Perfect SPI Home

Location was perfect. It is steps from the beach but not on the beach, which means that it is quiet, and you don’t have random people walking by the house to get to the beach. Our extended families took a 5-day trip down to South Padre Island during the 4th of July holiday break. On the 4th the main strip and the beach were packed, but the road the house is in was quiet and peaceful. The fireworks were majestic.The home is very spacious and clean. There is enough room for everyone to sleep as well as gather. Every couch has a pull-out bed and there are 6 beds in the 3 bedrooms. The game room was perfect for all the older kids to hang out and get to have their own space.Full kitchen with all the cooking tools and dining essentials. We enjoyed being able to make meals in the home when we didn’t go out to enjoy the many delicious restaurants SPI has to offer. We also enjoyed having the two charcoal grills to cook out.They do require an insurance during booking and there were a few forms to fill out that detailed who would be staying and what vehicles would be parked overnight. Just simple legal forms that are there to protect the owners, property management, and yourself. I read a reply that mentioned that the city of SPI suggests these in case of an emergency. As with any rental, there were rules listed and cleaning instructions, but they were far less than other stays I’ve had. No stripping linens or starting dishwasher or washing machines. Property management was excep

We were so pleasantly surprised with Destination Constellation! Plenty of room and very comfy. Also loved the pool area and had several night swims! The only suggestion we have is to somehow mark the step down in the game room. We stumbled on it even though we knew it was there! We hope to be back next year!

Fabulous South Padre Vacation

Southern Destination is a gorgeous, very well maintained vacation home. We found everything in the home to be exactly as described and depicted in the photos. Our family of five vacationed at Southern Destination for 8 days and we could not be happier with our choice. We will definitely be returning! The home was very well stocked with pool towels, bath towels, dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room and around the two dining tables gave us room to spread out. There were several chairs and a cooler provided to take to the beach which was just a quick 3 minute walk. A second fridge located in the laundry room was very helpful for extra storage of food and drinks. Another small drink fridge outside near the pool was convenient for easy access to drinks and snacks. Most of our time was spent outside in and around the pool. The pool and backyard were larger than expected and very clean. The front and rear balconies offer even more outdoor seating and space to spread out. This home has more than enough room for a large group. The beds were comfortable. One of us slept on the sofa bed in the gameroom and found it to be surprisingly comfortable. The other sofas have the same type of fold out air mattresses. There were two full bathrooms upstairs and a third full bathroom downstairs. All were very clean with good storage. We will be back for sure!

Little oasis

This place surpassed our expectations. The pictures that are online do not do it justice. It was truly a relaxing little getaway. The place was exceptionally clean and stocked with towels, and miscellaneous items for the beach including chairs and cornhole. The pool was so relaxing and shaded making it comfortable to be in there all day and avoid the harsh sun. It was so close to a clean and picturesque beach access. The game room included various games to keep our kids occupied throughout our stay. We really can't wait to stay here again!

Great Summer Beach vacation

Enjoyed our week here with our adult children. Pool is great fun and set up for lounging and enjoying each other’s company. Beds were great and plenty of TVs and lounging spots so everyone could spread out when needed. Beach proximity is awesome and so nice to have the cart, cooler and chairs to use. We used the kitchen for breakfast and snacks and it worked great, you’ll need to pick up basics if planning to cook nothing stocked in the kitchen (oil, salt, pepper). The IGA is close so easy to get what you need. Will definitely recommend and stay again if in the area!
