NEW! 2BR Half Block to Beach, Garage, Heated Pool

About 100 steps to the beach — no busy streets to cross! Surfside I 209 puts

your family half a block from the sand, with a seasonally heated pool and

outdoor hot tub waiting back at the condo. Sleep up to 7 with a king bedroom,

queen bedroom and sleeper sofa, plus your own garage for beach chairs, wagons

and even a golf cart.



One dog is welcome, too. A clean, comfortable South Padre beach getaway

without the beachfront price tag. <br>
Five Reasons to Book Surfside 209



1. About 100 steps to the beach

Half a block to the beach access with no busy street to cross. That's

especially nice with kids, chairs, coolers and all the stuff that comes with a

beach day.



2. Your own small garage for beach gear

Leave the chairs, wagon, toys, coolers or golf cart downstairs instead of

hauling everything up to the condo. It's a little thing that makes beach days

a lot easier.



3. Two bedrooms + room for up to 7

A king bedroom, queen bedroom and sleeper sofa make this a great fit for

families. The condo isn't a brand-new remodel and some of the décor is a

little dated, but it's clean, comfortable and priced affordably



4. Bring your dog One dog is welcome for a $75 pet fee, so you don't have to

leave your four-legged family member at home.



5. Heated pool + outdoor hot tub

The pool is seasonally heated November 1 through April 1, and the outdoor hot

tub is available year-round. Your private patio overlooks the courtyard and

hot tub, and Kelly's Irish Pub is just half a block away.



THE SPACE



Surfside I unit 209 works the way a well-used beach condo should — practical,

organized, and genuinely clean. As you walk in, the guest bedroom opens

immediately to the right, and the space flows from there into an open-concept

kitchen, dining area, and living room all connected in one uninterrupted

layout.



The kitchen is larger than the average off-beach condo, fully stocked with all

the pots, pans, dishes, and appliances needed for real home-cooked meals.

Stainless appliances and granite countertops give it a functional, well-kept

feel. A full bathroom with a tub-and-shower combo sits just off the kitchen,

adjacent to the guest bedroom.



The living room is set up for exactly what beach evenings call for — a Smart

TV ready for streaming, comfortable seating, and a layout that flows easily

out to the private patio through the back. The master bedroom is off the

living room, with its own flat-screen TV and a view out to the courtyard,

separated from the main living space so the adults have a door to close when

the kids settle in for the night.



The patio itself is spacious enough to earn a dedicated morning coffee routine

— the heated jacuzzi and courtyard sit right in front of it, and the Gulf

breeze comes through whenever the doors are open.



Worth saying plainly: this unit is not a fresh remodel, and some of the decor

carries a bit of age and we do not want to disappoint. We are up front about

that because we think you should know before you book rather than after you

arrive.



What you get is a clean, fully functional condo that has been cared for and

represents real value for a family near the beach stay. If an updated interior

is important to your trip, this may not be the right fit — and we say that

openly so everyone has a good experience.



The unit is on the second floor. There is no elevator, which means stairs are

required to reach it. The upside: second-floor units see less foot traffic and

noise than ground-floor units. The downside: you are carrying bags up one

flight. If mobility is a concern for any member of your group, please reach

out. This property does have community use, coin operated washer & dryers off

the pool area. We do not monitor nor maintain this equipment, please note it

is HOA provided.



SLEEPING (Up to 7 Guests)



Master bedroom: king bed with plush bedding.



Guest bedroom: queen bed.



Living room: a sleeper sofa that folds to a full-sized bed. A full-sized

sleeper airbed with pump is also provided as a backup option.



Fresh linens and bedding are provided for all permanent beds — the king and

the queen. If you plan to use the sleeper sofa or the airbed, please bring

your bedding.



Maximum occupancy is 7 guests. Infants and toddlers count in that number, no

exceptions. While we allow up to 7, please understand the bedding is truly not

adequate for that many and just want to set appropriate expectations.



LOCATION



The walkable options from Surfside I unit 209 are what turn a good condo

location into a great one. Half a block in one direction gets you to the sand.

Half a block in the other puts you at Kelly's Irish Pub — an SPI staple

serving Reubens, nachos, and wings with darts, a pool table, a full bar, and a

kitchen that stays open late.



For a group that wants a casual place to end the evening without a drive, it

is hard to beat having it a literal half block away.



Captain's Cove fine dining at 2.5 blocks sits on the channel waterfront and is

one of the better upscale dinner options on the island. Island Market grocery

is 3 blocks for any forgotten supplies without an inconvenient trip. Isla Bali

at 4 blocks is a solid breakfast stop. For live music, the Cigar Bar is about

4 blocks; for karaoke, Coral Reef is the same distance.



Walk north along the beach and you hit Bar Louie, Clayton's Beach Bar, and

Barry's Beach Bar in succession — the kind of walkable beach bar crawl that

ends up being a trip highlight nobody planned for.



PARKING



One dedicated off-street parking space is included at no charge — free, unlike

hotels on South Padre Island that all charge per car. The garage is only

available for beach gear storage and golf cart parking, but it cannot be used

for regular vehicle parking. If your group is arriving with more than one

vehicle, reach out before arrival and we can point you toward additional

parking options nearby.



Please note we have multiple units here at Surfside I and can rent you more

than one. Inquire — we would love to help you out!



High-speed WiFi is included throughout the condo; please note that Spectrum

service can be spotty at times so come prepared with a hot spot on your phone

if you have must do work as it can go down. We do not provide reimbursement

nor compensation for internet nor wifi issues with this in mind - it is an

island. Spectrum is the only provider and just not that great.
