Sands of time: Spring RATES, VIEW 180°, PEACEFUL,360° VIDEO,WIFI,CABLE,ROKU,DVDS

PLEASE SCAMMERS LEAVE ME ALONE! i know your trick.

**Still no balcony but the door is locked and must remain closed and the first 3 pictures are the views with the door closed. I am hoping the balcony will be done before 2025 but I have no confidence.

**I AM NO LONGER A PREMIER HOST. 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE REQUIRED. I am very upset at the system where one review kicks me out..

**UPDATE: TO BE CLEAR I HAVE NO BALCONY. Today is March 5 2024.. The management promised work would be completed at the end of June 2023. After almost a year of no work they are starting again. The view is great from inside but no relaxing on the balcony. Assuming work will continue, I WILL BE BOOKING , as long as you understand what is going on.. I have a bistro set to put outside in the hall to be a pretend balcony with a surprisingly great view. However, I will have instructions not to open the patio door at all.

**I HAD 4 BOOKINGS IN JULY & THEY WERE ALL HAPPY ANYWAY.

**I do ask you to be patient with me however as I am kind of out of practice with what I need to do. Its been a long time.

**Summer 2022, 2 different guests let their child draw all over my freshly painted walls & toilet. I am not a happy camper at the moment. Very few guests that summer have followed my "leave it as you left it" so I now have to charge a cleaning fee. Sorry but a few ruin it for everyone.

**This condo is on Corpus Christi bay not the gulf of Mexico or ocean. "Texas beach watch" checks Texas beaches for bacteria & the bay has the same low bacteria as the gulf.

***PLEASE REVIEW ME & MY CONDO ONLY, NOT THINGS OUT OF MY CONTROL like weather, elevators (All building ELEVATORS OFF & ON), cable TV internet out, seasonal jellyfish (buy repellent), beach s&, condition of buildings, very rare occasion city waterline break, electricity out, etc. Anything less than a 5 star review gets me in trouble. COMPLEX STILL NEEDS WORK
!**New guests=MONEY SENT TO VRBO ONLY! *RIGHT ON BEACH, not just beach view

**Min.2-3 nights(3=$746.75 TOTAL PRICE summer) for more relaxed vacation(1 week TOTAL=$1,471.29 summer)4 days min. Memorial day & July 4th whereby others raise rates(4=$1,001.00 TOTAL PRICE)

**Inquires usually answered within an hour daytime.

**COMPARE TOTAL PRICE: VIEW DETAILS for extra fees I don't have(owners, cleaning., manager, deposits)& my DISCOUNTS:WEEKLY=15% buy 6 nights get one free. MONTHLY= 62%

**8 AM CHECK IN'S & 5 PM CHECK OUTS. Some charge $65.00/ hour for this.24/7 check ins most days

**HONEST PRICE:BEYOND MY CONTRO taxes(30 days+=no tax),VRBO,& complex $15.00 check in.

**Labor day to before memorial day weekend= $pring RATES CHEAPER & weekday=cheaper.

*100% owner managed! BEWARE,I am told, I am helpful, friendly & consider everyone like family. My honesty & those of others, I value most.

*Complex finishing TEXAS FREEZE REPAIRS.NO FITNESS ROOM YET. . SAFETY FIRST: After booking I text you to assure I am a real person, not a scam.

**Per upgraded points web site "North Beach is One of the 12 BEST BEACHES IN TEXAS 2021"(pretty, warm water, family safe, opportunities to fish & sail, best bird-watching in country,& stunning sunsets)

**BY BOOKING, you agree to HOUSE RULES & conditions of use. Thank you for understanding. There is no limit to questions you can ask. VRBO WELCOME GUIDE & I have a guest information book.

*BEACH=VERY FEW PEOPLE. Soap, h& sanitizer,& bleach available & condo always disinfected between uses. POSTPONEMENT ALWAYS AVAILABLE WITH ME AFTER REFUND DEADLINE. Book with me & discover how much free extras you REALLY GET! I can't express it enough: YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR A TRUE BAY FRONT(only 45 units) because they are LARGER, balcony is private(only viewed from beach)& end in 00 to 05 & you get a 180° beach view verses a 45° VIEW with bay views(ends in 06 to 45).THERE ARE 5 CLOSETS(bay-views=4) & under bunk cabinets for storage. You pay good money so I want to make sure you have the best vacation ever by supplying all amenities & customer service you need. I HAVE QUICKLY ANSWERED EACH & EVERY REVIEW(good/bad),EMAIL OR TEXT.

**No hidden cameras inside (apps check for these). For your security I have installed a ring doorbell outside . I do not monitor it except check out day to know when to clean.

**If you need another condo, Unit #2300 = 2nd building,3rd floor, unit 00)

**RETURN GUESTS HUGE DISCOUNTS. Text me.

**I apologize for lengthy listing but I believe I have all questions answered. If not, ask me. I have 50 true pictures of every square inch of my condo & a video(CLICK VIEW ALL PICTURES,PICTURE 3).

*Everything is electric & thus NO DEADLY CO2 POISON

*Having survived HURRICANE Harvey with not much damage at the complex or my home nearby, I would like to assure you unless eye of hurricane is within 25 to 150 miles away, the only inconvenience is rain & a little wind.

**4 years ago this North Beach complex(see last picture)was really bad but now it has new management & fixed up VERY VERY slowlyThink of complex as having TONS OF CHARACTER(lol). However, inside condo itself is a very cozy,1 bedroom,clean,& simple, casually beachfront decorated,not formally elegant. Reviews said some things are outdated(pictures are all recent & dated),but I do not believe in redecorating when things are still useful.

**I own & manage one unit(2300). My condo is very kid friendly with one of the BEST 180° PANORAMIC VIEW at this complex(20 miles in each direction). Condo is 480 SQUARE FEET whereas typical hotel room is 350 sq.ft & bay views are 420 sq.ft. I live 10 minutes away should there be ANY problems at all. Property is gated with security.

***This is only 1 of 6 of its kind at this complex(on top floor at end: There is only one condo to the left & one condo underneath(no sounds of feet on ceiling). Also,no foot traffic outside door because it is at very end,away from stairs & elevator(see pic map) & VERY,V,QUIET but noise is not frowned upon.

**Listen to waves,enjoy coffee,& watch dolphins from a private balcony.Balcony is shaded after 12 noon so there is no hot afternoon sun. Relax completely in shade.

**You could drop something from balcony & it will l& on beach.You can actually watch teenagers & adults in the water from balcony & run down stairs in a minute. Beach is much safer with no driving on beach & no rip tides.

**ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS AFTER CHECK IN: see cancellations.. Be very sure before booking to read all of this listing.

**Everything is supplied in kitchen you would ever need: EMERGENCY SUPPLIES WHEN NEEDED,high chair when requested,lots of pots,pans,bake ware, utensils,22 spices,BBQ TOOLS,wine corkscrew,pizza cutter,full fridge,ice trays,blender, microwave,toaster,can opener,ground coffee maker, PROVIDED filtered coffee packs not Keurig, CROCK POT! There are all kinds & lots of BEACH TOYS, Tonka like trucks(cart to tote them to beach),binoculars(ships,birds,DOLPHINS),free WIFI,hundreds of DVD MOVIES,ROKU & lots of apps(Netflix, hulu etc.),pool noodles,boogie boards,t.p. for each day up to 7,1 paper towel,complementary coffee,sugar, cream,2 beach chairs,2 chaises,gripper umbrella st& but UMBRELLA broke,2 beach towels,beach mats,small drink cooler ice chest holds 8 drinks,Dyson vacuum cleaner,all cleaning supplies,dish soap, liquid soap(diluted for foaming container),hotel supplies,library of novels,spare light bulbs,& more, just ask!Two 40" wall mounted TVs.Other owners have seen what I offer & then offer them also. I accept that risk.PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS DURING YOUR STAY INSTEAD OF GIVING ME A BAD REVIEW.

**SIX PERSONS MAXIMUM NO MATTER HOW SMALL!This only sleeps 4 adults & 2 children under age 18 maximum(bunk beds are for those under 5' 5" & ARE VERY NARROW:CHILDREN ONLY).5 OR 6 ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 18 IS NOT ALLOWED in one condo at VDS SUBJECT TO EVICTION by VDS.

**Close to everything. Biking & walking on beach boardwalk to restaurants,shops, & sites is highly recommended (parking for aquarium $5.00). Bikes can be kept in one of 2 bike racks(securely locked) on property or taken up elevator & stored in hallway or balcony of condo,albeit a little crowded.

**PETS: NO pets, but Barkaritaville pet resort will board animals in luxurious conditions.

**I used to charge no cleaning free nor manager fees as I expect guests to leave condo as they found it. I then clean,sanitize it completely & wash linens(IN CLOSET)in hot water & Downy Unstoppables,Dyson Vacuum cleaner & cleaning supplies provided. THIS IS RENTED AS IS.1- I will do my best to clean it(bleaching everything that can be bleached,vacuuming,dusting)but 2-if you need more cleaning(or are a neat freak),my cleaning supplies or ones you prefer & buy,will clean it better. Chances are I will miss some small cleaning & I apologize.In other words,there is no maid service 3-I will charge you 150.00 & hire a professional to clean if you want.(I DO NOT CLEAN INSIDE CUPBOARDS OR DRAWERS. You should always clean items before use) I use foggers & defense spray(kept in closet)every month so I might miss the occasional dead bug in closet.Beaches & palm trees attract giant Texas size water bugs(keep doors closed)so there might be an occasional live one ready to die in my sprayed all the time condo.

**FYI: 5 charcoal grills.

**After 7 years,I raised rates SLIGHTLY. Most guests book early.

**CANCELLATIONS:NONE AFTER CANCELLATION TIME PERIOD.For true emergencies I will,however,offer rescheduling that must be done within 3 months if there is availability.If not used within that time, offer will expire. **IMPORTANT:Previous guest could make copies of keys,& lost key fees.NO KEYS TO THIS CONDO.When paid in full,you receive one time code to door.

**Visitors guide & guest book in condo.
**Mail box key for long stays.

**Every time Make sure door is locked when you leave.

**Managed:IINSIDE CONDO=me,COMPLEX=office staff,BOOKING =VRBO.

**SUMMER Cole Park: FRIDAYS free movie, THURSDAYS free concert.

**Thank you!

Unexpected issues.
We were on the third floor in building 2. The property manager decided that the elevator was going to be replaced. Us being not so young we couldn't do that many stairs so we left one month early. Our host was very good and refunded most of the second month. Vrbo would not refund their portion

Great Hospitality and cozy condo!
Roxana was an amazing host! She was always going above and beyond to make sure our trip went smoothly and we had a great time. She was always very quick to respond and had a great sense of humor 🙂 The condo was very cozy and felt like home. We will definitely be visiting again in the future!

Exactly what we needed
Rox was amazing her condo is exactly what was advertised! The building it's self could use some maintenance like the hallways to the condo but it is on the beach so it gets a LOT of wear and tear. Quiet community and on the beach what more could you ask for.

Budget Friendly
Very budget friendly property. Easy access to the beach. The property as a whole needs some work. The elevators are slow old and Extremely hot. The pools were not as clean as I Would have liked. The condo was adequate for our trip.

About the host

Hosted by Roxana B.

Host profile image
This is a picture of me (Rox Benavides) and my husband David at the bottom of the great wall of China. I am a world traveler and love traveling. I have been to 252 cities , 5 continents, and 43 countries. I also have lived in other countries. I have owned this condo since 1988 and recently decided to rent out my little beach home unit #2300.

I am not fluent in Spanish but can converse a little. Yo hablo un poquito español

I hope you will consider booking from me.

Why they chose this property

When we bought it we thought we would use it but life happened. But that said, North Beach is a nice quiet beach for families. The "ocean" is rather calm there and kids could play safely in the water. The beach is not crowded even for holidays.

Main thing, I try really hard to please. I believe its not always about money but money is good lol.

What makes this property unique

There are only 45 true Beach-front (PRIVATE BALCONY AND LARGER UNIT) at this complex and it is so much better than a bay-view (PUBLIC BALCONY AND A SMALLER UNIT). With a Beachfront you have a 180° panoramic view whereas with most bay-views you only have a 45° view. The small difference in price is worth it. Also top floor (no footsteps above you or no one to your right), at the end. Also there are only 6 units like mine (top floor, on the end) away from stairs and elevator noise.
