About this property

South Padre Cottage within walking distance to everything Fun!

This older island home features a nice large front deck which allows for perfect viewing of the weekend fireworks and people watching!
House is located near attractions like; the historic Louie's Backyard, Coconuts bar and grill, Dairy Queen, Gravity Park, Pizza Hut and more!
We're in the center of all the fun and engaging activities during your stay.
The island cottage is an OLDER unit which means it will not have all the amenities of a modern condo. What the Cottage lacks in amenities, it makes up for in charm and simplicity. Again, this was an older island home as such there may have some quirks and unpolished aesthetics.
If you're looking for a simple place to relax, detach and have as your home base for experiencing the fun activities on the island, then this is a great property for your next Island adventure!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask before booking.

We loved everything about the cottage. It was clean and so welcoming. We loved that it was pet friendly. The location was absolutely perfect! We could see the ocean from our deck. We walked to Gravity Park. It was easy to get to the beaches. The attractions we did were close and easy to get to. Check in and check out went smoothly. Our host was very easy to contact. We had a great time and would definitely stay again if we return.

We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage and it met our needs. Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness, the floors were very covered with hair, which made the whole thing seem nasty and gross!!

Last Minute Weekend Trip

Property was as described. Don’t judge a book by its cover, the place is just right. Ocean is a few blocks away, the bay is 2 blocks away. Great for the kids, front patio is clutch.

Great Family Fun!

This was our second stay. We love the location near all of the fun. Our 2 year old loved being able to hop on his bike and ride around the gravity park and bay. Clean and has everything we needed. Making our tradition to stay!

Cozy Coast Cottage : )

Perfect size and location for a couple looking to spend a few days together. Because of the location expect some noise though. However, didn't lose sleep. Will definitely be booking again.

This property was exactly what we were looking for. My family of 4 was very comfortable. It was a 1 bedroom but we had plenty of room. There was plenty of restaurants and family entertainment within walking distance. We drove to the beach only because of the amount of things we took. Only recommendation I would make would be slightly better toilet paper, I bought my own, and more towels for bathing.

Don't judge the book by it's cover. Very comfortable and safe. Great AC. when you've spent a hot day outside. A bit noisy due to area but great location for fun times and watch fireworks from your deck. A true South Padre experience

Perfect spot for the 4th!

This was a great place! Easy to get to, and park. It was right next to the gravity park and restaraunts. We had fun watching people swing and fall from tbe porch. All walking distance to all of the action. We stayed with our baby and dog and it was fine. You can see the fireworks right from the front porch. It was clean and Cindy was quick with replying if we had any questions. Over all great we will stay again!
