Wonderful house with lots of bedrooms, baths, a great room and a game room, space for everyone!

This great home was featured on HGTV's Island Life show! The 5 bedroom home has 4 full baths, is comfortable and spacious for all, and has beds for 16 guests! Perfect for multi-generation family vacations, or multiple families vacationing together. Enjoy the large sparkling private pool (heating is optional) with nice landscaping, covered back patio with lots of seating, large back upper level deck, and front balcony, all only 1/2 block from the beach. A short 2 to 3 minute walk. There is even handicapped beach access if needed for anyone who might need help getting to the beach! Check with the South Padre Fire Department about borrowing a wheelchair for the beach!

This two-level home is not only half a block from the Gulf of Mexico, but is also just a short walk from restaurants, a grocery store, shops, recreational outfitters and nice clubs. Only a few minute walk to the Wanna Wanna Beach Bar and Grill, Kelly's Irish Pub, Parrot Eyes Restaurant Bar and Water Sports, and Coral Reef Lounge.

Enter on the bottom level into a nice game room with a ping pong table, TV, DVD player and lots of movies. Watch the kids swimming in the pool from the large windows, or join them through the door leading from the game room to the backyard. The lower level has 3 bedrooms in total, two spacious bedrooms, one with two queen beds and the other with two sets of bunks, both rooms sleeping 4. These two rooms share a full Jack-n-Jill bath with bathtub and shower. The third bedroom on the lower level is a small bunk room that sleeps 2, perfect for kids or grandma. If your family includes a baby, there is a Graco pack-n-play in the downstairs closet that has the movies. The laundry room is downstairs too, with a new, large capacity size washer/dryer set. Find lots of beach towels, and extra bathroom towels and bed linens next to the second full bath on the lower level. Enjoy the new 8" rain shower head in the walk in shower that full bath!

The second floor has a spacious great room with two leather sofas, and a large sectional that provides seating for 12. Plus a large TV with cable and internet. The house also has free Wi-Fi for the guests to enjoy. The upstairs great room works well for entertaining large groups, and includes a dining room table that seats 8, as well as a kitchen counter bar that seats 4 more. Your family and guests will enjoy home cooked meals in the well appointed kitchen. There is a large pantry to store everything you need, and a dishwasher to clean up after the meals. The Chef in the family will enjoy the charcoal grill on the lower patio, while guests can sit right outside the great room on the large upper level deck that overlooks the pool.

The second floor also has a guest room with 1 queen size bed and 1 full size bed, sleeping 4, connected to a full guest bath with walk in shower, which has a new 8" rain shower head. The master bedroom is also on the second floor, having an on-suite full bath with tub/shower (with new 8" rain shower head!) and a queen bed with a foam mattress topper. A door leads from the master bedroom out to a private balcony on the front of the house. Enjoy your coffee or tea and watch the sun rise from your private balcony.

New AC units installed up and down in July 2019 keep the house cool. This house also has a one car garage to house your car and all the beach items. We provide a wagon, cooler, chairs , boards, beach towels and toys for the beach. There is parking for four to five more cars in the spacious paved driveway under the huge palm trees.

Come to South Padre Island for its beautiful beaches, friendly people, and wonderful family atmosphere. Spend the day on the sandy beach, enjoy a horse back ride on the beach, or spend time at the Schlitterbahn Beach Water Park just a few miles south of the house. The fishing on the bay is great too! Any time during the year is the right time to visit South Padre Island. Make this house your one-stop vacation home today! And you never know, you may just end up wanting to buy your own vacation home on South Padre Island like we did!

Great place Poor communication

Great place for our family of 11. Plenty of space for everyone. The house is in a great location. Close to the beach, restaurant's and shopping. As for the house itself, it could use a deep cleaning. A little freshening up. The pool heater didn't work for the entire two weeks we were there. They claim they were trying to get it fixed but I wonder. Lori's communication was poor at best. During our stay I once waited 5 days for a response questioning any update on the pool repair. The heated pool was one of the top reasons why we chose this place and any other place we stay the pool is a big thing to our family.

Wonderful location

The house had a wonderful location, the pool was amazing. You could tell no one had been there in quite a while, had issues with toilets flushing and it showed it needed some TLC but since it’s off season that was expected. Overall a nice spacious home!

Daughter's 21st Birthday

Arrived at 4:30. Check in was at 4:00. The pool guys were still there cleaning the pool. Their truck was in the middle of the driveway, so we couldn't park our vehicles until they finished and moved. One of the pool guys stated that we could not utilize the pool for two hours. That was a bummer. We were all planning to unpack, and hit the pool within about 30 min after arriving. Informed the host, Lori Wolfe on Sunday, and she explained that they were new guys. We specially chose this house because of the private pool in the back yard. Paid alot money for two days, and that was the only downfall. Maybe the host will compensate us with some type of refund due to this unfortunate incident. Nice beach, but we had our hearts set on swimming immediately in that amazing pool. .. The pool guy told me that we the d

Family Vacation at Casa del Lobo

Very impressed! House was amazing. Tons of room for all of us to sleep and/or just hang out. There were 13 of us ranging in age from 6-70, 3 families of 4 and me. The heated pool was a gigantic hit as it was a little chilly at the beach. Tons of beach and pool toys. The 2 wagons were very helpful transporting all of our chairs and things to the beach. The family LOVED the boogie boards!!! The ping pong table got lots of use as well. All in all, this was a fantastic home to stay at. Thank you for providing everything we needed. We had a wonderful time. I seriously cannot think of one thing I would complain about. We would absolutely stay here again!!!

Great Place to Stay

We stayed for 4 nights. It rained for 2 of the days. Kids had fun playing ping pong. It helped keep them entertained. We didn’t get to use the pool because of the rain and cooler weather. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked out great for our group of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids). Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Great Location

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The location is great with the beach only a half block away and a convenience store a block away. The house had plenty of room for our group of 9. We really appreciated the heated pool, having lots of towels, and all the beach supplies. The host was friendly and quick to respond.

Fantastic Island Escape

The house was as described in the listing. All the amenities that a large family or group would need. There was close access to the beach which we enjoyed. We all enjoyed the pool as well. The neighborhood was quiet as well. We will definitely look into this house again next time we stay on the island.

Large family approved!

We had a great stay! We had issues with appliances but made due! Lori handled it quickly and as best she could. The house is great size for a big family and thee are lots of bathrooms! Beach is so close and we enjoyed playing during the day and the beautiful sunsets in the evening. My niece wished there were lounge chairs by the pool . And my husband wished for a larger grill. But would definitely recommend the house to family and friends! South Padre Island is a great beach getaway!

Family Stay

Had a great time with several members of my family who had never visited SPI. Ad they were from the PNW, they were not used to the heat so the pool was a big hit. The house was well furnished and so comfortable although the 5th bedroom was a bit strange. I think the best compliment is that we would rent this property again.

They were blessed with being able to film an episode of HGTV's Island Life show while they were house hunting on South Padre Island! They currently live in Denton TX but spend as much time at the beach as they can, and hope to move down there full time at some point in the future! Doug is an Engineer and Lori is a Genetic Counselor with MotherToBaby at UNT. They have three wonderful kids who love the beach! Lori has years of property management experience to help your transaction go smoothly. Our on-site manager will make sure your stay is wonderful!
