Enjoy knowing there won’t be any tiny hotel rooms or bumping into strangers in the hall. The money you save and the privacy you’ll enjoy will change your vacation expectations forever!

Our South Padre Island vacation rentals are the best and we prove it to you when you stay here. Following are 5 tips that will help you to have the best vacation of the summer.


1. Make Your Reservations Early
The longer you wait to reserve your vacation rental the higher the risk of having to settle for less than the ideal spot. Do you have your heart set on arriving on a certain date? Then make your reservations early!

2. Check the Weather Forecast
What is the weather forecasted to be like during your visit? In tropical locations the rainy season may have warm and sunny days with pop-up showers in the late afternoon. One benefit of traveling early in the season is that the weather is more temperate.

3. Do Your Research
Everything you need to know about the area and your vacation destination can be found online. How big are the rooms? Are housekeeping services included or are they extra? Does the price include taxes? Don’t rely on photos alone. When in doubt, just ask us.

4. Use Online Resources
Be sure to look at photos of the vacation rental online. Read testimonials posted by previous guests. Do a Google search just for kicks. There are many online resources you can take advantage of.

5. Trust Your Gut
Are you not “clicking” with the homeowner or rental agent? Are you getting vague answers to your questions? At Padre Getaways, we listen to what you say when you tell us about your ideal accommodations and we work hard to give you what you want. We are knowledgeable about both our rentals and the surrounding areas and would be happy to share that information with you.
