This property is spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for a large family. Not only is it on the beach with some of the best views SPI has to offer, it’s also a great location within walking distance of restaurants, etc.
The overall stay was good. Building was quiet, penthouse was clean and roomy. Plenty of beach towels and beach accessories although a few of the beach chairs were broken and unusable (obviously the owners are unaware). Kitchen was well stocked as far as dishes/utensils. The one thing that was a bit disappointing was the lack of any sort of spices (salt & pepper) or even a few starter packages of coffee. Maybe having these things around from previous tennants is against policy? But, overall it was a great trip (aside from the masses of jellyfish on the beach).
Perfectly close to restaurants and shopping while still being quiet at night. Even the grocery store is within willing distance! The loft is a tight squeeze but the teens made it home and they had their own bathroom upstairs.
This condo was spacious and well equipped for our family. The views were phenomenal with 3 different balconies to catch sunrises and sunsets. We appreciated the many offerings such as beach chairs, umbrella, volleyball, etc. We met several other owners and all were friendly and ready with great tips for enjoying the island.
This space was amazing! My cousins and I had a "Cousins Retreat" to reconnect, and this space allowed us to do that comfortably. Lots of space, gorgeous views and right on the beach! We had a truly wonderful time!
We really enjoyed our stay at this location. The views of the beach were amazing. The place was nicely decorated and very up to date. All bedrooms were roomy and nice beds. There was plenty of towels including beach towels. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. The communication with the property manager was top notch and responded quickly to my requests. I would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful and comfortable penthouse with plenty of room for our family. Beautiful views from any of the 3 balconies. Easy check in and property managers extremely responsive.
Very nice condo. The pool was not kept warm was a disappointment though. Also be on the 10th floor was a little scary if there would of been a fire because they had the doors to stairs locked when we tried them so no exit except the elevator.
Everything you could need or want right at your fingertips! The Property Manager was always one step ahead of us, resulting in the stress-free vacation we were hoping for!
Great for extended families or large groups. We had 12 people in our group that ranged from 81-12 years of age. Place is on the beach with a private entrance to the beach, around the corner from the strip, restaurants, grocery store, convenience stores, etc. Also has a nice pool, grills for cooking out, exercise equipment, private parking lot. The place had all we needed, towels, appliances, dishes, beach umbrellas, boogie board, etc. Definitely a great place to stay.
This property was stunning! So much space , and everything was newly renovated. We loved the three balconies, and the views were spectacular. We were able to cook for our large family (12 of us) with enough cookware , plates , utensils , etc…. Including a beautiful park area with 3 grills. Every bedroom had a TV with access to streaming channels. Rent this condo ! We loved it

Decent for price
The location of this condo is great. The actual building is very dated and the building itself needs repair. Chunks of concrete is missing on parts of the outside. The condo itself is well decorated. The stairs to the loft are VERY narrow. It's a little dangerous if you're not in good shape. The view is spectacular. While the kitchen has plenty of pots and pans they probably need to be replaced. The beds were nice and the pillows were also good. The condo was clean. While we enjoyed our stay we probably will not stay again. I think you can find some thing newer for the same price.
This was our first time to South Padre Island and the condo was absolutely perfect for our family. We had 11 of us ranging in ages 3yrs old and up, the upstairs loft was perfect for the 4 teenagers we had. The spaces bedrooms on the main level were perfect for the rest of us. To be able to open up the balcony door and sit outside and listen to the waves crashing and watching the sun come up was picture perfect. Everyone at the property was very friendly and even before we arrived everyone at Frankie was easy to work with and very communicative. It felt like this was our 100th time there not our first. We will definitely be back and be (hopefully) staying in the same unit again.
We highly recommend Penthouse Dahktari for short or long vacation rentals
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penthouse Dahktari! This was our first visit to South Padre Island & The Aquarius’ complex central, beachfront location made for quick & easy access to everything on the Island & in Port Isabel.
The building is old, but extremely well maintained & lovingly cared for. Penthouse Dahktari is eclecticly decorated in a combination of modern functional & Tex Mex kitsch that played very well over our 3-week stay in the Condo with family. The views to the East, South & West are simply spectacular!
Penthouse Dahktari is well stocked with condo, kitchen & beach amenities. Everything is in very good to excellent condition. Furniture & beds are solidly built & comfortable.
We highly recommend Penthouse Dahktari for short or long vacation rentals!
We did a family reunion and had plenty of room. The property was lovely and comfortable. The views were amazing. The location was wonderful. We had a perfect trip and appreciated all of the communication with the owners.
We stayed for 4 nights in the off season and had a wonderful time. The location was perfect. The condo views were amazing plus we had more than enough room to just stretch out and relax. The owners are 100% dedicated to customer service and were in constant contact with us to make sure we had a great vacation experience. We will definitely stay here again!
