this past May was our 12th visit to the island. Stayed at the same place every year. Bill and Stacie have been the owners since '04. They are great hosts. The place is clean, quiet (this is not a party hotel) and the price is right. Two minute walk to the beach (if you walk slowly). Best value for our money; that's why we stay there every year.

We appreciated this small inn and the work done by the husband and wife team that owns the establishment and worked to ensure our visit was perfect. We look forward to visiting again soon!

We have been staying at Southbeach for years and consider this our home away from home. The rooms are clean and it's less than a block from the beach. Bill & Stacie are like family to us and we wouldn't stay anywhere else on the Island.

My husband and I (we're in our 50's and 60's) try to go to South Beach Inn every April, since discovering it 5 years ago. South Padre is the place to be in April for kite boarders and wind surfers, because of the coastal breezes during that time of the year. People come from around the nation and the world to take advantage of the near perfect wind conditions and the beautiful waters of the Gulf. While my husband and I are not kite boarders or wind surfers, we enjoy sitting on the beach passing the day in the sun and watching them skim by us on the surf! It's a beautiful, colorful sight. South Beach Inn rooms are setup with kitchens and outside grills. Each evening we sit outside grilling steaks or red snapper and listening to the stories of the boarders and the surfers. We even get in a story or two about our day kayaking or trying to learn how to surf! There's a laundomat in Port Isabel close by, so there is no need to pack much. Leave room in your suitcase for souvineers from the turtle rescue center and the t-shirt shops. Walk the boardwalk at the nature center to see the resident alligator and migratory birds. Go on an eco-tour to see the unique species of dolphins found only at South Padre. South Beach Inn is perfect for people who enjoy clean rooms, a warm shower, and a shrimp boil. You feel a part of the South Padre local community.
