This older island home features a nice large front deck which allows for perfect viewing of the weekend fireworks and people watching! House is located near attractions like; the historic Louie's Backyard, Coconuts bar and grill, Dairy Queen, Gravity Park, Pizza Hut and more! We're in the center of all the fun and engaging activities during your stay. The island cottage is an OLDER unit which means it will not have all the amenities of a modern condo. What the Cottage lacks in amenities, it makes up for in charm and simplicity. Again, this was an older island home as such there may have some quirks and unpolished aesthetics. If you're looking for a simple place to relax, detach and have as your home base for experiencing the fun activities on the island, then this is a great property for your next Island adventure! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask before booking. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117230000/117223100/117223059/38b4553e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Condo Near the Beach South Padre Island - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=117223059&PinnedHotelID=117223059&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20970000/20962800/20962797/f298d4e8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Awesome Ocean views- Beachfront!

My family of 4 was very comfortable. It was a 1 bedroom but we had plenty of room. There was plenty of restaurants and family entertainment within walking distance. We drove to the beach only because of the amount of things we took. Only recommendation I would make would be slightly better toilet paper, I bought my own, and more towels for bathing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/000029b0-2965-49fa-bf27-e49065928b95-1754096767703.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RUTH R.

We didn't get to see fireworks because it was off season, but I am sure that deck was the place to be. Cindy was easy to communicate with and very helpful.
