About the host
Hosted by Paul Jibber Terheggen
Moved here from Oregon 50 years ago, love the beach, windsurfing, SUP's and kayaking. As a personal host and meeting guest from all over the country is quite rewarding. Families are on vacation and want to know all to do on South Padre Island.
Why they chose this property
We're located on the bayside of the island with a short walk to the Laguna Madre.
Easy access to the bay with views of the sunset. Quiet, away from all the traffic on the island. Very tropical garden for relaxing at Happy Hour.
