Beach getaway

Enjoyed escaping stormy weather in North TX for some beach time. There was a continuous breeze which made it pleasant. We enjoyed our beach walks and bird watching time. Our dog enjoyed catching his frisbee in the surf. There was some seaweed and a few jellyfish to watch for.. the condo was clean and has a marvelous view.

Nice beach trip

The check in process was easy, as was parking. There are two elevators to make it simple to get to the condo. We were on the beach in no time with the beach access. We did not use the pool or hot tub. The condo could use some paint/updating, but we had everything we needed and were comfortable.

Everything Was Perfect

This was our second time staying here and it won't be our last. We didn't spend a lot of time inside since the weather was perfect but having our morning coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise was the perfect way to start each day. The owner is friendly and responsive and provided us with everything we needed to make it feel like home. We have already booked our return trip in the fall.

Amazing Again

Another vacation has come and gone and yet again everything was perfect. The high tides put a bit of a damper on us spending much time on the beach but we found plenty of other activities to make this trip a memorable one. Probably the most fun we had on the trip was a new business called Sand Monsters on the north end of the island. We got to drive ATVs out in the dunes and even on a race track. It was so much fun we did it twice. Now is the hard part of waiting the 6 months till we return.

Wonderful location!

The property had everything we needed, large balcony overlooking the gulf, it’s not fancy but again, we were fine with that. My only recommendation to the owner would be to maybe get some better sheets for the bed, but we had plenty of towels, the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of kitchenware. Carol was responsive right away when we had a question about the Wi-Fi. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful ocean view and balcony, but rundown condo

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the ocean. The view of the ocean and the balcony were wonderful! However, it is hard to give the condo a high rating due to the following:*bad communication with host, I would text and either waited quite awhile for an answer or no answer at all*condo is old, run down and cleanliness is not one of its assets. Several items come to mind - the toaster and toaster oven - were disgusting. The blinds were a mess and/or missing. Lounge chairs were broken. Floor boards beat up and dirty.*we were to check in after 3pm, but we arrived in South Padre about 5:30pm, went up to the condo and it still was not cleaned and had to wait another 15 min before they were doneWe love the beach and that part of our trip was wonderful!

Awesome stay!!

Once the storms (which we heard were very unusual) passed, the weather and the water were amazing! As someone who usually enjoys the ocean from the beach, I spent a good bit of the week in the water! That’s saying something about how clear, warm and wonderful the water was! The condo was great and you can’t beat the beachfront location. Our favorite restaurant was Parrot Eyes. We had shrimp and the best quesadilla I’ve ever had! Carol was great to work with! Her airport tips made it possible for us to come. We’ll be back!!

Great property and management. Only a couple issues 1) ac went down for over 24 hrs but I didn't realize it was an issue until next morning and it was completely repaired late afternoon early evening. 2) elevators went down a couple of times for about 1/2 day but there was always at least one working for me. Amenities more than makeup for any small inconveniences like sand on furniture and in bed, cracked lounge chairs, uncomfortable sofa beds: Bed was very comfortable, plenty of clean white bedding and towels of good quality even in kitchen, all basics needed for ice, dishes, appliances even cleaning supplies. awesome huge private furnished balcony with a couple tables with cute solar lamps, several chairs and perfect ocean view. Even on 9th floor, the elevator is quick and rarely had much of wait if any. Carol was amazing at responding promptly during stay. I even chose to stay an extra night. Parking garage was very convenient and even when I left and came back, I always had same spot available. There is convenient public beach access with bathrooms right nxt to bldg apart from condo access and it was never full or busy. Never made it to see pools or hut tub. I wish I had taken pics, it was nice stay and felt clean upon walking in!!

We had an amazing stay at this Inverness condo in South Padre Island—easily a five-star experience from start to finish.The location is unbeatable—right on the beach, with direct access just steps from the building. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise from the private balcony was a daily highlight. The views were absolutely stunning.The condo itself was clean, well-stocked, and exactly as described. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided, from a full kitchen to beach essentials. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked great (a must for South Texas), and the Wi-Fi was reliable.The building was quiet and felt secure, and the rooftop pool and hot tub were a great bonus with ocean views. Parking was easy, and check-in/check-out was smooth and hassle-free.We really appreciated how close the unit was to everything—restaurants, shops, and activities were all within a short drive or walk.If you're looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway in South Padre, this place checks all the boxes. I will definitely be on the lookout for this rental next year!

Perfect beach vacation!

We love this condo - this was our second year staying here. The view of the ocean, access to the beach, proximity to the bird & turtle sanctuary, all incredible benefits. The parking garage with guaranteed parking makes travel to multiple restaurants easy. The tidy in-house kitchen and near-by Blue Marlin market make eating in a delightful option. Thank you again to our very helpful host! We will likely return again next year.

2025 Vacay

Really enjoyed our stay. Kitchen and bathroom were stocked well and the bed was comfortable. The listing needs to be updated as it still talked about Covid restrictions. The dryer on our floor has been out of order since last summer so had to travel to other floors to do the laundry. Some floors don’t even have a washer or dryer. The hot tub on the north side wasn’t very warm and the picture on the listing is not accurate. But all in all was a good vacay. We would consider staying there again.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Bolstad

Host profile image
We live on South Padre Island full time enjoying the surf and kite boarding. When w4e started coming to SPI, we have lived in this condo in the winter and added the little things that make it more comfortable like a place to hang your keys when you come in the door and extra hooks in the bathroom for wet swim suits. All the paintings have beach themes to add to the island feel too. We live two block away from the condo now so can respond quickly if you need anything during your stay. We can often be seen kiteboarding in front of the condo after work.

Why they chose this property

South Padre Island has the island feel yet is convenient to get to. Its as far south as you can get in the west. It has the largest balconies on the island. All of them look directly at the water. You can play directly out from your condo and if you drop a penny over the balcony, it will land in the beach sand!

What makes this property unique

The sunrises and sunsets from the 9th floor are amazing. Being slightly higher and look down, you can see the dolphin in the water that you can't see from the lower floors.
