Without a balcony their children were not safe. **PLEASE SCAMMERS LEAVE ME ALONE! I know your trick. **I have as youtube video that I cannot download from a few years ago (copy paste) https://www.youtube.com/@roxb2512/videos **I AM FINALLY A PREMIER HOST.5 STAR REVIEWS ARE REQUIRED. I am very upset at A system where 1-4 star review kicks me out.I had a 1 star review last august. He lied to get money back.All the other requirements I am 100% but I cant control peoples reviews. **I do ask you to be patient with me however as I am kind of out of practice with what I need to do. Its been a long time. BTW once booked I precheck you in.You just need to finish the check in. If you check in before 3, it is usually not busy & thus quick. **IF ELEVATOR IS OUT, THE OFFICE WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR THINGS UP & DOWN THE STAIRS. That is their job. It is usually fixed within hours or the next day. The ocean air wrecks havoc with metal. My condo lock is replaced every couple of years as are faucets. **This condo is on Corpus Christi bay not the gulf of Mexico or ocean. "Texas beach watch" checks Texas beaches for bacteria & the bay has the same low bacteria as the gulf. **PLEASE REVIEW ME & MY CONDO ONLY, NOT THINGS OUT OF MY CONTROL like weather, elevators (All building ELEVATORS OFF & ON), cable TV internet out, seasonal jellyfish (buy repellent), beach s&, condition of buildings, very rare occasion city waterline break, electricity out, etc. COMPLEX STILL NEEDS WORK! **RIGHT ON BEACH, not just beach view (dont do it but you could throw something from the balcony & it will land on the beach) **Inquires usually answered within an hour daytime. **COMPARE TOTAL PRICE: VIEW DETAILS for extra fees I don't have **8 AM CHECK IN'S & 5 PM CHECK OUTS. Some charge $65.00/ hour for this.24/7 check ins most days (I give up 2 days of rental to do this). Like getting extra days. Everyone else has a 11 am check out & 4 pm check in. **HONEST PRICE:BEYOND MY CONTROL taxes(30 days+=no tax),VRBO,& complex $20.00 check in. **Labor day to before memorial day weekend= $pring RATES CHEAPER & weekday=cheaper. *100% owner managed! BEWARE,I am told, I am helpful, friendly & consider everyone like family. My honesty & those of others, I value most. *NO FITNESS ROOM YET. (damaged Texas freeze) **SAFETY FIRST: After booking I text you to assure I am a real person, not a scam. **Per upgraded points web site "North Beach is One of the 12 BEST BEACHES IN TEXAS 2021"(pretty, warm water, family safe, opportunities to fish & sail, best bird-watching in country,& stunning sunsets) **BY BOOKING, you agree to HOUSE RULES & conditions of use. Thank you for understanding. There is no limit to questions you can ask. VRBO WELCOME GUIDE & I have a guest information book. **BEACH=VERY FEW PEOPLE. Soap, h& sanitizer,& bleach available & condo always disinfected between uses. POSTPONEMENT ALWAYS AVAILABLE WITH ME AFTER REFUND DEADLINE. Book with me & discover how much free extras you REALLY GET! I can't express it enough: YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR A TRUE BAY FRONT(only 30 units) because they are LARGER, balcony is private(only viewed from beach)& end in 00 to 05 & you get a 180° beach view verses a 45° VIEW with bay views(ends in 06 to 45).THERE ARE 5 CLOSETS(bay-views=4) & under bunk cabinets for storage. You pay good money so I want to make sure you have the best vacation ever by supplying all amenities & customer service you need. I HAVE QUICKLY ANSWERED EACH & EVERY REVIEW(good/bad),EMAIL OR TEXT. **No hidden cameras inside. For your security I have installed a ring doorbell outside (presently not back on) . I do not monitor it except check out day to know when to clean. **RETURN GUESTS HUGE DISCOUNTS. Text me. **I apologize for lengthy listing but I believe I have all questions answered. If not, ask me. I have 68 true pictures of every square inch of my condo & a video(CLICK VIEW ALL PICTURES,PICTURE 3). *Everything is electric & thus NO DEADLY CO2 POISON *Having survived HURRICANE Harvey with not much damage at the complex or my home nearby, I would like to assure you unless eye of hurricane is within 25 to 150 miles away, the only inconvenience is rain & a little wind. **4 years ago this North Beach complex(see last picture) but it is being fixed up VERY VERY slowly Think of complex as having TONS OF CHARACTER(lol). However, inside condo itself is a very cozy,1 bedroom, clean,& simple, casually beachfront decorated, not formally elegant. Reviews said some things are outdated(pictures are all recent & dated),but I do not believe in redecorating when things are still useful. **I own & manage one unit (2300: building 2, 4th floor). My condo is very kid friendly with one of the BEST 180° PANORAMIC VIEW at this complex(20 miles in each direction). Condo:480 SQUARE FEET whereas typical hotel room:350 sq. ft & bay views are 420 sq. ft. I live 10 minutes away should there be ANY problems at all. Property is gated with security. **This is only 1 of 4 of its kind at this complex(on top floor at end: There is only one condo to the left & one condo underneath(no sounds of feet on ceiling). Also, no foot traffic outside door because it is at very end, away from stairs & elevator(see pic map) & VERY,V,QUIET but noise is not frowned upon. **Listen to waves, enjoy coffee,& watch dolphins from a private balcony. Balcony is shaded after 12 noon so there is no hot afternoon sun. Relax completely in shade. **You could drop something from balcony & it will l& on beach. You can actually watch teenagers & adults in the water from balcony & run down stairs in a minute. Beach is much safer with no driving on beach & no rip tides. **ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS AFTER CHECK IN: see cancellations.. Be very sure before booking to read all of this listing. I have said if condo is dirty (should not be) I have supplies in the condo to clean it. **Everything is supplied in kitchen you would ever need: EMERGENCY SUPPLIES WHEN NEEDED, high chair when requested, lots of pots, pans, bake ware, utensils,22 spices, BBQ TOOLS, wine corkscrew, pizza cutter, full fridge. ice trays, blender, microwave, toaster, can opener, ground coffee maker, PROVIDED filtered coffee packs not Keurig, CROCK POT! There are all kinds & lots of BEACH TOYS, Tonka like trucks(cart to tote them to beach),binoculars(ships, birds, DOLPHINS),free WIFI, hundreds of DVD MOVIES,ROKU & lots of apps(Netflix, Hulu etc.),pool noodles, boogie boards, TP for each day up to 7,1 paper towel, complementary coffee, sugar, cream,2 beach chairs,2 chaises, gripper umbrella stand but UMBRELLA broke, 2 beach towels, beach mats, small drink cooler ice chest holds 8 drinks, Dyson vacuum cleaner, all cleaning supplies, dish soap, liquid soap(diluted for foaming container),hotel supplies, library of novels, spare light bulbs,& more, just ask! Two 40" wall mounted TVs. Other owners have seen what I offer & then offer them also. I accept that risk. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS DURING YOUR STAY INSTEAD OF GIVING ME A BAD REVIEW. **SIX PERSONS MAXIMUM NO MATTER HOW SMALL! This only sleeps 4 adults & 2 children under age 18 maximum(bunk beds are for those under 5' 5" & ARE VERY NARROW:CHILDREN ONLY). 5 OR 6 ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 18 IS NOT ALLOWED in one condo at VDS SUBJECT TO EVICTION by VDS. **Close to everything. Biking & walking on beach boardwalk to restaurants, shops, & sites is highly recommended (parking for aquarium $5.00). Bikes can be kept in one of 2 bike racks(securely locked) on property or taken up elevator & stored in hallway or balcony of condo, albeit a little crowded. **NO pets, but Barkaritaville pet resort or Ruff-inn Pet Lodge will board animals in luxurious conditions. ** I expect guests to leave condo as they found it. I then clean, sanitize it completely & wash linens (IN CLOSET THAT I LEAVE OPEN) in hot water & Downy Unstoppables, Dyson Vacuum cleaner & cleaning supplies provided. THIS IS RENTED AS IS.1- I will do my best to clean it(bleaching everything that can be bleached, vacuuming, dusting)but 2-if you need more cleaning(or are a neat freak),my cleaning supplies or ones you prefer & buy, will clean it better. Chances are I will miss some small cleaning & I apologize. In other words, there is no maid service 3-I will charge you 150.00 & hire a professional to clean if you want.(I DO NOT CLEAN INSIDE CUPBOARDS OR DRAWERS. You should always clean items before use) I use foggers & defense spray(kept in closet)every month so I might miss the occasional dead bug in closet. Beaches & palm trees attract giant Texas size water bugs(keep doors closed)so there might be an occasional live one ready to die in my sprayed all the time condo. **FYI: 5 charcoal grills. **CANCELLATIONS:NONE AFTER CANCELLATION TIME PERIOD. For true emergencies I will, however, offer rescheduling that must be done within 3 months if there is availability. If not used within that time, offer will expire. **IMPORTANT: Previous guest could make copies of keys,& lost key fees.NO KEYS TO THIS CONDO.

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Strip any used beds and gather used towels
Remove personal items and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
I believe the office still has a drop box to drop off the gate key cards. You dont need to actually check out just return the card.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Fantastic beachfront location, private balcony directly facing the uncrowded beach, with a great of of the WWII aircraft carrier USS Lexington. Charming condo, very clean, and showing some wear. Host was very kind, thank you for a lovely stay!

Thank you so much. I always am afraid when VRBO says a guest left a review. I try so hard to go overboard with my guests and still people give me a bad review.
Thank you again.
I am very upset. I was amazing and yet I get 3 stars and kicked out of the Club. I dont know why I even try. She didnt even say what went wrong. I clearly say in my listing that I am only responsible for communication and the condo itself. BUT I GET 3 STARS. I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!
Great room! Right on the beach! The view was amazing! Definitely will be coming back again!

If my math is correct, I just need one more 5 star review to be back in the premier host club.
Thank you so much Pedro for helping me get closer.
Several years ago I decided that I love communicating with guests, I loved taking money from guests but I did not like to clean. I hired someone but I have much higher standards.
So I did this experiment that I wont charge a cleaning fee if you clean it the way you found it. It has worked very well over the years. Most times, like today, I think its actually cleaner than I left it. Thank you so so much.
And thank you by drying out the balcony rugs when we got a sudden strong downpour.
Also I brought another vacuum cleaner that works. Sorry about that.
Property is exactly as advertised. The property is older, the space is small, everything was comfortable, and the view could not be beat. Im already planning my next visit.

"Due to a policy change, review responses are temporarily hidden on your property page. You can continue responding to travelers as usual while we work on a solution." Review responses are temporarily hidden so I hope they fix it soon, First you were the only person who could only see year old reviews and we talked about that. I am glad I was able to answer all your small questions as I always say I encourage questions. I look forward to your next visit. Thank yo again for the review. Text me next time.
Location was perfect! Walking distance to shops and restaurants and beach was literally right there!!Communication with host was great! Very responsive. Hope to be back

Thank you so much. As I replied before, even though I try very hard, I dont always get the 5 stars that VRBO requires to be a premier host. Because of that one star review, I now only need 5 more 5 star reviews. So thank you, thank you again. I am also glad that you enjoyed my recommendation of Pier 99. I dont know if the live music is every night and if the music is only in the summer but I think it adds to the amazing view and the general ambience. Your review is why I rent out my home away from home. Mille grazie.
Condo was small, but it's fine because you are there for the beach. We couldnt stay due to sensitivity of movement after a TBI, but the host was accompdating and wonderful!

Thank you so much for your kind remarks. I got to meet you two and talk and learned alot about TBI. I hope someday for some sort of miracle for the TBI. I was glad also that I was able to take care of everything for you and that you were able to have a great vacation at a place that was not affected by TBI. Thank you so much. This was the review I needed to put me back in the premier host club.
The host was so sweet and friendly. She recommended restaurants prior to the trip and checked in on our wellbeing when it appeared a storm may be blowing in. Beautiful view from the balcony and vacation themed decor. Plus, the USS Lexington is right outside the balcony to the right! The main reason we wanted to visit.

Thank you so much for the review. I am sorry that I could not give you a 5 star stay so something must have been wrong. I only wish I knew.
Thank you again.
This is definitely an older property, but is being renovated nicely. The little bungalow was perfect for our quick trip to Corpus Christi. We had everything we needed and sitting on the balcony with the great view of the golf was awesome. It was very easy to get a response from the owner when needed. Being on the corner away from the elevators and the hallway made for a quiet stay.

This has got to stop. I tell guests to clean like they found it not BETTER THAN THEY FOUND IT (LOL). As with almost all my guests, you are now my friend. Now that I have my balcony back one of my repeat guests will be back soon. She sent me a picture of her when she stayed at the villa when she was in 7th grade. She and her 4 children used to come 2 to 3 times a year for the last 5 years or more but was afraid to come when there was no balcony. Her first time she said she would bring her own linens. The second time I did not provide linens and she asked where they were. She then trusted that I indeed had clean linens. Also one time she stayed in another condo and was not happy at all. I miss her and my other friends but I have made another friend. Thank you Vickie.
We really enjoyed the property and the location and had a great time. Rox was very friendly and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.

Thank you SO SO MUCH for your review. I have said this before that it appears everyone has too much fun to write reviews so I really appreciate that you took the time and that it was a very nice review. I am SO SO excited.
I also think how small the world is that one of my ancestors moved to a county near where you live in 1804.
I had no control, however. over the almost 100 degree days which makes the water and the air conditioned condo just fine.
Thank you again so much.
We had 4 adults and one 3yr.old and the size of the apartment was perfect! What we really enjoyed was the beautiful beach scene right off the balcony & the closeness to the beach! Rox communicated with us very easily and promptly if we had any questions. We definitely want to come back!

When VRBO notifies me that a guest left a review, I start to hyperventilate. When I have worked hard to make things great, I get 1 star. I got a bad review before when it rained but as you know it was supposed to rain but I fixed that (LOL)
Thank you so much. First step to getting back in the VRBO Premier club. Thank you so much. Heres to hearing from you for next time.

I appreciate very much having such a perfect guest. And I say that because I know that you did your homework and I "won your booking". Thank you again.
Presently I am excited because I am one who does not leave reviews unless I have a problem and that is not good for companies that I love and people who depend on reviews when buying things or booking accommodations.
I will now be better at giving reviews and again, thank you so so much.
Great balcony view and nice beach! In close proximity to restaurants and bars. Rox was very informative on local events and responded quickly to questions.

I am so thankful for the 5 star review. I learned never to put toilet tabs in the toilet tank when you called that the toilet wasn't working. Although my husband brought all his tools and was there in 30 minutes, we were so glad it was the tab trapped under the flapper and could be fixed so quickly and without more down time.. WHO KNEW. Guests teach me so much and I appreciate it. Thank you again.

Thank you again for everything.
Roxana was an amazing host! She was always going above and beyond to make sure our trip went smoothly and we had a great time. She was always very quick to respond and had a great sense of humor 🙂 The condo was very cozy and felt like home. We will definitely be visiting again in the future!

I am sorry that it took too long to respond. I didn't get a notice that you had given a review.
It was so fun to have you as a guest. Not everyone understands my sense of humor (LOL).
I welcome you coming back. I have many guests who come back once or twice every year. Cheaper rates also.
From the booking til the end everything was great about being in the condo. Rox was very communicative from the moment we booked. She made sure we were very comfortable and she is definitely the sweetest. The condo is not modern but has so much decor my young kids loved it and loved looking at everything on the walls. The condo was very clean and had the best view of the beach so we watched the waves come in all day. Rox is a great host and when we do go back, we know where to stay. :)

Thank you so so much. I only need 2 more 5 star reviews to be a premier host because of a bad review last year.. For all you had to do I was so happy that you had scheduled a day of rest but you probably still had to go home to rest from your vacation LOL. Someone renting one of the bayviews from Airbnb wanted to see my view as I was cleaning a perfectly clean condo. They walked in and said the condo was cute and they loved it. The view left them breathless they said. They said they would look at Vrbo and rent from me in the future. Thank you again.
Our stay at this condo was awsome. The landlord even left us a little gift. The condo was clean and the beach view was perfect. The landlord was quick to respond to text messages and emails. We will definitely stay here again.

I am so glad it worked out for you. As you know the view from a beachfront instead of a bayfront cannot be beat.
You were yet another guest that I cleaned a perfectly clean condo.
Thank you so much for having a great time and for leaving a great review. You can tell I provide LOVE!
Roxanas great customer service started before we even arrived. The view is AMAZING and its within walking distance to a lot of stuff. There were 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 children, and we had plenty of room. We will definitely be back.

This review is the only indication that you had actually stayed. Except for a couple nose prints (lol) on the balcony door, I never would have known that you were there. As usual, I was cleaning a perfectly clean condo. Thank you, thank.you so much for your kind review.
First and foremost, YES the condo is older. We were in town for a Beach tournament for our kids, we wanted close to the beach at an affordable price. We found exactly that. Rox was absolutely wonderful and kind. She has EVERYTHING you can imagine you may need, including all kinds of beach toys/needs that you can use. Again, the condo is older but everything worked fine for us with no issues. The view was GREAT and balcony was relaxing! North beach is literally right below you. Check in and check out was super easy also!

Thank you so so much. Thank you for discussing my reluctance to replace perfectly good things. If it ain't broke don't fix it (LOL) I recycled in my home state of Hawaii in 1967 30 years before Texas did it.
Also, as I always say, my 50 pictures give the true idea of what you get. Sleeper sofa is brand new as is the stove. Granite countertops are probably my only "modern" upgrade.
I try really hard to be wonderful and kind. Shucks, thank you....
Just imagine sitting on the balcony with the bay breeze blowing your hair. And top floor end, you hear no noise and don't see or hear your neighbor or the beach at all.
I remember the soccer days of my kids when their fields were always in different places and the same time so their father and I could only see one child at a time.
Now to be a premier host I only need 6 more 5 star reviews. 2 down and 6 to go (LOL).
"Mille grazie" again.
The condo was in a great location on a beautiful beach. We were very disappointed that the elevator was broken and we were on the fourth floor. I do understand that this isn't the owner's fault.

I am so afraid of reviews and normally don't request them. I had so many good reviews and now I only get bad ones. I only needed a few more good one's to get my rating back.
I now put on my listing that elevator is off and on, meaning mostly off.
I wish people would rate me instead of the complex of which I have no control and it upsets me.
Thank you for taking the time.

When we bought it we thought we would use it but life happened. But that said, North Beach is a nice quiet beach for families. The "ocean" is rather calm there and kids could play safely in the water. The beach is not crowded even for holidays.
Main thing, I try really hard to please. I believe its not always about money but money is good lol.
What makes this property unique
There are only 30 true Beach-front (PRIVATE BALCONY AND LARGER UNIT) at this complex and it is so much better than a bay-view (PUBLIC BALCONY AND A SMALLER UNIT). With a Beachfront you have a 180° panoramic view whereas with most bay-views you only have a 45° view. The small difference in price is worth it. Also top floor (no footsteps above you or no one to your right), at the end. Also there are only 4 units like mine (top floor, on the end) away from stairs and elevator noise.
