About the property

Welcome to Little Launch, a bright waterfront cottage tucked into the gated Long Island Village resort near Port Isabel. Watch the water from your covered deck, catch SpaceX launches lighting up the sky across the bay, and cook easy meals in the full kitchen before heading to the resort pools, golf, and tennis. A queen bedroom and living-room sofa bed sleep four, and South Padre Island beaches are a short drive over the causeway. Coastal calm with a front-row view of the future.

Little Launch is a cheerful single-level waterfront cottage on a quiet canal inside Long Island Village, a gated resort community on the Laguna Madre near Port Isabel. Water fills the view from nearly every window, and the covered deck is built for slow mornings with coffee, sunset dinners off the grill, and watching SpaceX launches rise across the bay. Inside, an open layout keeps the kitchen, dining, and living space connected and easy for a couple or a small family.
