Aries Chateau

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The Aries Chateau, located only half a block from the beach, embodies everything you could want in a South Padre Island vacation rental. With a private pool in the enclosed back yard and a grill on the porch, enjoy a vacation in privacy and comfort.

Located on the north end of town, this home is an easy walk from the restaurants and shops that South Padre Island has to offer. Heading out the front door, the walk to the ocean is less than a quarter mile. Decorated in an elegant and up-to-date fashion, the chateau welcomes guests who appreciate the finer things in life. The open living spaces encourage socialization and camaraderie, while allowing for individual simultaneous uses of the space. Sofas and chairs set up around a little table are overlooked by a flatscreen TV, complete with a DVD player. If none of the titles in the included DVD library appeal, flip through the cable channels for your favorite show. If you want to make sure you're not missing out on any news, use the wireless Internet to keep abreast of happenings in the wider world. If you're not in the mood to try one of the delicious local restaurants, the stocked kitchen offers an easy and appealing alternative to going out. Take advantage of the coffee maker and blender so everyone can enjoy their favorite beverage. With the dishwasher, you won't have to worry about quarrels over the dishes.

The dining table seats six and is right next to the kitchen for convenience. If you'd rather, dine outside for fresh air and proximity to the grill. On the main floor of the house, two well-appointed bedrooms feature lovely dark wood furniture and a calmingly neutral color scheme. Both the king bed in the master bedroom and the queen in the second bedroom face flatscreen TVs, and the master bedroom has its own private balcony. Upstairs in the open loft are two more beds, so a total of 10 guests can enjoy the home as long as six don't mind a slumber-party atmosphere. In keeping with that theme, there's a fourth TV in the corner of the loft. Two bathrooms mean that shower time can be a more leisurely affair, and with a washer and dryer you can feel free to pack light.

If you can tear yourself away from your private paradise, there are plentiful entertainment options to explore. Seafarers can choose between scuba diving and surfing, or push their comfort zones a bit and try out parasailing. For land-based fun, Clayton's Beach Bar & Grill offers regular Sandcastle Days with live music, workshops, and an Amateur Sand Sculpture Contest. Local restaurants, in addition to their amazing seafood, regularly feature live music. Whatever your interest area, you'll be glad you picked this charming Texas chateau for an exciting beach trip!

Would not recommend

No hot water in the house, the pool water was cloudy and unsafe, bedroom doors stuck open, decks around outside are wobbly, siding falling off the house. The gas line on the grill too short to use, had to prop tank up on a cooler. The house is poorly maintained and musty smelling throughout. Should not be offered to public until rennovations are made.

Had a great time. Great location. If it had a washer & dryer we could not find it. We thought it might be in the garage but our code didnt work for the garage. We didnt need it bad enough for us to ask.

Stairs not up to code

The place was very nice and so was the private pool. The only issues was that the fridge was not working properly, so we had to put our fridge items in the freezer section. I did notify management but nothing was done about it. Another issue was the stairs, I did read other reviews about the stairs but oh my goodness you did feel the wood very wobbly when walking up the stairs. As a homeowner I know this is not safe and up to code. Hopefully this issue would be fixed so we can stay here again.

End of Summer Vacay

Enjoyed being at close proximity to the beach access and gas station. The entry to the beach house was tight along the side of the house and a few stairs to climb up. Just a heads up, in case you need to carry up ice chest and luggage. We had an issue with the dryer that is located in the garage, but Vacasa squared it away by having a technician come out within a day. The pool was nice and warm. It's a cozy spot overall!

Location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Just a block from the beach was perfect! The backyard with pool was great. The pool isn’t heated so was a little too cool for me but it was perfect to sit by the pool enjoying the sun! Backyard was also great for our dog. We had planned on another couple joining us for part of the time but didn’t work out so had way more beds than we needed but we really enjoyed having all the space of the house! I would recommend the Aires Chateau!

The outside of the home needs a bit of TLC but a lot of homes in the area are in the same condition. The inside was very nice and the beds were super comfy!

Home on Aries

We loved the home!! it was clean and very relaxing to stay there. It was very close to beach. We all slept well because the beds were comfortable. Loved the loft. It was so spacious. Our son enjoyed spending the night in big room. We enjoyed sitting by pool at night. It was very relaxing. The view from masterbed room was great. The two dogs next door were great. No barking at night. The only problem we had was not being able open garage to wash clothes. Someone came and opened right away. No soap was left for dishwasher so we could not wash dishes. We washed many by hand. Dont mind. i recommend this cozy house for a great vacation!!

Pool was not available to use

Checking in was fast and easy. When we arrived a staff member from property management informed us the pool had ussues and we could not use it that night. We had an evening planned around the pool and had to make alternate plans. So the next day we thought we would be able to use it but the chemicals were too strong to enjoy the pool again. My family and I were very disappointed, especially my grandson. There were also issues with the doorknob to the main restroom locking you in. Not a good sound if using the bathroom at night, giggling the doirknob. The stove and microwave had dried food stains that weren't cleaned properly. I've asked for a discount due to the issues but its only been 24 hours. I would not recommend this house.

Roaches & Trip Hazards

I am extremely disappointed in our stay during the 4th of July. We experienced roaches, loose shower doors, deck boards that caused my kids to trip up & down the steps, bedroom doors that would close and were jammed. This is coupled with maggots in the trash cans and exterior doors that do not lock correctly. For the amount of money I paid, I am extremely disappointed and hope VACASA will step up. We spent our holiday vacation in a underwhelming home that I am surprised VACASA would allow to be listed.

Don’t waste your money.

Very disappointed in the condition of the property. House is run down, needs maintenance, doors don’t close, locks didn’t work. Property management doesn’t answer their phone. What is pictured and what you see when you get there are two different things.
