Weekend Trip to North South Padre Island Paradise

John was an amazing host. This is just what we were looking for, a quick 5 min drive to the beach, no sand in the travel trailer, and access to a pool. Just a heads up, the connection for the electric is in the garage and the sewer hook up and water are on the entry side to the rear of the trailer which was no problem for us,. we have a 22’ RPod 192. Our 20’ sewer, 25” fresh water hose and 25” electrical cord was just perfect in reaching the connections, just be aware that you may need longer accessories if your trailer is larger than ours. I highly recommend John’s spot.

John, Thank you so much for being the perfect host! My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves. From walking on the beach to Kayaking the channel, we also really loved swimming in your pool every evening until dark to watch the stars. Honestly your beautiful place had it all! Thank you for the recommendations for the best fishing spots. The locals always know the best places… The neighborhood is really nice. Next time we will bring our bikes. Pros; quiet, beautiful and tons of things to do Cons; we had to leave😢 Thank you John for your hospitality and we will definitely be back! Michael and Shannon

Thank you John for a wonderful fun stay. We parked our camper and enjoyed the backyard with pool, hot tub, fishing on the canal, sunset/views deck, grilling - lots of sitting areas. It was a beautiful two nights stay. Kayaking will have to do next time we just ran out of time lol. Beach very close. Our hoses did not reach to dump camper but no big deal we dumped at the state park nearby. So full hookup. We will visit again. Don’t know about WiFi did not need it. Enjoy I highly recommend specially the price.

Bring your family or friends. Bring your own boat What a gorgeous 10 star sight. The swimming pool was 20 ft from the salt water and your boat dock. There was a swimming pool with sun screen. Salt water fishing and craving was greatly enjoyed. Bring your bait net and watch plenty of mullet jumping. Covered patio with a prop a new g rill. Don't forget the hot tub. BACK TO FISHING FROM THE CRISP CLEAN POOL. TRANQUILITY. THANKS
