Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
We're a busy family of four that lives in the oft-frozen tundra of St Paul, Minnesota. We love spending time together (when it's not interrupted by work and kids' activities of all kinds). On our trips to South Padre Island, my daughter especially loves to explore the dunes and the shells of the beach. My son enjoys learning to play tennis at Sea Vista and the view from the top of the Port Isabel lighthouse.
Why the Owner Chose Sea Vista
South Padre Island is relatively undiscovered. And especially at Sea Vista, we enjoy the solitude and family friendliness of this end of the island. SPI provides a getaway location for our family and friends, especially in the depths of winter. I'm planning a fall golf outing with some buddies this year.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
Our condo is literally right on the beach at ground level. What convenience! When you consider having to take chairs, awnings, coolers and such to enjoy yourself on the beach, it's easy to understand why this family-friendly unit is perfectly situated.
Hurricane Dolly (2008) was hard on our unit, but we turned the disaster into an advantage for our guests by remodeling and refreshing the entire unit.

The property is everything the owner says it is. Great location, clean and well-maintained. The building is very quiet. I wanted a place to get away and relax and this was it!

Although a cold front followed us to Sunny Padre, it didn't matter. Sitting on a couch looking out of floor to ceiling windows at the beach was almost as wonderful as being out there under an umbrella. This condo is beautiful and is in a great complex, that is spotless and secure. Everything you could possibly need is available (bring your hair dryer though) soft sheets, fluffy towels, dishes and pots and pans galore! And the view, the view, the view, has to be the best view on the whole island. It was so hard to leave and I cannot wait to come back again. This is an excellent condo for families. Eat dinner at Dirty Al's for the best seafood and Yummy's for breakfast or lunch, delicious!

best condo we've stayed in

We have rented condos on South Padre many times, and this was the best. The view and location couldn't be beat. The condo has been recently rennovated. It is very clean as well with no signs of insects (something I worried about with a ground floor unit). The owner, Jim was a pleasure as well. This condo is great for families, from a pack-n-play to sandtoys and games, and plenty of space. We are hoping to rent this condo again next summer.

Our family had a great time at Sunny Padre! Even though we had a little rain - we were still able to enjoy the beach and the pool. Our condo was equipped with everything we needed - lots of extras - like toys, boogie boards, and beach umbrellas.

My family went down to Padre and stayed in Jim's wonderful condo! We had an absolute blast. We took my daughter (2years old) for the first time to the beach and it was so much fun! The location is ideal... you just walk out the back door and you are at the sand. The condo is in great updated condition and is stocked with linens and kitchen appliances/utensils. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation. We cannot wait to return!

This was our 3rd weeklong stay at Sunny Padre. The condo is roomy and spotless, the rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, the location is convenient and the views are spectacular. The kitchen has anything and everything you would ever need. I can't say enough about the whole package! Communicating with the owners and staff is always quick and thorough. My e-mails and phone calls are answered swiftly and efficiently. My family and I would recommend this unit with enthusiasm! As far as activities, we "beach it" 90% of the time, cook at home, dine out at Dirty Al's , YUM, and walk the shore. There is swim time at the complex, which has a wonderful pool and lounging area. In and around town there are multitudes of activities: fishing, shopping, sea turtle nursery and rehab, kayaking, wind sailing etc. All in all, I feel this annual vacation for our family is my favorite and I'm sure the rest of the family agree!!!

Review Submitted: 04/25/11
We have stayed in numerous SPI hotels and condos over the past 15 years, but this condo was by far our best experience. All as described and stocked way above average for our day to day needs. Only negative for me was there are no windows to open and enjoy the sea breezes. Coming from Minnesota in the middle of winter, we look forward to being able to leave the windows open, especially at night.
Owner response:I agree, it would be nice to have a window or two open to let the ocean breeze in. Unfortunately, this would put such a strain on the A/C system that it would prove problematic. Plus, humidity and building interiors don't play together well in South Texas.
Recommended for:Families with young children, age 55+.

This was a nice condo with new kitchen and huge bedrooms. Double full beds (rather than twins) in the third bedroom was a nice touch. Owner is great to rent from. He is efficient and organized, just like the condo. However, the number one feature of this condo is the ocean right out your door. It is great for families because you are only a few hundred feet from the water and you don't have to carry everything out to the beach for the day.This was such a convenience with kids. You can't beat a short walk to the condo to get food, refresh drinks or use the bathroom. This is a great place for a family vacation.

Cedar family vacation

Review Submitted: 04/02/11
This place was so perfect for a family vacation. I only wish the water park next door had been open. We took walks on the beach, swims in the ocean and pool, golfing, fishing, the girls rode horses on the beach while the boys drove four wheelers in the sand dunes, we grilled at the condo for dinner a couple of nights while enjoying the warm weather and beautiful ocean view, we also ate at some wonderful restaurants. This condo was very clean and spacious for our family of 6. Thank you for letting us stay at this wonderful condo. We hope to be back in a couple of years for the water park action! The Cedar Family.
Owner response:The good news about the adjacent water park is that, in addition to the outdoor facility that is open seasonally, they will be developing an indoor water park as well. Both conveniently located to Sunny Padre! Stay tuned.

Spring Break 2011

We arrived at the tail end of Texas Spring Break, we were so delighted to find the condo in a nice, quiet area, well equipped, sparking clean and ready for us to hunker down for a couple of days until the entire state of Texas left SPI. Once things got a bit quieter, we were out and about, walked the beach twice a day, bbq-ed pretty much every night, enjoyed every single thing about the condo. Our kids are 15 and 13, they loved the big bedrooms and having their own bathroom, my husband and I woke up every morning and enjoyed the sunrise and our morning coffee outside. It was a wonderful week, I had been to North Padre when I was a kid, so this was a joy to share SPI with my husband and children. The condo has absolutely everything you could want or need, the kitchen is very well stocked, the beach toys are plentiful, beach towels are there ready for you, nice big white fluffy bath towels and being right on the beach is exactly where we wanted to be.
