Ground Floor 2BR, No Stairs, Pets OK, Beach SPI

Summary:

Habitat 1 is an oversized, ground-floor space with two-bedroom, two full baths condo at 108 E Padre Blvd — no stairs, no gate, and your gear goes straight from the car to the patio with the pool thirty feet away.

Just over half a block to public beach access. In-unit washer and dryer, space for up to 8, and up to 2 pets welcome. While not a brand-new remodel — many updates & the price reflects that honestly, and so does everything you get for it.



The Space:

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils for home cooking. A starter supply of coffee, filters, creamer, sweetener, tea, cooking spray, salt, and pepper is included, along with toiletries, soaps, and trash bags - starter amounts though not replenished. Clean, crisp linens & fresh towels are provided on all standard beds - please do bring some additional bedding if you plan on using the couch and/or airbed.



The unit is all tile throughout superior to those with allergies. This kitchen opens straight to the larger than average living room, and you will enjoy over 1100 sq feet vs the standard 800 ft you will find in most South Padre 2 bedroom condos.



Five reasons to book:

King bed in the master with en suite full bath; queen-over-queen adult-sized bunk bed plus a single trundle pull-out in the second bedroom — sleeping that works for mixed adult groups, couples, and families in any combination not including a couch & a provided airbed & pump just in case



Relaxing patio with plywood Adirondack chairs with a partial pool view — the pool is non-heated and fairly basic, but the elevated adult sundeck above it is a quiet retreat most guests don’t realize is there; both are plus no walking through the complex to reach them



Renovated kitchen with new white stone counters and appliances, open to the living area — eat-in counter with room for a laptop in case of some work to complete, Large smart TV in the living room, and enough seating for the whole group to wind down together



Walkable location to Kelly’s Irish Pub is at the end of the block for drink specials and late-night food; a short walk further puts you at Sea Turtle Inc, Rockin’ Cigar Bar, and the beach strip with Clayton’s Beach Bar, Barry’s Beach Bar, and Bar Louie



South Padre Trips manages many units right here at Habitat — if your group needs more than one condo, let us help you put every at the same complex in one place, it is one conversation and one team; message us and we will work it out



SLEEPING (Up to 8 Guests)

Primary bedroom: King bed with en suite full bath. Second bedroom: queen-over-queen adult-sized bunk bed and a single trundle pull-out — bring your own bedding for the trundle, pull-out couch in the room or airbed if you plan on using. The 8-guest maximum does include infants and children. Clearly this space wins on number of beds



NEIGHBORHOOD:

As east side or beach side of the super busy Padre Blvd, there are no busy streets to cross to get to the public beach access point end of the block. We do suggest bringing a beach wagon for your gear to make life easier



Super close to -

* Kelly’s Irish Pub for excellent Reubens and chicken tacos. Kitchen up real late too, plus darts and pool in case of any rain - less than 1 block

* Captains Cove fine dining on the water. 1.5 blocks away - seafood, craft cocktails



Generally walkable to -

* Clayton’s Beach Bar - about 1 mile down the beach north

* Bar Louie at the Marriott - same as Clayton’s near next door

* Barry’s Beach Bar at the Hilton Garden Inn

Also if you have kids en tow, “Must See” is Sea Turtle Inc, 2 blocks away the largest sea turtle rehab project on the Gulf Coast. Small fee, interactive, great rainy day activity.



PARKING

One reserved spot in front of the unit accommodates a full-sized truck or two smaller vehicles — parking is free here, unlike hotels on the island that charge for every car. Habitat does not have additional guest parking beyond that one spot, so plan accordingly. Free overflow parking is always available at the SPI Convention Center, post office, and occasionally available less than a block away free along Gulf Blvd, particularly on weekdays.



PETS

Up to 2 pets are welcome. Please inquire before booking — specific rules and fees apply and must be confirmed prior to your reservation.

High-speed WIFI is included throughout the condo; please note that Spectrum service can be spotty at times, so come prepared with a hotspot on your phone if you have must-do work as it can go down.



DISCOUNTS — JUST ASK

Reduced rates for off-season stays (September 15 – December 15), veterans and active military, and current Texas tackle football coaches (our sons play for Lake Travis in Austin — Go Cavs!). Send a message and ask.



POLICIES

Primary guest must be 23 or older. Guests under 23 require prior approval before booking and a substantial additional refundable damage deposit, if approved at all. A signed digital rental agreement and valid photo ID are required before check-in. Strict cancellation policy applies. Quiet hours run from 9 PM to 9 AM. No smoking, no parties, no loud music at any time. The property is security patrolled as well. Thank you for your understanding.
