Beautiful condo in a great location

Our family stayed in this condo for a week and absolutely loved it. The location and views were perfect with lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. It had everything we needed, including a great kitchen, living space and items for the beach. Our hosts could not have been more helpful. We had all the information necessary prior to arrival and they were very accommodating when our flight got delayed. We would definitely come back and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else! Thank you for making our stay so fun and memorable!

Awesome and spotless home!

We booked this beautiful apartment to celebrate my son's graduation. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and the spaces were PERFECT. The home has EVERYTHING you need....I mean everything from beach towels and chairs (the good ones) to an instapot. The owner was also kind and communicative. He was very VERY fast and responsive.The only thing I'd recommend is to message and check with him before your stay that the pool, hot tub and tennis courts are open - this is why we booked here and the pool and courts were both closed and under construction.This caused us to buy pool access elsewhere at additional cost (Cabana at Margaritaville 300).

Perfect family condo

We traveled with 2 kids under 2, it was the perfect location to the beach & restaurants! The condo was very clean, great for our extended family to all stay in one place. The property pool was nice & being walking distances to the beach with little kids was very convenient. Condo was stocked with beach towels which was great. We also loved that the parking at the condo was gated, we enjoyed our stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Carolyn Patten

Host profile image
We are Mike and Carolyn Patten and we live at South Padre. We fell in love with South Padre Island and the Rio Grande Valley on our first visit there. We live at SPI to enjoy the beautiful beach and the peaceful island lifestyle. There are so many fun activities for people of all ages and interests. We have tried to provide every possible amenity that we could think of so that you and your family will feel right at home. We have been blessed with many fond memories here and we hope that you are able to create some of your own. We welcome you to come and enjoy our little piece of paradise! We welcome you to come and experience what we believe is the best that life has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Having been visitors/vacationers to the island for years, we ultimately chose to purchase at Ocean Vista Towers due to the quality, condition, and privacy of this condominium complex combined with the pristine beaches and breathtaking ocean views. We looked at many other condos but found that Ocean Vista Towers offered the best combination of everything we were looking for and its central location made it the stand out choice. We definitely made the right choice!

What makes this property unique

Ocean Vista Towers is centrally located on South Padre Island. This twelve story condominium is located on the beach front and all units face the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. You are able to enjoy gorgeous sunrises in the morning and breathtaking sunsets in the evening from our 3rd floor condo with a large wrap around balcony. This complex features two swimming pools, hot tub, tennis courts, basketball goal, children's adventure playset, cardio workout room, and gated parking for guest. The friendly, on-site management staff keeps everything in tip top shape.
