Fabulous South Padre Vacation
Southern Destination is a gorgeous, very well maintained vacation home. We found everything in the home to be exactly as described and depicted in the photos. Our family of five vacationed at Southern Destination for 8 days and we could not be happier with our choice. We will definitely be returning! The home was very well stocked with pool towels, bath towels, dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room and around the two dining tables gave us room to spread out. There were several chairs and a cooler provided to take to the beach which was just a quick 3 minute walk. A second fridge located in the laundry room was very helpful for extra storage of food and drinks. Another small drink fridge outside near the pool was convenient for easy access to drinks and snacks. Most of our time was spent outside in and around the pool. The pool and backyard were larger than expected and very clean. The front and rear balconies offer even more outdoor seating and space to spread out. This home has more than enough room for a large group. The beds were comfortable. One of us slept on the sofa bed in the gameroom and found it to be surprisingly comfortable. The other sofas have the same type of fold out air mattresses. There were two full bathrooms upstairs and a third full bathroom downstairs. All were very clean with good storage. We will be back for sure!

Little oasis
This place surpassed our expectations. The pictures that are online do not do it justice. It was truly a relaxing little getaway. The place was exceptionally clean and stocked with towels, and miscellaneous items for the beach including chairs and cornhole. The pool was so relaxing and shaded making it comfortable to be in there all day and avoid the harsh sun. It was so close to a clean and picturesque beach access. The game room included various games to keep our kids occupied throughout our stay. We really can't wait to stay here again!

Perfect Family Vaca Spot
The house is perfectly located within walking distance to the beach, which made it incredibly convenient for beach trips. The highlight of our stay was definitely the pool. It was beautifully maintained and offered a great spot for relaxation after a day in the sun. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The owners were also very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing beach family vacation. Don't share sensitive info.

Great Summer Beach vacation
Enjoyed our week here with our adult children. Pool is great fun and set up for lounging and enjoying each other’s company. Beds were great and plenty of TVs and lounging spots so everyone could spread out when needed. Beach proximity is awesome and so nice to have the cart, cooler and chairs to use. We used the kitchen for breakfast and snacks and it worked great, you’ll need to pick up basics if planning to cook nothing stocked in the kitchen (oil, salt, pepper). The IGA is close so easy to get what you need. Will definitely recommend and stay again if in the area!

South Padre Island Family Vacation
Very pleased with the overall experience at the Southern Destination property. There was plenty of room for our entire family, and location is excellent so close to the beachfront side of SPI. The game ioom was great, and the kitchen was large enough for several meals we cooked on site. The property manager was also very responsive to a couple of minor issues/requests we had.

Perfect Family Getaway
Such a perfect home for a family (or two). We had plenty of room for 16 of us (7 adults and 9 kids) and didn’t lack for anything. The house was very clean, and we enjoyed every part of it. From the well equipped kitchen, to plenty of towels for all us, we didn’t need to purchase anything beyond a few extra garbage bags and toilet paper (which is expected with such a large group). There are plenty of places within walking distance to get anything you may be missing or forgot, and the beach couldn’t be any closer unless you were staying at a house on it. The only negative was the pool area being slippery with the tiles used near the house, but we put a towel or two down so the kids wouldn’t fall if they decided to walk on the tile dripping wet.

We loved this house and it's location just a block from the beach. We walked to the beach everyday! The great thing about this house is all the areas you can gather. So a large family can have various activities going on at the same time. The large living room is open. Two dining areas inside and one outside. Living room on the main floor and a sitting area on the upper floor. Large balconies front and back. And the pool and pool deck. Amazing!

Family Staycation
Overall it was a very pleasant stay. The house was very clean and tidy. The owners were very responsive prior to the stay whenever we thought of any random questions. While we were there, we had a small issue with a shelf in the refrigerator that broke, but the company they hire to take care of the property was there in just 15 minutes. I do wish we had known that the refrigerator can take a while to cool but that caused no issues with our stay either. There are ALOT of light and fan switches in the house that probably could make maneuvering for guests a bit easier if all of them were labeled so it did become a little frustrating when you want to change something (lights or fans). The internet was frustrating especially since the television is with streaming services but that could be because of being on an island. Again overall it was a really nice stay. It was our first Vrbo so if anything going forward is this great we will be very happy vacationers! Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Beautiful Home with Great Location!
My main priority when finding a VRBO home is cleanliness. I am willing to pay a higher rate for a clean space. This home was immaculate! The owners take great care of this home. We immediately felt at home when we walked through the door. The house was spacious and beautiful and the outside space was well equipped with a heated pool, outdoor furniture, and outside refrigerator. The communication before our stay was always quick and courteous. The location is perfect as it is just a short 1/4 block walk to a main access point to the beautiful beach. I would highly recommend this 5 star property.
