About this property

NEW! Private Pool * BBQ * Steps to Beach

  • Half an easy block from the beach on South Padre Island, Sparky’s Pool House

    is a two-level townhome value-priced for families who want real space without

    resort prices. It is an older property with character and a few quirks, but it

    is very clean and allows up to 12. East Mesquite Street is among the most

    walkable on the island, and public beach access is 100 steps east at the end

    of the block — under two minutes on foot. Two levels, three bedrooms, and a

    driveway for two cars.

    Five reasons to book:



    Private pool with a BBQ area off the patio — bring your own grill and cook

    outside. A private pool at this price point on South Padre Island is a very

    short list.

    Two levels keep couples and families on separate floors — the right setup when

    different groups are sharing the space and everyone wants a little breathing

    room.

    Josephine’s Kitchen, Cafe on the Beach, and a Dollar General are all within a

    short walk — past guests say once you park, you likely won’t need the car

    again.

    Beds for every configuration — queens, doubles, a single, and a futon across

    the rooms, with an airbed in the closet for the group that runs over.

    Up to 2 dogs welcome for a fee — a private pool property on SPI that also

    takes pets is genuinely rare.



    THE LAYOUT

    Ground floor has a large bedroom with two queen beds and a full bath right

    next door, a galley-style kitchen, a living room with Smart TV, and a patio

    door that opens directly to the pool area and seating. That patio becomes the

    hub of the stay.

    Upstairs: the master bedroom has a queen bed and a twin futon, a Smart TV, and

    a full ensuite bath that is a brand new tub/shower combo as of June 2026. The

    second bedroom has two double beds. The third bedroom has one double and one

    single — a natural fit for teens or a solo traveler in the group. There is a

    non pull out couch as well as a provided airbed and pump just in case. Please

    do bring additional bedding of your own if you plan on using couch or airbed



    To set proper expectations: the inside of this townhome is dated. It is not

    renovated or polished accepting the new tub/shower surround as well the new

    front door. .It is clean and functional, and the value is in the layout, the

    pool, and the location — not the finishes.

    Please note the 2 levels as the master bedroom is upstairs, though one bedroom

    is on the main level. While we do allow up to 12 people, there is not adequate

    provided sleeping space for that many



    THE POOL

    Pool depth runs 3 to 5 feet throughout. The seating area wraps around it and

    connects back through the patio to the living room, making it easy to drift in

    and out all day. There is a BBQ space here as well — bring your own charcoal

    or gas setup and clean up when you are done. We do not provide a grill.



    KITCHEN & WIFI

    The kitchen is stocked for real cooking: pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cooking

    spray, salt and pepper, and coffee with filters. It is a galley layout and not

    open to the living room, but everything needed for a proper meal is here.

    WiFi is the highest-tier available on the island. Outages can happen

    occasionally — bring a phone hotspot if work cannot wait during your stay.



    BASICS

    The property requires stairs to reach the upper level. Maximum occupancy is 12

    including children and infants, though the space is most comfortable with

    fewer adults. Parking fits two vehicles in the driveway and is always free — a

    golf cart counts as one vehicle, unlike hotels on the island that charge for

    every car.

    Street parking is not permitted. SPI beaches allow pop-up tents and small

    wagons — recommended for hauling gear, as beach toys and beach towels are not

    provided.

    Security patrol runs from 9 PM to 3 AM for noise and vehicles. This is not a

    party house — unregistered guests and noise complaints result in eviction.

    Please ask any questions before booking, not after thank you for your

    consideration

    Please note we have multiple units close by and can accommodate more than one

    group — just ask, we would love to help.



    PETS

    Up to 2 dogs are welcome for a $75 fee per pet. Please disclose before booking

    — undisclosed pets result in eviction, so be kind. Dogs cannot be left alone

    in or out to bark, may not be on furniture and you must pick up all pet

    droppings to avoid an additional charge, please be kind,

    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. Send a message and ask.



    POLICIES

    Primary guest must be 23 or older. Guests under 23 require prior approval and

    an additional refundable damage deposit, if approved at all. A signed digital

    rental agreement and valid photo ID are required before check-in — door codes

    are not released without both.

    Door codes are sent by text by 3 PM on arrival day. If you are hoping for

    early check-in, reach out around 1 PM on arrival day and we will accommodate

    if we can. Strict cancellation policy applies. No unregistered guests. No

    smoking, no parties, no extra cars, no exceptions.



    SELF CHECK-IN & MANAGEMENT

    Professionally managed by South Padre Trips — the #1 reviewed vacation rental

    company on South Padre Island, with 24/7 phone support. Office at 2600 Padre

    Blvd, open 7 days a week.

    We PRO-clean between each reservation — not a quick tidy, done right every

    time. We have staff available 24 hours a day, a real bonus you will not find

    with a mom & pop host. Starter toiletries and cleaning supplies are provided

    but not replenished. For stays of 3 nights or more, complimentary linen and

    towel exchange is available at the South Padre Trips office at 2600 Padre Blvd

    as South Padre Trips is the best property manager on the Island



    It is our hope you create some memories that last a lifetime at Sparky’s Pool

    House. Please reach out with any questions — we are happy to help before you

    book.



    City STR license on file, in good standing, and available upon request.
