The rental was everything we had hoped for. Spotlessly clean, roomy, ocean view, less than a hundred yards to the beach, nice beds, upper and lower decks and centrally located. Would certainly return.

My Daughter’s Birthday Weekend
The house was great. Very spacious and easy access to the beach. Loved the fact that we could just walk across the street and enter the beach. Didn’t have to drive anywhere. Was a short but fun birthday weekend for my daughter. Will definitely be booking them again.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Mark

Host profile image
I have been singing on the Island for 23 years. We bought this property as an investment and have had such a great time meeting the guests that come to stay at The Starfish Beach House. Year after year we get the same people that stay with us at this rental and they have all become part of one big family. We have seen kids grow up, get married and now bring their children to the beach to experience the same great time they had as children at The Starfish Beach House. It has been such a pleasure to get to know everyone!

Why they chose this property

South Padre Island has a little bit of everything for all to enjoy. This little slice of heaven at the tropical tip of Texas is so peaceful and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

You can just sit on the balcony and look out at the Gulf of Mexico and relax - take a walk or run on the beach or wait for the nightlife and enjoy dinner and dancing at one of our hot spots on the Island. There is always something to do or if you wish, nothing to do, but enjoy the beautiful waters of South Padre Island!
