About this apartment rental

Alta Vista is a beautifully restored historical property built in 1931. Constructed of timber, masonry and stucco, it is similar to many buildings in Old Mexico from that time period with it's Colonial style, arched entries, private covered porches and courtyard.

Our family purchased the property in 2003 which had been neglected for many years and began a complete authentic restoration. The structure has been completely renovated and most of the original features preserved including the beautiful oak flooring, exterior masonry and doors.

The property has been modernized to with central air conditioning, on-demand hot water, TV, WI-FI internet and swimming pool.

The kitchens and bathrooms feature beautiful talavera tile and saltillo tile floors which we brought with us from trips to Central Mexico.

This Apartment has a comfortable king size bed, queen sleeper sofa and a set of twin bunk beds. All bed tops are freshly laundered before your arrival. You have the convenience of a fully stocked kitchen.

Outside you will find lush tropical gardens, the courtyard swimming pool, lounge chairs and umbrellas. There is an outside kitchen with a wood burning churrascaria style barbecue, gas grill, and bar.

There is a cool breezeway with rocking chairs for relaxing. The on site laundry room is handy for those on extended stay.

We can offer suggestions for all types of activities, restaurants, directions and points of interest. We know Port Isabel, South Padre Island, and the Rio Grande Valley very well and gladly share our knowledge of the area to enhance your stay.

**IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ** COLLECTION OF HOTEL/MOTEL (LODGING) CITY TAX

As of April 1, 2019, Homeaway was advised that they can no longer collect the lodging tax imposed by the city, however, they are working on getting this issue resolved as quickly as possible. There has always been a mandatory collection of 12% Hotel Occupancy tax, for both state and the city of Port Isabel. We, as the host, must still collect the city of Port Isabel's 6% and remit that to the city for each rental, as before, but we must do it with a separate invoice generated after the booking. You will receive this payment request/invoice after you have booked. It isn't costing you more than before. This is what has always been collected but we just have to do it differently now, until they have the resolved. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Wonderful little hideaway
Wonderful little hideaway
A wonderful place to stay. Very cozy and cute, enjoyed unit 4 immensely! Kids loved having the pool right out the back door, we enjoyed the creature comforts of home! Enjoyed having the coffee maker for mornings and enjoyed having separate spaces like the bedroom and the bunks for the kids. Location is great, away from the crowded island, but not too far! We plan on coming back and bringing more family next time!

Our stay here was cozy and the place was very beautiful. We had a very nice pool and the rooms were very well kept for being a 1931 building. I enjoyed the outside kitchen the most! Highly recommend this historical beautiful place!

Staying at El Gallo unit #4 was excellent and far exceeded our expectations. We appreciated all of the kitchenware and the grill outside was perfect for dinner after a beach day. The pool was refreshing and the owners were very friendly and attentive. The unit was clean, had plenty of towels for pool and shower use, and there was plenty of room for family game time in the living room. The bunk beds are in the same area as the main bedroom so it was nice to be close to the kids at night. We cannot wait to return again! Thank you.

We are so glad we came across Alta Vista. We stayed three nights in the El Gallo unit, everything was perfect. The restorations are beautiful, it’s only a short drive over to South Padre, and local stores and restaurants are just up the road. The pool area is gorgeous! Everything was perfect, we will definitely be back again for the next vacation to South Padre!
