Clean and tidy property. The hosts make for a comfortable stay. Vacations are for relaxation. My stay was certainly relaxing.

Peaceful Paradise
This is my second time to stay at The Hideaway. If you want a beautiful, peaceful paradise, this is the perfect place. The garden is the perfect place to relax.
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.
This place is a diamond in the ruff! From booking the trip until the moment we left the property, our hosts were truly amazing! The property is like a secret garden and off the busy beaten path. From the tranquility of the birds in the morning to the beautiful sunsets just a few steps down the road we could not have asked for a better place to stay! We were sad to leave butblook forward to the next stay at Jibberville. I promise you will not be disappointed!! What a great find💕 Thank younLaura and Jibber! Sending some of Wisconsin your way😉 Watch the mail!
Loved the location! After arriving, we parked our rental car, and walked everywhere (my legs are telling me about it now, LOL). The house was as described, plenty of room for the two of us, and clean. The owner stopped to visit a time or two, and provided some asked for info about local places to eat. The weather didn't really cooperate, but, not much any of us can do about that! If we make it back that way, will definitely check to see if this is available. I did wish for a pencil or pen in the house, as I would have written in the guest book if there had been!
My son and I stayed here for a short father/son trip. Jibber the owner is easy to deal with, accommodating and very knowledgeable of the area so good for local recommendations.
The property is pretty unique with a nice common garden area. Plants are abundant and the bird feeders attract a lot of birds. The space itself consists of a small room with a twin bed, living/dining/kitchen area with a fold out couch and a large bathroom area.
The kitchen has most everything you need if you want to prepare meals in house. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella etc. are provided.
This is not the place for you if you are looking for luxury but it you are looking for a comfortable and quiet stay conveniently located, keep this one in mind.

You get what you pay for... We woke up Christmas morning to NO ELECTRICITY and 55 degrees! Took almost 2 hours to get things back up because the electric breaker panel is located in another unit! No apology, no offer partial refund for the inconvenience. Very small unit with odd layout - bathroom is opposite end from bedroom. Says has WiFi, but only in the middle of the night. Only one electric outlet in whole unit capable of taking laptop's 3-prong plug. Also, the cable was fuzzy and static the whole time. Finally, there is no privacy in this unit; too many windows with inadequate covering. It's adequate lodging if you have dogs, but not very comfortable.
My husband and I stayed a month in this apartment. The hosts were very kind, helpful and very responsive. The space was perfect. Fully equipped kitchen and comfy space. Highly recommend!
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
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.
