Host a group getaway or plan your next family reunion at this sprawling South Padre Island duplex. With room for 25 guests (18 adults), a private pool, and a beachside location, this Texas duplex makes sure everyone has privacy and room to spread out. If you're traveling with a smaller group, Side A and Side B can both be rented separately. Please contact Vacasa for details!

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood about a block from the beach, you'll be just a short walk from seaside dining spots and cute boutiques. Take the whole crew down to the family-friendly Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Beach Resort, where you'll find a whole day's worth of waterslides and sun-soaked fun! Spend the afternoon simply unwinding at the beach, or rent a jet ski for some adventures on the waves.

These two separate homes both offer private washer/dryers, updated kitchens, free WiFi, and open living areas where everyone can gather with ease. Hang out with your loved ones in the fenced backyard while you grill a delicious meal on the charcoal BBQ, then cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool. Check out what's on cable, or break out the provided board games for a night of fun and laughter. The adults can end the day out on the patio with a nightcap while the kids play games inside.

With room for everyone, a prime location, and a pool all to yourselves, this seaside Texas home is the ideal spot for your next group getaway. Book today!
We welcome winter Texans in this home. For stays over 30 days.

Things to Know:
**** Please note, Texas weather brings pesky insects, and while we strive to ensure your stay is as pleasurable as possible, we are not able to control the elements that attract insects to the outdoor/indoor areas. All properties do utilize pest control maintenance regularly, BUT this does not guarantee pests or bugs will not be visible.
** The host does not always guarantee stable wifi services during your stay. This may also affect television streaming services.

Duplex in South Padre Island

Rented both sides of duplex… House was a little outdated but clean and lots of room. Be sure to bring some of your own kitchen cooking utensils as these were in short supply. Also hot water did not work on one side of downstairs bathroom. But overall it was a nice place. Pool and backyard were great. Not too long of walk to beach….

Confusing

Hot tub didn't work, cold & hot water were reversed on kitchen faucet Side A, mold on ceilings in bathrooms on B side. Paint peeling above stove on A side, on both sides there were alot of light switches that didn't do anything, In side A the drain line in the garage leaks & runs thru the garage to outside, washer in side B only works on one cycle, website pictures need to be update. Other than these things it was a big house for our family to be together.

It’s the pictures they don't show

Proximity to the beach was wonderful but the condition of the town homes was very disappointing. I should have read all the previous reviews before booking.

It was nice but.....

The property is nice, but needs work. The location is fantastic, and the 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 2 kitchens works out great for a large group. However, when we got there, the place was not super clean. Upon walking in the door, the hard floors were already gritty with sand. The sliding glass door in unit A was off the track, and one of the toilet seats in unit B was broken. Both of these should have been caught by the cleaning crew and addressed before we got there. As we stayed, we learned the washing machine in unit A also didn't work due to a plumbing problem. The pool was filthy, and despite asking to have it cleaned, no one showed up. The houses are nice, but they need some TLC. Some walls are missing paint. Some of the electrical outlets don't work. The ones that do work are so "loose" that it's hard to keep the items plugged in because the plugs fall out. The bed layouts are also incorrect in the listing. In unit A, on the third floor there is a bedroom with a king bed and another bedroom with 2 twin over double bunkbeds. On the bottom floor there is a room with a double bed. In Unit B, on the third floor there is a bedroom with a king bed and another bedroom with a double bed and a twin over double bunkbed. On the bottom floor there is a room with a queen bed. This room appears to have been added as an afterthought. There is no AC in there, so they brought in a portable AC unit that kept the room mostly comfortable. However, that unit drips water due to the humidity, and the pan that catches the water has to be emptied every 6 hours or so or it overflows. So the couple that stayed in there had to get up in the middle of the night to empty the pan or there would be water all over the floor. When we checked in, the pan was overflowing and there was a lot of water we had to mop up. I don't mean to sound all negative. Despite all this, we had a great time. The house just needs some TLC and a little more attention from the property management company.

Remember it's a rental...

Unfortunately for us and for the person who owns this house, the previous renters partied a bit too hard. They destroyed a couch and threw up over much of the house. We had to avoid some of the bedrooms and other areas of the house due to the vomit smells. Not sure this is really the owners fault. I'm not sure what you can really do to keep people like this out. However, we made the best of it. Only downfall has been that no one contacted us to apologize or offer any future discounts due to the issue. We didn't complain as we knew there was not much they could do physically. Just would've been nice to have been reached out to in the hopes of making things right.

Not really!

Property, pool and grounds are not well maintained and the trash was overflowing when we arrived and never picked up. Kitchen is outdated, old stained pots and pans and of course plastic bowls and plates...no sets included. Old, dirty and stained couches, interior decorating needs to be updated and updated (Seriously napkins used for curtains and a bathroom light fixture mounted in bar area) along with beds that were just as disgustingly old. Cooling system on ground floor just horrible overall it was just a miserable stay. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone it wasn't at all what we expected. Dissappointed that you still have it listed!
