Gulfview II #604 - Ein Schlafzimmer Wohnung, Schläft 6

Summary:

Gulfview II, Unit 604 sits on the 6th floor at 130 Padre Blvd with private beach access, an Olympic-length pool that is a genuine rarity on this island, a heated hot tub, and a sightline to SpaceX Starbase from the 6th floor common area. One bedroom, one bath, up to 6 guests, fully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, and a brand-new walk-in tile shower. If a launch is on the schedule during your stay, you already have one of the best seats on South Padre Island.



The Space:

The kitchen remodel is the real deal — granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open-concept layout that flows right into the living room. Both an eat-in breakfast counter that is perfect if you have to knock out some work, and a full dining table give the group room to spread out for a real meal. Smart TVs are throughout the condo and log in to your own streaming accounts when you're ready to wind down.



The brand-new walk-in all-tile shower with heavy glass door was just finished and is a noticeable step up from what you'll find in most units at this price point on the island. Up on the 6th floor you get real elevation, actual airflow off the Gulf, and a private unit patio with a partial view — a solid way to start the morning with coffee before the beach day begins. The building has an elevator, so no hauling gear up stairs. Community laundry is on-site as well.



Starter supplies provided: fresh, crisp linens, bath towels, face and hand towels, soaps, shampoos, dishwasher pods, coffee, filters, creamer, and sweetener — not restocked during your stay, so plan to grab more if needed. Beach towels are not provided; bring your own. All standard beds come dressed in fresh linens and comforters. If you use the airbed, please remember to bring your own bedding for it.



FIVE REASONS TO BOOK:



SpaceX launch patio on the 6th floor yet the beach access point to the waters edge is just about 200 yards away



Poolside charcoal BBQ grills, 3 tennis courts, and a clubhouse right at the complex



Granite kitchen remodel and brand-new walk-in tile shower — the upgrades are noticeable



Two double beds in the bedroom plus a provided double airbed with pump — sweet spot is four, max is six



Three restaurants at Sea Ranch Marina 350 yards away — Sea Ranch, Mahi Nics, and Dirty Al's (best fried shrimp in Texas) plus about 100 yards to the beachfront bar & grill at the Holiday Inn



SLEEPING (Up to 6 Guests)

Bedroom: two double beds — this unit is at its best with four guests. A double-sized airbed with pump is provided for up to two additional guests such as likely kids, bringing the maximum to six. The 6-guest maximum includes infants and children.



PARKING

A small drawback here is there is just one assigned off-street free parking space included — free, unlike hotels on the island that charge per car. If your group arrives in more than one vehicle, the Island Transit Center nearby usually has free overflow parking, and the Post Office lot (about 3 miles away) is a backup option. No pets.



SPRING BREAK

During spring break — roughly 10 days in March — the Gulfview II HOA here charges a $25 per person wristband fee, payable before arrival or in cash to security on-site when you arrive. Outside that window, there are no wristband fees and no deposits required. Compared to many complexes on the island, this is a genuine advantage as its sister building Gulfview I charges for both parking permit and wristbands year round.



NEIGHBORHOOD

You are on the quiet, laid-back southern end of the island — home to some of the best food on South Padre that most visitors never find. Right at Sea Ranch Marina, 350 yards from the front door, are three restaurants locals keep going back to: Sea Ranch for casual-elegant waterfront dining with Gulf seafood and a lively bar that tends to run longer than planned; Mahi Nics for open-air marina with the best fish tacos on SPI - as most locals will tell you - and Dirty Al's, where they run their own shrimp boats so nothing is ever frozen — the best fried shrimp in Texas, and we will stand behind that claim.



The beachfront restaurant at the Holiday Inn Beach Resort is close by, and a short walk north on the sand takes you to Landshark Grill at the Margaritaville Resort, open to the public. About a mile and a half out, the 410 Plaza rounds things out: Tropical Smoothie Café, Johnny Rockets, Calacas Street Tacos, Kohnami Sushi & Japanese, and Russo's Family Italian for when the group can never agree.



Please note we have multiple units and can rent you more than one. Inquire — we would love to help you out! It is just important to know that Gulfview is not a new complex and outside view and grounds does have a dated feel. We do not want to disappoint anyone - it is accordingly priced.



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
