About this property
NEW! Private Pool * BBQ * Steps to Beach
Half an easy block from the beach on South Padre Island, Sparky’s Pool House
is a two-level townhome value-priced for families who want real space without
resort prices. It is an older property with character and a few quirks, but it
is very clean and allows up to 12. East Mesquite Street is among the most
walkable on the island, and public beach access is 100 steps east at the end
of the block — under two minutes on foot. Two levels, three bedrooms, and a
driveway for two cars.
Five reasons to book:
Private pool with a BBQ area off the patio — bring your own grill and cook
outside. A private pool at this price point on South Padre Island is a very
short list.
Two levels keep couples and families on separate floors — the right setup when
different groups are sharing the space and everyone wants a little breathing
room.
Josephine’s Kitchen, Cafe on the Beach, and a Dollar General are all within a
short walk — past guests say once you park, you likely won’t need the car
again.
Beds for every configuration — queens, doubles, a single, and a futon across
the rooms, with an airbed in the closet for the group that runs over.
Up to 2 dogs welcome for a fee — a private pool property on SPI that also
takes pets is genuinely rare.
THE LAYOUT
Ground floor has a large bedroom with two queen beds and a full bath right
next door, a galley-style kitchen, a living room with Smart TV, and a patio
door that opens directly to the pool area and seating. That patio becomes the
hub of the stay.
Upstairs: the master bedroom has a queen bed and a twin futon, a Smart TV, and
a full ensuite bath that is a brand new tub/shower combo as of June 2026. The
second bedroom has two double beds. The third bedroom has one double and one
single — a natural fit for teens or a solo traveler in the group. There is a
non pull out couch as well as a provided airbed and pump just in case. Please
do bring additional bedding of your own if you plan on using couch or airbed
To set proper expectations: the inside of this townhome is dated. It is not
renovated or polished accepting the new tub/shower surround as well the new
front door. .It is clean and functional, and the value is in the layout, the
pool, and the location — not the finishes.
Please note the 2 levels as the master bedroom is upstairs, though one bedroom
is on the main level. While we do allow up to 12 people, there is not adequate
provided sleeping space for that many
THE POOL
Pool depth runs 3 to 5 feet throughout. The seating area wraps around it and
connects back through the patio to the living room, making it easy to drift in
and out all day. There is a BBQ space here as well — bring your own charcoal
or gas setup and clean up when you are done. We do not provide a grill.
KITCHEN & WIFI
The kitchen is stocked for real cooking: pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cooking
spray, salt and pepper, and coffee with filters. It is a galley layout and not
open to the living room, but everything needed for a proper meal is here.
WiFi is the highest-tier available on the island. Outages can happen
occasionally — bring a phone hotspot if work cannot wait during your stay.
BASICS
The property requires stairs to reach the upper level. Maximum occupancy is 12
including children and infants, though the space is most comfortable with
fewer adults. Parking fits two vehicles in the driveway and is always free — a
golf cart counts as one vehicle, unlike hotels on the island that charge for
every car.
Street parking is not permitted. SPI beaches allow pop-up tents and small
wagons — recommended for hauling gear, as beach toys and beach towels are not
provided.
Security patrol runs from 9 PM to 3 AM for noise and vehicles. This is not a
party house — unregistered guests and noise complaints result in eviction.
Please ask any questions before booking, not after thank you for your
consideration
Please note we have multiple units close by and can accommodate more than one
group — just ask, we would love to help.
PETS
Up to 2 dogs are welcome for a $75 fee per pet. Please disclose before booking
— undisclosed pets result in eviction, so be kind. Dogs cannot be left alone
in or out to bark, may not be on furniture and you must pick up all pet
droppings to avoid an additional charge, please be kind,
DISCOUNTS — JUST ASK
Reduced rates for off-season stays (September 15 – December 15), veterans and
active military, and current Texas tackle football coaches — our sons play for
Lake Travis in Austin. Send a message and ask.
POLICIES
Primary guest must be 23 or older. Guests under 23 require prior approval and
an additional refundable damage deposit, if approved at all. A signed digital
rental agreement and valid photo ID are required before check-in — door codes
are not released without both.
Door codes are sent by text by 3 PM on arrival day. If you are hoping for
early check-in, reach out around 1 PM on arrival day and we will accommodate
if we can. Strict cancellation policy applies. No unregistered guests. No
smoking, no parties, no extra cars, no exceptions.
SELF CHECK-IN & MANAGEMENT
Professionally managed by South Padre Trips — the #1 reviewed vacation rental
company on South Padre Island, with 24/7 phone support. Office at 2600 Padre
Blvd, open 7 days a week.
We PRO-clean between each reservation — not a quick tidy, done right every
time. We have staff available 24 hours a day, a real bonus you will not find
with a mom & pop host. Starter toiletries and cleaning supplies are provided
but not replenished. For stays of 3 nights or more, complimentary linen and
towel exchange is available at the South Padre Trips office at 2600 Padre Blvd
as South Padre Trips is the best property manager on the Island
It is our hope you create some memories that last a lifetime at Sparky’s Pool
House. Please reach out with any questions — we are happy to help before you
book.
