About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The beach at your back door

Sip your morning coffee while you sit on your patio as you enjoy the beautiful sun rising over the ocean. Go for a walk on the beach just a few steps from your condo in La Internacional condos. Splash in the surf right outside I your door. Lounge on the beach with your favorite book, while you soak up the sunshine. Have your lunch right next door at the Wanna Wanna bar and grill. There are numerous delicious places for dinner that are walking distance, or prepare a meal in your fully equipped kitchen. Take a dip in the pool or hot tub, and relax with your favorite beverage while enjoying the sound of the waves. Sleep great in the brand new king sized bed, and do it all again tomorrow! The sleeper sofa has also got a brand new mattress. The condo has recently been freshly painted and decorated. There’s a beautiful brand new zero entry tile shower and bathroom. Welcome to your new favorite place!

Excellent location
Very nice condo! Excellent location steps from the beach! Will definitely stay here again for our next beach trip! Only a couple of suggestions: air filters need changed, provide more towels for showers and the cable box in the master bedroom did not work. Thanks for our stay we had a great vacation!

Peaceful Stay
This condo is right on the beach and walking distance to many restaurants and the wine bar. We had our dogs with us, so we really appreciated the first floor unit with a walk-out patio to a nice grassy area. The owners were super responsive during the booking process and when we ran into an issue during our stay. Perfect spot for an off-season anniversary weekend.

Location, location, location
When we beach vacation, our top priority is proximity to sand. As described, porch is just steps from boardwalk to beach. Unit was well stocked and just as pictured. Owners were responsive to our emails and willing to help with any of our requests. We'd stay again if we head back to South Padre.

Family beach vacation
Great spot to stay. Beach literally out the sliding glass door. There is a hose to rinse off with before coming back into the property. Bar with food and drink next door. Gas station is just a short walk away...perfect for late night snacks. Condo inferior looks a lot better than the online pictures. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful Location, Superb Suite
This property faces the surf, literally 30 steps or so from the beach entrance. There are numerous locations quite near for food. The owner was very responsive to my requests. Quick, helpful answers. The suite itself was clean and inviting. Quite cozy. There was ample utensils for cooking our own food. Plenty of towels throughout. We will definitely reserve this one again. Highly recommended!

Great vacation and location
This was a great location and on the beach access was amazing. Air conditioning in this condo worked amazingly! Bedroom was nice and comfortable. Getting in and out was a breeze. Overall i would rent again. But a few things that would be handy to keep in a closest. Umbrellas for the beach. The nice orange umbrellas they put out every morning are like $45 a day and they put them up way early. An ice chest to carry drinks out to the beach would be handy to have. Filding chairs to take out onto the beach and sit in the water would be nice so you dont have to purchase all these at walmart.. The couch bed is really not great. As a couch its perfect but as a bed not so much. Maybe in the future a higher quality more sturdy pull out option theres no way an adult could sleep on that. Overalls 5 🌟 would help

Great spot!
Cozy, clean and comfy condo perfect for the wife and I, and the location can't be beat! Great patio looking out on the beach and the Wanna Wanna right next door for meals and drinks. Close neighbors were not an issue but some of them really loaded up their patio spaces with a lot of junk (beach chairs, coolers, wagons, etc) and upstairs a lot of dragging of chairs could be annoying when we were enjoying some quiet time. Number one suggestion: it would be great to also have keyless entry on the sliding backdoor to the beach so we wouldn't have to go through the lobby wet and around to the front door after coming in from the water.

The beach is your back yard!
Great place to getaway to. The beach is literally about 50 paces from the condo. I so enjoyed drinking my coffee watching the sun rise or set in the distance. Everything was as described and better. The bed was very comfy and we had all the amenities of home. I'm ready to stay here again!

Perfect Place & Location
The condo was perfect for the 2 of us. We loved being able to enjoy coffee and evening drinks on the little patio. The ground floor location was just steps from the beach. We always visit Wanna Wanna so being next door was a bonus. The complex is older but very clean and well maintained. The unit has recent updates (listing photos are a good reflection of the reality) and is very comfortable.
