What's better than beachfront? Our place! We are directly across the street from the beach, so you get the convenience of beachfront without the beachfront prices. You are a shorter walk to the beach from our condo than you would be in the big resorts with 'beachfront' prices.
Come relax and feel the sand between your toes in beautiful South Padre Island. This is the perfect place to get away from it all. Even better, is our location. We are directly across the street from the beach, and there is a beach access just steps from the condo. It's like being beachfront without the prices! There are no hotels around us, so the beach is not as crowded and the neighborhood is quiet.
Stream your favorite apps, ZOOM, eLearn, etc. with high-speed WIFI internet. Our condos are pet friendly and kid friendly. They are also great for a romantic getaway. Are you setting up a girls' weekend or reunion? You can rent out an entire floor or the whole building and have a private vacation!
New upgrades: Keurig coffee maker, Berlin Gardens outdoor pool furniture, 6 beach chairs, 1 Tommy Bahama beach umbrella, 6 beach towels and a beach wagon. Custom outdoor pool table and outdoor TV in the pool area.

This rental is exactly as described, but even more beautiful. They had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that they had a wagon and beach chairs to enjoy at the beach. After a day at the beach they had multiple places outside to rinse all the sand off. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub almost daily and usually had it to ourselves. We have stayed at many places on the island, but this is by far our favorite. We look forward to coming back.

This rental had everything we needed for our 10 month baby and it was super close to the beach. Loved that the pool had such a big kiddie space. Renters were very kind and accommodating! We try to come to Padre annually so we will back!!

The condo was great very spacious and the pool area was awesome. Really close to the beach access and a short walk to wanna wanna which is a plus for us and dedicated parking is a big plus in my book.

We have been vacationing at this property for over a decade. We love the location, love the property and facilities, and recently had another wonderful stay 5/27/24 through 6/1/24. The unit is well-maintained and super clean. There are tons of fresh towels, pillows, and other linens, and we got a good night's sleep each night in the comfortable beds. You cannot beat the location, just across the street from Beach Access #17 (in my opinion the best stretch of beach on South Padre Island), and the pool, hot tub and outdoor facilities are perfect for when you'd like to skip the sand. It's an easy walk to several shops and restaurants. Most of all, we love that we can bring our Golden-doodle, Archie, along for all of the fun. See you next year!

Great location. We had the corner unit, 1st floor. The unit was clean, perfect size, just what we needed. The kitchen is a galley kitchen, but worked just fine. Nice large dining table. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time. The Home was very good. The only thing that was beyond your control was the parking of our vehicle as their was a crew working on the street in front of the property. Thanks for a good week in South Padre Island.

This was our second stay at Athena Ares, and we likely will continue coming here for years to come. It’s rare to find a condo that allows big dogs, is clean, well appointed and maintained and close to the beach. We couldn’t ask for more! Management is friendly and very responsive. Thank you for another great stay!

We rented 4 units for ourselves and the families of our three daughters. The condos were well equipped and very convenient to the beach. The pool and patio area were great for getting everyone together for dinner. We would definitely stay here again.

We’ve stayed at this property 6 or 7 times over the years. It feels like our home away from home. It’s right across the street from the best beach access in South Padre; it’s clean, spacious, and well-appointed. Tons of towels, comfy beds, and everything you need for a wonderful beach vacation. We always enjoy the pool, hot tub, pool table and grill area after a long beach day, and especially love that our four-legged friend is welcome in the condo. It’s in a safe area and perfect for couples and families alike. Can’t wait for our next visit!

This was our second time staying at Athena Ares 101. Everything about the experience was better than the first time. The location, pool, and service can't be beat. As an example, we had a large storm come thru on our first night, causing damage all over the island, including near the pool. Martin himself and his crew were out early the next morning fixing the damage and ensuring everything was OK.
We will be back to this wonderful property. (And do yourself a favor. Read the coffee table book about the history of their family and this property. Knowing the history, it's an honor to stay here)

Great Experience all around. The pool/grounds were cleaned daily, any issues or questions were resolved quickly by property manager, easy access to ocean, all of the group had a good time. Stress free and easy going. Would come back to this location and stay.

As first time visitors to SPI we really had no idea what to expect. Owners answered all our questions very quickly. After looking at hotels, resorts, VRBOS we settled on this place and couldn't have been happier. It's just so much more relaxing being in a home environment Pool was awesome, beach access literally right across the street! Very close and convenient. I just can't say enough positive things. Only thing negative on our trip, we could have used a little more sun. Thank you again, we look forward to coming back!

This was my 3rd time staying at this condo. It has everything I need for some r&r, lovely property, steps to the beach. Wonderful pool and jacuzzi. Owners and caretakers respond right away and take care of any question you may have. Can't say enough good things about this place. Also great for large family gatherings as it offers multiple condos in its complex. Thank you to Sandy, Alex and Bonnie. Y'all are the best!

Just like the last time we stayed here, we had a wonderful time. Everything was top notch and clean. We didn't have need for anything. Pool and outdoor space was great too! We are already planning our next trip. Thanks again!

Great condo
The location was very convenient to the beach. The pool was also a bonus because it was a large area for many guests and yet you never felt crowded. Allowing small pets was also a plus. The floors were very clean and the towels were very nice. The showers worked very well ie. good water pressure, good drainage, etc…. We frequent SPI multiple times a year and this will definitely be our new go to location going forward.

So close to the beach
The pool area was amazing; we used the Weber gas grill one night while hanging out at the pool. They have beach towels, beach chairs, beach wagon for your use. Perfect! Streaming access, and wi fi. Keurig, washer & dryer. Pack light but bring laundry pods & dryer sheets (or buy when you get into town). Can't wait for our next trip to South Padre!

Perfect place to kick off summer!
These condos have everything you and your family need (and more) to enjoy a beach vacation! This was our large groups 3rd year in a row to stay at Athena Ares and I think that says it all! :)

Great House, Great Location, Great Value
We go to SPI a few times a year and have stayed at other rentals and at hotels. From the communication after booking to the beautiful interior to the fantastic location, this property was a great experience. The interior was modern, clean, and well stocked. The pool was top notch. You are only steps away from the beach without paying the beach front prices. We loved it and would definitely want to stay here again.

Athena Ares - the ONLY place to stay!!
A beautiful, well kept property! I hope I don't leave anything out. The owners, Martin & Diane are very kind & professional. Great communication! My husband & I with our two fur kids enjoyed our stay tremendously. Condo was so clean & well kept. Furnishings & decor well chosen. A/C kept us cool.
Techy husband was impressed with WI-FI and streaming options.
Kitchen had everything we needed. Not only did they offer a regular coffee pot PLUS a Keurig! King bed was very comfortable! We loved sitting on lanai with our dogs, even the table & adirondack chairs were comfy. We loved being so close to beach access. We loved the quiet neighborhood. The large area of plush green grass (in front of pool) was a favorite for our dogs to do their business & roll on their backs bc they were having a blast! Easy access to outside shower & hose to wash off feet before entry to condo. They whole property is well lite for your security, especially when taking your pups out at night before bed. (just remember to always pick up after your pups) Everything in condo was AS ADVERTISED! A+

1st time visiting South Padre We will be back :)
My family very much enjoyed your property. Very clean felt like we were staying in a home away from home instead of a random hotel. Had everything we could possibly need. Wagon, beach towels, chairs, umbrella were a great bonus. Super close to the beach. Pool area was beautiful.
