Ready to escape to the beach and feel the sand between your toes? You have come to the right place. Athena Ares Condominiums is located almost directly across from the beach access. It takes less than 5 minutes to get to the water!

South Padre has so many wonderful activities for your family to participate in while you are on the island. Just across Padre Island Boulevard are several restaurants and bars are within walking distance. South Padre Island enjoys a unbelievable variety of amusement amenities, including fishing, swimming, wind surfing, beach buggy rides, horseback riding, party cruises and a huge variety of water sports along the most beautiful gulf coast of South Texas. Your guests and family will also enjoy visiting well-known attractions such as The Birding Center, Turtle Rescue Center, Horseback Riding and Petting Center, and Museums. Shopping, restaurants with a variety of cuisines, and beach front clubs and bars are located throughout the island on our three major boulevards: Padre Island Blvd., Gulf Blvd., and Laguna Blvd. Another popular attraction is an eight-mile ride North to the end of the of Hwy 100. There you will find beautiful sand dunes and a natural beach setting that is admired by travelers from all over the world. There are two drive-on beach accesses that allow you to drive north on the beach for over 20 miles.

We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We appreciated the opportunity to host you and your family again this year and we hope to be able to continue the tradition. We are aware that you experienced a temperature issue with our hot tub on the Thursday afternoon/evening of your arrival, but it was our understanding that our pool maintenance crew came out first thing on Friday morning and resolved that issue. And since we did not receive any further complaints from you over the weekend, we assumed that the hot tub was functioning properly. That being said, we will be sure to follow up with our pool crew and make sure that we don't have an issue that we are unaware of. Looking forward to having you back next year!
