Beach Cottage, Beach Condo
South Padre Island is a small town, so even if you choose a vacation rental that doesn’t sit on the beach, you will never be far from white sands and blue waters, but you know what you really want for this beach vacation. You want to be able to see the water from your bedroom window when you wake up every morning, you want to sit out on balconies with a glass of wine in hand and watch the sun set the sky on fire as it falls into the sea, and you want salt air, sea breezes, and the serenity of the water to invade all your senses. So, of course, our first suggestion for your Texas getaway is to choose one of our SPI Rentals for your vacation accommodations. Your dreams will come true when you do and because we offer both beach cottages and beach condos, you can find the rental that fits comfortably into your travel budget!
Beach Days
There is a special kind of happiness that comes from being able to step outside, walk a few steps and bury your toes in the sand that you have been dreaming about your whole life, and now that we have determined that your rental will be one of our beachfront ones, you can enjoy a beach day as much as you want. Our properties come with a selection of beach gear, umbrellas, chairs, coolers, and body boards, are some of the items you will find tucked away in closets or resting on shelves in the garage. Fill your cooler with sandwiches and beverages, no glass, please, and make your way to the beach for a day of fun and excitement. There are no rules on how you should spend these moments, other than the one that orders you to have the best time while here, and you can choose to spend your day soaking in the sun’s rays, walking along shore’s edge, or maybe even zipping across the waves with a jet ski rented from SPI Excursions!
Joyful Moments
No matter what is going on in your real life, it is impossible to feel anything but happy and joyful at the beach and our beach properties are designed to amp up your joy to new heights. Serene and filled with light, comfortable and filled with luxury, welcoming and wonderful, these spaces will become your favorite obsession. You’ll come to love a rainy day that encourages you to bring the good times home, playing board games as the rain falls, watching beach movies as the thunder roars, or sitting out on those balconies we already mentioned, watching the seas rage, the lightning light up the sky, and feeling the thunder boom in your heart. Who knew you could love a thunderstorm in Texas as much as you will while vacationing in South Padre Island? (We might have suspected it!)
Seafood Dinners
Yes, you have a fully equipped kitchen in your SPI Rentals beachfront sanctuary, but you will still want to explore the restaurants that make this part of the world a foodie paradise, especially our seafood restaurants. Serving seafood harvested from the waters that surround us, even people who normally don’t like fish will discover that they love it here! Stop by Dirty Al’s, a landmark restaurant that has been serving up seafood dishes Cajun style for almost 40 years, make reservations at Sea Ranch Restaurant, another classic establishment that has been our obsession for over 30 years, or order from the specials light up board at Blackbeard’s, open since 1978 and discover a menu that will haunt your dreams in all the best ways!
The Amenities of Your Summer Cottage
Our vacation homes will feel like home, offering all the ways to stay cool even as the mercury is rising. Air conditioning is the top summer amenity, of course, something we wouldn’t even consider offering a property without, but did you know that the ceiling fans in nearly every room can keep you even cooler? Moving the air that is already cool creates a kind of wind chill effect, one that isn’t so much different than what you may experience at home in the winter, except it’s a lot more comfortable inside our cottages. Some sanctuaries will offer private pools in the backyard, leading us to another life hack for staying cool in the summer, a nighttime swim before going to bed. Floating in cool waters, staring up at a sky lit up with the twinkling of a billion stars, will not just lower your blood pressure it will lower your core body temperature as well, ensuring that you sleep deep when you climb into bed after your swim.
Fireworks and Live Music at Clayton’s Beach Bar & Grill, 6900 Padre Boulevard, Saturdays & Sundays
Summer starts in April at Clayton’s Beach Bar & Grill and doesn’t end until Halloween with fireworks and music party happening every Friday & Saturday night. This is a reoccurring event that we try never to miss and as you sip margaritas on the beach and local musicians play their hearts out for your entertainment, the excitement will continue to build as the minutes tick away and the fireworks spectacular lights up the sky. This is a family-friendly event that epitomizes the carefree vibe of summer night at the beach and will be considered twice as much fun as the colorful explosions in the sky are reflected in the calm waters of the sea below!
Community Amenities in Our Condos
Some people may worry that they are missing out on something wonderful choosing a condo over a cottage, but we can assure you, the access to community amenities will ensure that you don’t miss out on anything at all. Community pools, community hot tubs, and sports courts are just the start of the summer amenities you will find in our condos, followed by barbecue areas, sports courts, and private access to the beach you will never want to leave. Your balcony views of sun, sand, and sea may also include views of the fireworks show we mentioned above, as some of our communities are located not far from Clayton’s Beach Bar & Grill!
