Perfect home

The house was perfect, great location, clean and stocked. Our family enjoyed the pool and game room. Walked to the corner and rented a golf cart that we enjoyed so much. The house is not even a block away from the beach. It came with so many amenities such as lawn chairs, wagon and beach toys for the kids. Highly recommend for large families!

Great Place and amazing location

Pictures do not do this place justice, it’s much bigger than pictured. Great Layout for large group. My family and friends enjoyed everything about it. The location is perfect, right in the middle of everything. Less than 5min walk to beach access and golf cart rentals on each end of street. Will definitely look to stay here again when we return to Padre Island in the future.

A Great Place to Stay!

Review : We are so delighted to have had another fantastic trip this year returning to this amazing home! The accommodations are consistently spectacular! This home has abundance of room and relaxation! The pool is one of our favorite amenities and the pool umbrellas are a game changer for sure! With 9 adults and 2 kids, we still had extra room. We did not get to bring out beach stuff but the garage was fully stocked with pool noodles, toys, coolers and more. We love this home and highly recommend as a 100/10 ☀️🌊☀️🌊☀️🌊☀️🌊

Wonderful setup for families of teens

The downstairs game room with a large bedroom and living space was amazing for our teens to enjoy while the parents/adults could still quietly watch a movie upstairs. LOVED the large dining table with enough room to fit our entire group for our big family meals! Super convenient access to the beach with all the supplies you could need! Beds are also super comfortable. Would definitely book again!

Excellent House!

We had a group of people 11 people there this past week, and a a dog. This house hit every mark and need we were looking for in a house. It’s not the first time we have gone to SPI with such a large group, but every house before this one had some issue or another. This house was beyond words perfect! The owners were very responsive and quick to get back to me anytime I had a question. We have already decided we are going next year and staying there again.

The Gulfside Gathering Place.

The set up of this property was well thought out. It had plenty of room for our family of 12. There was plenty to do and it is definitely easy to stay entertained here. The pool & outside areas were nicely set up and when that wasn’t being used we were taking advantage of the game room. The kitchen is a great size and was fully stocked with almost everything you could think of. Clear instructions are sent to you prior to check in; and made expectations & the checkout process easier. Property Management had great communication & was quick with responses. We will definitely be booking here again.
