Bayfront House on South Padre Island
South Padre Island, Texas

3 Bedrooms/2.5 baths-sleeps 7. Central air. This waterfront vacation house is on a point out into the Laguna Madre with outstanding views of the bay, while it is away from the tourist crowds. Beach access is a short walk away. A two-slip dock allows for boat tie-ups, along with great fishing day or night. Crabbing is also available. All rooms in the house are large and airy, and completely furnished. There are separate dining and breakfast areas with a fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a second bedroom also has a king size bed and a day bed, while there are twin beds in the third bedroom. Linens are included. A washer, dryer and commercial ice maker are available. Memorable sunsets and water sports galore. Amidst the tranquil oasis of the northern end of South Padre Island, Texas, (sometimes refered to as SPI) you can enjoy fiery sunsets over Laguna Madre from the balcony of this waterfront vacation home. During the day, from that same balcony you can watch people enjoying wind surfing, kite boarding and parasailing, or riding jet skis and banana boats. If you wish, you can rent them all close by. In the bay, there is outstanding fishing from the dock, your own boat or with a guide. On Friday nights during the summer there are spectacular fireworks displays with an unimpeded view right out front of the house or sitting on the balcony. Just imagine how relaxing it will be to sit and enjoy all the water activities going right by your own yard and dock as well as watching the abundance of nature flying, floating and swimming past the front. Birding and nature at it's best Watching the birds such as the pelicans that perch on the channel marker right out front is something many people will enjoy. The island is home to many migrating birds. There are also nature trails to follow and see more varieties of birds while on you visit to the island. The Rio Grande Valley has become a birding "destination" with hundreds of species not seen anywhere else in the United States. A new birding center is in the planning here along with a lot more trails--this is being built near the convention center.
