South Padre Island is a beach destination located at the tip of the Texas coast, just north of Brownsville, Texas and is bordered on the east side by the Gulf of Mexico and on the west side by the Laguna Madre. The island is only accessible by causeway or boat.

Two additional rollaway beds will be located in the downstairs enrty closet. All sixteen guests will have easy access to covered patio and pool area in a beautifully landscaped backyard. You may bring your personal beach towels for the pool and beach but we have extra if needed. Bath towels provided by Southern Destination cannot be used at the beach.

Perfect island getaway stay.
This home was everything as advertised. Beautiful, big, clean, and a bunch of extras. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions and a huge plus was allowing us to bring our family dog. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone and hope to stay here again in the future.

Family Christmas at SPI
Our Southern Destinations beach house was perfect for our family of 10 plus 2 dogs. The kids loved the pool, and it was great to have a 2 minute walk to the beach. The game room was great for the kids. Having a large driveway was perfect for 3 vehicles and a boat trailer. Great time!

Room for all
We loved this house and it's location just a block from the beach. We walked to the beach everyday! The great thing about this house is all the areas you can gather. So a large family can have various activities going on at the same time. The large living room is open. Two dining areas inside and one outside. Living room on the main floor and a sitting area on the upper floor. Large balconies front and back. And the pool and pool deck. Amazing!

Perfect Family Getaway
Such a perfect home for a family (or two). We had plenty of room for 16 of us (7 adults and 9 kids) and didn’t lack for anything. The house was very clean, and we enjoyed every part of it. From the well equipped kitchen, to plenty of towels for all us, we didn’t need to purchase anything beyond a few extra garbage bags and toilet paper (which is expected with such a large group). There are plenty of places within walking distance to get anything you may be missing or forgot, and the beach couldn’t be any closer unless you were staying at a house on it. The only negative was the pool area being slippery with the tiles used near the house, but we put a towel or two down so the kids wouldn’t fall if they decided to walk on the tile dripping wet.
