The Sangria is Aging Well
This property is like a fine woman who has aged through the years. She can still turn heads. The grounds are clean, the grass is manicured, the pool is kept up. There are signs of decay here and there. The salt air takes its toll, which means there is some repairs, but the property is still impressive when compared to the modern-day, boring high-rise.
This particular condo has similar characteristics. Some little things that disappoint like a door that won’t close all the way. To cabinets that could be fixed up a bit. Patio furniture that could be captain chairs to help see the water. Fresh coat of paint. Maybe new linen/towels, etc. (Some of this may not the responsibility of the condo owner itself.)
The lay-out is very nice. Two floors with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The master bedroom looks over the ocean with its own patio/deck. There is no washer/dryer in the unit, but there is coin laundry on premises.
The location is great. It’s a block from the CVS. You could walk out the public beach access right next to the condo and go 2 blocks to get “provisions” for your day at the beach. The Rocotto Grill restaurant/bar is right next door too. You can see a sunrise on the gulf side, and in the evening walk 10 minutes to see the sunset at Longboard on the lagoon side.
The Sangria has many years left. It’s nice to see effort being made to maintain such a classic in South Padre Island. I think with just a small amount of work it could be a great place.
