⚠️ Important Payment Notice – Klarna / Affirm

Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals). Many virtual one-time card providers only authorize a single transaction, which causes the payment to fail. For this reason, we recommend that guests do not book using Klarna, Affirm, or similar services. If a reservation is attempted using one of these payment methods and the payment declines, the guest will be required to provide an alternative form of payment or cancel the reservation.

Clean and comfortable

Second time staying at one of the SPI properties. I had a good experience. House was clean and comfortable for our trip and close to the entertainment. Weather was not cooperative that weekend, but the house made it a good lounging day. Look forward to renting from SPI again. - Marlon Salazar

Great location and private pool. Will definitely book again.

The house was in a great location, easy walk to the beach and a number of restaurants/bars. The pool is nice for the evening or when feeling lazy and not wanting to walk. The house was clean and as advertised, definitely will book again if we are in South Padre with extended family!

Great location and place to stay

The place is great! Nice kitchen and living area, and plenty of sleeping space. Very easy walk to the beach, laguna, boardwalk, shopping and dining. The pool is a great space to relax. The kitchen has all the essentials. You can walk to Stripes (gas station) for some items and the Blue Marlin grocery store is a short drive. Also the grill on the deck is great for a poolside cookout.

Our stay was super relaxing. The house was exactly as described and perfect for our family. The house is less than 5 minute walk to the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and the sand castle village close to the marina. Beach chairs, wagons and umbrellas are provided. Also, we loved that there was two dryers to help laundry finish fast.

Great Family home with Private pool.

This Casita is a perfect rental for a multiple small families to stay in depending on the size of your group. There is a sofa sleeper and a large chair that also pulls out as a single bed. I would say it sleeps 12 comfortably. The dining table is large to sit up to 10 and the kitchen is roomy enough. There were plenty of dishes for us to use, extra towels, extra pillows, and a bbq grill. The pool is a decent size and the back yard is very private. The walk to the beach is very easy and I would definitely stay here again.
