Welcome to Practical Harbor by the Beach #3
This comfortable-yet-basic condo is walkable to oh so much - and puts you
close to everything South Padre Island has to offer. If location is your
priority, this is a great fit. You’re less than 100 yards from the beach and
within a 5-minute stroll of restaurants, bars, shops, and family-friendly
attractions—while still being a very budget-friendly SPI rental.
The Space
* 2nd -floor condo (no stairs) in a small 4-unit building that will require the use of stairs
* Quiet, small backyard pool shared only with the other 3 condos
* Clean, simple interior with all-tile floors and high ceilings
* Eat-in kitchen counter plus a cozy corner-bench dining area, perfect for family meals or board games
The condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. We allow up to 8 guests,
including babies and toddlers, though the sleeping setup works best when some
guests are children.
* Master bedroom: King bed with private en suite bathroom
* Guest bedroom: Full-over-full bunk bed with twin trundle underneath
Living room: Standard couch (not a sleeper sofa) + queen airbed provided
(please bring extra bedding if you plan to use the airbed)
Kitchen & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen includes pots, pans, utensils, and dinnerware so
you can cook at home and save a bit during your stay. You’ll also have an in-
unit washer and dryer, which is especially convenient for families and longer
trips. This property does not have a dishwasher unfortunately
BBQ grills are welcome to bring—just please grill in front of the building,
not near the pool area, as that space is shared by all guests. The 2nd floor
condos here we like a tad more as there is a small patio off the master where
you can enjoy a drink or view the pool
We provide:
* Fresh towels and bed linens
* A starter supply of soaps and trash bags (not unlimited or resupplied)
* Coffee, filters, creamer, sweetener, tea, non-stick cooking spray, and salt/pepper (also not unlimited or restocked during your stay)
* For stays longer than 3 nights, you’re welcome to exchange towels and linens for free at our office: South Padre Trips, 2600 Padre Blvd and the Office open 7 days a week, and we answer phones 24/7—a rare perk with local hosts.
