NEW! Gulfview I - 150 Yards to Beach, BBQ Poolside

Gulfview I unit 411 is the definition of an affordably priced beach vacation.

A 1-bedroom condo on the 4th floor with a working elevator, 150 yards from the

public beach access, sleeping up to six guests across two queens, a full-sized

pull-out sofa, and an airbed.



A large pool, heated outdoor hot tub, and charcoal BBQ pits with poolside

tables and shade are steps from your door. The Holiday Inn's tiki bar and

Beach Park SPI waterpark areright next door. Value done right on South Padre

Island.

FIVE REASONS TO BOOK:



Value-priced 1-bedroom sleeping up to 6, with 2 queens in the main bedroom, a

full-sized pull-out sofa, and a sleeper airbed on standby.



Large pool, heated hot tub, and multiple community charcoal BBQ pits with

poolside tables and shade — a rare combination at this price point on South

Padre Island.



150 yards to the public beach access — walk out through the lot, past the

Holiday Inn's tiki bar and grill, straight to the sand. Beach Park SPI

waterpark is right on the other side.



4th floor unit with a working elevator, building luggage carts, and a ramp

from the parking area to the elevator — the unload-and-go process is easier

than most beach trips.



Security patrolled at night, consistently pro-cleaned between every stay, and

honestly priced for what it is — a clean, functional beach condo that delivers

real value.



THE SPACE



Walk into Gulfview I unit 411 and the open-concept layout connects everything

from the front door: kitchen to the left, full bathroom to the right, and the

dining and living spaces opening straight ahead toward the patio. The kitchen

is acceptable size for an off-beach condo, fully stocked with all the pots,

pans, dishes, and utensils needed for home-cooked meals that add up to real

savings over a week-long stay.



Granite countertops on the kitchen island and stainless finishes give it a

clean, functional feel.



The living room is built for beach evenings — a large new flat-screen Smart TV

ready for streaming, a sectional sofa that can fold down to a full-sized bed,

and a natural flow out through the patio door. The patio itself has a love

seat and table for morning coffee or a sunset drink, with a peek-a-boo view of

Beach Park SPI's attractions visible from your chair. Off the dining area, the

main bedroom sits on the far side of the bathroom and has its own flat-screen

TV, giving the room a comfortable, separate feel.



Worth saying plainly: Gulfview I is not a recently renovated complex, and this

unit reflects that honestly. You'll find older beige tile and white appliances

— everything works and is clean, but this is not a freshly remodeled interior.

We set that expectation up front because we'd rather you arrive knowing what

to expect.



For guests prioritizing value, location, and a genuinely clean space over

updated finishes, this condo consistently deliver a deal. If a renovated

interior is at the top of your list, it's probably not the right fit.



The full bathroom features an all-tile walk-in shower. There is no washer or

dryer inside the unit — but a coin-operated community laundry facility is

available near the Gulfview office on the property.



SLEEPING (Up to 6 Guests)



Main bedroom: two queen beds, both set up and ready with fresh, crisp linens.



Living room: the sectional sofa folds down to a full-sized pull-out bed. A

sleeper airbed with pump is also provided as a backup.



Linens and bedding are provided for both queen beds. If you plan to use the

pull-out sofa or the airbed, bring your own bedding for those surfaces.



Maximum occupancy is 6 guests, infants and toddlers included, no exceptions.

Note that for 6 adults, this would be a tight arrangement. It works well when

kids are in the group. We want your party to arrive with the right picture of

the space.



LOCATION



Gulfview I sits at the south end of South Padre Island — a position that lands

you next to Beach Park SPI and the Holiday Inn rather than in the middle of

the entertainment district.

The surrounding streets are quieter and more family-oriented, while every

restaurant, activity, and nightlife option on the island stays accessible by

car or the free Island Metro bus that runs the length of SPI.



Sea Ranch Marina is about 4 football fields from the complex — close enough to

walk. Dirty Al's and Mahi Nic's at Sea Ranch serve excellent seafood (best

shrimp on Island) with nachos and fish tacos that are worth the short stroll.

Sea Ranch Restaurant offers finer dining with views off the marina.



The entertainment district and the broader South Padre Island dining scene are

roughly 5 to 10 minutes away by car. Deep sea fishing charters, dolphin

watching tours, kiteboarding instruction, and jet ski rentals are all easily

arranged from this location. The Laguna Madre and the Gulf offer miles of

public access shoreline and water access in both directions.



PARKING AND LOGISTICS



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

hotels on South Padre Island that all charge per car. A parking permit is

provided inside the unit when you arrive. It must be displayed in your vehicle

windshield at all times — the property is security patrolled and vehicles

without a permit will be towed at the owner's expense.

There is no additional guest parking at this property; if your group arrives

with more than one vehicle, reach out and we can suggest free nearby options

though not on premise



Important: Gulfview I requires all guests to purchase HOA wristbands at $20

per person, payable in cash directly to security upon arrival. This applies to

all guests regardless of age and is a complex requirement outside of our

control.



We want to be fully transparent about this cost before you book. If wristbands

are not something you can agree to, please do not book this property — we say

that openly so there are no surprises at check-in. During March Spring Break

and Easter weekend, additional complex rules apply; please contact us before

booking during those periods.



Please note we have multiple units 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.



DISCOUNTS — JUST ASK



Reduced rates for off-season stays (September 15 – December 15), veterans and

active military, and current Texas tackle football coaches (our sons play for

Lake Travis in Austin — Go Cavs!). Send a message and ask.



POLICIES



Primary guest must be 23 or older and present at check-in. Guests under 23

require prior approval before booking — an additional substantial refundable

damage deposit applies if approved. Please do not book without inquiring first

if the primary guest is under 23.



Maximum occupancy is 6 guests, infants and toddlers included, no exceptions.

Pets are not permitted at this property — no animals of any kind.



Gulfview I requires all guests to have HOA security wristbands. South Padre

Trips pre-collects this fee before your arrival for convenience: $25 per

person, fully refundable when you return both your wristbands and your parking

permit at checkout.



Please take a photo of them left in the unit at checkout — that photo is your

protection for the refund. During March and Easter week (Semana Santa / Holy

Week), the wristband fee is $35 per person and is non-refundable. Guests must

pay security directly in cash in March and during Easter on arrival may do so,

though the cash rate runs higher than what we pre-collect. This is a complex

HOA fee outside of our control — we want it fully disclosed before you book so

there are no surprises.



A signed digital rental agreement and a valid photo ID are required before

door codes are released. You must read and agree to all house rules prior to

booking — we are more than happy to answer any questions before your booking.

Strict cancellation policy applies. No smoking, no parties, no loud music at

any time. The property is security patrolled at night. Check-in is 3 PM,

check-out is 11 AM.
