South Padre, Texas upscale vacation rental w/ large beach view balcony!

We stayed at the Bougainvillea Beach House the last week of March and were very pleased with the accommodations and location. Everything is as described in the listing and the condition of the rental is top-notch. It is always nice to find a spacious, clean, upscale place where we can bring our two Cocker Spaniels and leave them in their crates when we go out. We definitely hope to come back!

Our favorite area was the huge, wrap-around deck with rocking chairs, a swing, cushioned seating area and large outdoor dining space. The deck was a great place for cocktails at the end of the day and watching the world go by. And yes, you can see the gulf from the deck. The kitchen is large and has lots of extras - even a crock pot and a commercial-style stove! The master bathroom has two sinks, a large shower, and a spa tub (didn't use the tub though). Both bedrooms have lots of closet space and drawer space and there are French doors to the deck. The beds were all very comfortable and it was nice to have flat-screen TVs in all the rooms. The Wi-Fi always worked great.

It was great to have beach access right across the street. Along the street in front of the rental there is a designated, paved path which we used for walking the dogs. There are several eateries and shops within walking distance and bicycles are available for longer treks. In addition, there are plenty of beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas to use. This was one of the best vacation rental in which we have ever stayed.

We recently came back from our first visit to SPI and Lynn and Kevin's accommodations were excellent. The listing description and photos were accurate for location, appearance, and amenities. The photos of the porch are what got my attention and the porch didn't disappoint. The interior is nicely decorated and very comfortable. The property is exceptionally well maintained and Lynn and Kevin were helpful answering questions that we had. Having access to beach chairs was also a plus. The location was convenient to the beach and a short drive to the kiteboarding beach on the bay side.Stores and restaurants are within walking distance. If you are not into the highrise condo scene, this property is for you. We loved it and will return.

We took a family vacation, which had 11 adults and 1 baby, and we were VERY pleased with the beach house. It is right across from the beach and Lynn provided everything that we needed to have a great beach vacation. The accomidations are better than any you would find in your upscale hotels. We rented both sections of the 2nd floor and had 5 full bathrooms between them both. The wrap around deck was our evening hangout spot with the BBQ pit and abundant seating for all of us to enjoy. We've been back home a week now and still miss "our" beach house. We definately will be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice beach getaway. You will not be dissappointed with this decision. BTW, the kitchen is far above anything you would expect at a "rental" house. We felt like we were cooking in a 5 star kitchen. We cooked and used the BBQ pit, just outside on the deck, everyday. Great location; just down the street from the local grocery store, a nice 3-4 minute walk to the beach and all the amenities inside the house to make your stay relaxing. The Sleep Number bed in the master bedroom was amazing. My wife is 5 months pregnant and she slept like a baby on it. The bathrooms are also very well done, must see. I only rate this place as Excellent because that's the highest the reviews go! We considered renting a hotel on the Island at first but are glad we chose this instead. I will never stay anywhere else as long as I continue to go to South Padre Island. Thank you Lynn and family for making our stay on SPI so memorable! P.S. Make sure to ask her husband about his bay fishing specials. We didn't have enough time on this trip but will make plans for it on our future stays.
