NEW! Tranquil Turquoise Retreat | House in South Padre Island

Tranquil Turquoise Retreat at 206 W Huisache is one of the very few three-
bedroom pool home on South Padre Island with a private saltwater heated pool
and spa. Three king beds, space for up to 12 across three levels, with a gas
BBQ grill, a kitchenette right off the pool deck, and patios on every floor —
including views of the weekend fireworks. Fully fenced backyard, 1.5 blocks to
the beach.
THE SPACE
The layout rewards a group that genuinely wants to spread out. The second
floor is the heart of it — an open-concept living room with a large Smart TV
and an oversized sofa, a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances
and tile counters built for real home-cooked meals, multiple dining areas with
a breakfast bar and a full dining table so the whole group can sit down
together, and a separate wet bar area off the living room with conversational
seating — the right spot for evening cocktails when the kids have claimed the
couch.
High ceilings run throughout, the art is tasteful, and the furnishings were
updated with care. The ground floor has a kitchenette with a small beverage
fridge that opens directly onto the pool deck — a genuinely convenient detail
you appreciate most on day three when nobody wants to walk upstairs for a
refill. The third floor holds the private master suite, elevated and quiet
above the rest of the house.
Central air-conditioning, a private washer and dryer in the unit — no laundry
detergent is provided, so plan to bring your own. Please note that garage
access is not included with this rental.
FIVE REASONS TO BOOK:
The saltwater pool is the detail that separates this home from every other
heated pool rental on the island. No chlorine smell, no red eyes, no itchy
skin — just a turquoise pool in a fully fenced backyard lined by palms, with
an attached spa. Optional heating is available for a small addtl fee (Oct 1 to
Apr 1) and applied to the entire stay
Three bedrooms and every single one has a king bed — not a queen, not bunks.
Add the full-sized pull-out couch, a queen airbed, and two single rollaway
beds and you can arguably have 12 guests across three floors. The layout works
very well for two families who want to share a trip without sharing a floor.
Three stories of living space with covered patios off every level, plus a wet
bar area with conversational seating off the living room for the adults who
need to be somewhere other than the couch. On weekend evenings, the upper
balconies deliver a front-row view of the island fireworks without going
anywhere.
A gas BBQ grill on the outdoor patio with a ground-floor kitchenette just
steps from the pool — everything you need for a cookout without tracking into
the main kitchen. Bring your LP tank and the setup is complete. Prep inside,
grill outside, swim immediately after.
A quiet bayside street ten blocks from the entertainment district — reasonably
close to everything, none of the noise right outside your window. One well-
mannered dog is welcome; contact us before booking to review the pet rules and
we will get you set up.
THE POOL
A saltwater pool is not a marketing headline — it is something you notice the
first afternoon. No chlorine smell on the patio, no red eyes on the kids at
dinner, no skin irritation after a long swim. This is the only three-bedroom
rental in this comparison set offering saltwater, and it shows in every
detail: the turquoise color, the softness of the water, the fact that people
stay in longer than they planned. The spa connects directly to the pool for a
complete backyard oasis.
The yard is fully enclosed, lined by palms, and sized for ample outdoor
seating around the water — the setup for afternoon swims after the beach when
you need somewhere to land a group of 12 without any coordination required.
Pool and spa heating is optional at $25 per day, but must be applied to the
full length of your stay. Consider heating a day prior to arrival as the pool
takes 6 to 8 hours to reach temperature, so factor that into your first-day
plans. If outside air temperatures drop below 60 degrees, heating may not be
adequate regardless of the setting.
THE PATIOS
Three levels, three outdoor spaces — a rare architectural layout for South
Padre Island, where most vacation rentals top out at two floors. The ground
level opens directly onto the pool deck and backyard. The second level has a
sun-soaked lanai off the living room, the kind of covered porch that earns the
most time on a trip because it sits between the air-conditioning and the open
air and does both jobs reasonably well. The third floor offers the most
private and elevated outdoor perch in the house.
On weekend evenings, the upper balconies earn their place in a way no indoor
room can. The island fireworks are visible from up here — a spontaneous show
that turns an ordinary evening into a trip moment without any tickets,
driving, or planning. It just happens, and you are in the right seat for it.
THE BBQ
The gas BBQ grill is set up on the outdoor patio for the cookout evenings that
tend to become the most talked-about nights of a trip. We do not provide the
LP propane tank — bring your own or pick one up at a local hardware store,
both of which are a short drive from the property.
The ground-floor kitchenette is steps away for staging, the pool is right
behind you, and the patio seating handles the whole group. A cookout with 12
people works best when prep, grill, and swim are all within twenty feet of
each other. This setup delivers that.
SLEEPING (Up to 12 Guests)
Master bedroom, third floor: King bed, private, the quietest room in the
house.
Second bedroom: King bed.
Third bedroom: King bed. All three bedrooms have king beds — not a common
arrangement in a home that sleeps 12, and one of the first things guests
mention.
Additional sleeping: one pull-out couch that folds to a full-sized bed in the
living room, a queen-sized airbed, and two single rollaway beds. Plan to bring
your bedding for the pull-out and airbeds — bedding for those surfaces is not
provided though you may stop by our office and we can provide.
Maximum occupancy is 12 guests, and infants count in that number. Worth saying
plainly: this home is most comfortable for 12 guests when children are in the
group — 12 adults is a tighter arrangement, and we want your group to arrive
with accurate expectations. You cannot exceed max occupancy; doing so is
grounds for eviction with no refund.
All bed linens, blankets, bath towels, face towels, and hand towels are
provided for the permanent sleeping surfaces. Starter supplies: dishwasher
pods, trash bags, coffee, filters, creamer, sweetener, basic soaps and
shampoos — starter amounts only, not replenished during your stay.
LOCATION
The Tranquil Turquoise Retreat sits on the bayside of South Padre Island at
206 W Huisache — a quiet, residential pocket of the island roughly ten blocks
from the entertainment district. Beach access is an easy 1.5-block walk. The
tradeoff is intentional and worth it: no bar traffic outside the windows at
midnight, but every restaurant, shop, and attraction on the island is still a
short drive or golf cart ride away.
South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center, Andy Bowie County Park, Beach
Park at Isla Blanca — formerly Schlitterbahn, one of the most recognized
waterparks in Texas — and the South Padre Island Golf Club are all within easy
driving distance. The island dining covers every craving: fresh Gulf seafood,
waterfront bars, beloved breakfast spots, and local favorites that repeat
visitors plan their trips around.
PARKING
Two off-street parking spaces are included at no charge — free, unlike hotels
on South Padre Island that all charge per car. The maximum of two vehicles is
strictly enforced; a golf cart counts as a vehicle toward this limit. Street
parking is not available at this address — vehicles parked on the road will be
towed with no exceptions. Plan your group's vehicle count before arrival.
Please note we have multiple homes and or condos you can rent you more than
one. Inquire — we would love to help you out!
High-speed WiFi is included throughout the home; 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. As we are on an island, we do not
provide reimbursement or compensation for WiFi or internet outages.
DISCOUNTS — JUST ASK
Reduced rates for off-season stays of four nights or more (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
before booking and ask.
POLICIES
Primary guest must be 23 or older. Guests under 23 require prior approval
before booking — an additional substantial refundable damage deposit applies
if approved.
Maximum occupancy is 12 guests, infants included. You cannot exceed max
occupancy; violation is grounds for eviction with no refund. Maximum of two
vehicles including golf carts — street parking results in towing, no
exceptions.
One dog is welcome at this property with specific rules — contact us before
booking to review the pet policy and we will be happy to walk you through it.
A pet fee (if approved) of $75 is assessed for additional cleaning.
A signed digital rental agreement and valid photo ID are required before door
codes are released prior to check in. You must read and agree to all house
rules prior to booking — failing to do so is not grounds for a cancellation or
refund.
We are more than happy to answer questions before you book. Strict
cancellation policy applies. No smoking anywhere on the property. No parties.
No loud music at any time. This is a luxury family property — the security
patrol at night enforces this. Check-in is 3 PM, check-out is 11 AM.
