Spacious 2BR Historic Retreat - Poolside Unit in Port Isabel near South Padre

Welcome to Alta Vista – A Restored 1931 Spanish Colonial Retreat in Historic Port Isabel

Step back in time at Alta Vista, a beautifully restored 1931 Spanish Colonial-style property located just minutes from South Padre Island. With its arched entryways, stucco walls, original oak floors, and vibrant Talavera tile accents from Central Mexico, this historic gem offers a one-of-a-kind vacation experience filled with warmth, character, and comfort.

Originally built with timber, masonry, and handcrafted stucco, Alta Vista reflects the architecture of Old Mexico. Our family purchased the property in 2003 and began a full, authentic restoration—preserving the historic details while updating the space with modern amenities.

This ground floor apartment features:

A queen bed in the main bedroom

A queen bed in the guest bedroom

A queen sleeper sofa in the living room

A fully equipped kitchen

Freshly laundered bedding and essentials

Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, spectrum TV, central A/C, and on-demand hot water for your convenience.

Step outside into our lush tropical courtyard complete with:

A sparkling swimming pool

Lounge chairs and shaded umbrellas

An outdoor kitchen with a churrascaria-style wood-burning BBQ, gas grill, and bar

A breezeway with rocking chairs perfect for your morning coffee or evening wind-down

Our on-site laundry room with two washers and two dryers makes extended stays a breeze.

We’re located just a few blocks from Port Isabel’s Lighthouse Square, local shops, and waterfront dining—and only minutes from the South Padre Island bridge. As lifelong locals, we’re happy to share tips on restaurants, fishing spots, cultural sites, and things to do throughout Port Isabel, SPI, and the Rio Grande Valley.

Come stay at Alta Vista—where history meets hospitality on the Texas coast.
