Space

There isn't a better way to describe this space than cute & cozy! Located at Habitat Condos which is less than 1 block to public beach access, you will enjoy a great pool and community sundeck.

This condo is a 2nd floor unit which is very quiet as no noise above. On the main floor is a half bath, with a fairly open concept & large kitchen that opens to the living room and patio with all tile floors, stainless appliances and granite counters.

The eat in counter is great if you have some work to do on the road, with included high speed wifi/internet as well as local cable to catch the game.
This condo has a high top workspace for working remote too. There are two very cool features of this condo too - a working gas grill and a washer and dryer stackable in the condo. Please do bring propane tank though if you want to use grill

The kitchen is fully equipped ready for meal prep after a long day at the beach. Very comfortable living room with large couch that has a fold out full sized bed as well.

For sleeping the master features a King sized bed, while down stairs there is the fold out couch.

The patio off the living room backs up to rather green space below we think you'll enjoy as well.

This is actually a 2 bedroom / 2.5 bathroom condo, however one of the bedrooms is not available for use and remains unoccupied during your stay as a lock off. Understand that the bedroom you will utilize is a master bedroom with a King bed and attached en suite full bathroom. While we do allow up to 5 people, it is suited for a family with children not 5 adults. A full sized airbed is provided - bring bedding if you want to use.

This condo does have a washer & dryer in the unit for your convenience as well

*Free Parking Off Street

While we have the best available Internet/wifi from spectrum they are the only provider on the island and up time and coverage can be spotty at times we want you to be aware of that

If you can't find the network name SouthPadreTrips it's usually means we had a power outage and when the power comes back on It typically defaults the router to the factory network name and password, which is located on a sticker on top of the router.

Generally, if you reboot the router by unplugging it for a few minutes and plugging it back in it will pop up
