Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2007

We are from California but enjoy the warmer beaches of the Texas Gulf Coast. South Padre Island is one of our favorite vacation destinations....please come visit!

Why the Owner Chose Calm Seas

South Padre Island has beautiful swimming beaches. The warm weather can be enjoyed year round. We love the relaxed less crowded island feel. There is always plenty of experiences to enjoy from casual to fine dining, horseback riding on the beach, fishing, an afternoon at the spa or just watching the waves while building a sand castle.

The Unique Benefits of this Condo

While on vacation, we want you to feel pampered with inviting accommodations, comfortable beds, luxury sheets and towels, and all the amenities that you might need while away from home.

We chose to stay at the Calm Seas Condo during the first week of October which was a great time if you prefer less tourists. The condo was cozy and clean. We loved the beach decor that added to the SPI theme. The beach was less than a five minute walk and well maintained. A cooler, beach chairs and children's toys were available for the beach if needed . The use of the washer and dryer was a real time saver. We can't think of anything that you would need to bring that hadn't been provided. We flew and chose not to rent a car. The free shuttle on the island, "The Wave" was always available and taxi service for early morning fishing trips was never a problem. There are many great Seafood and Mexican restaurants within walking distance. Be sure to take your catch of the day to Daddy's to be prepared for a small fee, we went several times. There are many nearby places to rent bikes to ride on the beach for a very small fee. Shelby, the owner, made scheduling our trip to her condo easy. We would return to Calm Seas our next trip to SPI. This was our first time using VRBO and we were very pleased as to how easy it was.

Very Nice Condo!

Guest: Scott (Denver)
Date of Stay: 07/25/11 Review Submitted: 08/01/11

This condo was very clean and comforable. Great kitchen, nice furnishings, and very spacious for a one bedroom. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the gulf and close to everything really. The beach access at the end of the street (just 4 houses down) opens onto a very nice section of beach. There was great swimming and it was never too crowded while we were there (at the height of the busy season.) The owner was a pleasure to deal with, the manager was friendly an helpful, and overall I would not have any hesitation in recommending this property. Hope we can stay there again on our next trip to South Padre!

Stayed here in July and everything was great. The proximity to the beach (5 minute walk) was outstanding and the accommodations were awesome. The owners have taken great care in preparing a tastefully decorated place. We really felt like we were home. This was our first vacation rental experience and we can only hope they will all be like this.

We are a family of 5 that stayed at Calm Seas in August 2010. This condo is very close the beach <about a 2 minute walk>, and is has very nice decor. Even the sleeper sofa provided a decent night's sleep! Property manager very accessible and helpful. Owner was immediately available by phone to help me through one issue with the internet access which was quickly resolved. Our favorites on the island ~ National Seashore <lots of shells here!>, Schlitterbahn <get there 15 minutes before opening on weekdays for short lines in the a.m.>, Amberjacks Restaurant. Thanks Shelby ~ we'll be back!

My husband, myself and our two daughters spent 4 nights @ the Calm Seas condo and we loved it. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean and very cute! My daughters who are 2 and 3 LOVED the bunk beds! The beach is literally a 2 minute walk from the door of the condo and is very nice! We had a great time Shelby and plan on coming back again soon! It was so comfortable and homey we didn't want to leave! Thanks for letting us use your condo!

We just came back from a wonderful trip at your awesome condo! the kids and hubby were very pleased with your place and we all slept and relaxed so well. You had everything we needed and it was truly a home away from home. We actually spent more time inside than on the beach lol! Well thanks again and we look forward to making the trip out next year!!!

Just wanted to thank you (& Don, the manager) for making our stay such a great one. Every detail of the condo from decor to the amenities was so special & we really liked the kid-friendliness of the place (way to go on the wagon idea!). My 2 & 4 year olds especially loved their stay in the bunk bed area & my husband & I appreciated the extra space in our room b/c of it. I also wanted to thank you for offering very reasonable rates. You will be one I will recommend for sure. -- The Elliott Family

This place is absolutely a must to stay condo. Very nicely decorated, very functional, they have everything from toys to beach umbrella, beach chairs not to mention very close to the beach...made our stay so pleasant. And the owner Shelby is a very nice lady, answered all my questions and was very caring. We had a great spring break and definitely will be going back and staying at the same place!

We stayed at this condo for the month of February in 2010. The condo was perfect for our family-of-four-on-a-budget needs. The semi-private patio in the back was a great place to hang out with the kids protected from the wind, but still in the sunshine. The owners provided lots of very helpful amenities such as a cooler, beach toys, and beach chairs. The kitchen and laundry appliances were very nice and modern. The condo is very nicely furnished. Being located on the ground level was very convenient for us when dealing with groceries, our infant children, strollers, trash disposal, etc... The neighbors in the building were all nice. My only two complaints are that the hot water needed to be hotter, even at full hot in the shower it was not hot enough for us and the hot water thermostat was hard to access, so I could not modify it myself for the month. Second the toilet paper holder in the bath needs a new location, sounds trivial, but after a month of the toilet seat hanging up on the toilet paper holder it gets frustrating. Those are two very minor complaints for our otherwise fantastic vacation. We would stay here again. Thanks Shelby.
