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

South Texas in the Winter? on the Beach!

Spend the cold winter months at South Padre Island Texas in your own rented condo unit. South Texas climate is comfortable winter or summer. The Dolphin Condo unit is equipped with an outside balcony with each private bedroom. Each of the two bedrooms has a queen-sized bed and private bath along with a closet. Between the two bedrooms is a "loft" area which contains two twin beds. All these are upstairs.

Downstairs the kitchen is fully furnished with a dining table which seats six and two chairs at the kitchen bar. There is a 1/2 bath downstairs along with washer/dryer.

Backyard commons area to the Dolphin Condo complex has swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Two designated parking areas per unit are afforded. Grocery store and Island Clinic 1/2-1 block away. The beach of South Padre, which is the most beautiful beach in Texas, and what SPI is noted for, is directly across Gulf Blvd. from the Dolphin Condo complex.

Other activities available are: para-sailing, sail-boarding, dolphin watching, the south Texas version of the nationally famous Schlitterbahn Water Park, and beautifully designed and challenging South Padre Island Golf Club. A short drive nearby lands one at the 45,000 acre Laguna National Wildlife Refuge for birdwatching and animal observance. Matamoros, Mexico is only a short 35 minutes away for shopping, sightseeing, and also medicine purchases.

**Please NOTE. Dolphin Condo associational rules absolutely prevent renting to Spring Break participants, i.e. students unless there is parental accompaniment with the students.**

Beach access was right across the street. Very handy and easy to get to. The place was very clean and the pool, hot tub and grounds were very well maintained. Close to the grocery store too. The only thing was the couch and chairs are old, dirty, worn and outdated. I would suggest putting in recliners and maybe a loveseat. Loved our stay there and hope to return again next year.

Everything in the condo worked as expected. Nice quiet location yet close to everything. Dennis was a particularly accommodating host and was easily available to help with our questions. He made an extra effort to let us know as soon as our condo was cleaned so we could get in earlier than expected.

Perfect location: grocery store, beach, restaurants and shopping all within walking distance!! This townhouse is huge and very well stocked. Pool area is nice with plenty of loungers. Lots of bang for your buck here! Way more than I expected for the price. Beautifully decorated with nice, comfy furniture. Definitely will look into staying here next time we’re near SPI.

Dennis was very easy to work with and very friendly. The location is great with a short walk to the beach. Sand toys and a surf board are in the condo which made for fun times building sand castles and playing in the water. Thanks for a pleasant stay.

Great place

Hadn't received our text to get into our condo prior to our arrival. I just simply called Dennis and he sent the proper materials I needed to enter. We did find clothing in drawers and the closets which somewhat concerned us. After our stay I did notify Dennis and tell him. The condo was very clean and was supplied with everything you possibly could need. Enjoyed our stay.
