I’m sorry but as of 4-1-2019 VRBO decided to charge only the 6% state portion of the 17% hotel tax and is omitting charge of the other 11%.

I WILL HAVE TO AMEND PAYMENT AND ADD THE REMAINING 11% HOTEL TAX. You will see it as “maintenance fee” bc tax is not an option under rigid template.

Rental of 2-stories has max. 13 persons & 3 stories has max. 18 persons. NO SPRING BREAKERS...only families during spring break.

Perfect Location

Beautiful property directly on the beach. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out with 3 living areas. The YouTube TV was also a huge plus for this sports loving family. All rooms very clean and comfortable. Would have liked better cookware and serving dishes but otherwise kitchen was great. Would definitely stay here again.

The home was beautiful! Our group was 11 adults. I wanted something with rooms that would accommodate our children add their other halves. This place did exactly that. Everyone had their own bathroom and at least a queen size bed. The sunrise views were amazing. I liked having our own pool and being just steps from the beach. The property was clean and had all basic supplies. The large ice maker was a plus. One thing to note is it didn't have beach towels so make sure to pack some. I would highly recommend renting this property and hope to visit again.

Nice place.

It was a beautiful place. The 2nd floor dryer didn’t work well. It took 3 cycles per load to dry, and the loads were only half size. It heated well, but the blower must not be working properly. We had a bunch of cardboard on one side of the driveway until our 5th day. We shouldn’t have had to drive around it. Also, there was some gunk in the kitchen sink behind the scrubbing dish. The location was perfect however.

About the host

Hosted by Tricia Smith

Presently, I'm a LCSW & a psychiatric APRN but when we purchased Casa Familiar, I was a stay-at-home mom of 9 children, 2 with special needs and foster children. Managing a rental business was a great way to stay at home and work. Technology has made working from anyplace possible.

Why they chose this property

During Thanksgiving week, 1999, my husband & I loaded up our Suburban with our kids and drove for the first time to a beach directly straight south of Kansas City...arriving in South Padre Island 17 hrs. later. After vacationing in Marco Island, FL, the previous year, we found that SPI was much more family friendly. We all fell in love with it. We were able to find a rundown townhouse, which sat directly on the beach and had been on the market for over a yr. so got a great price, renovated it, & named it Casa Familiar. Since then, we've been renting to some wonderful families for as many as 20 years and others who have stayed several times.
Now that our children are getting married and having children, we've expanded by adding a 3rd floor

What makes this property unique

There's nothing like real beachfront living...unfortunately, many property owners claim beachfront but are located across the street or even blocks away. The end of the patio is the seawall & the boardwalk takes you to the beach. You can prepare lunch in the kitchen while watching the kids play on the beach and be within shouting distance when they need to come in.
