This room hosted 8 of us for spring break. 2 separate families (both with children 10 and under) and had everything we could have asked for. The cabinets were stocked with all of the essentials and made going to the beach a breeze. The location was perfect and the pool/ hot tub was a great place to hangout. The host was very responsive and made check in/out instructions simple and easy to follow. We typically vacation in Florida and we were very impressed to find this little gem in south Padre. 10/10!

Our family has stayed at Ocean Vista Tower multiple times because of its great location, but this is our first time at this unit. The ocean and beach view from the spacious balcony is bar none the best ever. We will return and hope we can nab this place again! Managers highly responsive to all inquiries.

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Carolyn Patten

Host profile image
We are Mike and Carolyn Patten and we live at South Padre. We fell in love with South Padre Island and the Rio Grande Valley on our first visit there. We live at SPI to enjoy the beautiful beach and the peaceful island lifestyle. There are so many fun activities for people of all ages and interests. We have tried to provide every possible amenity that we could think of so that you and your family will feel right at home. We have been blessed with many fond memories here and we hope that you are able to create some of your own. We welcome you to come and enjoy our little piece of paradise! We welcome you to come and experience what we believe is the best that life has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Having been visitors/vacationers to the island for years, we ultimately chose to purchase at Ocean Vista Towers due to the quality, condition, and privacy of this condominium complex combined with the pristine beaches and breathtaking ocean views. We looked at many other condos but found that Ocean Vista Towers offered the best combination of everything we were looking for and its central location made it the stand out choice. We definitely made the right choice!

What makes this property unique

Ocean Vista Towers is centrally located on South Padre Island. This twelve story condominium is located on the beach front and all units face the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. You are able to enjoy gorgeous sunrises in the morning and breathtaking sunsets in the evening from our 3rd floor condo with a large wrap around balcony. This complex features two swimming pools, hot tub, tennis courts, basketball goal, children's adventure playset, cardio workout room, and gated parking for guest. The friendly, on-site management staff keeps everything in tip top shape.
