What's better than beachfront? Our place! We are directly across the street from the beach, so you get the convenience of beachfront without the beachfront prices. You are a shorter walk to the beach from our condo than you would be in the big resorts with 'beachfront' prices.

Come relax and feel the sand between your toes in beautiful South Padre Island. This is the perfect place to get away from it all. Even better, is our location. We are directly across the street from the beach, and there is a beach access just steps from the condo. It's like being beachfront without the prices! There are no hotels around us, so the beach is not as crowded and the neighborhood is quiet.

Stream your favorite apps, ZOOM, eLearn, etc. with high-speed WIFI internet. Our condos are pet friendly and kid friendly. They are also great for a romantic getaway. Are you setting up a girls' weekend or reunion? You can rent out an entire floor or the whole building and have a private vacation!

New upgrades: Keurig coffee maker, Berlin Gardens outdoor pool furniture, 6 beach chairs, 1 Tommy Bahama beach umbrella, 6 beach towels and a beach wagon. Custom outdoor pool table and outdoor TV in the pool area.

We are thrilled that you are looking at spending some time with us at Athena Ares Condominiums. Our beach home is a pet friendly, family vacation rental. We give 10% discount to Military, Police, and Firemen. The traveler securing the reservation must be 25 years of age or older. For Spring Break / Semana Santa all rental guests must comply with a families only restriction. If the dates that you are looking for are not available in this condo, we have 5 more fantastic condos in the same great complex that might work for your dates. We would appreciate the opportunity to accommodate your stay on the island.

Birthday Vacation
This has become our annual birthday/anniversary spot. We love the home away from home vibe. Some days we wanted to have family time and watch movies, and other days we wanted to go for a swim in the pool or enjoy the day at the beach. Another added bonus is our furkids get to enjoy this with us as well. We have had an amazing time each time we have booked at Athena Ares. Martin and Diane are the best.

Last minute plan B
We were originally scheduled to go to Belize but had to cancel two days before because of Hurricane Beryl. The condo was a perfect plan B. The hosts were quick to respond and we had no issues during our stay. The pool was a nice option with the beach. It really is only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Also, it was on the corner of a quieter road with a huge bike/walk lane so we could safely run. Plenty of towels and the beach chairs/umbrella were a great addition!

The apartment was nicely furnished and well equipped with everything we needed. Water pressure in master bathroom was low, and there were problems with guest bedroom shower. Overall though this was a nice facility in a nice area of the island.

Great winter stay
Location can’t be beat! Across the street from beach without all the blowing sands or dampness. We have been coming to SPI for 10 years for a winter getaway and This was our second winter here and the best equipped condo we have stayed in! Amber from the management company is very attentive to all of our needs and wants. Best of all is the heated pool and hot tub, and outdoor kitchen with tv. Great for gatherings and super bowl parties.

Off season getaway
Stayed in October and it was the best timing. Had the complex to ourselves including the pool. The pool was perfect for little ones with a max depth of 4ft. Was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the condo/pool. Bedroom and kitchen linens had been freshly laundered though I’m not sure the comforters and throw rugs on the bed are routinely cleaned (didn’t look it). Was concerned about bugs being on the first floor but didn’t see a single one. First floor was convenient with our baggage but I wish I would have been told 102’s patio looks out to the dumpster. Water pressure and heat were great with showers. Overall, very happy with our stay and would come again. 4 stars for several reasons - several of the provided equipment (beach umbrella and fan) didn’t work. Management was quick to respond and provided replacements for both. On our second day management unlocked the door and tried to let themselves in (maybe she didn’t know we were there?). We had double locked the door so my husband let her in. She proceeded into the guest bedroom to check for paint after my husband told her our sleeping infant was in that room. There was no paint and we were left with an abruptly awoken baby. Overall, communication was great, however, they failed to tell us there was construction to the road outside the complex where we are supposed to park. It being off season, we were able to park along the main road but I could see parking being a problem if it had been busy.

Friends vacation
We stayed for a week. We rented out 4 of the units.The accommodations were perfect. It was a home away from home. Walking distance to the beach, which we walked almost everyday. The pool area was absolutely beautiful. I want to give a big shout out to Amber. If we needed anything or had any questions she was just a phone call away. We would definitely recommend this rental and would rent again.

Great location, 3 min walk to the beach!
We had a great time in South Padre, and this was a wonderful place to stay. Super short walk to the beach, with a heated pool & hot tub we used when it was too cool to swim in the ocean. We didn’t even get to play on the outdoor pool table. Maybe next time!

Fantastic place to stay in South Padre
The Athena Ares property was absolutely great. Condo was super clean and extremely comfortable for our family. The grounds are wonderful with lots of great green grass if you have a pup. The pool and hot tub are sparkling clean. Best of all you are a 2 minute walk from the beach. South Padre winds can get a bit strong at time and this condo complex is sheltered which makes sitting on the outside patio a pleasure. Awesome place...will definitely return.

Our family loved our stay. So close to the beach. The beautiful pool and hot tub were wonderful. The pool table was used daily. Chairs and wagon in room to take to the beach was much appreciated. The inside of our condo was all exactly as described in the listing. Having a washer and dryer in the condo was great. Would definitely stay here again when in the area!!!

Everything was fantastic here! Location, amenities, each condo…everything! Our group of 19 couldn’t have asked for a better place for our summer trip. Walk in the back yard for our private pool; walk across the street for the ocean. We used the grill for a couple meals and it was perfect! Thank you for a wonderful place.

Why they chose this property

The location is great! We can easily head back to the condo for lunch or just to grab more digging stuff. Then it's just a 1-2 minute walk back across the street and we are there, in the water! We also love walking down to the Wanna Wanna Inn for fried shrimp, cold beer, and good music. When our family comes to visit, we stay in all of the condos and spread out. We get to enjoy being close together without listening to each other snore!
