South Padre Beachfront Condo Rental - Schlitterbahn Water Park
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Sea Vista
We decided to purchase a condo on the Gulf after staying in one in Florida. After much research and visiting the island we discovered South Padre was the place for our dream home. We also wanted to find the perfect family complex. Sea Vista was a perfect fit and we wouldn't trade our condo for any other.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Aside from enjoying the amazing view of the beach, our family loves the private pool and hot tub areas at Sea Vista. The way our buildings are designed (they wrap around the pool area) also provides a nice wind barrier.
Owner's Map of Sea Vista
We are a family of four with two boys. We live in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota and are die hard hockey fans. With the extreme winters in MN it isn't hard to see why South Padre Island is our favorite place in the world.

A Great Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I choose this beachfront condo in South Padre becasue how clean everything looked from the pictures. But we were still just a little worried about what it would really look like when we arrived. We were so very pleased with the location and the condition of the condo. It was right on the beach and being on the 3rd floor was great for being able to get a full view of the Ocean from our bedroom when we went to bed and in the mornings. The condo was clean, updated, comfortable and so relaxing. Although my husband and I had a blast being alone it would have been fun to have grandchildren with us. The bedrooms were large and could sleep many comfortably. We had a great time even with the wind blowing and the rain coming down. We were able to watch the ocean from the bedroom, livingroom and kitchen area. We had a blast and plan on going again with the kids. What a great find.

This was my 1st time renting a condo by the beach as I normally stay in hotels. Lana and Nick made the experience very seamless from the rental contract to getting to the condo and settled in. The condo was very spacious for my kids and extended family to not feel crowded. The view and access to the beach cannot be beat. No big sand dunes in the way which looks to be the case with most of the other beach front condos on SPI. The condo was supplied with everything we needed to make the place feel like home, from beach towels, dishes, small appliances, TVs with DVD players, beach toys, etc. We checked in and hit the beach with all the supplied items in less than 30 mins, it was great! The condo facilities were clean, well maintained, secure, and very quiet during our stay. If I ever come back to SPI, this would be the only place I would stay. Thanks for a wonderful relaxing beach vacation experience that was above and beyond my expectations.

The condo is spacious and lovely. The views of the gulf from the floor-to-ceiling windows and the proximity to the beach are the strong points of this unit. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking. The complex is very clean and nicely landscaped. The security and service staff were friendly and helpful. The bed in the master suite is so comfortable and it is so nice to lie there at night and gaze at the ocean. The beach is private and not crowded. They have added a new walkway to the beach since my last trip which makes beach access even easier. We had a lovely stay and I plan to return.

We had a great experience at SeaVista. Other than a challenge with the air conditioning (which Nick addressed in a very timely manner), our stay was wonderful. There was plenty of room for the four adults and two teenagers during our week-long stay. The description and pictures of the property were very accurate and truthful. Sometimes one wonders about selecting places to stay based on the internet, but Nick and Lana's property was a winner for us. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary appliances. We were even surprised with the waffle maker! The stash of DVD movies was also another great find for our evening relaxation times. The pool and hot tub on the west side provided a nice break from the sand and waves on the beach. We were surprised how windy it was on the beach and on the island in general. During the week, the City of South Padre Island did a nice job of cleaning up the sargasm on the beach. Every morning, they had teams out emptying the trash containers. Schlitterbahn Water Park was a treasure. It wasn't open until the next to the last day of our stay. We had a great time at the park...and the price was right. $38 per person for the whole day was a much better deal than the 5 minute go cart ride for $10! We ate at the Grapevine for breakfast one day. Very good restaurant and very reasonable. We also ate at Scampi's. Very expensive, but fortunately, we were there before 6PM. Their prices are about half before 6. The Psycha Deli was a great place for lunch. We found that through my Yelp App on the iPhone. We ended our stay with breakfast at Isabel's Cafe in Port Isabel. FANTASTIC breakfast. 6 of us ate for $38 and it was amazing. We met Isabel who is a wonderful, faithfilled Christian woman. It was a great experience. All in all...it was a great stay. We will be back!

Our recent stay at Nick and Lana condo on South Padre Island lasted 7 from 3/12 thru 3/19/11 ; but it seemed to be over in the blink of an eye . There are no exaggerations in the Homeaway ad . One will find all the comforts of home in the very best of locations you could possibly desire . I would personally love to rent this condo again but I fear that this little secret of mine will get out and I'd have to be extremely lucky just to get on a 2 year waiting list . Rest assured though I will do my best to get back there soon. HATS OFF TO THE OWNERS nice place

We just spend four spectacular days at the Sea Vista Condo. Nick and Lana - this far surpassed the pictures and our expectations. The closet outside was loaded with beach toys, chairs, and everything we needed. There was more than enough beach towels. The place was very clean and the view was incredible. We took three our six kids and we all had a great time. Definitely would recommend the Pirate Ship Cruise and Grabriella's Italian Restaurant on Padre Blvd - incredible food. The condo was quiet, the residents of the condo are so nice as well as the staff. We felt like we had our own private beach. Dirty Al's is a good place to eat also and Blackbeards. Loved that there was a washer and dryer. Thank you so much for sharing your condo - we will definitely be back.

Wow! I just spent seven wonderful weeks staying at Nick and Lana's condo. I've also reserved seven weeks for next year, which I think verifies what I am saying. The condo was warm and welcoming, comfortable, and very well stocked with everything from beach toys to great kitchen tools. The view is worth a million dollars, and the security was excellent (a comfort, because I was alone much of the time, which hadn't been the original plan.) I owe the Strubs a big thank-you for all they did to make my vacation a wonderful experience. They even updated the internet connections in their condo when the building's system failed. See you in January!

Our family met up in Texas and spent Christmas together at this condo on South Padre. We had a wonderful, relaxing time, building sand castles, walking on the beach, swimming in the pool (or sitting in the hot tub) and making dinners together. The condo is directly on the beach and this unit has a deck and many windows facing the ocean/beach. The condo was clean and quiet and everyone we dealt with from the owners to the security staff were very nice and helpful. At this time of year, South Padre is low key and relaxing. We would definitely visit South Padre again and if we do we would stay here again.

The condo is wonderful. Everything we were looking forward to and so much more. We so enjoyed our early morning sunrises from the master bedroom. The kitchen was so well equipped, everything was clean and plenty of items provided to enjoy the beach. Everything described in your add is modest... your place is wonderful. Lana and Nick, you are so easy to make arrangements with that you changed our perspective on staying in a private condo vs. hotel. Thank you so much.
