Recent Texas Gulf Coast guest reviews

We took my in-laws for their birthdays and we all had a blast. We usually go 4-6 times a year and always use vacasa.
Isaac M. | May 2024
This was our 2nd stay at the condo. It was perfect for our family of 5. We loved the pool and easy walk to the beach. It was immaculate and had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. We can’t wait for our next stay!! Thank you for the games and toys for the kids and the TVs in all the rooms!
Amy K P. | May 2024
Staying here was an amazing experience! The place was very spacious, well decorated and clean! There is a wonderful view of the ocean from the front porch! It was beautiful watching the sun rise and set on the patio, while looking at the beach! The house had everything you need, washer and dryer, cookware, grills etc. It also has a fenced yard, which our dog loved and made travel with him easy! The neighborhood is safe and relaxing, with good restaurants nearby! We will be coming back this summer! Overall, we had a delightful experience!

Texas Gulf Coast rentals in the South Padre Island area

Considered by many to be the classic Texas beach destination, South Padre Island boasts calm waves, wide beaches, and endless aquatic adventure. Rent a boogie board, surfboard, or just beach chairs, and enjoy the Gulf of Mexico’s water. South Padre is a hub for boating, fishing, and parasailing---pretty much anything that can be enjoyed out on the water. Book a charter (or your own jetski) and explore beyond the shore. At the end of the day, you’ll have your comfortable South Padre condo rental or beach house rental as your home base.
