⚠️ Important Payment Notice – Klarna / Affirm

Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals). Many virtual one-time card providers only authorize a single transaction, which causes the payment to fail. For this reason, we recommend that guests do not book using Klarna, Affirm, or similar services. If a reservation is attempted using one of these payment methods and the payment declines, the guest will be required to provide an alternative form of payment or cancel the reservation.

Beautiful views, immaculate stay and 10/10 experience

The property was everything we had hoped it would be - just as described. Beautiful views of ocean. Fabulous pool area to lounge after a day exploring the island. We had 8 family members with plenty of room to spread out. Loved the fact it was immaculate upon check in with no issues. Management team was always helpful and courteous any time we had a question leading up to check in . Would love to return next year! 10/10 in every aspect!

Beautiful home in beautiful location! We went for my 40th birthday, my husband and 4 kids (2,7,11 & 12) The check in and booking process is A LOT! Never had to submit so many documents and even go to SPI office in person before getting escorted to the property to get a key. There is quite a bit of stairs if you are in the master getting down to the pool level it’s about 6 sets. Not great for older people or young. Very limited cooking supplies, The pool didn’t really get warm enough to swim in until the last day. Would be nice if they made a private walkway to beach..Other than that it was very quiet and luxurious.

Thank you for your feedback, Amanda! We’re so glad you chose to celebrate your 40th birthday with us and that you enjoyed the beautiful home and peaceful, luxurious setting. We appreciate your comments regarding the check-in process. The in-person check-in and escort to the property are required by the HOA to ensure security and proper access, though we understand it can feel more involved than a typical stay. We also appreciate your notes on the stairs, cooking supplies, and pool temperature, as well as your suggestion regarding beach access. Feedback like this is very helpful as we continue to improve the guest experience. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere overall and hope you and your family made some special memories during your time on South Padre Island. Best regards, Ashleigh – General Manager
