With an ideal location - walking distance from the beach, shops, restaurants, bars, and other attractions - you’re perfectly situated to get out and explore, but with a space so lovely, you may spend most of your time at home. Start the day in your private, enclosed backyard with a cup of coffee and a dip in the sparkling pool, followed up by a sunning session in one of the poolside chaises.
Inside, the open layout combines the kitchen, dining area, and living room, making the space perfect for entertaining and gathering as a group. The chef will love the gleaming kitchen, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all the gadget's they'll need to whip up a feast. Dine together at the large table, or grab a seat at the window-front bistro table for a casual snack. After breakfast, head for the beach. Just minutes away, you can easily run home for a snack or mid-day nap. When you return, rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the gas grill, and lounge by the pool. If you're spending the night in, relax in the central AC and stream the latest release together. No problem if you can’t agree on a program - each bedroom features a TV as well. More perks of this lovely home include free WiFi, cable and a washer/dryer. With such a modern, luxurious interior, private pool, and an unbeatable location, the only thing missing from this perfect picture is you!

Very good

We really enjoyed our stay! The only downside was that the pool was extremely warm and that the kitchen could use some more dishes: coffee cups/large bowl to prepare salad. Would definitely stay again though:)

Vacation in style
Great modern beach house, close to beach access. Tvs in every room. Comfortable beds. Awesome kitchen with appliances and even a coffee maker.
Very nice clean property, conveniently located to everything on the island. Checking in and out was extremely easy and communication was quick, clear and thorough. Be aware the property is a duplex but pool is private and layout prevented any noise through the walls. WiFi was good, TVs and appliances, hot water all worked great. The basics are there for cooking but bring all your own basic spices, foil etc. There are plenty of great restaurants very close.

Good location
Location and size of unit were both great. Heat went out during a cold spell and it took multiple calls/text and an extended amount of time to correct. Home needs a deep clean and general maintenance

Home was beautifully decorated and very modern. Although it’s a duplex it’s designed to where the common walls do not share sound from neighbors. As others have said there is no extras like washing machine soap or a dishwasher but they did supply paper towels and plenty of paper goods. The backyard was a little unkept and bird feathers in the pool. Inside was extremely clean and nice large screen tv. AC ran nice and cool. Walk to beach and easy access to main streets.

Nice home but had some lacking to it.
As others has stated.... Bring everything with you. Just in case. The kitchen has bare minimum so be aware. Beds are comfortable. House was good looking. Need some more love in the cleaning dept. WiFi for us didn't work due to hurricane not the property. Ac was awesome!! Bring blankets. Pool was fun 😊 obviously would be great bigger but that's pretty consistent on SPI. All in enjoyed it.

We appreciate our guests' preferences as a means to improve and we have forwarded your comments along to our property management to consider in the future. We hope to host you again soon!
The house location was great. The house was good we had some issues. One of the toilets was plugged on arrival. Called the 800 number and they were there that same day. Messaged about some other issues and didn’t get responses until 2 days later. Patio door still does not slide had to go around the outside to get to the pool. When looking back at reviews it was already an issue back in July 2023. Fix the minor things before the become big things. No knob on washing machine.

Beautiful Condo and Great Location, But Unresolved Maintenance Issues and Customer Service Unhelpful
We recently stayed at the Dolphin House condo in South Padre Island and had mixed feelings about our experience. The exterior and interior is stunning. The interior was very clean and well decorated. It was clear that attention had been given to guest comfort, and we truly appreciated the aesthetic and layout of the space.
The location was also a highlight. The home is within walking distance to Beach Access #9, which was very convenient for us. Just a note to future guests: parking at this beach access point is limited, so walking is definitely the better option.
That said, there were some issues that unfortunately affected our stay. When we arrived, the pool was not usable.
It had visible algae and the pump was not functioning. It wasn’t serviced until the next day, and while it was, the strong chemical smell made us uneasy about letting our one-year-old swim. Some guest tried to get in but it was uncomfortable. Additionally, the fire alarms in the home went off repeatedly on both Friday and Saturday. The noise was distressing for our child, and at one point, in the middle of cooking Sunday breakfast, leave the property.
We also reached out to customer service regarding these issues and requested a credit for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the response was dismissive and unhelpful, which added to our frustration.
With better attention to property maintenance and guest support, this could have been a much more enjoyable stay and easily a five star experience.

Hi, Elida. Thank you for your kind words about the Dolphin House condo’s stunning design, cleanliness, and convenient location near Beach Access #9. We’re glad you enjoyed these aspects of your stay. However, we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the pool, including the algae, pump failure, and the strong chemical smell after servicing. We also regret the repeated fire alarm activations and the distress they caused. Please know that the pool has since been thoroughly serviced and cleaned to ensure it meets our standards. We’re sorry that our customer service did not meet your expectations during your stay. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to improving both our guest support and property maintenance to provide a better experience for all our guests. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

This property is very nice we enjoyed the pool a lot the first 3 days of our stay. Over all the house was clean. We love the location walking distance from stores. We had a hard time opening the door when we arrived the code they provide did not work, I had to call the Vacasa thankfully they where able to help us. On our third day of our stay we had some new people on the next door unit A they started parking on our drive way also they where very loud stay up with the music until 3 in the morning by the pool. That really left a bad taste. We call the local property manager twice never got a answer.
The property was wonderful! Would stay again. Beautiful facility and location to beach.
Everything new and clean. Wish it had a dishwasher but the private pool and washer/dryer were great.
