GORGEOUS, FAMILY FRIENDLY, JUST STEPS TO SUN AND FUN!!!
We are beach side in Saida II, right off the causeway at 400 Padre Blvd., in the building closest to the beach. Parking is just steps from the front door. If, location, security and choice of activities is important to you read on. Saida is a gated resort of 5 buildings, 3 swimming pools, each with chaise lounges and thatched palapas for shade, a seasonal pool bar and grill, 3 hot tubs, 4 tennis courts and shuffleboard. And, of course, the beautiful beach of SPI is just steps away, where you can sit, relax, read, walk, jog, surf, fish, para-sail, ride a banana boat, and/or enjoy a cool beverage. Of course, just a short drive or walk to the other side of the island you'll find the bay of Laguna Madre for sailing, world class bay fishing, and renowned Texas sunsets.
We are located in the building closest to the beach, on the bottom floor and on a corner. There are no elevators and no stairs to worry about. You can walk out the back door onto the extra large porch and be 25 yards from the pool, tennis courts, and gate to the beach; let the kids run amok right in front of you on the grass while you relax, barbecue (only allowed on ground floor units), or eat alfresco while enjoying the view and the gulf breeze.
Our unit is inviting and comfortably accommodates 8 people. The open living area with its two long leather and fabric sofas and two large lounging chairs sit in front of a 60" LCD TV with cable, sound bar and music player. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, pots and pans, utensils, glassware, dishware, bake ware, serving ware and coffee pot. A wine and soft drink refrigerator sits under the granite island. 4 stools sit at the counter for quick meals, along with a dining table with 8 chairs.
There are three bedrooms and two full baths with granite counter tops. The master has a king size bed; bedroom 2 has a bunk bed (double on bottom and twin on top) with chaise chair; and the third bedroom has a queen and single. For those wishing to take that well deserved siesta, or a place for the kids to watch what they want to watch, all bedrooms are provided with a 32" LCD TV and full cable. The master bathroom is easily accessed by both the master and bedroom-2. Each side has a vanity with counter and cabinet space for storing toiletries, etc. The walk-in shower and toilet are in the middle. The central bathroom is used by guests and bedroom-3; it has a single vanity with walk in shower. In case you forget your own, each bathroom is provided with shampoo, soaps, towels and hair dryers. There is an iron and board provided, and the washer/dryer is located just outside the front door.
The seating area on the porch is quite comfortable. There is also a barbecue pit for those wishing to cook outdoors. Also available are our embroidered beach towels.

I loved that the condo is on the first floor and that you can walk right out the back door to the pool area and beach access. It has a nice seating area outside as well. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We also loved it’s proximity to shops and dining options.

We had a great stay at this condo! The location in the complex was top notch! We really enjoyed being able to grill on the large patio! The carpet grass was so fun for our boys to play football!! The living area was plenty large for our part of 8. Highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our time at Julie’s place. The first floor unit was easy for coming and going from the pool and the beach. Loved the layout and the kitchen. Communication with Julie was a breeze. The towels and beds were super comfy. Will stay here again!
Julie was a pleasure to work with and her condo is very accommodating. Great ground floor location and proximity to amenities & beach access. A wonderful time was had by all!
This condo was perfect for our family. Super cute, super clean and perfectly situated on the bottom floor. Just a few steps to the pool and beach. It was also walking distance to several restaurants. I would highly recommend this condo for your next stay!
Everything about our stay was top notch. The cleanliness and updated furniture/ appliances, the abundance of towels and beach toys, and above everything the location right on the main floor just steps from the pool and ocean. Our family of 6 had the best time - plenty of room to dine, spread out and relax, everything we needed! Highly recommend this stay!

The condo is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Weather was rainy but we sat out on the beautiful patio, and even used the barbecue grill. So convenient to be close to the pool and beach. Beds were comfy and tons of space. Really enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was amazing to say the unit is properly equipped is an understatement. We didn’t even have to unpack our beach towels. It is also so conveniently located on the property, the laundry is literally outside the unit and the pool is just across the lawn. We were 8 of us in total but the unit is so spacious we never felt on top of each other. Our host was so accommodating as well and was very accessible for any questions. Will definitely book again.

Miriam, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad the condo worked out well for you all.
This property is exactly as described. It was perfect for our family & we especially enjoyed our daily walks on the beach. The hot tubs & pools were also a big hit with our family. The property owner was very good about keeping in contact & answering questions immediately. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to visit South Padre Island-we had a GREAT stay!!
Loved everything.. from the get go the pictures dont do justice to this apartment. You feel right at home! You have everything you need starting from towels at the door leading to the pool and the kitchen fully stocked with everything you might need to cook for your family. The people that would help you out were always ready to answer your questions and help you out in any way possible. I LOVED THIS PLACE and look forward to staying here many more times!!!!!!

beautiful location to pool and beach with a front yard to play
pool is about 15 yards away and beach is about 200 yards away with a big yard outside the back porch...no elevators! Could be the best spot at SPI. Spacious floor plan, thoroughly accommodating landlord with all the kitchen tools, appliances and bathroom amenities for a long stay. We'll be back and we'll stay here.
thank you
If you are wanting proximity to pools and the beach, a patio to cook and relax on, and space for your family to unwind, then this is the perfect rental for you. This listing is exactly what you see here with the patio space and beach accessibility closer than expected. The Saida resort is great for families with easy access to the extras the island offers. The condo was updated and fully stocked for our week stay.
Julie was extremely helpful with our trip planning and availability as needed. This was a great touch that didn’t go unnoticed by other traveling with us in other agency condos in the same building.
Zero logistics thanks to the amazing location, easy parking, and home organization. Seeing and hearing the ocean from the patio made every minute count towards our experience. We tend to get to the beach and inevitably forget something in our rental but no sweat with this location. The host is professional and kind. The home is clean and stocked. Thank you for the multiple boogie boards and beach toys to borrow. Our family will return! 😎
Relaxing and Comfortable Family Stay – Perfect Location!
We had a wonderful family vacation at this South Padre Island condo. The first-floor unit gave us a great view of the pool and an easy walk to the beach straight from our back door. One of our favorite parts of the trip was enjoying peaceful mornings with coffee on the patio — quiet, comfortable, and the perfect start to the day.The condo was clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of beds and linens for our family of 7, which made settling in easy. It truly felt like a home away from home.The location was excellent— quiet and relaxing, a quick drive from the causeway and just a short walk to several great restaurants. We loved being able to walk to dinner in the evenings without having to load everyone into the car.The pool area was clean and never overcrowded, adding to the overall relaxing atmosphere.Our host was responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out, making the entire process seamless. We felt right at home and safe throughout our stay.We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for families looking for a convenient, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay in South Padre!

Good location, not very happy with the fact there was a water main break on the last day leaving us with no water and 3 little kids. We had to leave and get a hotel, and nothing was done to help rectify the situation. When notifying the owner, all I was told is that is out of their control.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We always strive to provide a positive stay and believe open communication is key. As soon as you informed us of the low water pressure, building management was immediately contacted. They reported that there was a broken water main and that crews were working to quickly resolve the problem. Unfortunately, utility issues coming into the building are beyond our control; nevertheless, we did our best to keep you informed of the situation.
We were surprised to learn from your review that you opted to leave one day early and book a hotel, as this was not communicated during our exchanges. Additionally, no refund or further assistance was requested at the time.
We are proud of our property and what it has to offer each of our guests. As you know, it is highly rated and regularly praised for its location and amenities. What with the bad December weather and broken water main that were unforeseen events out of our control, we are sorry the visit did not live up to your expectations. Thankfully, your commentary did not reflect any poorly on the Unit itself.
Again, we remain personally committed to our guests and providing them a Unit they feel meets or exceeds their expectation. We did our best to keep you informed and hope future guests will recognize the value of our prompt efforts and clear communication given the situation.
The location of the property was nice and very close to restaurant's. Close to the pool and beach. The condo was clean but the comforters looked dirty in the 2 guest rooms we just removed them from the beds. We did find a couple of roaches, however we were on the first floor and right by the beach. The back door lock was rusted and does not lock from the outside so the convenience of walking out from the patio to the beach/pool was not an option since we couldn’t lock it. There is comfortable seating in the living room and a large table for everyone to sit. Condo was well stocked with beach towels, pots pans etc. condo was very accommodating overall. Communication with Julie was awesome.

I'm so sorry you had issues, but do thank you for honesty and understanding, we try our best to stay up with the cleaning and extermination. As far as the lock issue, I wish you had let me know there was a back up key just in case this happened....I do wish someone would come up with a code lock that can withstand the sea air.
Thank you again

Why they chose this property
South Padre Island has been a special place for family gatherings for generations. As children we would spend summers on the island with our parents and grandparents since they lived in Brownsville. The condo is our happy place. A place where memories have been made and will be made for generations to come.
What makes this property unique
Location! Location! Location! We are so lucky to have the unit we do. Being on the ground floor has provided us the ease and luxury to enjoy watching and engaging with the whole family, from parents and grandparents down to siblings and children. The large patio is a great gathering place to circle up and solve the issues of the day while watching the palms sway in the gulf breeze. A great place to build family.
