Great condo and close to beach!

Great Labor Day Vacation

Beautiful well stocked condo with enough room to hold the entire family. Owner was extremely helpful with the booking and checking in process. Pool was close enough to the front door I could watch the kids from the front porch. The beach being so close was perfect! Definitely coming back!

Great Christmas vacation

My family and I had a great time. We have decided to make the beach our new Christmas vacation tradition. We rely enjoyed the spacious accommodation. We also enjoyed family time with the games that were provided. Being 5 min from the beach was a added bonus! Would highly recommend.

Amazing

Thank you to the Garcia family for allowing us to stay in their amazing townhouse. Very nicely decorated and so close to everything. Great for multi family with the split floor plan. Very spacious and just a few mins to the beach. Owners are very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Will definitely stay again.

Life is a beach!!

Great condo!! Everything you need for a stay at the beach. Parking was in short supply if you bring more than 1 vehicle,and the road construction right in front of the entrance was definitely a challenge during the busy hours. 10/10 would absolutely book again!!!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

I had the perfect weekend at this beach house! The location is great because it is only two minutes from the beach. The house was very comfortable and roomy. It was really convenient that the house had a kitchen and a garage. We were able to cook great meals and did not have to worry about parking. I would definitely recommend this house to all of my friends and family! I had a great weekend there!

Great week away!

We had a great week at the beach with my sister-in-law and her daughter. 7 of us in all and plenty of room for everyone. Played on the beach, had great swimming pool time and then played board/card games at night. We cooked some meals and ate out at others. Not a bad second was had. 2 car garage was a great plus and the master bed was super comfortable! Thanks for sharing your place!

A perfect condo for our winter fun

We spent Jan. - Mar. 2018 at this lovely condo. 3 bedrooms, 21/2 baths, and a huge loft and 2 car garage. The owner is wonderful and very helpful. The condo immaculate. The owner has a fabulous cleaning person so this condo is spotless. Everything there is the highest quality. It was a grand winter being so close to the beach, great restaurants, and Corpus Christi nearby. After 12 years of renting, this condo is the best!

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this house! There was plenty of room for the 2 of us to live in for 3 months. The rooms, showers, and kitchen were spacious and included all the things you will need. I will especially miss the big couch in the living room! Carlos and his wife were very responsive and one time, even dropped off their own washer and dryer because the one in the house broke. They truly made our experience awesome! The house is minutes away from Whitecap Beach & the packery channel if you like to fish. There’s also a newly opened grocery store down the street.

Maravilla - Just as described

We felt right at home in this property. Carlos ensured we had everything needed for a relaxing stay. He was very easy to reach and accommodating. This townhouse is spacious, with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked. I also liked the nice pantry. Carlos and Laura pay attention to the little details, such as coffee available, filters, toilet tissue, paper towels, and every day cleaning supplies. We enjoyed the nearness to Whitecap Beach. We were able to get our exercise every morning in the beautiful white sands. We even found a few treasures. The construction on the highway out front wasn't bad, even in during spring break. Thank you Carlos and Laura, for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing condo with plenty of room

We had two adults with five grandchildren.... no babies. It was a great condo as the children were all upstairs. The condo is nicely equipped, A/C worked very well since it was so hot outside, and all of us were quite comfy! The condo is spacious. Living room was big enough for all to be seated while we watched TV. Kitchen well equipped and dishes were nicer than usual in a rental condo. We did not want for a thing..... so we would definitely recommend this for a family stay! Carlos was responsive any time we had a question. We were a short drive to the beach, which made everyone happy. Great place and looked just like it did online!

Wonderful Getaway

The property was clean, well laid out, and a perfect size for two families to share. I loved the openness of the kitchen to the living room with a great dining table to gather around. There is a pantry are for food storage and a well-stocked kitchen as well as a downstairs convenient powder room. It is close to the beach (<5 min. drive) and a great HEB (<10 min. drive). Carlos the owner was also very kind and reached out to ensure we were able to access the home easily. We also enjoyed the nice little pool. It was overall a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Carlos & Laura Garcia

Host profile image
We have enjoyed this beautiful townhome with our family and friends since April 2006 and now we want to share it with you!
We have made this home a warm and inviting place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends.
Our desire is to make every guest feel like this is their home away from home.
We hope you choose to stay at Mar-A-Villa on your next trip to the beach!

Why they chose this property

This property is located between HWY 361 and Whitecap Beach. There are restaurants and shops nearby. The location is ideal to enjoy all that the island has to offer like the beach, fishing and enjoying great seafood!

What makes this property unique

Village on the Green complex is only 17 units with a private swimming pool. Our unit is on a corner so it tends to be quiet with only one neighbor. The beach is less than one mile from the townhouse.
