New porcelain floor tile throughout
New kitchen cabinets with soft close doors and drawers, stainless apron front sink, granite counter top, and glass tile back splash
All new stainless steel (slate) GE appliances
Enlarged bathroom to increase space
Removed bathtub/shower combo and replaced with tiled walk in shower
New custom built vanity with glass vessel sink and glass tile back splash
Ceiling fans added to bedroom and great room
All new furniture - including balcony furniture

Best SPI stay yet

Easily the best SPI condo we have stayed at. We stayed at 2 others in Inverness that weren’t even close as well as others on the island. The unit was beautifully decorated and the kitchen well stocked. The host couple clearly treasure this unit and it comes through in every detail.

Relaxing stay with a great view of the beach!

The condo is nicely updated and the view is unparalleled. It’s also very walkable to some good food options and shopping. One note is that the bed is a little noisy and may keep up light sleepers. Other than that our stay was delightful!

Weekend getaway

This was our second stay at the condo. It is the perfect place for a couples retreat. Very clean and nicely decorated in a beach theme. Despite being stuck inside for a day because of Hurricane Hanna we had a great time. The view of the crashing waves and wind was great. We will be booking again.

Best Condo Right on the Beach

I have stayed in this building several times before but not in this privately owned condo through VRBO. The condo has been beautifully updated and decorated and has everything you might need. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and the owner Brian made sure we were all set throughout the whole process. Condo is right on the beach with amazing views. We will be back again soon!

South Padre Anniversary Retreat

We enjoyed our stay, from the amazing balcony view of the Gulf, to the location which is walking distance to restaurants and shops. The condo is beautifully decorated and filled with all of the comforts you could hope to have. We made use of the beach chairs, beach towells, umbrella, and enjoyed hours on the beach, just steps away from the property. The hosts were welcoming and provided great instructions prior to our visit. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful Condo on the Beach

Michael and I really enjoyed our stay in this condo. Peggy Sue did a beautiful job decorating. The ocean breeze on the patio was awesome. Another plus is the Island Metro stops right outside the building and it provides free transportation on the island. Thank you, Brian and Peggy Sue, for letting us stay in your place.

Awesome place

This condo was absolutely great. Everything was new and fresh. View of and access to the beach is excellent. Owners were super and very responsive to any needs. Left us a personal welcome note and fresh flowers to welcome our arrival. The only negative Is parking on weekends, the parking garage is super tight and there aren’t enough outside spaces. We will definitely return in the future.

Beautiful views and condo

We loved relaxing out on the big balcony every morning and evening. The condo was just as beautiful as the pictures with everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. We would definitely recommend staying here! We talked to others that were staying in very outdated condos in the same building and we felt very lucky that we chose this one! Brian was very responsive throughout the whole process from the first questions I sent, to booking and updating our dates, to checking out. We also got to see fireworks off the balcony one night.

Amazing View!

The views from this condo are truly amazing! There are not many places where you can get a 360 degree view in all directions on the island. We were able to see the sunrises and sunsets each morning, and the fireworks right from our private balcony as well. The decor & style showed a true pride in ownership, and all the conveniences of home were though of and provided. We really enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend to future guests - you will not be disappointed booking!

Return to Normal

We traditionally stay at this condo on the weekend close to San Jacinto Day. We love the layout and view, the pool to the side rather than in sight, and the easy access to the beach. We've missed it the last two years with the pandemic, so this time was particularly sweet. It is nicely decorated and well-equipped. As just one example, but an important one, there are rugs at all the entrances.

About the host

Hosted by Brian

Host profile image
My wife and I got our education in Texas, got married in Texas, and gave birth to our daughter in Texas. Then I started working as an engineer in the automotive industry and we moved to Michigan where we lived for about 25 years. I retired from that job and we moved back to Texas to get away from the snow, and to be able to ride our motorcycles year round. We love South Padre Island and wanted a place for family to come visit. This is our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We chose this condo for several reasons.

First, the section of beach in front of the building is less busy than other areas of the beach. Public beach access in this area is limited, therefore the beach does not get very crowded.

Second, this area of the Island is quiet and peaceful, but you can easily walk North or South for some excitement. Clayton's Beach Bar is only 0.7 miles to the North, and Wanna Wanna is less than half a mile to the South.

We especially enjoy the sunrise while drinking our morning coffee on the balcony. Since we are located on the North corner of the building the views up the island are fantastic, and you can even see the fireworks show every weekend in the summer.

The building recently completed a $2.5 million exterior renovation that includes new railings, new paint, tiled walkways, elevator improvements, and access gates to the inside parking areas.

What makes this property unique

Our corner balcony faces the water and gives views of the beach, and the island to the North. This is a great place to sit with a fresh cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the Gulf. From the front door you can see the island and watch sunsets over the bay. During the summer, weekend fireworks shows can be seen from both the gulf side, and the bay side of the condo.
