South Texas in the Winter? on the Beach!
Spend the cold winter months at South Padre Island Texas in your own rented condo unit. South Texas climate is comfortable winter or summer. The Dolphin Condo unit is equipped with an outside balcony with each private bedroom. Each of the two bedrooms has a queen-sized bed and private bath along with a closet. Between the two bedrooms is a "loft" area which contains two twin beds. All these are upstairs.
Downstairs the kitchen is fully furnished with a dining table which seats six and two chairs at the kitchen bar. There is a 1/2 bath downstairs along with washer/dryer.
Backyard commons area to the Dolphin Condo complex has swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Two designated parking areas per unit are afforded. Grocery store and Island Clinic 1/2-1 block away. The beach of South Padre, which is the most beautiful beach in Texas, and what SPI is noted for, is directly across Gulf Blvd. from the Dolphin Condo complex.
Other activities available are: para-sailing, sail-boarding, dolphin watching, the south Texas version of the nationally famous Schlitterbahn Water Park, and beautifully designed and challenging South Padre Island Golf Club. A short drive nearby lands one at the 45,000 acre Laguna National Wildlife Refuge for birdwatching and animal observance. Matamoros, Mexico is only a short 35 minutes away for shopping, sightseeing, and also medicine purchases.
**Please NOTE. Dolphin Condo associational rules absolutely prevent renting to Spring Break participants, i.e. students unless there is parental accompaniment with the students.**

Very nice condo in very good condition and location. Close to restaurants and marina to access fishing guides. Laguna Madre fishing trip was great, surprising number of redfish, great water conditions. Will be back...
Everything in the condo worked as expected. Nice quiet location yet close to everything. Dennis was a particularly accommodating host and was easily available to help with our questions. He made an extra effort to let us know as soon as our condo was cleaned so we could get in earlier than expected.
Perfect location: grocery store, beach, restaurants and shopping all within walking distance!! This townhouse is huge and very well stocked. Pool area is nice with plenty of loungers. Lots of bang for your buck here! Way more than I expected for the price. Beautifully decorated with nice, comfy furniture. Definitely will look into staying here next time we’re near SPI.
Property was great and clean. Close to beach, grocery store and restaurants.

I loved everything from the beginning to the end. The owner communicated professionally, the unit was clean and we had everything we needed. When we return, we will choose this property and we have already shared the word. This was an amazing Anniversary trip that was well needed. Thank you for everything.
Perfect place to stay for family of 6, ages 60-20. Walkable to beach, grocery store, and many bars and restaurants. Everyone could do what they wanted!
Pics didn't show much, but condo is clean, well stocked, just across the street from the beach access and so comfortable. Enjoyed our week there and highly recommend!
Property was as listed. Across the street from beach access, on the same road as the small grocery store, and in a great location. Property was clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend!
The condo was located across from the beach access and only 1 block from the grocery store! Pool and hot tub were just out the back door and down the sidewalk! Great location and a great price. We would stay at this condo again!
Very clean thanks to Jenny. Older unit, older furniture. No hair dryer. Beach towels and chairs would have been nice. A shelf of some sort in the showers would be helpful. Stairs are dangerous. Only one tv in one bedroom, and no remote so it did not work.It was a decent place, but nothing fancy. I appreciate a clean unit and it was! We enjoyed our stay.Parking can be a challenge because spots are not large enough for big trucks. Our neighbors regularly parked over the line into our spot.
Dennis was very easy to work with and very friendly. The location is great with a short walk to the beach. Sand toys and a surf board are in the condo which made for fun times building sand castles and playing in the water.
Thanks for a pleasant stay.
Checking in had a little confusion but within 30 minutes the owner Dennis and wonderful housekeeper Virginia had everything under control. Overall my sister and I had a wonderful and much needed vacation. Thank you
We will look forward to coming back
Hadn't received our text to get into our condo prior to our arrival. I just simply called Dennis and he sent the proper materials I needed to enter. We did find clothing in drawers and the closets which somewhat concerned us. After our stay I did notify Dennis and tell him. The condo was very clean and was supplied with everything you possibly could need. Enjoyed our stay.
