About this property

Stylish Top Floor for Beach Fun and or SpaceX Enthusiast Starship Launches

Welcome to this stylish top floor condo at the prestigious La Isla Residences. Your 2BR, 2BA professionally designed and decorated vaulted ceiling condo has everything you need for a stellar beach getaway, as well as THE closest condo development with unobstructed views of launches (when scheduled) of the worlds largest space booster, SpaceX's Super Heavy/Starship from the comfort of your top floor balcony. Enjoy stunning Gulf and Bay views and the excitement of space exploration in one beautiful condo! If you'd rather experience a launch among the crowds gathered at the South Padre Isla Blanca Jetties it's only ~1/4 mile walk down the beach. If the heat of the day dictates, enjoy from the comfort of your air-conditioned condo and step out on the balcony minutes before T-0 to enjoy the spectacle of launch of the largest space launch booster ever built.

As a guest of the exclusive La Isla resort community you'll have access to a wealth of amenities. Lounge by one of two sparkling heated pools (seasonal), one optimized for family fun with the little ones. Relax in the hot tub, cookout on one of several grills under shade verandas, or workout in the gym. Take a stroll along the pristine beach less than a five minute walk away, take a short walk with the family to the water park at the Beach Park at Isla Blanca, or take a 4 min stroll to the marina just across Padre Blvd and charter a deep sea fishing boat, dolphin watching cruise, or party cruise to make your day. Enjoy expansive beach relaxing, access to beach amenities, pickup volleyball, and multiple food and adult beverage options on the nearby beach. The choices are endless, and all within walking distance! Park your car and walk 4 min to the SPI Visitors Center to catch a free shuttle all day and evening up and down the island.

Everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided in this well appointed and stylish condo. WiFi provides the opportunity for big screen viewing of your favorite streaming apps, or a SpaceX launch countdown feed as you gaze at the spectacle of humankind's greatest adventure beyond Earth to the Moon, Mars, and beyond from your bay window or balcony.

The kitchen has a large island for your gang to socialize as you prepare meals to fuel your many waiting adventures. Everything you need to prepare and serve meals is at your fingertips. A brand new HVAC unit ensures you will be comfortable whatever time of year you visit. Two parking spaces are provided behind gated security.

good location and upscale condo

really enjoyed our stay. The one problem was lack of communication with owner and Vrbo. Had trouble checking in with code for door. Vrbo should have a contact number on invoice if you have a problem and owner should be available at check in time. The location is great and plenty of things to do. They have two pools one is heated and pools and grounds are well kept and maintained.

Great Location

The condo complex was clean and it was nice to have two assigned parking spaces. The beach, restaurants and stores were walkable. The condo is beautiful and well furnished with everything you need in the kitchen. You may want to bring a Roku if you want to use the second TV. The AC and wifi worked great.

Excellent in nearly every way!

My dad and I came here to watch the Starship launch and found the place to be exceptional. The only complaint I have is that the check-in process was a little confusing. We had to contact the owner to get inside since the emails and texts were a little cryptic.Our place had one full bed and two kid's beds, both of which were comfortable. Fridge, dishwasher, and laundry suite all suitable for our needs. Entertainment center was appreciated! One of the pools was heated at a constant 85 degrees which made it the best pool I've ever had the privilege to swim in. Hot tubs were pleasantly warm but not as hot as normal hot tubs, and didn't smell very chlorinated which was a plus.Place shows its age on the outside but it's nothing crucial to comfort or safety.Overall a 10/10, quite frankly the best place I've been to on a vacation.

Great SpaceX and beach adjacent location

Although not exactly a "luxury" property, this condo has many nice features. The balcony offers a place to enjoy sun, view the SpaceX facilities off on the horizon and glimpse the gulf and bay. While not on the beach, there is a 10 minute walk using the back gate and heading down the road, through parking lots to the beach access next to the Seaside Bar & Grill. The two pools on-site are nice. The visitor center is walking distance with information on the free shuttles. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again.
