About this house rental
Red Snapper Retreat just completed a remodel in August 2026 — three bedrooms,
two baths, two levels, 50 yards from the public beach access at the end of the
street.
Ground floor for entertaining: living room, kitchen, shaded patio, and a gas
BBQ grill. All three bedrooms upstairs so kids can sleep while the adults hang
downstairs. Up to 12 allowed. Fenced backyard, two pets welcome, excellent
location no cars needed once checked in
Red Snapper Retreat is a two-level row townhome so you get the space and
privacy of a standalone home without the cost of one — ground floor handles
everything social, second floor handles everything quiet. Walk in the front
door and the living room and kitchen with a Smart TV ready for streaming,
connected to Wi-Fi throughout the house.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for real home-cooked
meals — pots, pans, dishes, and all the basics to save both time & money — and
it flows directly out to the shaded patio without a trip through a long
hallway. A full bathroom on the ground floor means nobody upstairs has to come
down in the middle of the night
Up the stairs are all three bedrooms — which means yes, stairs are required.
Higher ceilings throughout give the space an airy feel that smaller condos
rarely manage. The second floor also has a large deck overlooking the backyard
with chairs— a quieter spot to have a morning coffee or catch the evening
breeze after the day winds down.
A washer and dryer are in the unit — one of the more practically useful
amenities on a multi-day beach trip.
FIVE REASONS TO BOOK:
· The beach is at the end of the street — 50 yards, a genuine two-minute walk
with no parking hunt, no shuttle wait, and no hustling the kids across a busy
road. For a townhome that allows 13, that proximity means it is all much
easier. You can go back for sunscreen and return before anyone notices you
left.
· The remodel finished in August 2026, which means you walking into fresh with
everything working exactly as designed. What you see is genuinely what you get
— and it's pretty much all new.
· The third bedroom is built for kids in a way most beach rentals are not —
two full bunk sets with four twin beds and a pull-out trundle under each, six
sleeping surfaces in one dedicated room. Add the master with its king, the
queen-over-queen bunk with single pull out trundle in guest bedroom two, and
the sofa sleeper and airbed downstairs: thirteen guests no problem.
· One block to Blue Marlin IGA grocery, two blocks to Grapevine Cafe for
breakfast, 2.5 blocks to Kraken Sports Bar with a 30-foot big screen, three
blocks to Viva Bayfront Fine Dining, and five blocks to Gravity Park for go-
karts and mini golf. No car needed once you arrive. Two well-behaved dogs are
welcome to come
· Bedrooms all on the second floor; living, kitchen, and entertaining on the
ground floor. Grandma or the toddlers head upstairs early while the rest of
the group stays down — genuinely independent living within one rental rather
than the "everyone goes to bed when the kids do" situation a single-floor
condo forces. A garage keeps beach gear stowed without filling the living room
or entry.
THE BACKYARD
The backyard is fenced — a detail that can have a real upside. Kids can move
freely between the house and the yard without anyone stationed at the door,
and the dogs can settle into the outdoor space without a leash.
The shaded ground-floor patio opens directly from the kitchen and living room
making the BBQ easy.
THE BBQ
A gas/LP BBQ grill is set up on the shaded patio for the cookout tend to
become the best memories of the trip. We provide the grill — please bring your
own LP propane tank, or pick one up at a local Stripes or wal mart.
EXACT SLEEPING SPACE (Up to 13 Guests)
Master bedroom: King bed
Second guest bedroom: Queen-over-queen bunk bed with a single pull-out trundle
underneath — three real sleeping surfaces in one room, a solid setup for
adults or older teens who are comfortable with bunks.
Third guest bedroom: two stand alone bunk bed sets, each with twin beds top
and bottom, plus a single pull-out trundle under each bottom bunk. Six
sleeping surfaces in one dedicated room, built for kids. The kind of bunk
setup that makes a trip for them & you as parents to enjoy.
Living room: a sofa sleeper (folds to a small full-sized bed) plus a full-
sized airbed and pump provided as a backup.
For all permanent beds, fresh linens, blankets, bath towels, and kitchen
towels are provided. If you plan to use the trundle beds, the sofa sleeper, or
the airbed, bring your own extra bedding and pillows — those surfaces are not
made up but welcome for your use. Maximum occupancy is 13 guests; infants and
toddlers are included in that count FYI.
LOCATION
125A E Red Snapper is the kind of address where the vehicles stay parked the
whole trip. Once you have unloaded and settled in, almost everything worth
doing on South Padre Island is within walking distance — and that is not a
stretch for this particular street.
One thing to note – if you get time, do the 2.5 block walk to the Baked Bear
gourmet ice cream sandwich shop for the end of the beach day into early night
At 3 blocks, Kraken Sports Bar and Grill has a 30-foot big screen — the right
place to catch a game without missing the island entirely.
Viva Bayfront Fine Dining at three blocks is arguably the best restaurant on
South Padre Island. Tequila Sunsets, Bob's on the Bay, Driftwood, Louie's
Backyard, and Dairy Queen are all at four blocks for whatever the evening
calls for.
Gravity Park at five blocks has go-karts, an ejector seat ride, and night mini
golf — the activity that usually ends up being a trip highlight for the kids.
The entertainment district is three blocks away for everything else the island
offers.
PARKING AND GARAGE
Two off-street parking spaces in the driveway are included at no charge —
free, unlike hotels on South Padre Island that all charge per car. A golf cart
counts as a vehicle ) and applies toward the two-vehicle limit.
There is a one-car garage on the property, but it is reserved for beach gear
storage only and is not available for vehicle parking — please plan
accordingly. If your group is arriving with more than two vehicles, contact us
before arrival and we will help you think through your options though we do
not guarantee them.
Please note we have multiple units nearby and can rent you additional space
close - Inquire — we would love to help you out!
High-speed WiFi is included throughout the home; please note that Spectrum

if you have must-do work as it can go down. As we are on an island, we do not
provide reimbursement or compensation for WiFi or internet outages.
