The condo had great views of the gulf & plenty of room for all 5 of us (kids 16,14, 11). The complex is extremely clean and very convenient location wise on the island.

About the host
Hosted by Chris Metcalf
Chris and Lori are from the Midwest with 2 adult children. We love spending time on South Padre Island and enjoying the ocean breezes and beautiful beach access out the front door. One of our favorite things to do is watch the sun rise from our balcony while sipping some home brewed coffee.
Why they chose this property
We've owned other property on SPI and find Suntide II to have it all. Great views of the beach & Ocean from the balcony, high ceilings, fully remodeled inside and convenient location to groceries, bars and restaurants.
