Recent Texas Gulf Coast guest reviews

Short walk to view the launch, wonderful pool area, lots of room, great customer service and affordable.
Darcy I. | Nov 2024
This was such a great spot for my spouse, kids, and I to get away for a long weekend. It's in close proximity to a lot of restaurants, walking distance to the water, and a short drive to some great locations like Goose Island State Park.
Chad T. | Nov 2024
This casita was perfectly appointed and so pretty! Loved the decor. Total beach vibes and had everything we needed. All four of us were very comfortable. It was so nice to look out to the golf course while making coffee in the morning. We used the kitchen to cook dinner too, loved the extra bathroom downstairs and hanging out together in the family room was so relaxing and comfortable. Perfect size for a beach getaway. No one wanted to leave!

Considered by many to be the classic Texas beach destination, South Padre Island boasts calm waves, wide beaches, and endless aquatic adventure. Rent a boogie board, surfboard, or just beach chairs, and enjoy the Gulf of Mexico’s water.
