Overall, the experience was amazing. Location was great, close to everything and the beaches. Communication with host was great and very easy. The guest bathtub drained extremely slowly but host was quick to respond and attempting to get someone out to fix it but unfortunately we were at the beach when they scheduled it, and the main bathrooms water pressure was limited but we made do because it did get the job done. If you have young children, look into another house because this one is not child proof and has a huge glass table in the family room. Other than that, will definitely rebook with the host but in a different home that’s more kid friendly! Zero issues or complaints!

Long weekend

We were looking for an easy place to stay in Corpus Christi to get away for Mothers Day weekend. This property was quiet and easy to find, right on the water. It was exactly what we needed, and would recommend to anyone looking for a home base for their trip.

Perfect location

We loved the property, views and location. The location is perfect for boating, kayaking and fishing from the varied piers. The property offered great views of the sunrise and the restaurants just over the bridge offered great views of the sunset. It was a quick drive to PINS, Texas State Aquarium and other attractions that my teens thoroughly enjoyed. Would absolutely stay again!

Due to the AC not working, we (my family included a teen, an 80 year old and a dog!) actually stayed in Rosate Spoonbill a few houses down. The manager was very responsive and accommodating and we couldn't be happier with the place ( which was spotless and had everything we needed), the neighborhood, the proximity to the bay. Would definitely rent from Avantstay again.

Corpus

Unit was beautiful and clean. We stayed at this location on a cross country trip. Corpus was not one of our favorite stops. Unit itself not near a beach and not a great place to walk the dog. Process of getting in and out of the unit was great.

Thank you for your feedback, Chris! We're glad to hear that you found the unit beautiful and clean, and that the check-in process was seamless.

Really cute

This house was really cute, super clean, and came with all the little necessities like laundry detergent, dish detergent, kitchen sponge, bathroom supplies. Also left a little goodie bag that was fun. Only downside has nothing to do with the property but the location. Strong sulfur smell coming off of the Gulf on the road to the house.

Thank you, Amanda! We're so happy you loved the house and all the little details. Sorry to hear about the sulfur smell—it can definitely be unpredictable near the Gulf. Hope to host you again in the future! 😊🏡✨

Nice!!!… But

The Management Company is not transparent with the booking process. When booking with VRBO, the full rental price is transacted by your bank, but AvantStay does not accept the payment from VRBO. You then get txt messages asking you to pay again. This process is very unclear upfront, almost seems like a scam. Had to go thru the process of having funds released from the bank, etc etc etc. While no fault of the owners, don’t expect to enjoy evenings on the patio. The rotting sea grass is unbearable, at least during the summer months. Everything about the house is great except the master bed and pillows. It’s well furnished, towels, and amenities were great.The last thing was the trickery with the listing photos. While yes, you are ‘waterfront’ don’t expect to access the water. There is rubble, trash, and a fence. It’s not accessible. Then again with the smell associated with the rotting sea grass, wouldn’t want to access the water regardless. All that said it was fine, we only slept there and spent our time at Padre.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Mike. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion with the booking process and any frustration it caused. We strive to make the payment and check-in process as clear as possible, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We also apologize that the waterfront access and outdoor experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the patio, sea grass, and listing representation have been noted, and we’ve reviewed our listing to ensure it accurately reflects the property and its surroundings. We’re glad to hear that you found the home comfortable and well-equipped, and we appreciate your constructive feedback as it helps us improve for future guests. Thank you again, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you under better circumstances.
