**Please note**: All of the island is electric and natural gas heating are not available. Our pool and hot tub are heated by an electric heat pump and heat pumps do not work well when the outside temperature is below 50 degrees. We installed a backup propane heater for the months when it gets below 50. If you are wanting the pool heated in January or February there will be an additional $15 per day charge to keep it at 82 degrees. The hot tub will be heated at no additional charge. I am available by phone at all times. We have a team of people locally if the problem can't be resolved remotely.

* You will be asked to sign a rental agreement for the house and a usage agreement for the golf cart, both will be sent via email a couple of weeks before arrival*

With 34 miles of beautiful white sand and clear emerald water, South Padre Island is one of the world's most exquisite barrier islands – and the only tropical Island in Texas. Calm weather and water and more than 300 days of sunshine make South Padre Island a great place to live and visit all year. It's more than just a beach, it's filled with history, ecotourism at the Sea Turtle rescue, surf lessons, fishing, some of the best sandcastle building in the world, and full of Southern hospitality. There is a free bus system called the Wave, but I highly recommend renting a car for getting around.

Amazing house!
This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 8 adults and 10 kids (2 years old to 13 years old). The kids enjoyed the pool and the slide as well as the room with the bunk beds. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. The host was wonderful to work with and answered any questions promptly.

Palm Paradise: A Dreamy 40th Birthday Celebration
This beach getaway was the perfect way to celebrate my 40th birthday with family! Palm Paradise truly lives up to its name. The close beach access was amazing, and the home itself had everything we needed and more. The hosts have clearly put so much thought into every detail, making our stay unforgettable. The layout was perfect for our multi-generational group. My grandparents stayed comfortably on the first floor, while my parents had their own space. My siblings and nieces and nephews had a blast making memories in this beautiful home. You can truly feel the love that went into making this place so special. We can't wait to return!

This place has it all plus more. Pack your clothes and everything else you could need is at the house. Huge plus when traveling by air. Kids loved the bunk room and indoor slide, as well as the pool area. Adults loved all the entertainment for the kids as well as added plus of the golf cart rental. Easy access to the beach and all other locations on the island.

Me and a big group of family members stayed here and overall the house was great!! Good location, lots of space and the amenities were great!! Comfy beds and two sets of washer snd dryer was also a plus!! Although, the dishes were all dirty even when put away and assumed clean. Also should've been stalked with paper towels.

Wonderful Family Reunion
The house and its location are perfect for a large family reunion or a reunion with friends. The beach is right across the street and was great. I have nothing but good things to say about this property. They have just about anything you might need for the beach in the garage as well as bikes, and a golf cart.

Had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. There really is enough room for many cooks in the kitchen, games at the table or pool area, or for all to gather and watch the super bowl. So glad we met Melissa and Phil when we arrived. They were just a phone call away to help with any questions we had. We will be back!

Gorgeous House
Twelve of us enjoyed a fabulous weekend at this beautiful house! The house was full of wonderful surprises for young and old; the hidden wardrobe was right out of the book! Loved it. Everyone had a good time. Lots of space to spread out and spend time together. The pool, slide, and hot tub were a bonus, as was the access to the beach. Lots of things to do on the island for everyone. So glad to have gathered the family for our 45th wedding anniversary celebration. Many memories were made together…

Beyond amazing!!
Clearly the listing and pictures are amazing but this property in real life was beyond the expectations of the pictures. The homeowners were top notch in responding before the trip and for any questions we had while there. The name of the house was Palm Paradise and was our own paradise for 5 days. The house had everything we needed and more. I could probably go on and on for pages of what was amazing about Palm Paradise but my best comment would be is I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I travel to South Padre again, way too spoiled now!

Perfect house for a large group
We had 20 and had plenty of room, this house has so much, take note of all the things in the garage. Umbrellas, boogie boards, cart, bicycles, extra fridge, ect.. my kids brought t Xbox but there was a gaming console, we did 2 huge puzzles and played in the pool every night. We brought a pool volleyball/net. Location was great for walking or riding the bikes everywhere. We definitely made memories at this place. The kitchen had almost everything, I needed a bigger trash can, Cooking for 20 is messy. ( there are 3 in the kitchen) Nobody sat around bored, if they weren’t at the beach or the pool, shopping and food were super close. My kids were too big for the slide, but I think they all tried it once. Super cool for younger kids. Golf cart was great for running to the store and shops and just exploring. Communication with the Host was 10/10, Probably the best Beach house experience of all the places we’ve visited.

This Is It
If you are looking for a South Padre home to make incredible memories, look no further. This house was the perfect space for our (large) family getaway! So close to the beach, but if you didn't want to stay there, hanging at the house was just as relaxing and enjoyable, if not more sometimes (particularly when the beach was so crowded for the 4th). We had 17 people and yet there were times I couldn't find people in the house because there were so many places to get some privacy. Super comfortable sleeping for all of us. Seriously, you should stay here...you won't regret it. Lightening fast response time from the owner if an issue arises or you have questions.

Great Memories
The walk was short to the beach, we were thankful there was a wagon to put all of our items in to haul to the beach. The backyard was very private and we enjoyed all of the lounging, sliding, visiting, cooking out, hot tub. Plenty of everything listed on the site. (for some reason VRBO had listed 10 bathrooms & 6 parking spots… that was NOT the home owners fault…so just a heads up on that…there are 5 bathrooms. And we were able to maneuver and get 5 cars in the driveway…but as you can see on the pictures, there is public parallel parking out front of the home… we were able to quickly get a couple of empty spots there…that made it easy to get the other vehicles in the driveway and get the golf cart in and out easily.) Thank you Melissa!!!
