“Barely acceptable”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

This place gets lots of great reviews, but we didn't see the appeal of it. For two possible reasons, the camaraderie remarked upon among guests just didn't exist - 1)red tide kept people inside & 2)construction going on at the motel was troublesome. Kitchen kit ($10 extra) looked like stuff from Goodwill, and included no glasses. There was a coffeepot in the room, but no makings for coffee, not even for first night. Husband (of owner couple) somewhat friendlier than wife, but I generally felt that there was grumbling acquiescence on things we asked for. There was no warning that construction would cause entrance to parking area to be closed off (and coming in the exit appeared dangerous to me). This place is very reasonably priced, and we only stayed there 3 nights, waiting to get into our beachfront condo, but would not choose it again, even if we had to pay somewhat more.

“Great Location and Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I really liked this place. It's a shorter walk to the beach than most of the others in it's price range ( I have stayed at quite a few hotels on SPI ). Most of the other hotels in this price range are on the Bay side. The hotel is small with something like 12 rooms, It is one of the oldest hotels on the island and has been updated/remodeled. Not the Ritz Carlton by any means but if you are looking for a great price and location can't beet it.
Pros:
Full sized Fridge
BBQ pits right out the front door
Working Kitchen
pool (small but right outside your door)
Location!!!

Cons:
cant think of any

“Love it every year”

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!

“Paradise on Padre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2011

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.
