Great Location

This place was walking distance to so many places. Great communication from owner. I would suggest bringing your own beach gear as the body boards are for kids and chairs are older but still worked out well for us! We would stay again.

Beautiful yard!

We loved the property! In particular the beautifully landscaped yard! I loved listening to the geckos chirp and the wind whispering through the palm leaves. See if you can spot the anole chameleons and brown tree lizards. Beat the heck out of a sterile hotel room. Kiskadee flycatchers and hummingbirds too.

Anniversary stay

We had the best time! We enjoyed the quaint, clean and cute apartment! Our host was lovely and we will definitely be staying there again. We loved the landscaping and the full kitchen even though we didn’t use much of it! It was nice to make a full pot of coffee in the morning and the table and chairs outside so we could enjoy the view. I was a bit leery as we usually stay in a hotel but after reading the reviews, I knew it was the place to stay and I’m so glad we did! My husband kept commenting on how cute the place was.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Jibber Terheggen

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

The quiet tropical garden, outside BBQ. Walking distance to grocery store, entertainment district, and restaurants. The Gulf side is a short walk to the beach.
