LOCATION: This home is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Port Isabel, Texas. We are next door to a local park with a walking track, playground, and basketball court. Grocery stores are 1 mile away and we are a 2 minute drive from the bay-front restaurants in Port Isabel and the entrance to the bridge that connects Port Isabel to South Padre Island. We are also just a couple blocks from the historic lighthouse downtown. The benefit of staying in Port Isabel is the tranquility of the bay and also access to the shops in the mainland without needing to deal with the noise or traffic on the Island, however you are just a 7 minute drive from all the excitement and fireworks. There is a free shuttle bus that will take you from Port Isabel to the beach.

Port Isabel is a charming city in the southern tip of Texas, with a rich history and a scenic location on the Laguna Madre Bay. It is a popular destination for fishing, boating, birdwatching, and enjoying the coastal views and SPACEX launches. It is the ideal small fishing town getaway for visitors seeking natural beauty and tranquility.

THINGS TO DO: Everything. Surfing, fishing, go-karts, zip-lines, mini-golf, horseback riding, waterpark, boogie boarding, tacos and margaritas, beachside and bayside restaurants and cafes, sunset cruises, and of course miles and miles of soft sand. Oh, and you can watch rockets launch into space! Check out my guide to South Padre Island for more ideas and attractions.

SPACEX: As you may have heard, the SpaceX rocket launches occur nearby at Boca Chica! We recommend checking the SpaceX website for updated dates and times of their launches. During these launches you can hear the rocket from the house - in fact, some of the absolute best viewing sites for the launches are right here in Port Isabel, just a few blocks away!

A local park is just 500 feet away from the house. A Free shuttle bus stops at this park and takes guests between Port Isabel and South Padre Island (SPI).

SPECIAL OCCASIONS: Coming to town for an anniversary, birthday, or honeymoon? Reach out to us directly about welcome packages for special occasions.

We provide all guests with two complimentary bottles of water upon arrival, however we recommend guests to also purchase water during their stay, as the tap water can have a high salt content.

Like many hosts, we follow the booking platform's cancellation policies. For any questions regarding last minute cancellations or refunds, please clarify with us as needed.
Please no loud music between 10PM - 8AM. Please rinse off any sand before entering the house and remove shoes upon entry.
