Island life is already magical, and when you choose our Franke Rentals retreats in The Shores of South Padre Island, it’s even better.

A Top Community on South Padre Island
The Shores of South Padre Island has long been the resort community that best exemplifies island life, offering luxury, adventure, and beautiful beaches to all who reside there. Those who know also know that this is where everyone wants to stay, and of course, Franke Rentals offers some of our best retreats within its boundaries.
Enjoy Privacy to the Fullest
When you vacation in paradise, you may not expect to find privacy along with all the other amenities, but even in our townhouses in the resort, full privacy will be enjoyed. Balconies are shielded from neighbors, even as the sea just outside encourages an indoor/outdoor living experience.
Easy Beach and Bay Access
The 240-acre expanse of land now known as The Shores of South Padre Island, Texas, resides between the Gulf and the Laguna Madre Bay, ensuring easy access to both. The beach days in your future will be idyllic ones, especially as this private community’s beaches are less crowded than the public ones.
Perfect for All Age Groups
We know there is something to be said for age-restricted communities, but South Padre Island is a family destination, and The Shores at South Padre Island is a family-friendly resort community. Featuring activities and amenities that appeal to all ages, you can feel comfortable bringing your toddler and your senior grandparents, and know that both age groups will be entertained.
Bring the Whole Group!
Franke Rentals is known for its large variety of vacation properties, and the ones we offer at the Shores of South Padre Island are no exception. Our larger private homes are amongst our most popular, offering space for up to 14 guests in our 6-bedroom sanctuaries. The more the merrier isn’t just a phrase in our Texas paradise; it’s a way of life, encouraging travelers to bring the whole group along for the journey.
World Class Resort Amenities

As we mentioned earlier, you could spend your entire vacation without stepping beyond the Shores at South Padre Island borders and never suffer FOMO. We’ve included a list of some of the most popular amenities below, but more are being added as the community evolves.
Community Pool and Park
Kids love to play, and sometimes parents need to find activities that help them burn off excess energy. This makes our community park extremely popular with families, offering a play area in which the kiddos can run wild. For guests not staying in one of our homes with private pools, the community pool found inside the park offers just another way to chill on a hot summer’s day. Featuring a kids’ pool as well, parents will appreciate the safety benefits of the smaller, shallower body of water.
