You will find Gulfview has one of the nicest pool areas on the Island that is not beachfront. Large pool, heated hot tub, and half a dozen community use charcoal BBQ pits outside with plenty of shaded picnic tables that is truly unique for the Island. One of the most common questions we get is "can we BBQ?" Answer is YES!

Full sized & fully equipped kitchen for out guests was recently remodeled as pictures show with granite counters & stainless appliances. Open concept where kitchen flows to living room.

Condo has smart TVS for your app/accounts to wind down to movies after a long day at the beach.

Complex has an elevator so you don't have to climb stairs unless desired. Community use laundry area for complex. There is (1) provided off street parking space.

While we allow up to 6 people, we feel the space is adequate for 2 couples with 2 children OR a couple with 4 kids. There are 2 double beds plus a small couch as well as a double sized airbed and pump we provide. Please bring extra bedding if you plan to use airbed.

We provide linens & towels, but do not provide beach towels. Kitchen has all utensils, dishes, etc.

For work, there is high speed WiFI in the condo as well as dining room table or counter to work off of.

While we have the best available Internet/wifi from spectrum they are the only provider on the island and up time and coverage can be spotty at times we want you to be aware of that

If you can't find the network name SouthPadreTrips it's usually means we had a power outage and when the power comes back on It typically defaults the router to the factory network name and password, which is located on a sticker on top of the router.

Generally, if you reboot the router by unplugging it for a few minutes and plugging it back in it will pop up

Gulfview II is superior to Gulfview I as they do not charge for wristband deposits.
