Summary
Most beach rental searches end in a compromise — newer place, wrong size; right size, needs updating. Villas de Laguna skips that trade-off. Finished in 2025, this is one of just four newer two-level townhomes on South Padre Island: three bedrooms, two and a half baths, sleeping 10 without ever pulling out an airbed. Public beach access is two blocks away, and the bay sits directly across the street.
Space
The kitchen is fully equipped with all pots, pans, blender, all utensils etc — and opens directly into the living area so the cook is never cut off from the group. Smart TVs are also set up in the master bedroom, the bunkroom and 3rd guest bedroom
The townhome comes stocked with a starter supply of coffee, creamer, sweetener, decaf, and tea, along with hand soaps, dish soap, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, non-stick cooking spray, and salt and pepper — all starter amounts, though not replenished.
Crisp, clean white towels and linens are provided on all beds, and the tankless water heating system means no waiting around for a hot shower.
One honest note: it is not a massive kitchen and there is no dishwasher, so dishes get done by hand as needed. Don’t forget to bring your charcoal if you plan on using the BBQ pits that are like community park style
Five reasons to book here:
newer finishes throughout: white quartz counters, stainless appliances, open-concept living with a 75" Smart TV and full sectional
Bunkroom built with adults in mind — queen-sized built-in bunks rated to 400 lbs each, not just for kids
Two levels mean real separation between couples and families; the master suite stays on the ground floor for anyone who prefers no stairs
Walk to Coral Reef, Big Donkey Mexican Cantina, Blackbeard’s, & more — and you can fish from shore at the end of the street too
Full-sized washer and dryer included upstairs — plus community use charcoal BBQ pits - harder to find than you would expect at beach rentals in this range
SLEEPING (Up to 10 Guests)
Ground floor master bedroom has a King bed with an en suite full bath and walk-in all tile shower. Upstairs, the second bedroom has two full beds and the third bedroom — the bunkroom — has two built-in queen-sized bunks. Those two upstairs bedrooms share a jack-and-jill full bath with walk-in tile shower, meaning neither room requires a hallway trip to reach it. An airbed with pump is also provided if needed. The 10-guest maximum includes infants and babies.
THE OUTDOORS
There is a small space in front of the townhome to hang. The complex also has a small fenced pool with lounge chairs, and available pool heat from November through April for a small additional fee (we can heat, charged after check in if you desire). We do not provide beach gear, but there is a vendor right on the beach renting chairs and an umbrella for $45 cash per day with no advance reservation needed.
PARKING
Two off-street spaces are included at no charge — a golf cart counts as one vehicle. Street parking is available nearby if needed. Parking here is always free, which is not something the hotels on the island can say.
High-speed WiFi is included. Spectrum is the only provider on the island and service can be spotty — bring a personal hotspot on your cell if you have work that cannot wait.
If the network name SouthPadreTrips is not showing up, a power outage may have reset the router to factory settings; the default network name and password are on a sticker on top of the router, and unplugging it for a few minutes usually resolves it.
PETS
Up to 2 pets are welcome for a small additional fee — please read all house rules carefully before booking if you are bringing an animal, as there are specific requirements. Undisclosed pets will result in eviction so please be kind :) Pets may not be in the common pool area, may not be on furniture nor left alone to bark, & you would agree to pick up doggie do-doo or we do charge a fee LOL so be nice
Please note we have all units here and also others nearby, and can accommodate more than one group — just ask, we would love to help.
DISCOUNTS — JUST ASK
Reduced rates for off-season stays (September 2 – December 22), veterans and active military, and current Texas tackle football coaches at any level — we coached in the Lake Travis and Westlake youth programs for over 19 seasons. Send a message and just ask & GO CAVS!
POLICIES
Primary guest must be 23 or older and must be present at check-in. If you are under 23, you must contact us before booking — exceptions are possible but not guaranteed, and additional requirements apply.
A signed digital rental agreement and valid photo ID are required before check-in; door codes are not released without both. Strict cancellation policy applies. No unregistered guests, no extra vehicles. No smoking, no parties, no loud music at any time. This is not a party property many thanks for understanding!
If you wish to have the pool heater turned on, there is a $25 per day fee which is charged after you book. You must agree to pay for pool heat your entire stay; Understand it does take the pool up to 8 hours to heat up, so you may want to pay the day before arrival if you so desire. If it is under 65 degrees it is unlikely to heat up sufficiently, FYI.
