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!

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!

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.

Had a good time!
The home was nice and cozy. Me and my family enjoyed it! Loved that it was so close to the corner store and beach. We also enjoyed the pool. It could of been a little more cleaner but it didn’t bother us. Would definitely book again 👍

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.

DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE!!!
House is old and in dire need of upgrades and basic repairs. Do not fall for the nice pictures shown in the listing. What they don't show you is the dirty old pool, the grease stained cool deck by the pool, the scratched walls, the broken lampshades, the unkept lawn and neglected landscaping, the wobbly and dangerous wooden stairwells, the busted old stove, the lack of chairs to sit outside!!!! There was four old plastic Adirondack chairs that were so hot and very uncomfortable. They don't show you the tiny metal rusty table that fits service for two if your lucky. They leave out the busted poolside umbrella that falls with the slightest of breezes. Stay somewhere else. PLEASE. My family spent well over 3K to stay here. We are not wealthy so we watch our vacation dollars. After i expressed my disappointment, nobody lifted a finger to make our vacation better. They did send 2 men to mow the lawn with loud mowers, weedeaters and blower to add that special touch of loud noise for an hour that everyone on vacation so much desires!!!
