About this property

Who Knew Heaven Was Across The Street From The Beach???

This newly remodeled 1 bed/1 bath condo sits on the 3rd floor overlooking Lake Padre and comes fully furnished w/ all the amenities for a 2 day or 2 month stay. Don’t worry about fumbling around looking for the door key with your hands full, just type in your personal 4 digit code and step into Heaven.

The Condo is furnished with all new stylish/ beachy furniture throughout, making you think your toes have just met the sand!!! If the colors don’t reach out and grab you then the 55’’ Smart LED/ 3D TV mounted above the rocked fireplace will do it! Need a quick break from the ride in, take a seat on either the sofa or our oversized chair and if you’re really tired open them up and make a bed (Sofa makes into a Queen Sleeper & chair makes into a Twin bed for the little ones, but still comfortable enough for dad). Netflix and DVD/Blue-ray player is included with the option of 3D (Glasses on the mantle). The mounted sound-bar and secluded subwoofer will bring the theater to you as you sit back and enjoy your favorite movie or music.

If you’re like me, bypass it all and jump right to the master bedroom sinking into the King Bed with only one thought…” We are finally on Vacation”!!!
The master has a full walk-in closet with plenty of storage and hanging space, there is also a nightstand or media chest for any additional drawer space and a 32” LED TV.

When it’s time to cook or snack, check out the updated kitchen stocked with all standard appliances, utensils, cookware and glassware. Margarita and Wine classes are stocked at the adult level for that 5 o’clock somewhere feeling w/ the blender or margarita machine of your choice. Counter top and bar have been upgraded to high end granite with bar stools to sit and enjoy your drink of choice.

Enjoy our K-Cup coffee maker/ regular coffee maker (Bring K-cups and coffee of your choice) while reading the paper at the dining table, bar or on the balcony overlooking everything from Lake Padre to your personal parking spot (right in front of stairwell), BBQ area, horseshoe pit and boat parking. If you happen to be in town for Fourth of July or New Years, you can sit and watch the Fireworks from the balcony.

The restroom is updated with high end granite and fully tiled Shower/ 20” deep Jacuzzi soaker Tub just in case you want your own privacy, along with plenty of towels for the family!
Whether you’re laying on the King bed, Sofa’s, sitting at the bar, on the balcony or just soaking in the tub you can stream the internet fast and in style w/ your own private Wi-Fi.

Just like all the amenities inside the condo are offered to our quests, so are the amenities
of Beach Club. The pool, hot tub and fitness area is open 24 hrs as long you abide by the rules and have the proper entry card. There is also a great Gazebo/lounging area near the pool and a stocked pond on site for all guests (Fishing licenses and State rules still apply).

Perfect vacation location!

This property has everything our family needed. We are a short walk to the beach & pool. There are plenty of linens and towels and even extra beach gear in the closet. Coffee was provided as well as a kitchen with everything needed to cook a nice meal. Richard was very responsive and a great host. This spot is also dog friendly!

Richard was so easy to get ahold of and everything was exactly the way I expected it to be. Having lived in Corpus Christi and driven by these condos so many times it was wonderful to be back down on the island and this property was as wonderful as I expected it to be. It is the perfect location to go drive your car down on th beach and hang out on whitecap Beach all day long.

Great beach property!

This was a super clean, fun place to stay. The pool, hot tub and fitness center were all great. Bed was comfortable. The only negative is we never got the TV streaming to work but the owner did try to help, and we were able to watch basic cable after that. Who needs tv when you’re on vacation anyway? :)

Great location, wonderful host and perfect condo!

We booked this trip on short notice. I contacted Richard, he called me back right away and everything was set up within minutes! He is very nice and accommodating. The condo is beautifully decorated and has everything you need and more...we were surprised at all the little extras. The complex is very clean and the pool is nice. Also, the location is close to the beach, restaurants, bars and convenience stores. We will definitely be back!

We loved the place it’s self. The unit was clean and just what we needed. Super close to the beach and the pool was perfect. However the hallway leading to the unit were a little moldy and smelt. There is no way to deadbolt the door, it automatically locked but I would’ve preferred a deadbolt.

Sandfest Stay

The owner was very easy to get in touch with and communicated well. The unit is very close to a quiet beach and not far from Port A if you want to take the drive there. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to use to cook. The pool is very nice and they even provide pool towels. The bed was comfotable as well as the couches. Plenty of extra linens and pillows if you have kids sleeping on the pullout couches. Overall we had a good experience and would definitely recommend this unit!!!!

Great Place

It really was a great stay. I would of given it a 5 star but it needs a little attention. There was a Keurig listed so I did not bring my ground coffee and Keurig does not work. Had to run out early in am for coffee on first day. The closet on balcony with the beach items was a total disaster and nothing was really usable. I don't know if the last guests did it or that how it always is. Its not new but everything we needed. Note the information for the Wifi is on the BOTTOM of modem and not the BACK will make these easier for you. Otherwise we will stay here again but be more prepared.

Run Away As Fast As You Can!-Don’t Rent!

We drove 29 hours to come to the unit. Firstly, let me say that we are not clean freaks. When we arrived every single surface(ceilings, baseboard, walls, countertops, fans, etc!)was covered in dust, dirt and grime! The dishes were laid out on the table and covered in dust. We had to wash them. What we didn’t use in the kitchen we left. The hatch over the shower, had dust/lint strips falling from it. The tub was disgusting. Couldn’t have baths. To appreciate the utter neglect, just take a look under the bed to see how long it has been since proper thorough cleaning has happened. The comforter on the bed had blood stains or stains of some type on them. We went and purchased our own bedding. The couches when the temperatures dropped smelled like wet animals. Since the unit was in such poor shape, we basically only used it to sleep at for the first 10 days. My allergies were so bad, we ended up renting another unit for our final week as it was simply too far to return home that early into the trip. That is why we simply left on Friday. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the unit for our stay. We have rented through VRBO several times and never had a rental unit in this shape. The fact that you’re a premier host is surprising.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Hernandez

Host profile image
I grew up around CC and attended college here, staying an additional 2 years before work moved me to Laredo TX. I reside in Laredo now with my Wife (Celina) and 2 children (Cade 4yrs & Emalie 3 months). Celina is Speech Pathologist in Laredo and I work as Process Operator in Natural Gas Plant when I'm not playing golf.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy visiting CC and have many friends still around living there, so it just seemed right to purchase a vacation home for us spend the weekends for fishing or golf outings. Then we figured why not let others enjoy it as we do, since some see 3 feet of snow most of the year and we see 3 feet of sand all year around!
It was centrally located with everything a person would need within walking or driving distance and Schlitterbaun is going to be a great addition to the Island for all to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

I really like the balcony view of Lake Padre even if it's just water right now, in the near future it will be a perfect view of the Marina...with boats parked all around and lit up like the Fourth of July.
