Perfect rental

This rental had everything we needed for our 10 month baby and it was super close to the beach. Loved that the pool had such a big kiddie space. Renters were very kind and accommodating! We try to come to Padre annually so we will back!!

Beautiful condo/Great location

This rental is exactly as described, but even more beautiful. They had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that they had a wagon and beach chairs to enjoy at the beach. After a day at the beach they had multiple places outside to rinse all the sand off. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub almost daily and usually had it to ourselves. We have stayed at many places on the island, but this is by far our favorite. We look forward to coming back.

We had a great time. The Home was very good. The only thing that was beyond your control was the parking of our vehicle as their was a crew working on the street in front of the property. Thanks for a good week in South Padre Island.

Athena Ares Never Disappoints!

We have been vacationing at this property for over a decade. We love the location, love the property and facilities, and recently had another wonderful stay 5/27/24 through 6/1/24. The unit is well-maintained and super clean. There are tons of fresh towels, pillows, and other linens, and we got a good night's sleep each night in the comfortable beds. You cannot beat the location, just across the street from Beach Access #17 (in my opinion the best stretch of beach on South Padre Island), and the pool, hot tub and outdoor facilities are perfect for when you'd like to skip the sand. It's an easy walk to several shops and restaurants. Most of all, we love that we can bring our Golden-doodle, Archie, along for all of the fun. See you next year!

Another wonderful trip to Athena Ares!

We visit SPI every year around Memorial Day and we always stay at Athena Ares. It’s been 10 years and we just wrapped up another fantastic visit. Beach access 17 (Starlight Circle) is steps away, right across Gulf Blvd, and it leads you to the best stretch of beach on South Padre. Location. Location. Location. You can walk to several restaurants and stores; everything you need is right there. There’s lots to do for kids of all ages! When we’ve enjoyed a long day at the beach, we head back to the condos to enjoy the pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, outdoor TV and pool table. It’s such a great property for families or a group of families. The immaculate units have tons of fresh towels and accessories and are well appointed for your stay. Beach chairs, a wagon, beach towels? Yes. Yes. Yes. Comfy beds throughout - even the sleeper sofa is comfortable! Yep, we love it here and look forward to booking again in 2026! :)

Good stay, worry free and clean

Overall, this is a great condo and stay. Everything was very clean. My family had multiple condos rented and it was a good time for everyone. Pet friendly was great help. I wish pets were allowed in the fenced pool area, but they aren't. My dog's don't like water but it would have been nice to have them off leash. There's a lot of paperwork with the rental agreement. There are a lot of extra fees that are not reflected in the nightly stay price in VRBO. This may be a VRBO transparency issue and not the owners fault. Not a fan of VRBO for this reason. If you need a place for a lot of people, pet friendly, lots of amenities, and on the beach, this is a great place!
