Pool‑view balcony: Enjoy a morning coffee overlooking one of the best pool areas on the island (non‑heated) and use the community BBQ grills for dinner. Please remember charcoal if using these pits

 

Definitely family‑friendly to be sure - allowing up to 6 though that’s considering kids as likely best fit - with two queen beds in the bedroom, a sectional couch, and an airbed you can blow up. Please bring bedding if you plan on using. Ideal for two adults and two children though we do allow up to 6 total people, Fully equipped kitchen: Stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils for convenient money‑saving meals.

Important details

 

Capacity: We do allow up to 6 guests (thanks to the airbed) but the condo is best suited for two adults and two children. Please be aware that it is a one‑bedroom unit not on the beach and not brand new or fully remodeled; we want to set proper expectations.

House rules & booking: Guests must read and agree to all house rules before booking. We have a strict cancellation policy and require a digital rental agreement with photo ID for age verification. Please contact us with any questions before reserving. We require primary guest to be 23 years of age or older. You MUST contact us prior to booking as we do allow under 23 with additional refundable damage deposit this is not optional

 

Contactless entry: Managed locally by the best property management company on South Padre Island - South Padre Trips at 2600 Padre Blvd. Door codes are sent via text by 3 p.m. on arrival day we do answer phones 24 hours per day 7 days a week.

 

Please note: We are bringing your attention that this property has a gate code to enter for the parking and once you're at the property, you have to pick up wristbands and parking permits and there is a fee for this. Please message us with any questions - feel free prior to arrival and we can walk you through this check in process because it's easy but it's not straightforward.

 

Supplies & Wi‑Fi: We provide a starter set of toiletries and cleaning supplies; these are not unlimited nor replenished. Wi‑Fi is the highest level available on the island, but outages can occur - hot spot on a cell phone is a great back up option

WRISTBAND FEE — PLEASE READ

Gulfpoint has an HOA-required property and security wristband fee of $35 per person, collected at check-in. This is not our fee — it goes directly to the complex.

During March spring break and Easter week, the fee rises to $40 per person (non-refundable). We pre-collect this for your convenience, or you can pay the security team in cash if you arrive between 3–5 PM, though that will slow down check-in.

 

Licensing: City of South Padre Short Term Rental License available upon request. Property address: 200 Padre Blvd, Gulfpoint

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • Todo excelente en el alojamiento. La alberca climatizada nos encantó y el agua super limpia. Todas las amenidades muy bonitas.

  • Muy buena atención al huesped

  • Todo estuvo perfecto El único detalle esque se nos informo del costo de unas pulseras en 20 dolares y resultó ser 35 dólares. Debería estar la información actualizada. Fuera de eso estuvo perfecto

  • A short and lovely walk away from the beach. We so enjoyed staying here!

  • Great place for the price. Can’t beat it. The family loved it. Easy check in, no loud obnoxious teenagers, amazing pool and fairly close to the beach. The only complaint I have is having to pay 20 per wrist band for anyone over the age of 5 to access the swimming pool and game room. Other than that it was a 10/10

  • Everything was perfect. Thank you!

  • If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation in south padre for vacation, this is NOT THE PLACE TO STAY AT! And I would say none of the properties that are managed by this office would I recommend you stay at. I was told I had to pay a deposit($500) because I was under 25. I said that was fine and that I would pay it. I asked them to send the link and they didnt. They called me ON MY WAY THE DAY OF CHECK IN to say I wouldn’t be able to checkin till I paid I told them to send the link. They didn’t and I checked in! “Leave dishes in dishwasher” there isn’t one. “Laundry included” it’s $20 and the QR code doesn’t work. I asked if they tell me how to change the freezer temp because it was warm, he took a whole day to respond and just said”feel free to adjust however you like” I asked how to adjust it not if I can. Just do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

  • Great location overlooking the pool. Beds were super comfy! Had some issues with the AC but they got someone right over to fix it. Very secure facility and felt very safe. Will stay here again!!
