Review
Casa Gardenia was the perfect vacation home, and so close to the beach!We had an amazing time and our whole group of 8 slept comfortably with space to spare. There was so much open space that we could all enjoy South Padre island whether it be on the huge deck, in the spacious kitchen cooking together, or in the plunge pool cooling off! This is a house you can truly feel at home. It is outfitted with everything you need; beach towels,bicycles, pots and pans, and even a wagon to tote your things down to the o! We never wanted to leave! The bedrooms are huge and the bathrooms are all fully updated and beautifully done. Jan, the owner and manager of Vacation Villas did an amazing job catering to our group and we look forward to coming back next year to have just as an amazing experience as this year was.

If you should require a cooler temperature we can set it up especially for you for an additional fee. Please inquire for details. We use eco-friendly paper products to reduce waste and are careful with our water consumption both inside and out.

Why the Owners Chose Private Homes on South Padre Island
South Padre Island is now considered one of the top 10 beaches in the US. Scott grew up vacationing on the island as a child when there were only 2 resorts and simple shell roads. Jan, originally from California, was so delighted when in her early 20's she discovered that she had been missing out on this big beautiful beach. Not to mention, gorgeous sunrises and awesome bay side sunsets. She had always heard that Texas beaches were not as nice as California's beaches. What a wonderful surprise. Our warm beautiful Gulf waters can be enjoyed by all. Scott and Jan are South Padre Island fans and plan to spend as much time as possible for many years on our fabulous little island.
The Unique Benefits of this Luxury Private Home At South Padre Island
One of our favorite things to do at South Padre Island is to have a delicious gourmet home cooked fresh fish dinner on the upper deck by lantern light. To linger with friends, enjoy our favorite island drink, and chat late into the evening while watching the passers by on their way to or from the beach. We review the days activities and speculate what tomorrow, another day at the beach will bring. There is so much to do. At the north end you can visit the resident sea turtles and those who are just here for rehab to the southern end where we dolphin watch from children's beach. Anywhere in between we have gone sailing, surfing, skim boarding, boogie boarding, body surfing, shelling, diving off shore, para-sailing, jet skiing, bay fishing, deep sea fishing, sight seeing on the bay at sunset, fireworks over the bay on Friday nights, cocktails, bayside at sunset, dining beach side and bay side, dancing to the live band at Pelican West or on the beach at "Wanna Wanna" to the Bongo Dogs, singing karaoke 365 days a year at the Coral Reef, crabbing, tanning, tiki torch parties on the beach at night, or just a nice long walk, bungee jumping, go cart riding, Beach Park at Isla Blanca, biking,(a favorite) kayaking, dune bungee jumping, dog walking, kite boarding, just kiting, or simply taking a book to the beach and relaxing beneath the umbrella with toes in the sand and going for a nice refreshing swim in the sparkling fresh blue-green water. The beach is one of the best places to embrace the local culture. It's where we watch the seabirds like the giant brown majestic pelican, and we do some good people watching, enjoy the breeze, being lulled by the crashing waves and the slower pace of island life.
