This 1700 sq ft 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse is a great base station for hitting the beaches on Padre Island. Waves Waterpark (formerly Schlitterbahn) is walkable at the end of the street and two great beaches are 4 minutes and 7 minutes away. Port Aransas is an 18 minute straight shot and its very easy from here to get off the island and to better and more affordable food (for example run to Rudy's BBQ in about 10 minutes). We use this primarily for our family as an escape but also host! The space We wanted this place to be comfortable and not overwhelmingly beachy. We put in nice memory foam mattresses, a 60 inch Roku TV (and a 42 inch upstairs), some artificial turf in the private backyard and an inflatable kids pool, a nice washer and dryer for your towels etc. We've added some things that make a big difference like a fry-daddy so you can affordably fry up your own fish and shrimp and save $$$. We also have a golf cart available for rent upon request. Please note: In accordance with this booking-platform policies, guests may be asked to review and sign one or more reservation agreements after booking. Other things to note For pets we ask that you let us know about each of your pets and tell us stuff like whether they shed, if they chew, if they are not fully potty trained, and if you will be leaving them in a crate when you leave. For shorter stays we ask for a $200 deposit per pet and we normally double that for longer stays (more than a week). Half of the deposit is refundable if the cleaners don't feel like they need to do a deeper clean to deal with hair, urine, smells etc and there isn't any pet damage.
