South Padre Island, Texas
Price: $1.237 million
Beds: 6
Baths: 6

South Padre is a barrier island on the Gulf Coast and is about as far south as you can go in Texas and still be in the United States. The beach here goes on for miles and there are extensive areas of sand dunes and salt marshes.

It's a prime destination for "Winter Texans" -- northerners, mostly retirees, who flee south to escape the deep freeze.

Here they can boat, fish, swim and enjoy wildlife viewing that includes resident dolphin pods and an annual bird migration of warblers, tanagers, orioles and other songbirds.

This luxury property sits right near the water and has beach views from its twin balconies out front. There's more than 4,300 square feet under the roof, with such features as a curved, marble staircase, cathedral ceiling and an elevator.
