Hello! I'm Rosanna. I own and manage this condo and would love to host you! I grew up going to South Padre Island as a little girl and then continued the tradition with our 3 children. We eventually decided to buy a slice of South Padre heaven of our own in 2018. We have enjoyed sharing our love for the island so much that we have opened up 2 more condos to guests. We call ourselves Texas Vistas Vacation Rentals and hope to have you stay with us and decide which condo is your favorite :)!
Why they chose this property
South Padre Island is the most beautiful beach in Texas! Since traveling here as a little girl, the island has grown into a vacation destination for more than just locals. We are so proud of our island and hope to introduce more people to this quaint beach town.
