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.

Perfect location and property for adults

This is a beautiful property and a wonderful place to book several rooms for a larger group stay. It was clean, quiet and well-maintained. The AC worked well! The pool and outdoor area was one of our favorite parts! And you are very close to beach access. We met the owner who was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely book this place again!

Great Condo

This is my second time to stay at Athena Ares and it was great. It's right across the street from the beach and near lots of restaurants and bars. The condo has everything you need and is super comfortable.

Excellent location, well equipped property, great communication from hosts.

We visited for a family gathering for Thanksgiving and found the apartments very well equipped and the beds very comfortable. It was a shame the weather did not allow us to fully enjoy the out door space and pool, but it looked like a great place to spend time outside.

Great Condo & Great Location

We've become regulars at this property. It's part of our annual summer trip. You just can't beat the location to the beach. You just walk across the street to the public beach access and boom there's the ocean. Also, it's far enough away from the large condos and hotels that the beach is not crowded. We really enjoy the pool and overall aesthetics of this unit. It's also good to see the owners are making updates when needed such as replacing furniture and fixtures. Check-in and, especially, check-out process is so easy. In summary, as always, we were very happy with our stay and plan on coming back next year. Thank you!

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!
