South Padre Island: Sunday trails Saturday in Booked Occupancy (Nov 9–15, 2026)

South Padre Island short-term rentals for Nov 9–15, 2026: Sunday has lower Booked Occupancy than Saturday, even as local recycling events continue.

Updated November 10, 2026

Local recycling events continue through Sunday in South Padre Island, Texas. For Hosts & Operators looking at Nov 9–15, 2026, that creates a practical question: should Sunday night get the same attention as Friday and Saturday?

Sunday has lower citywide Booked Occupancy than Saturday in South Padre Island for November 9, 2026–November 15, 2026. Wheelhouse data as of November 5, 2026 shows Booked Occupancy of 12.7% on Saturday, November 14, 2026, versus 9.7% on Sunday, November 15, 2026. Sunday has more time remaining until arrival than Saturday.

Wheelhouse data shows Sunday’s Asking Rate also sits below Friday’s and Saturday’s.

Sunday differs in both Booked Occupancy and Asking Rate

Friday, Nov 13, has Booked Occupancy of 12.5%, placing it alongside Saturday at the top of the week. Sunday’s 9.7% is closer to Thursday’s 9.3% than to either of those nights.

Asking Rates follow the same ordering: Friday is $288, Saturday is $290 and Sunday is $270. The distinction is therefore not just in Booked Occupancy: the citywide asking-price pattern also separates Sunday from the preceding nights. That makes Sunday the important counterexample to treating the weekend as a single block.

The shared event calendar extends through Sunday

Sea Turtle Inc.’s calendar schedules Texas Recycles Day for November 13, 2026–November 15, 2026. The South Padre Island Birding, Nature Center & Alligator Sanctuary separately schedules H-E-B Texas Recycles Days over the same dates. Both advertise admission offers for visitors bringing plastic for recycling. Those dates overlap Friday through Sunday within the analyzed stay window, November 9, 2026–November 15, 2026.

The venue schedules give the weekend a shared local occasion, but they do not explain Saturday’s higher Booked Occupancy. The weekday itself could explain the difference. The calendar therefore adds context without making Sunday night interchangeable with Friday or Saturday.

Use Wheelhouse Performance Analytics to compare your bookings for Sunday, Nov 15, with past Sundays, and Friday and Saturday, Nov 13–Nov 14, with past Fridays and Saturdays, checked the same number of days before arrival with the same nights open for booking. If Sunday matches its usual pattern while Friday and Saturday stand above theirs, keep the focus on those earlier nights; if Sunday stands below its own history, shift attention to Sunday.
