About this apartment rental
I'm sitting on the couch typing this on my laptop, watching and listening to the waves out the large patio door.
Or, I could walk a few steps onto the balcony that overlooks the ocean and see a beautiful courtyard with grills, pool and hot tub. The security gate off the courtyard takes you directly to the beach.
Re-modeled kitchen with granite countertops, new backsplash and stainless appliances in December 2014.
Both bathrooms upgraded in 2014 with walk-in shower in master bath (see pictures).
Walking distance to many restaurants; some as close as a block a way. 'The Wave' is free public transportation that goes all over the island as well as over the bridge to Port Isabel that has a Wal-Mart SuperCenter and HEB for your shopping needs.
Free WiFi in condo; Fully equipped kitchen.
ENJOY!!

Great trip with the kids to end the summer. Condo was as pictured and instructions were clear. We hope to be back next summer!

The condo was exactly as described. Beautiful views. Everything you could need was there. Sooooo much better than staying in a hotel. The rooms were completely quiet, I don't think we ever heard another person while we were there. The staff at the condo was also very polite and attentive. The location is perfect, right in the middle of everyting. Nothing like getting up in the morning and sitting on the balcony with your coffee watching the sun come up. I would highly recommend anyone coming to SPI stay at this condo. Thank you so much to our hosts for a wonderful vacation!

I was craving some sunshine and my husband found this cute place near the beach! It had a separate room with twin beds for our boys, a full kitchen and two bathrooms! The pool was amazing! Seriously the warmest pool we had ever been in! The location was perfect too! We were just a couple minutes from local attractions and many tasty restaurants. We can't wait to go back!!

We had a great stay at the Aquarius condo on South Padre Island, Texas. Initially, there was a bit of confusion with a change to the check-in time. The Host was being kind by letting us in about 4 hours early, but the Condo wasn't quite ready as the staff was still cleaning when we got there. However, the staff worked very diligently to get the cleaning done. That said, we have no complaints. We found the Condo to suit our every need. The views from both balconies were awesome. We enjoyed the heated pool and the hot tub. Having the ocean so close was amazing! We want to make special note of the Condo staff. Johnny and Pedro, and staff were very friendly, courteous, and very helpful when needed. You couldn't ask for a better group of people. We also found the other tenants to be friendly and informative. Thank you to all, including our Host, for a great visit. We want to come back! ;)

It was a great 5 days. Loved the place. Only issue was
just no water pressure in the shower. But it was a great trip and we'd reach for this unit again sometime.

Watched the sun rise and ocean waves from the living room, and watched the sunset from the bedroom - exactly what we wanted!

This was our second stay in the Aquarius beach condo and we loved it even more this time. The unit was clean and kitchen well stocked with cooking implements. The water pressure in the shower was very weak, but otherwise it was the perfect destination.

Beautiful view, fantastic easy ocean access, nice pool. Very central location within walking distance to many restaurants and CVS pharmacy. Free island shuttle stops right by building. Unit is as pictured and the host was very helpful and good communication. Beds comfortable. Central AC. Was a really great stay for our girls trip. Hope to go back someday.

The location on the beach is wonderful. The facility and condo is very clean and well taken care of. Communication with Sue was prompt and helpful before we got there, during our stay and when we left. The coin laundry was easy to use with apple pay, but I didn’t realize how much I would need to do with our damp beach towels etc.

We had a great stay here. The condo was a short walk to the pool and beach, and the pool was heated and overall pretty warm. We had a great view of the full moon coming up and sun rises each morning. The property was nice and clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools and storage, making it easy to cook. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and good as well. The balcony was great for looking at the water and watching sun rises. I would recommend renting a car or golf cart to get around the island but there were also restaurants and shops walking distance as well, and the free bus service. We would definitely come back again, great place to stay with friendly people and beautiful scenery!

This is our 4th stay at the Aquarius but our first stay at this particular condo. With 4 of us the room proved adequate. With 1 full size bath and smaller restroom we had what we needed.
The bedrooms were good with a queen size in one room and 2 twins in the other were fine with TVs in each room. TV in the livingroom provides the most choice of entertainment if needed. DVD players in each room were not utilized.
Access to the beach was quick and easy with parking being the same.
Mornings are perfect for watching sunrise on the beach. A/C kept the place cool. Adequate shower with seating if needed. Dual shower heads are convenient.
All in all I'd recommend this location for location convenience to the beach as well as the main drag and restaurants. Although a studio sized kitchen with a full sized refrigerator has most most items needed to prepare and eat in.
This location made for an enjoyable and entertaining week. We will return.

Cute, clean beachfront condo
The Hahn’s were very responsive and informative from the beginning. This 2 bedroom condo on the beach is adorable, clean, and very well stocked for a comfortable stay. The property is very nice and the gated parking and 24 hour front desk staff let you rest easy with no security worries. We would rent this property again, no questions 😊

Excellent value and location!
We throughly enjoyed our time at the Aquarius condo hosted by Sue. The apartment has just about everything you need: all kitchen appointments, including a coffee maker, cookware, dinnerware, and silverware; cable television on a smart TV; wifi; beach lounge chairs; and a beach umbrella; and cold a/c!
The unit features two separate balconies, one of which has clear southeastern views down the beach, each of which have a few lightweight chairs to enjoy your morning coffee or relax in the shade after a day in the sun.
Bedroom one has a full-size bed and balcony access. Bedroom two has two twin beds and access to the next balcony. Each has a small closet filled with extra supplies and a little room for hanging garments. Both bedrooms have nightstands and dressers for unpacking, and there’s at least one USB port in each room (in the alarm clock).
The unit has one half bath and one full bath with shower only. Unfortunately, the water pressure isn’t great and it doesn’t get very hot. Washing sand off from the beach can be a bit of a chore with low water pressure, but there is a handheld wand to assist, and we managed. The building does not allow hanging towels or wet bathing suits on the balcony rails or furniture, so finding drying space in the bathroom or elsewhere in the unit was tough. I would suggest bringing a few extra rolls of toilet papers, as three grown adults (two grown women) went through the four rolls we were given by the fourth morning.
The location of the building is on the north end of the island, not far from many shops and restaurants, and also not far from the turtle sanctuary. The island has a small metro bus that runs up and down the island, and there’s a stop right outside the condo. The lot is gated and coded for safety, and the building offers luggage carts to help load and unload your items. The building offers a pool, fitness and game room, four different charcoal grill areas, and coin laundry as well. The front desk is staffed around the clock, allowing for check in at anytime. A separate chair/umbrella service is located directly on the beach by the condo and the rates were very reasonable for a full-day rental of shade.
We enjoyed our stay and the accommodations very much. It’s ideal for direct access to the beach and a central location for other businesses. And a pro-tip, it was less expensive to book this unit on VRBO than other rental sites or condos in this same building!
