Amenities in Our Airbnb Entire House Rentals in South Padre Island
Aside from enjoying a comfortable place in which daily life on vacation can unfold, these vacation homes also boast a variety of additional amenities that will add to your stay. Many SPI rentals Airbnb offer a swimming pool and hot tub right in the privacy of your own backyard, perfect for relaxing days in.

One of our favorite amenities that you can enjoy in our Airbnb rentals in South Padre Island are the private outdoor spaces! Even if your home is a one-floor house, you can still enjoy private front yard space or private backyard space. This is great for families who have young kids who want to spend some time outside playing a ball game or for those who have dogs who need to run around and burn some energy!
We also love the private decking and patio spaces. There is no better way to start your day than to head to the covered patio or deck with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise. You can sit in one of the cozy chairs, have breakfast at the outdoor table, or simply lay down and read a book before your big day begins.
Things to Do in South Padre Island
In this island location, you’ll find that life is centered along the ocean. Most days in South Padre Island include some time spent at the beach, whether it’s lounging along the shoreline, fishing, or participating in some of the water sports that are readily available. Much of South Padre Island’s most stunning wildlife can also be spotted along the coastline, from sighting dolphins on a boat cruise to keeping an eye out for migratory birds from the 5-story watchtower at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center.
Part of the reason why families, solo travelers, couples, and friend groups travel to South Padre Island all year round is because of the numerous activities you can do every single day of your vacation. From hitting the water with your kayak or paddleboard to relaxing on the beach, there is something for everyone’s interests and needs.
Some of the best activities you can do in South Padre Island in the evening or during a hot summer day is checking out the arts and culture scene. There are plenty of choices to see live music, ranging from local artists to well-known singers who visit the island for a concert.
On a sunny day with a crisp breeze, we can’t think of anything better to do than to head out on your boat and go fishing. It doesn’t matter if you are an avid fisherman or if you have never held a reel in the past — you can take your own boat out on the calm waters or hire a professional to help teach you the ropes.
Plus, those who are less outdoor-focused can enjoy a dozen shopping opportunities throughout the town. You can find some clothes to bring back from vintage shops, check out the high-end boutique stores, and bring back a souvenir for your friend from one of the many souvenir shops dotted along the main street of the island.
We also recommend going to one of the spa and fitness centers during your time on South Padre Island. You will feel better getting in some light exercise during your vacation to stay healthy and active! Afterward, you can relax with a deep tissue massage or get a nice facial to treat yourself — you ARE on a holiday, after all!
Last but not least, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and eateries to choose from during your stay on South Padre Island. For a nice cup of coffee in the morning or an afternoon pick-me-up, we recommend checking out Cafe Karma, Grapevine Cafe, or Karma Coffee and Books. Cafe Karma is situated at the north end of South Padre Island, offering a hearty breakfast and unlimited cups of coffee. Grapevine Cafe churns out some of the best pancakes and crepes in the entire state, with their Nutella banana pancakes and iced coffee, an unbeatable meal in the morning! Lastly, Karma Coffee and Books is a laid-back and casual spot in Ocean Palm Shopping Center that is the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.
For lunch, we recommend heading to Yummies Bistro or The Meatball Cafe. Yummies offers hearty and fresh sandwiches using local ingredients, including fresh produce, vegetables, and locally sourced meat. We love their egg dishes, fluffy pancakes, and strong mimosas! If you head to The Meatball Cafe, you can’t go wrong with a traditional Italian meal. Split a pizza and try one of their tossed salads to enjoy a filling lunch.
For dinner, check out the Painted Marlin Grille or Sea Ranch. The Painted Marlin Grille is a casual and laid-back beach shack vibe that offers fresh seafood, sandwiches, salads, burgers, and shareable plates with strong cocktails in a perfect setting. If you want somewhere a little more high-end, head to Sea Ranch to try their freshly caught seafood and incredible views from the second level.
We recommend trying the Peel n Eat Shrimp, with half a pound of freshly boiled shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce, to split with the table. The Heat from the Deep is a crowd favorite, complete with four Gulf shrimp wrapped with cream cheese, jalapeno, and bacon strips. As a main dish, everybody will love their choice of a chicken breast, 14-ounce ribeye, filet mignon, shore burger, lamb chops, or chopped sirloin with their choice of soup, salad, and one side — try the yummy sweet potato fries or scalloped potatoes!
