Vacations are fun. At least they should be.
Take your family of 4 to a hotel, lug your bags around, cram yourself into a tiny elevator with 10 smelly people, feel obligated to tip every person in a uniform. That is just the check-in.
Next try to find a quite place to read the paper and have a cup of coffee – no chance. Every time you turn around, someone is asking for a tip or charging something to your room.
Mealtime – $15.95 each, extra for drinks.
Want a snack? The minibar has some great peanuts — for $12.
Vacation rentals by owner are the way to go.
Why rent a comfortable condo from a vacation home owner? Instead of 4 people in 200 square feet of hotel room, get a 1000 square foot apartment with 2 TV’s and a nice kitchen. The price for a condo is often less than the price of a hotel an will hold more people comfortably. You will save a bunch of money and be more comfortable.
Renting from a vacation home owner is like hanging out at your friend’s beach house for the weekend. You will feel like a guest instead of part of the herd.

As a real estate professional at South Padre Island, I am one of the first people that newcomers meet. I can honestly say that people who rent direct from owners consistently report better experiences than those who rent from hotels and agencies. When you rent direct from owners, you are staying at their home on the island, and they will make you feel like a guest. I am well-acquainted with these owners and have watched their progress and success over a period of several years. I am happy to recommend them as your hosts and their condo as your vacation destination.
