We enjoyed our spring break here with two teenage boys. We had great communication with Ed before arrival and while onsite. The unit is right on the beach with easy access and is at the end of the beach (right before Isla Blanca Park) so there was not a big crowd at the beach. There were plenty of beach chairs and accessories in the owners closet. The pool and hot tub were clean, providing a great break from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent stay in South Padre

I stayed here with my family for 6 days over the 4yh of July weekend. The property was amazing and my kids really enjoyed the pool, and how easy it was to get to the beach. The kitchen was the MOST well stocked kitchen I've ever had while travelling. It was a great little place

About the host

Hosted by Ed and Betty DeShields

Host profile image
Ed and Betty DeShields and their daughter Bess have been visiting South Padre Island for many years. We live in Dallas, Texas but love the island for all the memories it has made in our family.

Why they chose this property

We've stayed in many properties throughout the years but Sea Vista is simply one of the finest properties on the island. Sea Vista is owned by private owners so your stay is usually quiet and free from the masses that do not crowd our private beach. Management is attentive to your every need and all you have to do is ask if you need something.

What makes this property unique

22 steps to the beach and directly on the ground floor. No elevators, corridors or lengthy walks will keep you from the beach. You will literally walk onto your lawn and patio directly from the beach. Gorgeously decorated and fully appointed with a full kitchen and bedding that ensure you will have a restful stay. Sea Vista is closest to the action, yet super-quiet without the crowds. Schlitterbaun water park is within walking distance as is two private tennis courts and pools. Maximum occupancy 8 persons, 2 automobiles.
