The whole property was wonderful.From the furnishings inside the condo (beds, couch, outdoor seating) and the chairs around the pool were very comfy and were not worn in/out at all.We had one minor issue with the TV outside (oh the horror.....kidding of course) and it was resolved within an hour.The pool, beach items/equipment were all top notch and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be looking at booking again in the future with other family members it was that nice. Thanks for everything!!!
Pool area - we were spoiled and had it all to ourselves!
Be sure to wake up early one day and take the short walk across the street to see a beautiful sunrise.

This was our second year staying at Athena Ares. Everything was exactly as last year, so we were very happy about that. The property is very clean and well maintained. Management was quick to respond when contacted. We spent lots of time by the pool. There is a new gas grill, which we used frequently. There are several beach accesses right across the street. This condo is in a quiet location. We enjoyed some new dining options on the island. We also found some new local musicians to enjoy! We definitely plan to visit South Padre Island in the future!

Another wonderful trip to Athena Ares!

We visit SPI every year around Memorial Day and we always stay at Athena Ares. It’s been 10 years and we just wrapped up another fantastic visit. Beach access 17 (Starlight Circle) is steps away, right across Gulf Blvd, and it leads you to the best stretch of beach on South Padre. Location. Location. Location. You can walk to several restaurants and stores; everything you need is right there. There’s lots to do for kids of all ages! When we’ve enjoyed a long day at the beach, we head back to the condos to enjoy the pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, outdoor TV and pool table. It’s such a great property for families or a group of families. The immaculate units have tons of fresh towels and accessories and are well appointed for your stay. Beach chairs, a wagon, beach towels? Yes. Yes. Yes. Comfy beds throughout - even the sleeper sofa is comfortable! Yep, we love it here and look forward to booking again in 2026! :)

Good stay, worry free and clean

Overall, this is a great condo and stay. Everything was very clean. My family had multiple condos rented and it was a good time for everyone. Pet friendly was great help. I wish pets were allowed in the fenced pool area, but they aren't. My dog's don't like water but it would have been nice to have them off leash. There's a lot of paperwork with the rental agreement. There are a lot of extra fees that are not reflected in the nightly stay price in VRBO. This may be a VRBO transparency issue and not the owners fault. Not a fan of VRBO for this reason. If you need a place for a lot of people, pet friendly, lots of amenities, and on the beach, this is a great place!

Beautiful condo/Great location

This rental is exactly as described, but even more beautiful. They had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that they had a wagon and beach chairs to enjoy at the beach. After a day at the beach they had multiple places outside to rinse all the sand off. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub almost daily and usually had it to ourselves. We have stayed at many places on the island, but this is by far our favorite. We look forward to coming back.

Athena Ares Never Disappoints!

We have been vacationing at this property for over a decade. We love the location, love the property and facilities, and recently had another wonderful stay 5/27/24 through 6/1/24. The unit is well-maintained and super clean. There are tons of fresh towels, pillows, and other linens, and we got a good night's sleep each night in the comfortable beds. You cannot beat the location, just across the street from Beach Access #17 (in my opinion the best stretch of beach on South Padre Island), and the pool, hot tub and outdoor facilities are perfect for when you'd like to skip the sand. It's an easy walk to several shops and restaurants. Most of all, we love that we can bring our Golden-doodle, Archie, along for all of the fun. See you next year!
