South Padre Island, Texas

Aqua Del Mar can turn your getaway into a two-nation vacation. While this two-bedroom condo sits a mere one block from the white-sand beaches of South Padre Island, it’s also located a short 30 miles from the Mexican border and all the cultural treasures the community of Matamoros has to offer.

Spend one day spotting dolphins in the emerald waters of Laguna Madre Bay, which borders South Padre Island, and the next day strolling through the historical buildings in Matamoros on your way to browse one of 100 shops at Juarez Market. Or plan your visit around El Festival del Mar, or The Festival of the Sea, on Playa Del Bagdad beach in Mexico.

Aqua Del Mar will keep you living in style during your international vacation. In addition to two bedrooms and two baths, this condo offers a full kitchen with microwave and dishwasher, a television, DVD player, stacked washer-dryer, heat and air conditioning. It even includes an outdoor swimming pool.

Even without the quick access to Matamoros, Mexico, South Padre Island serves up a slew of activities including fishing, bird and dolphin watching, golfing, horseback riding, jet skiing, WaveRunner riding, kayaking, banana boating, kiteboarding, windsurfing, parasailing, sky diving, snorkeling or diving. Or take a day trip to the nearby Gladys Porter Zoo.
