Tortuga Bay (3-Bedroom Home) with Pool by RedAwning

Tortuga Bay is a three-story bayfront townhome on SPI, one block from the

beach - a walk-in beach-style pool, dedicated community boat dock with

reserved boat slip suitable for shallow sport boats directly on the Laguna

Madre bay, and private patios on all three floors for bay sunset views. Up to

10 guests are allowed across three self-contained levels. The south end

location puts a full restaurant and bar strip within walking distance.

The kitchenis fully equipped for home cooking to save you both time and

money. Smart TVs are set up throughout the townhome — stream from your own

apps; no cable is provided. We provide fresh, crisp linens, towels, and

bedding on all standard beds. Bring your own bedding for the pull-out couches

and the provided airbed and pump if you so desire.



A full-sized washer and dryer are in the unit — while no detergent is

provided, it is a nice amenity. Though beach gear is not included; chairs and

umbrellas rent on the beach for about $45 per day with no advance booking

needed.



Five reasons to book:

The community boat docks are among the rarest amenities on South Padre Island

— flats, shallow sport, and dargal boats can tie up for your stay (while

dedicated, understand may need high tide conditions). A semi public boat

launch is about 300 yards away between Lobo del Mar and Longboards Bar for a

fee



The entire third floor is the master suite: King bed, massive frameless walk-

in shower, dual sinks, a bay-view desk, and two easy chairs — a complete floor

between the primary guest and the rest of the group, with a private patio

above it all.



The ground floor runs as its own zone: a Queen bedroom on one side and a back

room with a wet bar, mini fridge, full-sized bunk beds, and a pull-out couch

on the other — both open directly to the pool patio, with a shared full bath

on the floor.



The second floor is the gathering hub: open kitchen, half bath, dining table,

bar seating with stools, and a living room that flows onto the bay-view patio

— with a pull-out couch in the living room for sleeping flexibility.



Nautico, Liam’s Steakhouse, Lobo del Mar, Longboards, Henrietta’s, Russo’s

Italian, Johnny Rockets, Gabriella’s, #1 Yummies Cafe, and more are all within

a short walk. CVS is nearly across the street for anything you forgot.



SLEEPING (Up to 10 Guests)

Ground floor: Queen bed in the first bedroom. Back room: bunk beds with full-

sized mattresses on both levels — top bunk holds weight — and a full-sized

pull-out couch (bring bedding). Second floor living room: pull-out couch

(bring bedding). Third floor master: King bed. Please do note Infants and

babies do count toward the 10-guest maximum.

While we do allow up to 10, it is a bit more comfortable with slightly less.



BOAT DOCK & WATER ACCESS

The community docks sit right on the Laguna Madre and accommodate shallow-

draft boats. High tide may be required for access. There is limited boat

trailer parking available on site outside the gate - first come on that pre

reserve with us as far in advance as possible - there is some free street

parking along W. Polaris Drive but cannot be guaranteed. Inquire with

questions



PARKING

One guaranteed reserved space in front of the unit, and generally ample guest

parking available in the complex for up to 1 additional vehicle max. On the

rare occasion parking fills, the Post Office nearby is the move: free, well-

lit, police-patrolled, and they do not tow. Overnight parking of boats or

trailers is not permitted at the Post Office however. Parking here is free,

which is more than the hotels on the island can say.



A NOTE ON STAIRS

Three levels means three distinct, private spaces — which is exactly the

point. It also means stairs between every floor. This property is not a good

fit for guests who cannot manage stairs. If that applies to anyone in your

group, please reach out before booking and we can point you to something

better suited.

Please note we have multiple units nearby and can rent you more than one.

Inquire — we would love to help you out! We do manage a 4 plex (complete

building) that are 2 bedroom / 2 bath condos nearly across the street.

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

service can be spotty at times, so come prepared with a hotspot 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 25 or older. Guests under 25 require prior approval

before booking and a substantial additional refundable damage deposit, if

approved at all. A signed digital rental agreement and valid photo ID are

required before check-in. Strict cancellation policy applies — this home books

in advance and refunds are not available once booked. No smoking, no parties,

no loud music at any time. The property is security patrolled at night.



SELF CHECK-IN & MANAGEMENT

Professionally managed by South Padre Trips — the #1 reviewed vacation rental

company on South Padre Island, with 24/7 phone support. Office at 2600 Padre

Blvd, open 7 days a week. Door codes are sent by text by 3 PM on your arrival

day.

We PRO-clean between each reservation and stay — not a quick cleanup, done

right every time. We have staff on 24 hours a day, a real bonus you cannot

find with a mom-and-pop host. Starter toiletries and cleaning supplies are

provided but not replenished. For stays of 3 nights or more, complimentary

linen and towel exchange is available at the South Padre Trips office at 2600

Padre Blvd — the best property manager on South Padre Island.
