What's better than beachfront? Our place! We are directly across the street from the beach, so you get the convenience of beachfront without the beachfront prices. You are a shorter walk to the beach from our condo than you would be in the big resorts with 'beachfront' prices.

Come relax and feel the sand between your toes in beautiful South Padre Island. This is the perfect place to get away from it all. Even better, is our location. We are directly across the street from the beach, and there is a beach access just steps from the condo. It's like being beachfront without the prices! There are no hotels around us, so the beach is not as crowded and the neighborhood is quiet.

Stream your favorite apps, ZOOM, eLearn, etc. with high-speed WIFI internet. Our condos are pet friendly and kid friendly. They are also great for a romantic getaway. Are you setting up a girls' weekend or reunion? You can rent out an entire floor or the whole building and have a private vacation!

New upgrades: Keurig coffee maker, Berlin Gardens outdoor pool furniture, 6 beach chairs, 1 Tommy Bahama beach umbrella, 6 beach towels and a beach wagon.

We are thrilled that you are looking at spending some time with us at Athena Ares Condominiums. Our beach home is a pet friendly, family vacation rental. The traveler securing the reservation must be 25 years of age or older. For Spring Break / Semana Santa all rental guests must comply with a families only restriction. We proudly honor all military and law enforcement with a 10% discount off the nightly rate. If the dates that you are looking for are not available in this condo, we have 5 more fantastic condos in the same great complex that might work for your dates. We would appreciate the opportunity to accommodate your stay on the island.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay.

This is my second stay at this property this year. Highly recommend as it is clean, well appointed and has close access to the beach, restaurants and the Sea Turtle Rescue Center. It rained this trip so spect one day inside and it felt like I was home. Comfortable and welcoming.

Great Stay

First time to South Padre Island. Great place to stay. One very minor issue when arriving and I noticed a loose towel bar. The managers were there to fix immediately. No other issues. Nice and quiet. Great hot tub and pool.

Fun family stay

Cleanest property we’ve rented through VRBO. Our youngest child has food allergies, so we really scrutinize the kitchen and it sparkled. We did ask them to clean the washer (a little smelly as front-load washers can sometimes be) and Sandy arranged for it to be taken care of the next morning. It was super close to the beach access, which made it much easier to get a tired 4 year old back after a long day of playing in the sand and waves. Both kids loved that there was a wading area in the pool. We were comfortable and happy the entire stay. Thank you!

Awesome place

Booked this as an extended family vacation everyone had a great time over all accessible and clean. Very close to the beach. The rooms were great for my family of four. The pool is awesome the out door space is great. There was a rat in the outdoor space that was comfortable stealing food out of the grill. Would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable Stay Across from the Beach

Easy check in, great communication from the owner. Very clean and really nice! Comfortable beds, pool was super clean and we took our 28lb dog. My only suggestion is for the management group to spring for new cutlery. There was only 1 semi sharp knife and kitchen shears would barely open. It just made things a little difficult to chop veggies and open up bacon package etc.

Just what we needed.

I really enjoyed our stay at Athena Ares. It was conveniently close to the beach. With little ones, that was important. The room was well stocked, and the umbrella and chairs were just a big plus. Overall it was just what we needed for our mini last minute vacation. We will definitely be booking again soon.

Great Place to stay in SPI!!

We had a group of 37 people come down to be a part of my wedding on the beach. It was perfect! We had all six units plus a house across the street! Theses condos were very nice! It had everything you might need from cookware to beach chairs and umbrellas. They had a pack-n-play too! It was very updated and clean and the bed was super comfortable! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone coming to Padre Island. And the owners/manager was very good to us and helped with anything we needed!
