This condo is only okay for the following reasons (pros and cons).Kitchen: not many dishes or glasses, nonstick pans are so scraped up they can't be used, no spices or supplies other than salt/pepper, dishwasher is at end of useful lifeBedrooms: beds are NOT comfortable, sheets are old and don't fit well anymore, beds are squeaky and mattresses worn outBathrooms: decent, clean, no shampoo or conditioner, only hand soap availableLiving room: decent couches, plenty of sitting optionsPool: warm enough to swim but not comfortable on a day cooler than 75F, only being cleaned twice weekly so a lot of debris blows inBeach: close enough to walk to (there is a stretch of 50yards along a busy road, but not too bad), a few beach toys are available but no beach towelsManagement: communicates quickly during booking process but after that not much. I didn't have any huge issues to report but he didn't even respond to text on the day we left letting him know we checked outOverall: it was fine, we wouldn't stay here again unless basic upgrades are made
Good space and amenities. Pool just outside door. Long walk to beach if you have older people or very young kids. Place would be nice but needs deep cleaning. Dust everywhere, sandy floors, sheets not clean on beds. Towels need replacing.
Very easy check in and out. Clean well maintained property. Great location close to beach.

Perfect setup for family beach vacation
The condo is very spacious and with a perfect layout. 3 bedrooms upstairs and plenty room downstairs. Our family of seven was very comfortable. The kitchen is open and made cooking meals an easy task. The beach across the street is wide and well maintained. The kids lived in the pool when they weren't at the beach so this units location poolside was excellent. Definitely a 're-renter' when we return to N. Padre
The location is great! The owner is very responsive to messages. I went with 5 other ladies, all in our 40’s. All of us frequent users of VRBO. This was the dirtiest unit we’ve ever stayed in. Especially surprising due to other clean reviews & lack of early check-in availability for a through cleaning. The stairs were filthy, clearly not vacuumed. Stickers in the kitchen rug. Watered down soap dispenser with no lather. Dust build up on top of shower ledges. Hair rubber bands left in the shower. Sheets in the closet tossed on the shelf, not folded, so unsure if dirty or clean to make the trundle bed. Dishes in the dishwasher still dirty. Some dishes in the cabinet also dirty. We used as much of our paper goods as possible. Really unfortunate, if it were clean & tidy, we would happily return. Simple fix with a better cleaning service & stop cutting corners by adding water to soft soap to make it last longer.

Fun trip
This was our first trip to Corpus Christi. The condo isn’t right on the beach (as in walkout on the sand), you do have to walk a little ways or drive a couple minutes to get to the drive-on portion. Otherwise the location on the island is great. I was a little disappointed that most of the tourist attractions are in the bay, which is a 30 minute drive, but that’s just how Corpus is. If you’re just wanting to be a beach bum this place is perfect.
As far as the condo itself, the building as a whole is well maintained. The two reserved parking spots were nice to have with all our beach stuff and kids. We had someone parked in our spot one day but after a call to the owner, they left promptly. The layout is great with all the common area downstairs and beds upstairs. It fit four adults and two babies perfectly. I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with more people than that in one unit, but I suppose if you don’t mind people everywhere it could fit the “sleeps 12” description. We only stayed two nights, so we didn’t use the kitchen much, but I can see it being very useful for someone staying longer and wants to cook at the condo to save money on going out. The washer and dryer were also a great amenity to have in the unit. We were right next to the pool, even had access from our patio, and even though we didn’t use it, I will say we never once heard kids or noise. The condo is very sound proof when it comes to outside noise.
My one and only complaint is that I think the condo could have been cleaned better. I get sand, that is to be expected. But in particular the upstairs guest bathroom (not master) definitely needed to have the bath rug replaced and there was someone else’s hair EVERYWHERE. In the tub, on the floor, in the sink. There was a pony tail left in the tub. Having a baby that crawls/walks low to the floor and having to bathe them while pulling hair off me was disgusting. I didn’t notice it anywhere else in the condo so maybe that bathroom was mistakenly skipped during the last cleaning. The sheets and dishes and everything else was clean so something tells me this was an anomaly.
I do recommend this condo and hopefully the owner sees this review and just makes sure the cleaning is up to par.
We had a lovely time at this property. It is close to whitecap beach and the National seashore, so beach access is definitely a plus! I was quite disappointed in the quality of the bath towels and sheets on the beds, as they are very cheap and old. It was also clear that no one has done a deep clean in a while, as there were ants in the kitchen and living room, and children’s socks and toys beneath the living room table and under couches.
We had an excellent experience. The place was clean and nicely decorated. Washer and dryer was a plus. We enjoyed so much will consider again for future getaways. Graded our stay A+! Thank you for helping us make memorable moments for our grandchildren.
We enjoyed a comfortable vacay here with 3 adults and 4 children. We liked the unit’s location to the pool (steps away from back door). The beach is within walking distance, but if you have to haul stuff for children the drive on beach is very convenient. There is an outdoor shower by the pool and a hose at the back of the unit for rinsing off after beach. The unit was clean, comfortable and cute. We would return in future.
What you see is what you get. The place was very clean when we got there. It had more than enough space for all 7 of us. Had a little problem opening the main door the second day, but it was really nothing. Randy came over as soon as I communicated and fixed it. Thank you Randy,. We had a blast!
Sand Angel was the perfect fit for my family. We were able to hear the crashing waves from the upstairs balcony. The pool was magnificent. The proximity to the beach was within minutes.
Pleasant, Clean, Well Decorated, Convenient to the beach
My family rented this condo.
Likes: It was clean, and right next to the beach with a lovey view. The pool outside was also nice and clean. The house was well supplied with kitchenware and other things. Plenty of bathrooms, too.
Dislikes: Pillows outdated, bring your own. Mattress on bunk bed needs to be replaced. There is no keriug but a coffee pot. Overall 5/5. Great place, kids would love it.
The place was exactly as described. 3 bedrooms upstairs and a great open downstairs with kitchen and living room. Pool is right outside the backyard and a short walk to the beach. The place was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommended if you are staying on the island.
This was a beautiful place to stay with our family for the last leg of our vacation and the owner was wonderful at communicating.
Pros:
Wonderful layout
Pool was in sight from the downstairs AND from the master bedroom.
Washer and dryer on site
SMALL amount of detergent and sheets for laundry
Great little back patio place for the baby and I to hang out while we watched the other kids in the pool
Lots of towel hooks outside
AMAZING view from the upstairs back patio
Cons:
It’s quite a walk to the beach
Parking was TIGHT
The beds were by far the most uncomfortable any of us had ever slept in
The bunk beds were super squeaky every time someone moved
The master mattress was squeaky, lumpy, and awful!
There were no toiletries in any bathrooms
The traffic was loud in the master bedroom.
Overall, this place was great, slept our large family easily, and was a nice ending to our trip. We would stay again, but we might bring a cot next time! :)
The Sand Angel was a clutch location for walking to the beach- even better it was the part of the Corpus Christi beach that cannot be driven on. All we had to do was walk across one road to the paved walkway to get to the beach. We had three children under the age of six their safety was critical - so the location of the Sand Angel made access so easy. The amenities of the beach condo were minimal so make sure and bring your own shampoo/conditioner/ziploc bags/foil…. When lightbulbs were burned out the property managers were very responsive, replenishing and replacing burned out lightbulbs and extra dishwasher detergent within 24 hours. That was impressive. Washer amd dryer in the unit was so helpful(bring your own detergent) . And the pool right outside the back door was convenient! There were plenty of towels in the bathrooms and the beds were clean, and comfortable. Only wish there had been a feather pillow option. (But that is personal preference.). Great location. We would definitely rent again.
