Thank you for looking at our bright spacious lil' efficiency condo at Gulfview
I.
It is located on the 2nd floor, there is an elevator though you are welcome to
walk. 2 flights of stairs.
An efficiency condo means that the kitchen/dining flow right into the bedroom
area - it is not separate. There is a nice queen bed for mom & dad, a pull out
couch for the kiddos, and we do provide an extra airbed if you. have a grumpy
teen coming along :) Max allowed is 5 people (yes a baby is a person!) as that
is max building HOA allows - sorry. no exceptions.
Gulfview I is a very clean, well maintained condo complex with private beach
access for all guests, a crystal clear/clean pool (not heated) as well as 2
heated outdoor Texas Sized jacuzzi tubs, one for family use and one adult
only. The beach is about 100 yards away. Very nice seaside grill at Holiday
Inn you can access as well for lunch and drinks.
One of the most popular amenities here is you can BBQ by the pool! There are
half a dozen BBQ pits (bring charcoal) located by pool with a covered patio
and seating/tables. Very hard to find on the Island
If it is gloomy out, there is an inside small community center where guests
can chat, play cards or board games, or do puzzles or simply read to get
outside.
The condo has a full sized fridge and stove, is fully equipped with
pots/pans/forks/plates/etc as well as microwave. There is unfortunately no
dishwasher here.
The patio has 2 chairs to watch the sunrise or sunset, and overlooks the
parking lot and Schlitterbahn waterpark which is now called Beach Park SPI. it
is walkable.
*Free Parking Off Street

Please read, understand and agree to ALL house rules prior to booking.
Thank you very much for considering us!
Gulfview I requires all guests to have HOA security wristbands. South Padre
Trips pre-collects this fee before your arrival for convenience: $25 per
person, fully refundable when you return both your wristbands and your parking
permit at checkout.
Please take a photo of them left in the unit at checkout — that photo is your
protection for the refund. During March and Easter week (Semana Santa / Holy
Week), the wristband fee is $35 per person and is non-refundable. Guests must
pay security directly in cash in March and during Easter on arrival may do so,
though the cash rate runs higher than what we pre-collect. This is a complex
HOA fee outside of our control — we want it fully disclosed before you book so
there are no surprises.
Please note: If you are NOT 25 years of age you must contact us prior to
booking for us to authorize the reservation as you will be subjected to
additional damage deposit and/or damage coverage protection, plan fees, as
well as additional stipulations, IF WE ACCEPT RESERVATION AT ALL.
Please contact us prior to making a reservation not after about these
stipulations above as we have a strict cancel policy. We are fully disclosing
this prior to booking and require all guests to read and agree to all house
rules as well as submit a e-sign rental agreement contract with a pic of your
photo ID to age verify. This is not optional.
We want to make you aware this is small efficiency condo and is not a true one
bedroom condo to ensure that proper expectations are met and you understand
this is a value priced budget space less than perfect
While the space is totally functional, it's just that it does not have a
bedroom as its own private room and kitchen / bed and the couch / TV one room.
Yes the bathroom of course has it's own space with a locking door.
Guest access
unit inside, common areas of pool hot tub inside community center, beach
access point

Island though we have the highest speed/quality available.
