About this property

Luxurious Beachfront Condo with Stunning Views

Stunning views and beautiful surroundings will be yours while you enjoy your stay on South Padre Island, Texas' best kept secret. The sand is white and fluffy, the surf is gentle, the open air beach bars serve up great music along with yummy concoctions. I fell in love with the island the first moment I set foot and knew right then I needed a little slice of this paradise to call my own. I searched for about a year to find the perfect spot. I chose the unit I did because it has one of the best views on the island. Part of this is due to the fact that it is one of the older buildings on the island and consequently is set closer to the Gulf than properties built more recently. When I purchased in 2013, I renovated the condo completely. Even I was amazed at the total transformation of my beachfront condo. Everything has been redone, from the smooth walls and ceilings, to the 24" faux travertine porcelain floor tiles.
The kitchen features custom espresso wood cabinetry, eco friendly vetrazzo counter tops & glass tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances and it's fully stocked with every needed kitchen utensil: blender, basket type coffeepot, etc.
The bathroom has a luxurious oversized shower with bench seat, toiletry shelf & frameless shower door. Featuring a whimsical design with bubble tile shower flooring, mosaic tiles, blue martini glass lights, lots of counterspace and a vessel sink.
The bedroom features a queen bed & twin bunk beds with stairs, not a ladder. Yes, the kids can have their own beds! :) A full sized chest of drawers and large nightstand complete the ensemble.
Relax in the living area with a flat screen tv, dvd player, ipod docking station and a pull out queen sized sleeper sofa. The chairs are comfy too. I have also left a few games on the end tables & a couple books to enjoy while you're here, or surf the net with complimentary WiFi.
Most lights in the condo are on dimmers so you can create a soothing ambiance. Your unit is also stocked with plenty of bath towels and beach towels.
La Internacional has an onsite heated pool and spa with plenty of padded recliners and succulent tropical vegetation, an elevator, laundry facilities and beach access.
There are numerous things to do on the island: go see the sea turtles, take a dolphin cruise, climb the lighthouse, take yoga, get a massage, windsurf, surf, scuba dive, take a sand castle lesson, go see a band, play mini golf, go to Schlitterbahn, bungee jump, take a jewelry making lesson at Art Sea, the list just goes on and on. Rent a beach chair during the summer months or bring your own to enjoy the beach. The sand is great. So great, in fact, that South Padre Island hosts a sand castle competition every year that brings in professional artists from around the globe. The surf is small & the water at the shore shallow enough to allow the children to play in the water while you relax on the beach with a book and a drink. Yes!

We had a great time. Initial thought was that it was a bit small, but dont let youre initial thoughts fool you. Place was actually perfectly sized for three adults. We spent 90% of our time on the beach, which was just feet away. Access from the condo to the beach was perfect. Made breakfast, lunch, and dinner with no issues. Recommend stopping at HEB in Port Isabel to get any groceries. We do plan on returning. Highly recommended.

Cozy and clean

We had a great stay here. The place was cozy and comfy. We appreciated that it was very clean, also. The view from the deck was lovely. We were very impressed with the ease and promptness of communication with our host, not to mention their willingness to work with us when we made an error in our reservation. A great place.

Very nice stay

Property was very clean and well kept. Unit was small but adequate for 2 people. Right on the beach. Nice location. Nice long beach for walking. Lanai was just big enough for 2 people. Was very noisy at times but I wouldn’t say it should keep anyone from renting this unit.

Perfect vacation for two

I loved the little condo on the beach. Walk out the front door to the ocean and the back to the pool. I bought a little umbrella and left it there for future use. The beach is beautiful. Bar right next door with live music so you can finish your night off without worrying about driving. Clean and well stocked, other than a toaster, unless I missed it.

Perfect for our family

It was perfect for our family of 3, other properties I looked at had a queen bed and sofa sleeper. I didn’t want our toddler to sleep away from us, the bunk bed in the bedroom was perfect. She loved sleeping on the top bed and coming down the steps. We also wanted to be close to the beach for a quick walk to a toilet with potty training. The view was perfect, our toddler would wake up every morning and first thing look out the window to see the beach. The amenities was perfect, had everything we needed.

The bed

Our only issue was the bed. It was just horrible to sleep on. It was me and my fiancee there by day 3 we even tryed the bunk beds at that point. Very cute unit for 2 people just may want to consider up dating the bed.

Right on the beach

It was great to be right on the beach, just a few steps to be on the sand. The view from the balcony was amazing. The pool and hot tub were clean. We enjoyed that it was open until 11 each night! The condo was clean and the extra towels were really nice, especially because it was so humid - there was no way to dry them by hanging them outside! The only downside I can come up with is that the main bed was VERY FIRM! Too firm for me, so I opted to sleep on the couch. The bunk beds were comfy according to my teens. We would stay here again if we make it back to SPI.

Lovely apartment in great village

We had a small issue getting into the apartment, which the owner resolved fairly quickly. The unit is very clean and as advertised. The best part of our stay was talking with the other residents, c who are friendly and welcoming. The pool and hot tub area is shielded from the wind from the ocean, which is nice. The building is steps to the beach. The unit was sparkling clean and the kitchen adequately stocked. Only suggestion would be to update some of the utensils and cooking materials (e.g, the can opener is rusted badly and barely worked). We'd stay here again if we return to SPI!!

Beautiful Condo and great location!

The condo was small but well done and right on the beach. Property was next to my favorite beach bar wanna wanna! The only issue we had is that we came in late and the numeric lock code did not work. We were stuck with no place to go in the middle of the night with two teenagers after a long 6 hour drive. Luckily I found an unlocked window and climbed through. I read this same issue in another review. The lock seems pretty old, I think it's time to replace it. The Property manager was apologetic but I think offering some sort of credit would have been nice. Other than the issue at check in our stay was great!

We enjoyed our stay. Your home was perfect except the bed was a little too high. I had to use the provided step stool to enter and exit the bed. The view and beach access was exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay again. Thank you

The view was fantastic! The small appliances along with the love seat needs updating. The interior needs to be painted. The entire apartment smelled musty and stayed humid the entire stay. The complex is older and maybe that would explain some issue's with the humidity.

Beach tim

Overall, our stay was very good. The first impression was that everything was smaller than expected and I opened the curtains to find scaffolding blocking the view of the beach. Luckily, that was moved the next day and although there was ongoing repair work noise, we could see the beach.I liked that we had plenty of high quality towels to use. That isn’t usually the case.We had to cut our stay short by 2 days due to travel/ weather issues but enjoyed every day of the time we were there.

Absolute perfection

This quaint little condo is clean, recently remodeled and a few yards from the beach. The owner provided everything you would ever need for a stay. If you have more than 2 guests bring extra towels. The complex is dated but well maintained and you cannot beat the views from your balcony. It’s also quiet and secure. I’ve tried the fancy high rise pricey condos but this one will be my go to from now on.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Scandalis

Host profile image
For those of us that are drawn to the water and the beach, we have to return often to feel whole. Originally from San Francisco, CA I grew up going to the beach almost daily. I attended UC Santa Barbara and again, went to the beach almost daily. Then I moved to the Russian River in Northern California...same story. In 2005 I relocated to Texas and now live in Little Elm on the shore of Lake Lewisville. I am very fortunate to live on the water and the lake is beautiful, but still the ocean calls! I taught French and Spanish in CA but recreated myself when I moved to TX. I now assist people in buying and selling homes and land, primarily lakefront.
I have two wonderful children that are yin and yang. Jacob, my serious 14 year old, plays the bassoon and is a voracious reader. Dex, my silly 9 year old, loves to play electric guitar and is craftier than McGyver.

Why they chose this property

I have a serious case of wanderlust and have always traveled extensively. Some places I go to once, others many times, however when I hit the beach at South Padre for the first time just three short years ago I immediately felt at home. I found a way to go 4 times that year and the search for the perfect property was on.
La Internacional is the perfect locale in my opinion. It is the closest property to the Gulf so the views are the best. Wanna Wanna is just next door and is a great laid back waterfront open air bar & grill. They have live music on the weekends and mellow tunes with a good sound system otherwise. Also in walking distance is the Laguna Madre Yoga and Meditation Center, where you can take not only Yoga, but Zumba, Pilates, Tango, & Hula. They have massage services, too! Many restaurants are also within walking distance, including Parrot Eyes, which I adore not just because the food is wonderful but also because there are always pelicans hanging out waiting for the fishermen to give them a treat. While it's a bit of a jaunt, I also walk up to Turtle Inc. It takes me about 10-15 min. What else do I have to do? I will jump on the Wave (see below) if I'm feeling lazy. It's really not to be missed. Learn about the Sea Turtles and get to see them up close. If you get there close to opening, they will even let you 'feed' one. Dolphin watching is also good on the island and the pod that lives here likes to play with the boats so they are easy to see. I could go on and on, but really, being on the island just feels good!

What makes this property unique

When I come to the island, I typically fly. The shuttle from Brownsville is FREE. Yes, that is not a typo. It is Free. The Wave is free public transportation on the island and runs up and down the island. If you are not at a bus stop, no worries. Flag them down, they will stop. It doesn't get more laid back then that. If It goes to Port Isabel too, which you shouldn't miss while you're here. The pirate boat is a blast, the shopping quaint, the farmers market, yummy!
