This house was perfect for our stay. The heated pool was perfect to use during the cool weather. The location was great and very close to the beach. The house provided everything we needed for our stay and have already recommended it to friends.
Excellent Clean House, my family really enjoyed, the beach is just about a few steps, has balconies to read or simple relax yourself, inside the house the game room and the common area are good when you get bore just go apart and see tv! Pool is the right size! And two bbq pits thats a plus! Mr.Gerald and Ms. Kathy your house is beautiful! The communication with the owners is excellent. I keep it on my favorites to return back again!
This was a beautiful house with a great pool. It was very clean and comfortable. It is right around the corner from the beach which was great. We did beach in morning and pool in the afternoon. It was Pet-friendly which was important to us as we wanted to travel with our dog. I recommend it highly
Great stay! Very clean upon arrival. The house had everything we needed and wanted and the layout was great. We loved the game room and heated pool. The location was perfect and such a short easy walk to the beach. The beds were comfy and we slept great. Tons of space inside and out. The hosts had excellent communication. We would book this place again!
We enjoyed our stay. It was a lovely home and a perfect location. I would of provided a excellent rating except for the beds being so uncomfortable. In fact, every bedroom bed was uncomfortable. Too soft and felt worn out. This is a easy fix for this premium rental. Get new quality mattresses. Thanks!

Thank you for staying at Southern Destination and for your comments about the home and location. We’re glad you enjoyed your visit overall. We appreciate your feedback regarding the beds. The mattresses in the home are newer, high-quality memory foam and pillow-top mattresses selected in a medium-firm comfort level, which works well for most guests. That said, we understand mattress comfort is very personal and preferences can vary. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will keep your feedback in mind as we continue making improvements for our guests. Thank you again for staying with us.
This is our third year in a row we’ve stayed in this beautiful home. We love the amenities and the short walk to the beach… Everything is so accessible its like home away from home we loved it!!
Wonderful stay! House was very clean and had all the items we needed for the perfect beach day! Any issues we had, management was on it. Management was very sweet with speedy communication. Will stay again!
The location is walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. The house was very spacious for our crew of 15 to spread out. The pool area was amazing.
Great Beach home steps away from ocean, and close to many beach stores, groceries, and restaurants. Large home with plenty of room for large family. Backyard and pool were great, and the kettle grills worked out great for cookout. Beds were all comfortable, and entire house was very clean. Hosts were quick to answer any questions, would highly recommend this property!
Very clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Lots of room to spread out and the pool area was lovely. Appreciated all the beach towels provided. Close to beach access, with walking distance to a lot.
We had a great stay at the Southern Destination property! Plenty of room for my family and great location - just a short walk to the beach! Had a slight issue with the WiFi, but it was addressed immediately by the property manager(s). Communication with property manager was an A. Highly recommend this property if you are looking for a family vacation to SPI!
Enjoyed staying here again with my family. The short walk to the beach is so convenient and my family of 16 fit comfortably in the house, not at all cramped.
This property is a great place for a family vacation! We enjoyed the pool, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds! It was just a short walk to beach and property had plenty of sand toys for the kids to enjoy as well as beach chairs for adults! Iwrelaxing, enjoyable week!
Spent a weekend with family and loved the place. Clean, great location, responsive owners. Kids loved the pool, we all loved how close the access to the beach was. Will likely be back!
Great location, the place was clean, and well equipped with supplies for large family stay. We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Gerald & Kathy Magee
We are both from northern Missouri. We had moved many times in our married life but all within the Midwest, working and raising our family. We both retired in 2007 after full career's and knew we wanted to move to a warm climate. The question was where. Over the next couple of years of traveling to several southern states we concluded that we wanted Texas to be our home. Neither of us had ever visited South Padre Island and our first thoughts were a lake home. We spent two different vacations touring Texas. As we traveled further south we finally ended up in the valley and stayed several nights on the island while traveling through the valley. By the time we had to go back to Missouri, we realized we had found the place we were looking for. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the fishing, the easy-going island life all was perfect for what we were looking. Gerald and Kathy have owned a home on South Padre Island for over eight years. Gerald in the retail business for 40 years and Kathy in customer service the majority of her career, they know how valuable customer service and referrals are to make a business successful. It is our goal that we provide families and guests with the most relaxing and beautiful environment possible. We operate by the principle that vacation homeowners must create an island home setting that they would want to live in themselves and be proud to share it with family and friends. If it is not good enough for family and friends, then it is not good enough to lease. We would be proud for any of our friends or family to stay at either Destination Constellation, Southern Destination or Destination Coral Cove. The decision to purchase Southern Destination came with great consideration for our visitors to SPI. We have worked diligently to provide a clean, safe, and colorful environment for your family and guests to enjoy. We look forward to accommodating your needs. Gerald and Kathy Magee
Why they chose this property
We converted our private home, Southern Destination, to a vacation rental because it is located on the same street as Destination Constellation, only two doors down. Constellation Drive is one of the nicest streets on the South Padre Island. Constellation is approximately two miles from the Queen Isabella Causeway, far enough away from the heavier traffic during high season to remain a relatively calm neighborhood. There are only about ten permanent residents on East Constellation Drive. Many of the remaining units are vacation homes for the owners. There are no multi-story condominium units on our street. Southern Destination is conveniently located within walking distance to so many amenities. Within minutes, guests can walk to the Wanna Wanna Bar, Palm’s Resort, Blackbeard’s Restaurant plus multiple other restaurants, golf cart rentals, post office, convenience stores. There is a sunset view of the Laguna Madre and on many calm days and evenings, guests can hear the waves turning over on the beach and smell the sea mist from the Gulf waters. Easy access to the beach was the number one priority. At the end of East Constellation is Aquarius Circle Beach Access #18, only a couple minute walk from Southern Destination to paradise. Yet when returning from that day on the beach or other activities, we believe that you have another unique taste of paradise around the pool and backyard of Southern Destination. Southern Destination will feel like your home away from home for your family and guests. Whether playing with family in the waves at the beach or relaxing in the pool, the environment at your beach get-away will create beautiful memories.
