Check out our bayfront vacation rentals on South Padre Island, Texas if you want a relaxing, fun, and exciting vacation that you can enjoy to the fullest.

As soon as you enter the home, you will immediately notice the far-reaching views that stretch long over the bright blue waters and the sparkling waves on the bay. You can spend hours and hours going boating, fishing, tanning, kayaking, or canoeing on the calm waters. We love going on the bay to teach our kids how to swim, learn how to stand-up paddleboard, and go on other nautical adventures before hitting the ocean.
While you take a break from the plethora of watersports, you can relax in your private yard. Lay down on one of the comfortable chairs, get a tan on your face, and read a book to relax. Your kids or your pets can play in the grass of the front and backyards while you keep an eye on them from the comfort of your own recliner chair. Once it gets too hot, hop in your private pool to cool off! You can also head out here early in the morning before your guests wake up to have a relaxing start to the day. Brew a fresh pot of coffee in the modern kitchen, head to the pool area, and get in a few laps as you watch the sunrise.

You can go out to dinner to one of the nearby seafood restaurants on South Padre Island, or you can cook in your modern and spacious kitchen. Even if you are not a master chef, you will love using this functional space to whip up some quick appetizers, cook a five-course dinner, or simply serve happy hour cocktails before 6pm!
The kitchen features granite countertops to serve finger foods, stainless steel appliances for storing and cooking foods, and high bar top stools for your guests to sit, chat, and have a few drinks before you head to one of the nearby SPI restaurants. We recommend getting a shrimp tower to split with the table!
Before you head out on the town, you may need to freshen up in the bathroom. Our bathrooms all contain ample counter space, modern appliances, and resort-like amenities.
