Everything was good. The only negative was the property’s location on the listing. Vrbo listed it as in Port Aransas. Had I taken more time to do the research and read more reviews, I would have noticed it was in Corpus Cristi.

For the amount of time we spent in the room it was great. But you might check for bed bugs or fleas. My wife was itching all over her body all weekend and my brother in law had 5 fleas in his socks.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jul, 2025
Thanks for letting us know your concerns. We did a thorough inspection of the property and didn’t find any signs of fleas or bed bugs inside. Sometimes fleas can come from outdoor areas like the beach or surrounding spots. We appreciate your feedback and want to ensure your next stay is comfortable and worry-free.

Overall great experience, location cannot be beat!Some major downsides, access to the in-room washer and dryer was locked out with no guest access. The balcony sliding glass doors did not lock. The neighbors smoking marijuana traveled into the HVAC leaving our room smelling like dope. The fire alarm for the unit went off several times, the front office shrugged us off saying it was someone in the shower, maintenance was called and showed up almost two hours later, also triggered when we were checking out reason we were told the door was left open too long as we loaded luggage into the car.

Condo was clean and had all necessary items. Only item i would suggest is to give more trash bags and dishwasher soap. One issue arose during our stay and while the initial contact from property manager was unacceptable, the manager immediately reached out and made it right. Appreciated that! Second time we have stayed and will probably stay again.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept, 2023
Thank you for your review! We do supply a starter amenity pack that is sufficient enough until you have time to shop. We typically do not replenish these items. We are happy to hear that the issue was resolved quickly with our manager! Look forward to hosting you again!

Great location on a beautiful beach- great spot for kids! Property description was accurate. The LR furniture extrememely dirty but the condo overall was clean enough. The refrigerator took a long time to get cool. The stove needs to be replaced - crooked heating elements made it difficult to cook. The rental management was very helpful and friendly.

Reviewer Comments:
This property was great for our 3 day stay. Right on the beach and plenty of room for a family of 4. My only suggestions for improvement are more shower towels because 1 towel/person is not enough when there isn't a washer or dryer in the room, and a dust pan with a broom would have been nice, so we could very easily clean up the sand. I would definitely stay here again for a weekend trip.
Furnishings are a little threadbare, there are holes in the walls and the towel rod in the master bathroom is about to fall off of the wall. Kitchen is updated but electric range made me glad we weren't planning on cooking.
The location is wonderful, you can listen/watch the waves roll in from 2 of the balconies. Nice pool area. Walk through the pool area and down to the beach.
Upon arrival, we noticed that the floors were gritty. We brushed it off as we already had sand on our shoes. Then we unpacked and noticed that there were skittles under a decorative table, there we’re nail clippings on the floor, a fishing line weight (of which we didn’t bring any fishing supplies), a pill, battery and popped popcorn underneath the master bed. The sheets in the master seemed to have some sort of remnants of a scab, which were felt upon entering the sheets.
During this current time we live in, we expected a higher level of cleanliness for the condo, this condition was unacceptable. When I called the property manager, they were very quick with a response to send housekeeping. The house keepers shower up 10 mins later, they entered the room and were shocked that we were still here. I told them it was fine, I wanted to show them the areas of concern. The housekeepers were teenage girls, I was expecting a contracted company with uniforms. They seemed frazzled by the areas of concern, stating that this condo was cleaned by them and they had fully detailed.
I can say, I was not impressed, this is the last time we want to stay at this condo. I appreciate the quick response of the property manager, the location of the property, as well as all the other amenities. Yet, my expectations fell very short by all the dirt and remnants that were not cleaned. I also documented pictures, that I would like to share, in regards to all of my findings.
