We enjoyed our stay in South Padre. We brought my family of 4, my sister's family of 4, as well as our parents. The house offered plenty of space for all of us. It was good because the private pool allowed by boys (ages 9 and 10) to swim downstairs, keeping them out of our hair!
There is a beach entrance very close by, an easy walk.
The only downsides I noticed:
- The home doesn't have a dishwasher.
- You do find yourself walking up and down stairs a lot. My dad, who is not strong on his feet, tripped on one of the top steps which were not equal lengths.
- Some of the buildout is a little janky. You can tell the home was rehabbed and parts are not very well done. For example, the downstairs path tub water spout rocks back and forth if touched, some lamp shades were broken, and some fans and lights are positioned awkwardly.
- The pool was a lot smaller than it appeared in the pictures.
Despite those downsides we still had a really great time!
