Step into the warm embrace of Port Isabel, a delightful coastal community that whispers tales of history and invites you to savor a slower pace of life. Tucked in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, our property at 1323 Harbor Island Dr Unit #138 offers a cozy haven mere moments from the renowned South Padre Island—a beach lover's paradise where waves dance and water sports come alive.

Our neighborhood is like a friendly secret, a haven of tranquility with a touch of convenience. Venture on foot to uncover charming seafood eateries, charming shops, and the iconic Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historic Site. Leisurely walks to the Pirates Landing Fishing Pier for a day of casting lines or a calming sunset saunter along the harbor are at your fingertips.

For the adventurers among us, the enchanting South Padre Island beckons, a short drive away. Here, sandy shores kiss turquoise waters, offering endless possibilities. Whether you're a kiteboarding maverick, a fishing aficionado, a dolphin whisperer, or simply a sun seeker, this vacation haven promises delights for all.

Remember, it's not just a stay in our neighborhood; it's an invitation to embrace local life, to revel in the coastal beauty of Texas, and to seize the sun-soaked excitement of South Padre Island—your home away from home.
During your stay, you will have the exclusive use of the entire home, ensuring privacy and comfort.
Our property is conveniently located for you to enjoy all that Port Isabel and South Padre Island have to offer. One dedicated parking space is available directly in front of the condo, making it easy for you to arrive and settle in. Additionally, we offer a parking pass that can be used in another designated spot, giving you flexibility if you're bringing more than one vehicle or hosting visitors.

If you're looking to explore the local area, most amenities in Port Isabel are within walking distance or a short drive from the property. Enjoy a range of local shops, restaurants, and historic attractions right at your doorstep.

The charm of South Padre Island is just a quick car journey away. The drive is straightforward and scenic, offering beautiful views of the Laguna Madre Bay. Once there, you can enjoy the stunning beaches, thrilling water sports, and vibrant nightlife that the Island is famous for.

For those who prefer not to drive, there are several transportation options available. The Island Metro, South Padre Island's free shuttle service, offers routes that cover both South Padre Island and Port Isabel. There's also the option of taxis or ride-share services like Uber and Lyft for convenient travel.

House was nice. Nice layout. One issue was stairs to get in location. 3 flights. House could have been cleaner. There were 7 of us and only 1 towel and wash cloth per person so we had to do laundry. The host was great. Any issues or questions we had were answered promptly.

Great location and friendly host!
Here's a sample review for a beach condo with those features: 1. **Location**: The condo is right on the water, providing breathtaking views of the bay from the balcony and living areas. The beach is just steps away, making it incredibly convenient for sunbathing, swimming, or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the shore. 2. **Cleanliness**: The condo was impeccably clean upon arrival. The housekeeping staff clearly takes pride in their work, as every corner of the unit was spotless. The fresh linens and well-maintained furniture added to the overall sense of comfort and luxury. 3. **Customer Service**: The customer service was top-notch. From the moment we booked the condo to the end of our stay, the staff was friendly, responsive, and attentive to our needs. Any questions or requests we had were promptly addressed, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. 4. **Amenities**: The condo is well-equipped with all the modern amenities one could need. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and utensils for preparing meals, and the living area was cozy and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. High-speed Wi-Fi, a large flat-screen TV, and comfortable beds made our stay even more pleasant.

Great choice
The house was wonderful. I cannot say enough about Tim and Vanessa's warm welcome. They took the time to call the morning of check in and made me feel like I did not need to worry about a think. They also went out of their way to help me look for a fishing charter. I do a lot of rentals and they went above and beyond any other experience. Thank you both and the next time we come to the area I will certainly look you up.

Nice get away
Renting was easy. The condo was nice. The only thing was, I never noticed that it was a 3rd floor unit. We are in our mid 70s and my husband has a bad knee. We were ok cause we didn't go up & down the stairs frequently, but we might have if the weather had been better. Also, it was difficult to find cause the address was not visible.

This condo was amazing! Very clean and loaded with everything from beach towels to all kitchen utensils! Beds were comfortable. Just get ready to walk up some stairs when loading and unloading your car but other than that everything was great! The balcony was spacious with 4 chairs and a table, very relaxing! We were very impressed! Ms. Vanessa communicated promptly with me and was very friendly and courteous! 5 stars for us!
