2BR Pool, 200 Steps to Beach, High Ceilings SPI

Summary:

Pueblo de Padre II, Unit 2 sits 200 steps from the Gulf at 114 E Swordfish on the east/beach side of Padre Blvd — so you walk straight to the water without crossing the busy four-lane road. Two bedrooms, two baths, up to 6 guests, with over 1,100 square feet of open floor plan, high ceilings, and a quiet second floor with no unit above you. A small pool, a patio with small BBQ grill, and some of the best walkable restaurants on South Padre Island are right outside the door.



The Space:

THE SPACE

Walk in and the layout is what you will see first: open floor plan with the kitchen and breakfast bar at the center, living room flowing naturally into it, and both bedrooms off to separated for privacy. It's the kind of setup that lets a family of six actually breathe without anyone being on top of each other. The large kitchen table is where the good conversations happen — after dinner, before a beach day, or over a slow breakfast when nobody's in a rush.



The kitchen is fully equipped — pots, pans, dishes, everything needed to run a real meal saving time & money over always eating out. All tile floors throughout, high ceilings, and larger size make this condo feel bigger than most on the island at this price point.



Both bedrooms have their own door directly out to the patio, which is a nice detail when the group wants to split up without walking through the living room.



Out on the patio you'll find a small BBQ grill — the pool is just off the patio as well, shared among the small number of units in the complex. It's a quiet, low-traffic setup; no resort crowd, no waiting. Reach out with any questions about pool hours.



Starter supplies provided: linens, bath towels, face and hand towels, soaps, shampoos, dishwasher pods, coffee, filters, creamer, and sweetener — starter amounts, not restocked during your stay. Beach towels are not provided; bring your own. If you plan on using the sleeper sofa or the airbed.



FIVE REASONS TO BOOK:



· 200 steps to the beach, east/beach side of Padre Blvd — no busy road to cross with kids in tow



· Over 1,100 sq ft with high ceilings and a quiet 2nd floor — nobody stomping around above you



· King in the master, queen with a single trundle in the second bedroom, sleeper sofa and airbed in the living room



· Grapevine Cafe (island's top-rated breakfast) is 3 houses away, Baked Bear Ice Cream right next door to it



· 2 FREE off-street parking spaces, washer and dryer in the unit, contactless e-lock check-in



SLEEPING (Up to 6 Guests)

Master bedroom: King bed, en suite full bathroom. Second bedroom: Queen bed with a pull-out single trundle underneath — three can sleep comfortably in that room. Living room: a smaller sleeper sofa and a full-size airbed with pump provided. Bring your own bedding for the sleeper sofa and the airbed if you plan on using. The 6-guest maximum includes infants and children.



PARKING

Two off-street FREE parking spaces are included at no charge - unlike hotels on the island that charge per car.



NEIGHBORHOOD

Three buildings down is Grapevine Cafe, one of the highest-rated breakfast and lunch spots on South Padre Island, with a full-service coffee bar. For anyone gluten intolerant, they have you covered — the banana bread french toast is gluten-free and worth every bite, and the club sandwiches are just as good.



Right next door to Grapevine is the decadent Baked Bear Ice Cream & Cookies, open late and genuinely hard to walk past without stopping. Save the calorie counting for when you're home hey!



Three blocks up is the local IGA supermarket, home to the best meat market on the island if you're planning a proper grill night. For evening drinks, Tequila Sunsets and Bob's on the Bay are both walkable.



And for a real dinner experience — craft martinis, bayfront views, the jaw dropping sunset thrown in for free — Viva is the move. Most locals will tell you it's the best restaurant on the island and it's hard to argue.



This stretch of South Padre packs in far more than most visitors expect when they first arrive.



Please note we have multiple units nearby and can rent you more than one. Inquire — we would love to help you out!



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.
