Enjoy the best the South Padre Island (SPI) area has to offer from this quiet and secure waterfront respite. This bungalow's backyard is the Laguna Madre. From our cozy serene home and dock, you can enjoy countless hours daydreaming or reading as you look out at the expansive lagoon, or do some bird watching, paddle boarding, kayaking, or fishing! From your water nest, you will be a short 15 minutes from SPI beaches, but far enough to get away from the crowds after a long day in the sun.
This is NOT the place to throw loud parties as it isn't allowed and there is a security guard on site and will be immediate grounds to terminate your stay.
This beach-themed bungalow is located in a quiet, secure gated community. You can count on access to to the community pool, hot tub, and Gazebo located at the end of a dock where you can take selfies or pictures of glorious sunsets and sunrises and the South Padre Island skyline. The bungalow counts with a two-car driveway and private backyard with a BBQ grill, and outdoor seating. The living area has a comfortable couch where you can watch your favorite show or movie on a 60" TV.
You will also have access to a picnic area under a beautiful lagoon-side pergola, a basketball court, and children's playground. If you're an avid runner, you can log miles in various directions just outside the property gate.
Guests are encouraged to bring kayaks, paddle boards, floating devices and fishing gear as well as water shoes and/or waterproof fishing gear (if you don't want to get wet). Some information on the Laguna Madre: The Laguna Madre is a long, shallow, hypersaline lagoon along the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of seven major estuaries along the Gulf Coast of Texas. The roughly 20-mile (32 km) long Saltillo Flats land bridge divides it into Upper and Lower lagoons joined by the Intracoastal Waterway, which has been dredged through the lagoon. Cumulatively, Laguna Madre is approximately 130 miles (209 km) long, the length of Padre Island in the US.
Guests can access the entire home, driveway, and community areas including the basketball court, picnic area, playground, pool, hot tub, and gazebo. In addition, guests can borrow our kayaks for an additional fee. Guests are free to fish (with a valid Texas fishing license) from our back yard (in high tide), the gazebo, or you can literally walk over two football fields (and then some) out into the lagoon.
If you want to spend a day or evening in the big city, you are about 30 minutes from Brownsville and the border with Mexico.
We will be available virtually (via phone, text) to you for questions or issues that may arise.

Interested in getting in touch with nature?
