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.
