The king-sized primary bedroom features an extra-large executive desk, vintage dresser and large smart TV, and a gorgeous ensuite bathroom with a walk-in closet. The queen-size second bedroom showcases a second private workspace and a full-size closet with French doors. The third bedroom boasts two sets of bunk beds (4 beds total) with two dressers and a walk-in closet for ample storage space. Both bathrooms are equipped with luxurious modern fixtures, plenty of storage, and a spacious walk-in glass shower. The secondary bathroom also has a full size stackable washer dryer.
This kitchen has everything: quartz countertops and travertine backsplash, an undermount sink with pull-down faucet/sprayer, all new stainless appliances (gas oven and stove, garbage disposal, full fridge, and dishwasher), and ample storage space behind the light ash cabinets. Dine on the leather stools at the kitchen island or at the adjacent vintage dining area. The connecting living space boasts soaring ceilings with exposed cedar beams, a smart ceiling fan, extra comfy leather sofa, and a 65" smart TV.
THE PROPERTY: Please note that Casa Cactus A is one of three units in a private home. Your space is entirely your own, however you may be next door to other guests. Casa Cactus B is a 2 bed 2 bath home, and Casa Cactus C is a 1 bed 1 bath home. Please contact us directly if you are interested in renting the entire house for large groups.
INDOOR AMENITIES: we provide all bed linens, shower towels and pool towels, dishware, cookware, bath gels, and coffee + tea. Coffee maker is a stainless Cuisinart drip machine. We provide two different high-speed wifi networks with Spectrum. There are remote controlled ceiling fans in each room, and our air conditioning is connected to a Nest system which can be controlled from the smart thermostat on the wall.
OUTDOOR AMENITIES: Had a long day? Enjoy the sunsets from our patio chairs overlooking our cactus garden. Going fishing? Cook up your catch at our outdoor charcoal grill or enjoy drinks at our outdoor dining area. Charcoal is not included, but all grilling tools are. Had a blast of a beach day? Rinse off at the two outdoor showers located on the right side of the house before letting your cares float away in our brand new swimming pool, or work on your tan at our poolside lounge space. Please note that all outdoor amenities are shared amongst guests of Casa Cactus A, B, and C (it is a SHARED pool for guests from all three homes.)
LOCATION: This home is in a quiet neighborhood in Port Isabel, Texas. We are next door to a local park with a walking track, playground, and basketball court. Grocery stores are 1 mile away and we are a 2 minute drive from the bay-front restaurants in Port Isabel and the entrance to the bridge that connects Port Isabel to South Padre Island. The benefit of staying in Port Isabel is the tranquility of the bay and also access to the shops in the mainland without needing to deal with the noise or traffic on the Island, however you are just a few minutes drive from all the excitement and fireworks. There is a free shuttle bus that will take you from Port Isabel to the beach.
THINGS TO DO: Everything. Surfing, fishing, go-karts, zip-lines, mini-golf, horseback riding, waterpark, boogie boarding, tacos and margaritas, beachside and bayside restaurants and cafes, sunset cruises, and of course miles and miles of soft sand. Check out my guide to South Padre Island for more ideas and attractions.
Port Isabel is a tropical oasis located off the southern tip of Texas. It offers the unsurpassed beauty of the Laguna Madre Bay. It is the ideal year-round destination for visitors seeking a getaway from the daily grind.
