⚠️ Important Payment Notice – Klarna / Affirm
Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals). Many virtual one-time card providers only authorize a single transaction, which causes the payment to fail. For this reason, we recommend that guests do not book using Klarna, Affirm, or similar services. If a reservation is attempted using one of these payment methods and the payment declines, the guest will be required to provide an alternative form of payment or cancel the reservation.

Great Vacation
SPI Rentals scores again. Great house, plenty of space for a larger family. It is an older beach house with some age showing but still a good place to stay. Would definitely stay here again. SPI Rentals was on top of the only issue we had, their customer service is the best I've experienced on the island.

Excellent house!
This house had almost everything you would want! It was steps away from a beach access, but not on the busy road. Having a personal and private pool was outstanding. The house was well equipped and very spacious, plenty of room for 8 people. Would definitely recommend this house!

Overall awesome experience only that the third floor of the room is a little bit warmer but other than that nothing location everything will tell her friendsThank you.
My family had a great time; however, DO NOT Recommend this house if you have children or are elderly. The stairs are super slippery and dangerous. I fell twice. The house was freezing, and we all got sick. I was not able to control the temperature. The beds are semi-comfortable, and the blankets they provide are super thin and cheap. The kitchen stove was not working correctly. The house is so close to the beach. It was our first time visiting South Padre, and it was beautiful. I hope my review helps people out of state.

Average
The house is in an excellent location, but we did find a couple of things wrong that needs to be addressed to get a better rating. First of all, the refrigerator, basically needs a new one, ice maker didn't work, shelves are broken, duct tape holding on the front of ice dispenser. Only other issue is that the back door lock doesn't work properly. But other than those 2 issues, the ac works great, easy check in, and close to everything. Would possible rent again if the issues are fixed.

Good, but lots of things need work
The house was good overall, except there were several things messed up that lowered our rating. For example, the guest shower door came off when you used it, there was a giant cockroach in the baking pan upon opening the cabinet, a shelf had to be taken out of the refrigerator door to get the refrigerator to latch closed, the “queen” beds were smaller than a typical queen size, and a lot of lightbulbs were out around the house. The heat in the pool wasn't working upon arrival, but after contacting maintenance, they came out right away and were able to get it working.
No beach view but only a couple minute walk. Pool very clean and warm. House clean. Easy check in and check out. Walkable to a couple restaurants. Parking is more for only two vehicles. Watch the steps upstairs. Two of us fell. No major injuries tho. Hous is definately worth renting. Would rent again

Excellent Location, Exactly As Described
This was our first family vacation with our children as adults with significant others and our first time on the island and this house was exactly what we needed! Everyone had their own space, the pool was wonderful, location to the beach, grocery, gas and liquor stores was ideal! We would definitely stay here again!!

Five Wonderful Years with SPI Rentals
This was our second year in this home, and our 5th year on the island. We have truly enjoyed working with SPI Rentals. Service is always prompt and staff so very courteous. This year Joey, from maintenance, came promptly to fix the start button on the washing machine. He was so wonderful by staying and taking time to show this 67 year old how to look for live stations on the tv. Even though this tv didn't have the spectrum app, he showed me how to find all the amazing shows available.
We will always go through SPI Rentals for our renting needs. Thanks for another great January and February! See you next year!

Very nice property
This property was great, it had almost everything that we needed.The pool was great and it was a bonus that it was able to be heated.The only complaint that I have was that the bed in the master bedroom was quite uncomfortable, it dipped really bad in the middle and it creaked really loud. Other than that, our stay was great!

Great service with SPI Rentals
Top notch customer service from SPI rentals. They were quick to help me resolve any and all issues with my most recent rental. They were so helpful and would definitely recommend renting directly with them when visiting South Padre. I look forward to booking my next rental.

We had trouble with the refrigerator at first but it got better on the second day. Also the trash outside was full from the previous visitors and we had to call to get someone to come out and take some trash out so we can keep filling it. Overall great stay!
