    Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals).

Awesome stay

We had an awesome stay. This was our first time using SPI and we had an excellent time. My checkin was smooth no issues. We were a large group that had more than four cars and the staff answered all our questions on where we can park without having any issues. We were only a very short walk to the beach. The house was great, we would stay here again!

Walk to the beach and enjoy the waves and sand

Nice place. Location is choice, walking to beach is simple. There is no pool heater when the description leads you to believe so. Overall nice place, with ocean right there. Wake up, walk to the beach and enjoy the waves and sand.

This was a perfect stay for our family vacation. Six adults and 2 kids. Not only was the house plenty big but there were so many extras- games, the garage had ping pong and fooseball, fully equipped kitchen…. Pool with outdoor shower was a great way to end a beach day. Easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Annual Trip

Once again we enjoyed our annual stay at SPI. The house was lovely and pictures matched what we found. The only two things to note: the main floor bedroom is separate from all the others and has either an outdoor entrance (from the pool) or an entrance from inside the garage and the bunk room needs the bunks attached to the walls—extremely squeaky with the slightest movement. The outdoor kitchen could’ve been cleaner but overall we lived our stay.

Space & Pool

This house has everything you need. The three levels provided plenty of space for fifteen of us. The beds were comfortable. The outside pool area was a big hit with all ages. The best part is that the ocean is a very short walk to paradise! One suggestion we would make is to have an outside patio table so we could have ate and played cards outside while the kids swam.

Excellent

We had a great time. The seaside sanctuary is a beautiful and spacious house, and it's about as close to the beach as you can get without being literally beach front. Back yard pool, hot tub, and grills (flat top and "standard") were a real bright spot for evening relaxing. Reasonably clean and kitchen is well appointed, but knives and nonstick pans were in pretty rough shape. Tons of comfy beds, two dining seating areas, and a generous lounge/tv area for relaxing between adventures.

Review

We loved our home and the location. The pool and outdoor spaces were so lovely! That flattop grill was a hit! Just a short walk to the beach and access to chairs, cooler, umbrellas was the perfect addition. Could have advertised the home had some of the amenities in lieu of renting them. And the basement bedroom could use air conditioning. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay!

Seaside sanctuary

The inside of house was awesome!!! Bedrooms all very comfortable and cool. Only issues we had was not enough pots and pans . We were very disappointed in the outside kitchen area !!! Very very dirty! The guys spent a long time cleaning the black stone and grill. TV's didn't work and very little sitting . The lounge chairs that were there were rusted and had sharp edges The pool and hot tub was awesome!! Very clean . Overall we would rent again .

Fine, but not as great as the pictures make it look

Starting with the positives. The beds were comfortable and sleeping arrangements were as advertised. The hot tub and pool were great additions. The three levels provided plenty of space. The best part was the location; a short, easy walk to the beach. The bad is the condition of the exterior kitchen and backyard area. The patio furniture is rusted through. I understand the conditions of the area (salt water), but replacing items more often is just necessary in those kinds of elements. The outdoor TV didn't work and the countertops/stucco could have just used a deep cleaning to make it more appealing for us to spend more time out there and prepare food in the area. The fence needs mending/replacing. In general, if the exterior kitchen/sitting area had been cleaner and offered furniture that wasn't rusted through, we would have utilized and enjoyed this space more amd would have rated better. But, we chose this house over others because the pictures make that seem like an area to spend a lot of time. We didn't use it near as much as we would have liked to because of the condition.

Great Vacation House

Our family of fourteen, six adults and eight children ages eleven and younger, recently spent a week at this house. This house has so many positives, from its close proximity to the beach, great pool with adjoining hot tub, outdoor kitchen,garage loaded with games and lots of beach toys and chairs, comfortable beds, quality appliances, and on and on. We would consider renting this house again. Why is my rating only above average? With a few improvements it could be much more visually appealing. Both front and back decks are in desperate need of paint or stain and the front deck could be useful with some furniture. The pool area lacks any landscaping. Maybe the owner doesn't want to maintain grass? That's fine but why have all those beautiful empty pots? A few flowers would make the space beautiful. I cannot leave a review without mentioning South Padre Rentals. We had a few minor issues when we arrived. Their polite and charming maintenance man was there within minutes and resolved everything. When I called the office about another problem, it was immediately resolved. I will definitely use this agency in the future!
