Port Isabel, TX, United States

Bungalow on South Padre Bay

Enjoy the best the South Padre Island (SPI) area has to offer from this quiet and secure waterfront respite. This bungalow's backyard is the Laguna Madre. From our cozy serene home and dock, you can enjoy countless hours daydreaming or reading as you look out at the expansive lagoon, or do some bird watching, paddle boarding, kayaking, or fishing! From your water nest, you will be a short 15 minutes from SPI beaches, but far enough to get away from the crowds after a long day in the sun.

You can count on access to to the community pool, hot tub, and Gazebo located at the end of a dock where you can take selfies or pictures of glorious sunsets and sunrises and the South Padre Island skyline. The bungalow counts with a two-car driveway and private backyard with a BBQ grill, and outdoor seating. The living area has a comfortable couch where you can watch your favorite show or movie on a 60" TV. You will also have access to a picnic area under a beautiful lagoon-side pergola, a basketball court, and children's playground. If you're an avid runner, you can log miles in various directions just outside the property gate. Guests are encouraged to bring kayaks, paddle boards, floating devices and fishing gear as well as water shoes and/or waterproof fishing gear (if you don't want to get wet). Some information on the Laguna Madre: The Laguna Madre is a long, shallow, hypersaline lagoon along the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of seven major estuaries along the Gulf Coast of Texas. The roughly 20-mile (32 km) long Saltillo Flats land bridge divides it into Upper and Lower lagoons joined by the Intracoastal Waterway, which has been dredged through the lagoon. Cumulatively, Laguna Madre is approximately 130 miles (209 km) long, the length of Padre Island in the US.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

This Bungalow is located in the newly developed community known as Las Joyas. The minute you drive in to the this community you know you're near the ocean with its serene layout and pastel colored houses. If you need to shop for groceries an HEB and Walmart is a short mile away as is a Starbucks and many other restaurants. The historic quaint town of Port Isabel is a couple miles away, 2.2 miles to the Port Isabel Lighthouse Historic Site. South Padre Island beaches are a short 15 minute drive (could be slower in high season). Interested in getting in touch with nature? Our community is surrounded by the nearby Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refugee which compasses more than 97, 000 acres, a portion of which are open to the public for wildlife related activities like wildlife watching, hunting, fishing, photography and environmental education.

Guest Access

Guests can access the entire home, driveway, and community areas including the basketball court, picnic area, playground, pool, hot tub, and gazebo. In addition, guests can borrow our kayaks for an additional fee. Guests are free to fish (with a valid Texas fishing license) from our back yard (in high tide), the gazebo, or you can literally walk over two football fields (and then some) out into the lagoon. If you want to spend a day or evening in the big city, you are about 30 minutes from Brownsville and the border with Mexico.

We had a great stay here! Communication was helpful when we had questions. The location was perfect, we loved the pool, and the deck over the water was such a highlight. Would definitely come back.

Es una experiencia completa quedarte aquí, las fotos son fieles a lo que se promete; la zona es tranquila y cerca de la isla, el muelle da vistas increíbles que me negaba a dejar de ver! Lamento que no se puedan postear fotos en la reseña para que termines de convencerte de reservar aquí. Las instalaciones son bastante bonitas, cómodas, limpias y todo está etiquetado (lo cual aprecié mucho). Amamos poder asar en la parrilla y disfrutar la cena con mis hijos con la serenidad que el muelle proporciona. La actividad fav de mis hijos fue salir al amanecer a disfrutar de las vistas. Las áreas comunes como el jacuzzi y piscina también con muy bonitas y tranquilas, los vecinos muy amables pero también brindan privacidad. Agradecemos que fueron anfitriones muy atentos, desde que llegamos y si había alguna duda o tema, lo resolvían con rapidez y muy cálidos. ¡Sin duda se convirtió en nuestro lugar favorito para hospedarnos cuando vamos a SPI! Volveremos!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was a peaceful home base for our trip and convenient to many activities. Joseph was a great host, responsive to our questions and especially kind when we had a family emergency back at home. The cottage was exactly what we expected based on the pictures and descriptions provided.

Safe, peaceful, and beautiful location that looked exactly like the photos. Home was as described. We really enjoyed the outside area. House was well stocked with towels, linens, kitchen and bathroom essentials. Bonus was the collection of books available. Loved our time relaxing here.

Joseph was a great host! He provides very clear instructions that make checking in and getting situated a breeze. The property is beautiful and the on-site amenities were a major bonus! He was kind and responsive and a great host.
