the shore shallow enough to allow the children to play in the water while you relax on the beach with a book and a drink. Yes!

We enjoyed our stay. Your home was perfect except the bed was a little too high. I had to use the provided step stool to enter and exit the bed. The view and beach access was exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay again. Thank you
We had a very nice stay at the condo. Host was very communicative and great to deal with. Condo was clean and comfortable.Great location, close to everything and right on the ocean. Loved watching the waves roll in from the balcony. Clean and well kept pool. Hot tub was nice but the jets were barely working, so it was more like sitting in a warm tub.Surprised by the lack of seafood in the area ( that wasn’t mostly fried) but we did find one good gem called Mahi Nic’s which was right on the water and had incredible mahi Sandwiches. We do wish that the lounge chairs weren’t so pricey to rent. We ended up buying camping chairs and pool noodles and left them there for future guests. If you do go, make sure to bring condiments etc as there were not any. Overall a very good stay!
We had a great time. Initial thought was that it was a bit small, but dont let youre initial thoughts fool you. Place was actually perfectly sized for three adults. We spent 90% of our time on the beach, which was just feet away. Access from the condo to the beach was perfect. Made breakfast, lunch, and dinner with no issues. Recommend stopping at HEB in Port Isabel to get any groceries. We do plan on returning. Highly recommended.

The view was fantastic! The small appliances along with the love seat needs updating. The interior needs to be painted. The entire apartment smelled musty and stayed humid the entire stay. The complex is older and maybe that would explain some issue's with the humidity.
A great experience with easy access to everything local. The unit is right on the beach, quiet and relaxing. The host was great and made sure we were taken care of during our stay.
This is a great property! Perfect ocean view from 2nd floor with a walkout balcony. Short walk straight onto the beach. Parking onsite plus locked gate are great pluses. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking dishes, pots, pans, etc. Everything was clean and in great condition. I would stay here again!

Enjoyed the view from the room. Owner was very helpful with check in information. Location is good and Wan Wan right next door making for quick access to food, drink and good music. Wife and I really liked the place and look forward to booking the condo again.
Everything was great.Very relaxing for a retired couple .Close to the beach. Enjoyed the balcony where we could have a snack or a glass of wine. we would stay again

About the host
Hosted by Renee Scandalis
For those of us that are drawn to the water and the beach, we have to return often to feel whole. Originally from San Francisco, CA I grew up going to the beach almost daily. I attended UC Santa Barbara and again, went to the beach almost daily. Then I moved to the Russian River in Northern California...same story. In 2005 I relocated to Texas and now live in Little Elm on the shore of Lake Lewisville. I am very fortunate to live on the water and the lake is beautiful, but still the ocean calls! I taught French and Spanish in CA but recreated myself when I moved to TX. I now assist people in buying and selling homes and land, primarily lakefront. I have two wonderful children that are yin and yang. Jacob, my serious 14 year old, plays the bassoon and is a voracious reader. Dex, my silly 9 year old, loves to play electric guitar and is craftier than McGyver.
Why they chose this property
I have a serious case of wanderlust and have always traveled extensively. Some places I go to once, others many times, however when I hit the beach at South Padre for the first time just three short years ago I immediately felt at home. I found a way to go 4 times that year and the search for the perfect property was on. La Internacional is the perfect locale in my opinion. It is the closest property to the Gulf so the views are the best. Wanna Wanna is just next door and is a great laid back waterfront open air bar & grill. They have live music on the weekends and mellow tunes with a good sound system otherwise. Also in walking distance is the Laguna Madre Yoga and Meditation Center, where you can take not only Yoga, but Zumba, Pilates, Tango, & Hula. They have massage services, too! Many restaurants are also within walking distance, including Parrot Eyes, which I adore not just because the food is wonderful but also because there are always pelicans hanging out waiting for the fishermen to give them a treat. While it's a bit of a jaunt, I also walk up to Turtle Inc. It takes me about 10-15 min. What else do I have to do? I will jump on the Wave (see below) if I'm feeling lazy. It's really not to be missed. Learn about the Sea Turtles and get to see them up close. If you get there close to opening, they will even let you 'feed' one. Dolphin watching is also good on the island and the pod that lives here likes to play with the boats so they are easy to see. I could go on and on, but really, being on the island just feels good!
What makes this property unique
When I come to the island, I typically fly. The shuttle from Brownsville is FREE. Yes, that is not a typo. It is Free. The Wave is free public transportation on the island and runs up and down the island. If you are not at a bus stop, no worries. Flag them down, they will stop. It doesn't get more laid back then that. If It goes to Port Isabel too, which you shouldn't miss while you're here. The pirate boat is a blast, the shopping quaint, the farmers market, yummy!
