This was our second time staying at this rental and both times did not disappoint. Check in/check out are a breeze, the condo is clean and spacious with a wonderful balcony overlooking the water. Great amenities and good location. We can't say enough good things about it. We'll definitely be back to SPI and when we do, this will again be the place we will stay. Highly recommend!

The perfect VRBO

We were pleasantly surprised that this VRBO was even better than the photos! Beautiful, stocked, quiet, spacious and wonderful hosts that took amazing care of our every need. The unit is even stocked with things you didn’t know you even needed. You could live here! Seriously if you are looking to stay in this area, CHOOSE THIS ONE!

Best ever!

This property was exceptional! It was like a personal home with everything that you could possibly want. The photos and amenities don't capture the real charm of this place. It's two blocks away from a grocery store, two breakfast places, four lunch counters, and five dinner restaurants. One was F&B! A chef owned and managed five star restaurant! Thank you Mike & Carolyn!

Wonderful Thanksgiving at the beach!

Everything about our stay was wonderful, from start to finish. This unit is beautiful and has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped, (cutting boards, trivets, pots and pans, coffee maker AND Keurig... even food storage containers). The living room was great for movies every night (we could log into our own streaming apps), the beds are very comfortable, and there was good quality paper towels and TP. :) We were especially grateful there were plenty of beach towels available, so we didn't have to pack them. The owners were very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. We hope to return!

Water problems cut our stay short

Amazing location and beautiful condo. Unfortunately, scheduled plumbing work caused two day water outage after second day that caused us to relocate to a standard hotel room down the street. Hosts refunded rental payment.

5 star stay!

Our family would absolutely return to this property for future trips to SPI. It is the most comfortable property we’ve ever stayed at: every mattress was excellent, the linens were very nice, the couches and chairs were in great shape, and the patio furniture was high quality. This was also the most well-stocked property we’ve ever stayed at, which was so appreciated because we have young children and an infant, so we cooked most meals at home and did a few loads of laundry during our stay. The condo complex itself is the pride and joy of the residents who own units- it is very clean and well cared for. Everyone we met talked about how Ocean Vista Towers is the best place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

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.
