About the host

Hosted by Richard and Marilyn Wheeler

My wife and I, hosts of Splendid Condos-by-the-Sea, have traveled the globe while serving in full-time ministry. We enjoy returning to our favorite historic landmarks, especially in the highlands and islands of our beloved Scotland where we've hosted numerous tours. But closer to home, we now have a new favorite island to visit – North Padre Island of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Why they chose this property

Having been raised in Santa Monica, California, we are beach people to the core. There’s something about the beach that is restorative and relaxing – the sound of waves, the expanse of the sea, and its wind blowing sea air on the face, and even the sound of squawking seagulls. And for us, a strong presence of God and the display of His awesome power is ever present at the beach. It’s hard to describe. As Vrbo Premier hosts of this splendid condo by the sea we call "The Dover," we'd love for you to experience it all, too. Ahhh, for the simple beach life, we invite you!

What makes this property unique

We’ve named it the “Dover” because from the first step inside – and seeing those shiny white porcelain tile floors, the all-white bedspread, and white throughout– reminded us of the White Cliffs of Dover! We first set eyes on those all-white cliffs from a hovercraft while crossing the English Channel from Calais to Dover. And like that memorable Dover, the condo Dover it’s only a brief 5-minute walk to the beach or a 1-minute drive onto the sand. It’s an amazing place as the Youtube aerial video clip will show you.
