Summary
Kick off your sandals at Ling by the Beach 1 and walk half a block, about 250 steps, to the beach on South Padre Island. This near-new, two-level townhome (the left-side unit at 110 E. Ling) has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, allows up to 12, and shares its pool and backyard with just one neighboring townhome. When the sun goes down, dozens of bars and restaurants are an easy stroll away, so the car can stay put all week.

THE MAIN FLOOR
Step inside and the first thing you notice is how clean and bright it feels. This newer build was fully remodeled for discerning tastes, and the whole main floor works as one big gathering space. Sink into the huge sectional and log in to your own apps or catch the big game on the large flat-screen Smart TV. When it's time for a screen-free night, a stack of board games is waiting for you and the kiddos.
The kitchen is where a lot of the memories get made. It's fully equipped with all the pots, pans and dishes you need, so cooking a few meals in saves you time and money. Pull up a stool at the eat-in counter, and when the crew outgrows it, the dining room table takes the overflow. A half bath on this level means nobody has to run upstairs especially useful when using backyard & pool
THE POOL AND BACKYARD
Slide open the door to the covered patio and you're out of the sun with the pool just steps away. The privately fenced backyard has ample room for both townhomes, a cornhole set ready for a family tournament, and a separate BBQ grill for each side. Please bring your own LP propane, as it isn't provided.
THE BEDROOMS AND BATHS
Head up the stairs to find all three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master has a king bed and its own en suite full bath. The second bedroom has a bunk bed system with a twin over a full, plus a pull-out twin trundle. The third bedroom has two full-size beds. The other full bath sits off the hallway, and you'll find a modern, welcoming walk-in shower that matches the rest of this relatively new home.
That's six beds, and we also provide an airbed and pump just in case, bringing you to seven. The oversized sectional downstairs is not a sleeper sofa, but it's plenty big for a late-night straggler. Fresh, clean linens and all towels are provided for the beds; if you plan to use the airbed or the couch, please bring bedding for those.
