Group-friendly retreat with private deck - 3-minute walk to beach

Marlin Street Townhome A

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You’re just a three-minute walk from the beach and newly built boardwalk at this 2BR/2BA duplex on South Padre Island. With an open design and light-filled rooms, it’s a great option for groups seeking a home base near the gulf.

Easily cook and chat with your travel companions in the open kitchen, boasting a large island for prepping dinner. Outdoors, a private deck offers a relaxing spot to chat, read a book, or listen to music in the sun. The rental can sleep up to six guests, with two full-size futons in the spacious living room and two queen beds in each bedroom. Looking for extra space? You can rent this property along with its adjoining duplex to accommodate a group of 12 total.

Cool tile floors, coastal artwork, and tons of natural light bring an easy-breezy feel to this rental. In the evenings, kick back in front of the 55” wall-mounted TV in the living area, which also has a pair of futons with full-size mattresses—perfect if you need extra sleeping space.

The open kitchen features a full suite of appliances and a large island with seating for four. When it’s time to eat, serve meals at a wooden dining table set for four. After dinner, head outside to enjoy the fresh air on your large, private deck. Bright and cheery tones feature in the two bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, a ceiling fan, and a mirrored closet. These rooms each have their own bath with a tub/shower combination. Other perks at this rental include complimentary Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a washer/dryer.

When you feel like a day beside the gulf, it’s just a three-minute walk to the waves and the nearest sun-drenched strip of beach. Drive five minutes to rent kayaks, jet skis and arrange kiteboarding lessons with Air Padre Kiteboarding. For more ocean adventures, stroll two minutes to Ultimate Fishing Guides. Or hire bikes at Wheels on Padre - only a five-minute walk from home.

Favorite Place on the Island

My wife, daughter and I have stayed in several rentals on the island and this is our favorite. We had plenty of room to relax, dine and hang out. The stocked kitchen made meals easy and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and soaps. Beds were comfortable and wife loved the extra blankets. Ample parking, cool balcony and the ability to wash the sand out of our clothes before returning home were all huge plusses. Plan to rent again.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our over all experience with this rental was very good. The unit is older and a bit run down. There were a few cockroaches but it wasn't too bad. We had an internet problem but management was very good to us and worked very hard to get it up and working. I was super impressed with how nice they were and concerned we were having a good trip.

There are better places

On our checking day, we arrived at about 5:30 pm and noticed after unloading our groceries that the fridge wasn’t cooling. We were told this is typical and to wait 24 hours for it be fully cooled. That’s bologna - we have another property where the fridge is cold within 2 hours, no way it should take a day. Also, this place need to be sprayed for roaches. As for being pet friendly, the yard is full of stickers and there is no enclosure to make it easier for the animals. There is also no security light outside which makes putting the door code in difficult without using your phone as a flashlight. Garage was also promoted, however it does not open and it too small for most vehicles. There are better places to stay for sure.

Enjoyable stay, no hassles, no drama

This pet friendly home was the right space for my family of 4. Its convenient location is just 100' from either of two boardwalk entrances to the beach. A garden hose out front allows you to spray off sand before coming inside. Deep driveway and garage access that could have accomodated 3 or 4 cars. Quiet, separate rooms with Queen beds. Enough dishes and cookware to make a Thanksgiving meal (we did).

Cute place, close to beach access.

A cute condo very close to beach access #5 & 6. Centrally located to provide great access to most of the Island. We used a golf cart for easy entry and exit, as the parking area is right on Gulf Blvd. Obviously pet friendly and could use some updating. The furniture is well used and does not match the pictures. The AC could not keep up, so the temperature inside got pretty warm during the day and freezing at night. The garage door wouldn't open, it appears to be off the track. All in all, a cute place for a short stay with pets.

Clean and comfortable!

Received a text the morning before check in advising we could check in at noon instead of 3pm which was awesome in and of itself. Then we get there and it was extremely clean and comfortable. We took off to the beach and it was literally 3 minutes away. Just cross the street and you're there, literally. Perfect place!

Save your money, ***read ALL reviews***.

The cockroach problem is an ongoing since mid 2019 and doesn't seem to be a priority to fix. I had manage issues EVERY day with this place. Was I acknowledged? Yes with an apology every single time for the daily new find of cockroaches, the DirectTV that wasn't working (we aren't big TV people so that wasn't critical), about all the paper products that weren't available, including trash bags, not to mention a shower curtain that I was afraid will fall off the wall. My small compensation wasn't enough to replace all the time that I spent dealing with these problems on my vacation. ***
