Sparky’s Pool House | Private 2 Levels | BBQ | SPI

Half an easy block from the beach on South Padre Island, Sparky’s Pool House is a two-level townhome value-priced for families who want real space without resort prices. It is an older property with character and a few quirks, but it is very clean and allows up to 12. East Mesquite Street is among the most walkable on the island, and public beach access is 100 steps east at the end of the block — under two minutes on foot. Two levels, three bedrooms, and a driveway for two cars.
Five reasons to book:

Private pool with a BBQ area off the patio — bring your own grill and cook outside. A private pool at this price point on South Padre Island is a very short list.
Two levels keep couples and families on separate floors — the right setup when different groups are sharing the space and everyone wants a little breathing room.
Josephine’s Kitchen, Cafe on the Beach, and a Dollar General are all within a short walk — past guests say once you park, you likely won’t need the car again.
Beds for every configuration — queens, doubles, a single, and a futon across the rooms, with an airbed in the closet for the group that runs over.
Up to 2 dogs welcome for a fee — a private pool property on SPI that also takes pets is genuinely rare.

THE LAYOUT
1. Ground floor has a large guest bedroom with two queen beds
2. Upstairs: the master bedroom has a queen bed and a twin futon
3. The third guest bedroom upstairs has one double and one single — a natural fit for teens or a solo traveler in the group
We do also provide an air bed and pump and they're also as a couch, though it is not a sleeper sofa just in case if you do plan on using the air bed or the couch, please bring your own bedding

To set proper expectations: the inside of this townhome is dated. It is not renovated or polished accepting the new tub/shower surround as well the new front door. .It is clean and functional, and the value is in the layout, the pool, and the location — not the finishes.
Please note the 2 levels as the master bedroom is upstairs, though one bedroom is on the main level. While we do allow up to 12 people, there is not adequate provided sleeping space for that many

THE POOL
Pool depth runs 3 to 5 feet throughout. The seating area wraps around it and connects back through the patio to the living room, making it easy to drift in and out all day. There is a BBQ space here as well — bring your own charcoal or gas setup and clean up when you are done. We do not provide a grill.

KITCHEN & WIFI
The kitchen is stocked for real cooking: pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cooking spray, salt and pepper, and coffee with filters. It is a galley layout and not open to the living room, but everything needed for a proper meal is here.
WiFi is the highest-tier available on the island. Outages can happen occasionally — bring a phone hotspot if work cannot wait during your stay.

BASICS
The property requires stairs to reach the upper level. Maximum occupancy is 12 including children and infants, though the space is most comfortable with fewer adults. Parking fits two vehicles in the driveway and is always free — a golf cart counts as one vehicle, unlike hotels on the island that charge for every car.
Street parking is not permitted. SPI beaches allow pop-up tents and small wagons — recommended for hauling gear, as beach toys and beach towels are not provided.
Security patrol runs from 9 PM to 3 AM for noise and vehicles. This is not a party house — unregistered guests and noise complaints result in eviction. Please ask any questions before booking, not after thank you for your consideration
Please note we have multiple units close by and can accommodate more than one group — just ask, we would love to help.

PETS
Up to 2 dogs are welcome for a $75 fee per pet. Please disclose before booking — undisclosed pets result in eviction, so be kind. Dogs cannot be left alone in or out to bark, may not be on furniture and you must pick up all pet droppings to avoid an additional charge, please be kind.

POLICIES
Primary guest must be 23 or older. Guests under 23 require prior approval and an additional refundable damage deposit, if approved at all. A signed digital rental agreement and valid photo ID are required before check-in — door codes are not released without both.
Door codes are sent by text by 3 PM on arrival day. If you are hoping for early check-in, reach out around 1 PM on arrival day and we will accommodate if we can. Strict cancellation policy applies.
