Apartment in South Padre Island, TX
Reasons to book
About this apartment rental
beach at South Padre Island's most resort-like condo complex. Two bedrooms,
two baths, up to 8 guests, and a sweeping ocean view from two private patios —
one off the living room overlooking the pool and courts, one off the guest
bedroom for splitting the group. Three pools, three Texas-sized heated hot
tubs, tennis, pickleball, and a gated private beach entrance are all right
below you.
THE SPACE
The layout is exactly what a family or group of friends needs: living room and
kitchen in the center, master to the left, second bedroom to the right, main
patio straight ahead overlooking the pool, tennis courts, and the Gulf beyond.
Having both bedrooms flanking the common area means two families or two groups
can share the space with real privacy — it's a floor plan that holds up under
the pressure of a big trip.
The kitchen has older black granite countertops — the appliances all work
perfectly and the kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking if you want to
save money and skip the restaurant run every meal. The eat-in breakfast
counter practically begs for a morning taco bar.
There's a washer and dryer off the kitchen as well, a genuine convenience on
any stay. A flat screen Smart TV in the living room handles movie nights as
well as in each bedroom and the spacious living room is perfect for a family
board game night after a long afternoon at the beach or pools
A quick note on the unit: Royale numbers its floors with a 9 prefix, so Unit
9115 is genuinely on the 11th floor with full elevator access. This is in the
Royale Beach & Tennis Club — the 5th tower of Saida, originally all timeshares
and now individually owned. The grounds are expansive, high-fenced with 24/7
security, and feel more like a resort than a condo complex. Saida has five
towers total, which means plenty of other families and plenty of room for kids
to find each other.
One detail worth knowing: Beach Kissed Rentals operates right in front of
Saida — walk out, find two empty chairs with an umbrella, and they'll come
over to charge you the $45 cash for the day. No hauling gear required & no pre
arranged reservations required. The beach itself is open-container friendly
(no glass), and BBQ on the beach is allowed. Note that Royale does not permit
grills on the property nor patios itself.
Starter supplies provided included fresh, crisp & clean linens, bath towels,
face and hand towels, soaps, shampoos, dishwasher pods, trash bags, coffee,
filters, creamer, and sweetener — starter amounts only, not restocked during
your stay. Beach towels are not provided; bring your own. If you plan to use
the pull-out sofa or the airbed, bring bedding for those surfaces — we supply
the queen airbed and pump but not the sheets and blankets for it.
FIVE REASONS TO BOOK:
11th floor sweeping ocean view — two private patios and a super high floor
that is tough to beat
3 pools (1 heated, 1 Olympic-sized), 3 Texas-sized heated hot tubs, BYOB
coolers welcome at the beachfront pools (no glass)
King in the master, 2 queens in the second room, sofa bed and queen airbed in
the living room. Up to 8 guests allowed
Dogs welcome — up to 2 at $75 each, one of the better rates you'll find on the
island
Walk to 10+ restaurants including Yummies (the island's #1 breakfast spot) and
Kohnami Sushi right down the street plus Johnny Rockets, Russo’s Italian &
more
SLEEPING (Up to 8 Guests)
Master bedroom: King bed, en suite full bathroom, flat screen TV, desk with
ocean view — great for knocking out a little work with a view that makes it a
tad harder to close the laptop when the time comes.
Second bedroom: two queen beds, full bathroom, flat screen Smart TV. Living
room: full-size pull-out sofa bed — bring your own bedding for it — and a
queen-size airbed with pump provided, also bring your own bedding. The 8-guest
maximum includes infants and children.
PARKING
Two off-street secure free parking spaces are included at no charge — free,
unlike hotels on the island that charge per car. This unit comes with two
spaces and there is no additional guest parking at the complex, so plan to
arrive in two vehicles max. For a third vehicle, free street parking is
available on Gulf Blvd (a city-owned street), and the Post Office and
Intermodal Transit Center are nearby backup options.
DOGS
Up to two dogs are welcome at $75 per dog — one of the better rates on South
Padre Island. Dogs may not be on furniture, left alone to bark, or brought
into pool areas.
SPRING BREAK
During spring break and Holy Week — roughly the month of March — the Saida
Royale HOA charges a $25 per person wristband fee for guests ages 10 to 33.
This is an HOA requirement, not ours. We pre-collect it after booking for your
convenience and the wristbands will be waiting in the condo when you arrive.
Outside of spring break and Holy Week, there are no wristbands
NEIGHBORHOOD
The south end of South Padre Island is where this unit sits — which matters
more than it sounds. Crossing the causeway puts you here first, before the
crowds concentrate further north, and the difference in traffic on a busy
weekend is very real.
Right in the walkable area is some of the best eating on the island. Yummies
takes the top spot on both Yelp and TripAdvisor for breakfast on South Padre —
the line out front is there for a reason, and they also run a full-service
coffee bar for when you need a proper start to the morning. Kohnami Japanese &
Sushi is a genuine do-not-miss. Russo's Italian covers affordable, solid pizza
alongside gluten-free and wine options.
Gabriella's is the upscale Italian dinner when the group wants a real night
out. Johnny Rockets and Tropical Smoothie Café take care of the quick, casual
meals. Calacas Taco Bar runs late for the nights when nobody can agree on a
bedtime.
Within 7 city blocks there are more than 15 restaurants in total — a rare
stretch of South Padre that genuinely earns the word "walkable."
Please note we have multiple units at Saida and can rent you more than one.
Inquire — we would love to help you out! We actually can assist groups of up
to 250 or more
High-speed WiFi is included throughout the condo; 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 23 or older. Guests under 23 may be considered with
prior approval before booking and a substantial additional refundable damage
deposit — reach out before you book. A signed digital rental agreement and
valid photo ID are required before check-in.
You must read and agree to all house rules prior to booking — we are happy to
answer any questions before you arrive. Strict cancellation policy applies. 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.
