Huge Upscale & Pet friendly Beach home w Hot Tub
Hope was a pleasure to work with and was always very quick to answer any questions. Beautiful home in a tranquil location. It was exactly what our family wanted!

Padre Island Condo w/Beach just a short walk away
The pictures don’t do it justice! I planned a getaway for my teen daughter and her friend and this was perfect. It’s within walking distance to the beach with a pool and hot tub accommodation. Plenty of room for my teens on their own private side of the condo and the girls got their own full size bath. There was even a sweet binder left with attractions and restaurants and printed google reviews for things in the area. Also had board games, puzzles and books. I hope to be back!

Waterfront w/ Bay Views, Boat Dock| Marlin Madness
We were there to fish and the location was perfect for access to the marina.

Primavera 2 @ Beach Clubs
My kids and I loved it, great location and I like it had reserved parking. We recommend it and will return.

Oceanview pet friendly, 1st floor studio w/2 pools
Great place to stay, easy and close to everything else! Great spot!

Brand new modern beach house with Ocean views
This house was by far the best we’ve stayed in for our annual beach vacation. We loved the layout of the house, the double washer/dryer, the double refrigerator, and all the amenities. First house that even had hand soap. It was cozy. The kid friendly pool was a plus. We wish we could take the house to every location that we visit!

Beachfront Dream Condo & Heated Pool!
What an amazing host for an amazing property! Colleen was an amazing host and provided great instructions for us to get into the property and even left a wonderful welcome gift for us to enjoy. Colleen was very responsive both before and after our stay. What an awesome host! Everything was at least as awesome as the description. Just about anything you could possibly imagine wanting/needing for a beach front stay was provided at the property. From beach furniture to body boards to sand toys to (my personal favorite) even a Star Wars vinal record with Bluetooth record player! The property is a corner condo that is literally less than 100 yards to the ocean shore with access to the beach very close (or you could climb down the beach wall directly in front of the property like we all did). With the patio furniture that was provided, our family enjoyed hanging out and watching people, the seagulls and pelicans, and the wonderful sound of crashing waves. Wish I had more space! :)

Reel Paradise: Waterfront villa ready to fish
Great condo! Location was awesome and we really enjoyed being able to walk out the back door to the dock and fish at our leisure. The space was clean and comfortable and had an air of privacy to it being in the corner of the complex. Lisa was very responsive to any inquires we had. Would definitely stay again!!

Beachfront Condo ON THE BEACH!. Direct Access/View
Best place we’ve stayed at in Corpus Christi! Can’t beat the view of the awesome waves every morning. The condo had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. The ONLY downside was that we couldn’t use the pool while there because it was getting cleaned but I’d rather the complex take the time to clean it then have us swimming in a dirty pool. Also, we spent most of our time at the beach so the pool wasn’t all that necessary. We’re enjoyed this place very much and hope to stay again in the future!

Bayfront Water View at Kontiki in Rockport, TX
This was our second stay at this great condo in Rockport. We love the clean unit and easy access to the pier. Would recommend!

Sol Studio @ Beach Club
Such a gem!! We were already planning our next trip before our current trip even ended. Had everything we needed and more! Can’t wait to come back :)

“The Erin” a nautical condo with beach & pond view
This place is top notch. The beach is a five-minute walk away and the unit has most anything you can think of - including beach towels - already in place. The bed is comfortable and everything works. This is one of those places that makes you wish you were staying at least one more day.

Beachside Condo on Whitecap Beach. Heated pool
We loved our stay at the Island House. Easy access to the beach from the Seawall (if you are wanting to bring a wagon, tent, etc it is probably easiest to drive because of the steep steps down the seawall). The house was very clean with everything you could need. The pool is right outside your front door but was never too loud. It is a good size with plenty of seating. The office had free games to borrow for our rainy morning. The only thing we were missing were chairs for the patio and perhaps more options for hanging up wet suits and towels. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again.

Gulf-View, New Build, Private Pool, & EV Charging
Close to the beach. Pool was nice for after hours. Top hat ice machine was a pleasant surprise. Updated appliances. Showers were big. Beach decor was eye catching.

Picturesque view
If you are looking for a place with an amazing beach view, close beach access, and close enough to town and Cinnamon Shore…this is the place. It’s an older condo but is very well taken care of and has everything that you could possibly need. The view is absolutely beautiful! Pools were very clean as well. It’s literally a walk down to the beach! Sunrise is like no other, if you are up early enough. Was a wonderful pick for an overnight get away from the city.

Coconut Lagoon - Boardwalk to the BEACH
A beautiful home that is both peaceful and relaxing. Everything that one would need such as fresh linen, a coffee bar (nice touch), bathroom amenities (shampoo, soap, body wash etc) and wifi. Location was only 5 minutes walk from the beach and again, there were plenty of supplies to take with you to the beach (beach chairs, a canopy and a wagon to carry everything in). Next door is Cinnamon Shore which has some shops and restaurants however we went downtown Port Aransas for food and shopping. Overall, we enjoyed our time there. My spouse said that the beach was the best beach she's experienced for relaxing and playing in the surf ( even better than the those in Thailand, Costa Rica, Mexico, Dubai etc) and Susan's place is right there.

NEW! The Shipwreck Beachfront Studio
The studio suite is nicely renovated and spacious. It’s part of a hotel that is being renovated due to flooding, but this suite has ocean view and easily accessible thru the beach or from the hotel parking lot. The deck has partitions to give you privacy from the neighbors when you step out. There’s plenty of sun so an umbrella would be useful to lounge around on the deck. The USS Lexington and aquarium are walking distance. There’s a gas station not too far if you need snacks, but no major grocery stores. So a vehicle is necessary to move around.

Perfect Paradise Condo, Kontiki, Rockport
wonderful place, location is great for fishing and peaceful time all around!

Beach Music-Fabulous Beach Front Condo-Sea Sunrise
Peaceful stay at this beautiful condo! Loved the location and the close proximity to the beach. The provided beach gear (chairs and towels) made it very easy to pack up and go. The condo itself was clean and spacious and provided enough space for our family of 5 to spread out. It was close enough to Port A to get some shopping and dining experiences, while private enough to have our own space on the beach and pool. We were not aware of the construction prior to arriving and while it did not cause large issues, the noise was loud for several long portions of a couple of afternoons so we found other things to do outside of the condo! We were very thankful to find charged lanterns during several power outages during a bigger storm that passed through. All in all, would definitely recommend this space for families with 10+ yr old children or adults.

Waterfront Rockport Home w/ Dock & 3 Kayaks!
We loved this home. We felt right at home with all of the comforts we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and some spices in the pantry. The linens were all clean, and there was enough to go around. The deck was a wonderful area to hang out and relax while the boys fished and did some kayaking. We will definitely return to this home!

Steps to Beach 3BR Oceanfront | Patio | W/D
Very nice place right on the beach with a great view. Will do again!

Cheers! You found "The Good Life Villa"
Bed was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay.

Beach Bum-galow
Had a great stay next to the beach.

Rustic Shores MP105 | Beach Access | Resort Pools
Our trip was short but will definitely be back! Everything was clean and tidy. The connivence of being on the first floor and being able to walk right out to the pool and down to the beach while carrying a baby plus supplies was perfect. Host was very responsive but honestly I didn’t need to reach out much because everything was supplied and as described. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!
