Beautiful house and area. Was as the pictures show. Close walk to the beach. The Kayaks and bay were a lot of fun. Worked great for our family. There were a few things to note: the large bed was extremely loud with the slightest move because the headboard hit the wall (it was hard to sleep when it was so loud), the dryer would not shut without slamming and adjusting a piece several times, the wagon's wheel was rusted off (not a big deal, we just bought one to take home) and the hot tub had a lot of sand in it when we arrived.

We loved this property! The dock outside was perfect for our kids and jet skis. The kitchen was appointed well enough. I was a little uneasy about the 12-13 year old boys sleeping in the bunk room downstairs, as it’s completely separated from the main house, but they did ok.

Personally wouldn’t recommend

Several issues with this place: first of all it ended up being not enough space for us because one of the “rooms” was on the lower level that was attached to the garage. This so called room had no windows and it smelled moldy and wet. It was scary even for an adult, with exposed pipes and drains and I think it flooded before because the garage door was caved in and one of the bathrooms was down there that had an artificial flower covered in mold. The fan in that bathroom didn’t work which isn’t helpful for the mold. Needless to say nobody wanted to sleep down there. The upstairs had a masters bedroom with a broken queen size bed that was the worst to having to sleep in. The mattress was caving in and the bedframe made a lot of noise just by turning in the bed. We had to rearrange the sleeping situation because of it. In addition the sheets didn’t fit and kept coming off the mattress with every turn which is super gross thinking how many other people sleep in that bed. It was also really disappointing to see that someone else had mentioned the bed issue in their review and clearly nothing was done about it. The other review also mentioned that the jacuzzi had lots of sand in it just two days before we arrived and the same sand was still in the jacuzzi. Jaccuzi was not maintained at all with rust, sand etc. They have a really old water cooler with only empty water jugs so useless, trashcan was broken so you had to open the lid by hand and it was placed the middle of the room.

Awesome

This place was amazing. We are long time visitors to SPI, and this by far the best rental. Plenty to do- kayaking, fishing and hot tub. Unlike a hotel room, you can still continue to enjoy the evening with all kinds of activities without leaving the premises. Highly recommended.

We loved this property. The decor is cute and the deck and lower level kitchen space was awesome. Our son caught a lot of little fish of the pier. Owner was very responsive and went out of her way to return items we left! The location was perfect, easy walk to the beach and a lovely bay view.

Best place to stay on the entire island!

We take a trip every year to the island and the Blue Dahlia is the absolute best place to stay. The property is gorgeous, super clean, and has everything you need. We loved everything from fishing off the dock and grilling out. To just relaxing and watching calmness of the bay. Hats off to the owner for making this stay so amazing!! If were going to South Padre Island this will always be my favorite place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Host profile image
The property has been a dream come true for our family. As kids we spent many days on the island creating lasting memories. Now as grown adults we would like to do the same with our children & grandchildren. We would also like for our guests to build the best memories at The Blue Dahlia Townhome. The townhouse is named after our mother who passed in the summer of 2016. We are committed to reflecting the love and comfort our mother was to us, in the Blue Dahlia. Enjoy your time as family, or as friends, and make the memories that will stay with you in the years to come.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of a kind. It is very difficult to find a property on the island where you can dock your boat or jet ski's, with your own private backyard. No worries or concerns as to where you will park your trailer either as there is ample parking. The views from the upper deck are expansive and peaceful and below you can read a good book lying on the hammock. This property is a perfect family getaway, girls getaway or for a men's weekend fishing trip. We wanted somewhere close to the fun of the beach but also a place to rest after a long day. It is not just a beach house - it is a home away from home. We love it and we hope you do as well.

What makes this property unique

Location......Location...... Location! This property is located "on the fingers" as known on the island with the locals. The Blue Dahlia is on a quiet street and is very unique to the island. Our private backyard allows us to relax in the hammocks and read a book or take a nap. With direct access to the water off our back dock, it is easy to bring a paddle board or use one of the kayaks we provide and start paddling! The calm waters of the bay allow you to take a break from the waves of the beach and enjoy some water sports. We also have fun watching the pelicans and the water birds catch their daily meals. The pelicans can put on quite a show as they dive bomb for their catch, and the great blue heron that fishes from our dock is a treat for the early risers. From time to time you will be treated to the dolphins that come by to catch a meal - and if you're really lucky - the manatees that are occasionally spotted in the calm waters of the bay. You cannot beat the early morning and late night fishing without leaving the property. And we can see the fireworks right from our dock! Either way, there is something for everyone. It is the perfect beach house.
