Perfect Family Getaway
Such a perfect home for a family (or two). We had plenty of room for 16 of us (7 adults and 9 kids) and didn’t lack for anything. The house was very clean, and we enjoyed every part of it. From the well equipped kitchen, to plenty of towels for all us, we didn’t need to purchase anything beyond a few extra garbage bags and toilet paper (which is expected with such a large group). There are plenty of places within walking distance to get anything you may be missing or forgot, and the beach couldn’t be any closer unless you were staying at a house on it. The only negative was the pool area being slippery with the tiles used near the house, but we put a towel or two down so the kids wouldn’t fall if they decided to walk on the tile dripping wet.

Room for all
We loved this house and it's location just a block from the beach. We walked to the beach everyday! The great thing about this house is all the areas you can gather. So a large family can have various activities going on at the same time. The large living room is open. Two dining areas inside and one outside. Living room on the main floor and a sitting area on the upper floor. Large balconies front and back. And the pool and pool deck. Amazing!

Family Staycation
Overall it was a very pleasant stay. The house was very clean and tidy. The owners were very responsive prior to the stay whenever we thought of any random questions. While we were there, we had a small issue with a shelf in the refrigerator that broke, but the company they hire to take care of the property was there in just 15 minutes. I do wish we had known that the refrigerator can take a while to cool but that caused no issues with our stay either. There are ALOT of light and fan switches in the house that probably could make maneuvering for guests a bit easier if all of them were labeled so it did become a little frustrating when you want to change something (lights or fans). The internet was frustrating especially since the television is with streaming services but that could be because of being on an island. Again overall it was a really nice stay. It was our first Vrbo so if anything going forward is this great we will be very happy vacationers! Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Family Christmas at SPI
Our Southern Destinations beach house was perfect for our family of 10 plus 2 dogs. The kids loved the pool, and it was great to have a 2 minute walk to the beach. The game room was great for the kids. Having a large driveway was perfect for 3 vehicles and a boat trailer. Great time!

About the host

Hosted by Gerald & Kathy Magee

Host profile image
We are both from northern Missouri. We had moved many times in our married life but all within the Midwest, working and raising our family. We both retired in 2007 after full career's and knew we wanted to move to a warm climate. The question was where. Over the next couple of years of traveling to several southern states we concluded that we wanted Texas to be our home. Neither of us had ever visited South Padre Island and our first thoughts were a lake home. We spent two different vacations touring Texas. As we traveled further south we finally ended up in the valley and stayed several nights on the island while traveling through the valley. By the time we had to go back to Missouri, we realized we had found the place we were looking for. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the fishing, the easy-going island life all was perfect for what we were looking.
Gerald and Kathy have owned a home on South Padre Island for over eight years. Gerald in the retail business for 40 years and Kathy in customer service the majority of her career, they know how valuable customer service and referrals are to make a business successful. It is our goal that we provide families and guests with the most relaxing and beautiful environment possible. We operate by the principle that vacation homeowners must create an island home setting that they would want to live in themselves and be proud to share it with family and friends.  If it is not good enough for family and friends, then it is not good enough to lease.  We would be proud for any of our friends or family to stay at either Destination Constellation, Southern Destination or Destination Coral Cove.
The decision to purchase Southern Destination came with great consideration for our visitors to SPI. We have worked diligently to provide a clean, safe, and colorful environment for your family and guests to enjoy.
We look forward to accommodating your needs.
Gerald and Kathy Magee

Why they chose this property

We converted our private home, Southern Destination, to a vacation rental because it is located on the same street as Destination Constellation, only two doors down. Constellation Drive is one of the nicest streets on the South Padre Island.  Constellation is approximately two miles from the Queen Isabella Causeway, far enough away from the heavier traffic during high season to remain a relatively calm neighborhood.  There are only about ten permanent residents on East Constellation Drive.  Many of the remaining units are vacation homes for the owners.  There are no multi-story condominium units on our street.  Southern Destination is conveniently located within walking distance to so many amenities.  Within minutes, guests can walk to the Wanna Wanna Bar, Palm’s Resort, Blackbeard’s Restaurant plus multiple other restaurants, golf cart rentals, post office, convenience stores.  There is a sunset view of the Laguna Madre and on many calm days and evenings, guests can hear the waves turning over on the beach and smell the sea mist from the Gulf waters.  Easy access to the beach was the number one priority.  At the end of East Constellation is Aquarius Circle Beach Access #18, only a couple minute walk from Southern Destination to paradise.  Yet when returning from that day on the beach or other activities, we believe that you have another unique taste of paradise around the pool and backyard of Southern Destination.
Southern Destination will feel like your home away from home for your family and guests. Whether playing with family in the waves at the beach or relaxing in the pool, the environment at your beach get-away will create beautiful memories.
