Excellent

We enjoyed our stay although it was short. His accommodation in allowing us to check in early due to a wedding was just awesome and we greatly appreciate it.
Quiet and comfortable
Very close to beach. Short walking distance. Decent view of ocean from balcony. Enjoyed sitting out at night. Condo comfortable and clean. Owners were quick to reply to the questions we had during our stay. Will definitly stay again.
I absolutely fell in love with this property you can tell that it is very well taken care of the neighborhood is so nice and quiet the people are so friendly I would say definitely 10 out of 10 go there
Nice location. Close to the beach.
Spacious. Affordable. Owner very responsive.
Need improvement ( mattress…ceiling fan…blind…personal items in lockers ).
This 1b1b condo with pull out couch was perfect for our family of 3 but would definitely accommodate family of 4 with plenty of space! It was clean and very affordable! We would definitely stay here again. Walking distance to Ellis park beach area and short drive to port A!
My wife and I moved from Arizona to Texas and loved the Beach Home we rented. Tt was very comfortable and decorated nicely! It had all the amenities we needed. Felt like home after a few days. We would love to stay there again sometime. I have told my friends about this beach home. The Host was very friendly which made our stay even nicer. We loved it.
Great location and price. Truly beach on a budget. Very nice and spacious place. We loved the Amazon Prime Video on the TV. If you are staying more than a weekend you will need to bring your own household items to last your stay, toilet paper, aluminum foil, etc but island market is just up the road. Glimpse of the ocean off the balcony was really nice to have included as part of the rental. One street up from the beach so we would definitely stay here again.
We unfortunately scheduled our stay when Hurricane Beryl decided to show up, so we didn’t don’t get our full experience, but our hosts were far nicer than Mother Nature. The condo driveway and outer appearance are a little confusing, but the interior of the condo is beautiful. We had adults, an infant, and a dog and still had plenty of room. I did wish we had brought a fan or two because the AC can’t run under 74 which was a little warm for me, but I have no complaints…other than about the National Weather Service’s ability to predict hurricane landings (which was nowhere near Corpus, lol)
This condo is in the neighborhood perfect location. Walking distance to the beach is manageable, pool is clean and enjoyable, house is clean and comfortable. Only complaint is minimal hot water but other than that it is perfect and we will definitely come again. We cooked most meals there and slept comfortably. Nice and quiet. It is on the second floor which didn’t bother us but if you have issues with stairs this might be an issue. Host was so kind and quick to respond. I can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend.
Everything was fine until we got back from a long day at the beach and wanted to take a shower. Unfortunately, there was no hot water. We were all just tired and wanted to go to bed so we didn’t want to bother calling and waiting for someone to come fix it.
The house smelled horrible and the outside property was trashy. There was mold on the air vents and the site said it was 150 yards to the water it was more like 300 and you could not walk to it too much stuff to cross over. You could even see the water from the house at all!!! I was very disappointed so we did not stay at the house and went to a hotel and spent another 600 for it!
the condo was nice. Very minimal furnishing. The springs on the one bed were so noisy and poked when you moved that we had to sleep on the pull out couch bed. The dishwasher appeared to be so unclean I hand washed all dishes. I had never stayed in a condo that was not furnished with paper towels, adequate dish soap or bath soap. The Host did supply all of the items when I contacted them but let me know if was not standard practice. It was my first VRBO and I am surprised at the differences between VRBO and other rental agencies.

No matter your budget you deserve better as a customer
The place was dirty, pots and pans rusty. They provided 2 small pots and a skillet, no pot for cooking pasta or boiling eggs. No lie, i handwashed everything in that kitchen before i would use it. The bed was a queen and its long over due to be changed out. Dont rollover in the middle of the night because ir squeaks so loud you will wake the dead. The point of vrbo over hotel is not having to eat out. This place you will be eating out or going to walmart to buy your cooking supplies. I know the owner is going to try and respond to this in an agressive like all the previous negative comments. I have pictures of proof. This place should not be allowed to advertise under VRBO.
