My husband and I stayed at this studio and it was perfect. It had everything we needed and the view from the outdoor patio was really nice. We were in town for a fishing tournament so it was a plus to be able to dock our boat here! We would definitely stay here again!
Great view and everything a couple would need for a stay at the beach. Easy check-in and property manager very nice.
We used the beach chairs supplied and went to the Kite Festival which was really fun and impressive. Small place but very well stocked.
Clean and comfortable studio with a nice view of water
Clean and comfortable studio with a nice view of water, it has a home away from home feel, our pet also enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. It is a short distance from the beach and various eateries. Rod & Rosa were very responsive and helpful. Will definitely come back again.

Never disappointed; always a great stay.
I had a bigger than normal efficiency condo. Working with Blue Ocean Realty for my 3rd year in a row. Rosa and Rod; with their team is very reachable and always accommodating for anything that I had requested. Never had to reach out to them, where there wasn't a quick response. I have already booked with them for the same location. Great people personal skills from both Rosa and Rod.
My husband, myself and our 12 year old grandson had a wonderful time. We normally stay in a larger home but since it was only 3 of us it was perfect. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The air condition was nice and cold and was a treat with our Texas heat. We have a boat so having the boat slip was nice. It is first come first serve but we didnt have a problem having a space to return too each time we took the boat out. The host were very quick to respond. The property is older but very quiet and clean. Thank you we will definitely return.

Wonderful place to stay
We loved staying at Landfall Tower. It was affordable and the view was amazing! We liked that we had a little kitchenette to prepare meals from time to time during our stay. And we were within a few blocks of the beach. Highly reommended.

Quaint condo!
Landfall Tower is a quiet, well-kept property. Our family of 3 really enjoyed our efficiency condo. It was clean, well-stocked, and nicely decorated. The porch is spacious and has a lovely view of the the bay and causeway. Love the door code lock - no keys to keep up with and makes for easy check in and out:) Thank you!

Great Location on the island and just the place to relax.
If you looking for a place to chill out while out and about all day, this is the place. This efficiency although a few years old meet all needs of a small kitchen, living area and bathroom. We had a great view of the bay and canal in front of the unit. Even when it was too windy one day to go to the beach, we enjoyed the pool and the hot tub spa. We were with 8 minutes from any destination we chose to go too. Not sure if more that two adults would be comfortable with the couch being very close by. But for us two, it was perfect for the price.

About the host
Hosted by Blue Ocean Vacation Rentals, LLC
I am an island person born and grew up in Puerto Rico. Marriage brought me to Dallas area but my body and soul always pulled me towards the ocean. I chose South Padre Island because the beaches and the ocean are the best of Texas.
Why they chose this property
The city of South Padre Island has many activities for all age groups. We wanted to be a part of this wonderful vacation spot where there’s deep sea and bay fishing, dolphin watch tours, and many other water activities. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants to choose from and nothing compares to the seafood of the Gulf of Mexico! Watching the amazing sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre Bay are a special treat! There’s always something to do here, no matter what time of the year. We hope you’ll come choose to stay in our relaxing “Little piece of South Padre Island”, down in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas!
What makes this property unique
Small but cozy and a great balcony, this studio is perfect for your beach getaway with a friend, partner or small family! Sleeps up to 4 people with a queen bed and a sofa bed, kitchen with small fridge/freezer, stove, oven, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and most utensils. Elevator building on the 7th floor and a view of the Queen Isabella Causeway. A shared pool and hot tub, boat docks, coin laundry and a BBQ area.
