Wake up each morning to white sand, pristine dunes, and warm Gulf waves when you escape to this two-bedroom South Padre Island vacation rental, a well-appointed beachfront condo with a shared outdoor swimming pool and garden. You can bring the whole family! Whether you're a surfer, a sunbather, or a kiteboarder-in-training, this quaint condo is a wonderful destination for small families in search of sun, sand, and serene relaxation. Take an afternoon nap in the warmth of the sunshine, browse the wireless Internet, or catch your favorite show on the flatscreen cable TV. Pull up a seat to the bar counter to help with the cooking, or relax with a newspaper and a cup of coffee at the small indoor dining table for two. But as the sun comes up each morning, step outside on the private balcony to gaze east across the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy an al fresco breakfast at the patio table for four, or watch the kids play on the grassy lawn below. And you'll return home to find a beautifully landscaped terrace, a refreshing outdoor pool, and a communal picnic area with a charcoal grill.

Ideally located in the charming La Playa condo complex of 20 beachfront condos, this bright and comfortable home is mere steps from the Gulf of Mexico. It's also an easy walk or a free shuttle ride to local restaurants, shopping, bars and nightclubs, and recreational outfitters. Thanks to the island's year-round warm weather, it's never a bad day to borrow a boogie board from the HOA and spend the day splashing in the turquoise Gulf waves. Spend the day on an eco-tour, gazing at the local dolphins, or charter a fishing boat to search for plentiful red snapper, grouper, and kingfish. You'll also be just two miles north of Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark, where you'll find 13 indoor and outdoor waterslides on 25 acres of beachfront property.

Great condo close to the beach

We have stayed in this unit in La Playa on South Padre island several times. It is always comfortable, clean and a great spot for our family to stay. We will definitely be back and try to stay here in the future.

Nice Condo On The Beach

It was convenient to the beach, good working AC, plenty of cookware. That beds were comfortable and the place was clean for a beach condo. There weren’t any spices, coffee or oils needed for cooking that other renters leave behind as a courtesy for the next visitors. Also, we were not aware that there are tar patties and tar balls all over the beach. Our feet were stained with tar. Also our sandals and beachwear were totally trashed. It would have been nice to be informed by possibly Vacasa or even the Internet or local news about the tar patties on the beach.

Great Location, Positives Stop There

This is the 2nd time I have stayed in this property over 2 years, and was disappointed to see that there were no improvements made over that year. The bath leaks when you shower, some dishes/cups are chipped, the beds and bedding are VERY uncomfortable and the air conditioning doesn't blow into one of the bedrooms well at all. My biggest complaint was that there was human blood on the roll of toilet paper, we discarded that roll and messaged the property manager for a replacement, to which we were told no. They leave 2 rolls initially (for a 4 night stay) and it is our responsibility to replenish. Even after texting back and forth for several hours, they still did not believe it was their responsibility to replace, so I had to go to the grocery store and purchase toilet paper on my own (in addition to facial tissue, which was also not provided). I will NOT be staying here again.

Review

Upon checking in we advised Vacasa that the round coffee table in front of the couch was missing the glass top. We noted that this had been reported in prior reviews back in November. No action was taken after our initial report so we contacted Vacasa two more times. Still no action , so I had to get angry when contacting them again. They showed up that evening around 5pm, unannounced , with a rectangular piece of pane glass while we were visiting our friends by the pool. It would have been a safety hazard to place this rectangular piece of glass on the round table. How hard would it have been to order the correct piece of glass for this table back in November, or go to a second hand shop and buy a coffee table? Very disappointed with Vacasa. Suggest the owner of this condo find someone other than Vacasa to manage their property.

Look Elsewhere

The furniture and property was quite dated. We also noticed roaches within the condo itself. Our attempts to address this with the property management company vacasa and come to an agreeable solution were unsatisfactory. Would not book anything with Vacasa again or recommend this property. You should look up vacasa reviews through the better business bereau, they are terrible.

Not what the listing showed..

The location was great and the view perfect.. the unit was worn out and dirty, the stove wasn't working, the fridge wouldn't stay closed and was rusty, the furniture was dirty and the shower leaked all over the floor every time it was used. A dog had chewed the inside of the entry door.. the sliding door screen was rusted, punched out and had a string for a handle.

Our stay at La Playa #209 was extremely fun! The location, and the beach are just beautiful!!! The property could use a little updating. The sliding glass door is a beast and extremely hard to open and close,and decking needs replacing. We would definitely stay there again. Staircase area could use a good cleaning as well.
