About Karen Smith

We enjoy coming to the Island to kick back and relax. Eveyone on the Island is so friendly. The beach is great. The restaurants have good food, entertainment, and great service.

Karen Smith purchased this condo in 2006
Why Karen Smith chose South Padre Island

We love being directly on the beach. The Tiki is as close to the beach as it gets without getting your feet wet. We also love the relaxed atmosphere on the island. There are shuttles available from both Brownsville and Harlingen airports, making for a convenient trip.

What makes this condo unique

The views from the balcony are what sold us on this condo. You cannot get any closer to the water. We love to sit and watch the kiteboarders, the kids playing on the beach, and watching skydivers land on the beach next door.

Other Activities: Shelling, dolphin watching, surf fishing right out front,

The evening Catamaran sailing dinner cruise is excellent, a gentle cruise in the bay. Entertainment and great food is supplied, they have a grill on-board for grilled shrimp and fajitas, BYOB and fireworks cruises in the summer. Sunset at Laguna Bob's (formally The Wahoo) is a tradition. On especially great sunset nights, people actually stand up and applaud. A BYOB sunset on the 'FLATS', at the beach access just North of the Convention Center, is also spectacular. And don't forget to relax and enjoy an evening or two on the balcony or on the beach in front of the Condo.

Golf: SPI Golf Club is about a 20 minute drive in Laguna Vista. Very nice golf course with some holes right on the Bay.

There are also golf courses in and around the Brownsville area (30-40 Minutes) that are nice and have very reasonable fees.

Absolutely a perfect place for a relaxing and enjoying the sun. If you are into fishing or just plain laying in the sun, this is the place for you. The description is spot on and it was clean and well maintained. The kitchen has all that is needed to cook simple meals, which we did on several occasions. Each morning I would have my coffee on the balcony listening to the waves and watch the sun rise. At night would crack the sliders and listen to the waves which lulled us to sleep.
Thank you Karen and Larry for providing this little slice of paradise, enjoyed every minute.
Owner's Response: We are gald you enjoyed your stay, and our "slice of paradise"! We also enjoy the sound of the waves, and coffee on the balcony.

We hope to host you again soon!

it was the perfect place even for being spring break it wasnt that bad. the only thing that could have been better is the shower head is too low to take a comfortable shower, us being 5ft 7in tall it made it a little hard to wash our hair.
it was the perfect honeymoon destination. thank you very much and we will more than likely be staying there again when we visit south padre island.

The condo was everything that we had hoped for. The view of the ocean from the balcony was fantastic. Very nice to be so close to the ocean waves. The condo came stocked with everything we needed as advertised. The closet full of beach chairs, towels, umbrella was very cool. Just a perfect relaxing time. Can't wait to get the opportunity to come back!
