Fabulous Weekend Getaway!

The condo was everything we could have wanted and more! It was perfect for the weekend getaway that we wanted. Easy access to the beach and an excellent view of the water from the balcony. Beautifully decorated and kitchen was well stocked with dishes. Would definitely stay there again!

Love this place!

I stayed here with my (now) husband and our kids, for our wedding. It was inthe perfect location, well kept, smelled good & everything we were looking for. Only thing that sucked, that was beyond the condo owner's control, is that the washers were out of service for construction, so I couldn't wash towels once we used them all. Other than that, everything was perfect. Bobby was super responsive & friendly. I'd definitely stay again.

Corpus

The location was great. The condo was nice & cozy. But we only got to stay one night. We paid for 2 nights. Thanks to hurricane Hanna we left Saturday morning and our trip wasn't refundable. Would go again. The owner was so sweet and helpful. Better safe than sorry. We will be back.😊

Beautiful view

It was a beautiful view and beautiful place for us. You can't help what the outside elements have done to the building. Everyone that works here have been more than helpful. This particular host is the one you want! I messaged about a few different things and they were very fast to respond. If I book a trip back to corpus, I will definitely be coming back to rent here again...

Great trip

We had a great time. The condo was exactly as described. Originally being from Corpus, I was worried about cockroaches and jelly fish so was pleasantly surprised when we didn't see any at all! The kids had a blast at the pool and the beach. We stayed at a different location and beach last year and my kids were not impressed and actually told friends that the beach was their least favorite part of the vacation. They have now changed their minds. Thanks so much!!!

North beach Corpus Christi

Villa Del Mar unit facing the beach has great view, just remodeled, unit owner went out of his way ti ensure cable was working correctly. There was some confusion over which unit I had actually booked since he owns more than one. Written directions need to be left for how to use the several TV remotes.

Love the beach. Convenient to the Texas State Aquarium.

I was expecting this condominium complex to feel old because it is rather old (built in 1981). That being said, The unit had everything we needed. My 3 kids loved our weekend there, especially the convenience to the beach. The view of the ocean was nice. We actually walked along the beach to the aquarium and USS Lexington. The unit was cozy for a family of 5, but that was what I was expecting and actually what I wanted since I just returned from military deployment. The bunk beds were great for my kids. It was a real bargain. I couldn't ask for more for the price.

Such a little gem!

The outside facility age and it’s current construction is deceiving of this little gem! Even with the age of the building and ongoing construction the grounds and building common areas were very clean. The unit was surprisingly smaller than what it seemed in the pictures but very well laid out and perfect for what we needed. The area is perfect! Just past the busiest part of the beach. A short walk down the cement beach side boardwalk takes u to shops restaurants and bars. There’s a decent view of the beach and busy part of the beach from the balcony and 2 large beach lights are located within your balcony view if u would like to do some nighttime beach sitting. We will definitely use this property again!!!

Great beach within walking distance

Check in was easy but 20, to cover parking pass & gate entry for parking & beach gate. Building is under repair & the elevator is very slow, it also has signage that says it was out of order.Where we parked the 1st day had a leaking sewage drain overhead & our car ended up covered in sewage. We did move after we realized it was dripping onto our car. The condo is reasonably quiet, some people walking up & down the hallways at night but nothing unbearable. Inside the condo it was kept very clean - absolutely no sand anywhere. It’s an older condo & the decor is a bit dated but again, VERY clean. We were warned beforehand there was a soft spot on the floor of the kitchen. When we arrived, we discovered there were multiple soft spots in the kitchen and bedroom. It was highly unsafe & the owner let me know he did have the floors replaced after our stay. It was incredibly unsafe while we were there. He did offer us a 75 refund, which covered 15% of what we paid.The glass on the patio door was also loose, so we didn’t open the patio door much so we wouldn’t risk breaking it.Toilet was clogged, difficult to flush.The 3rd day, the water was turned off for the building. The office said the owners had been notified, but our owner didn’t know till we told him. That was when he offered the refund. Access to the beach is great. It’s a 2 minute walk to the water’s edge from the condo. It was a quiet, peaceful beach. Not overcrowded. We probably won’t stay again, though.
This is the biggest soft spot. We had to keep our toddler away from this spot the whole trip

Perfect location

This is a great location with fantastic views! The property was very quiet which was nice. My daughter loved the cozy bunk bed. The place is pretty old and has its quirks (plus construction going on downstairs- which we never heard so that was good) but that comes with the territory. Great super close private access to the beach. Condo had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.

When we arrived it was very hot, assuming that maybe the air had been off due to not being rented. Notified owner next morning that thermostat was not working and needed to be serviced, I asked for a reduced rate due to sleeping in heat, did t expect that since I waited to the next day to notify that they would not reduce rate. On Sunday upon coming back from my run, there were 2 roaches in the bathroom. Didn’t know there was a time limit to report a malfunction in the air conditioner , I’m not an a/c tech so I didn’t know until I called my older son who informed me that the unit was not working right.othet than that the unit was great location and reasonable prices.

Great value and great view of the downtown fireworks. The only hiccup we had was they were still cleaning the room when we got there so we had to stand outside the rental for about 30 minutes. Other than that, it was great. Would definitely stay again.

Great spot, simple place

This cozy condo is a great location for corpus Christi. Can see the USS Lexington from balcony. Easy beach access (beach is not wide, but it's not busy, so you'll have room to set up for the day). The whole complex is under construction, which is needed overall. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a convenient spot to stay for a long weekend/week, this will serve you well. Quaint and just what you need. Thanks for a good stay. Had a minor a/c issue later night which the owner resolved next morning.

About the host

Hosted by Daniela or Bobby

Host profile image
I enjoy sun, sea and relaxation and this property is perfect. I travel from Austin to enjoy the Texas beaches. I personally manage, remodel and vacation in my two condos. I try to provide everything vacationers might need or seek and try to assist in allowing you to be sure this trip is your best vacation on the beach. I love to travel to various beaches, far and near, so I offer to you what I expect on my personal beach vacations.

Why they chose this property

I began visiting Villa del Sol many years before buying and made my first purchase in the 80's.

What makes this property unique

All the comforts of home....but with Texas' best beach and sun. I walk out to the waters or dip in the pool and it's like no place on earth......but yet, can drive back home within hours and not have to get on a plane, run through an airport or pay tourist prices for great foods...and fun...
