"The Erin" ~ a nautical condo with beach & pond view
"So hoist up the John B's sail," but you won't ever want to go home, not after you step into this one-of-a-kind (2nd floor) 1-bedroom condo (perfect for 2) with whimsical nautical décor. "Erin" is Irish for "peace" and that's what you'll get here, plus you'll feel like you've sailed away from it all! The stunning views from the balcony of the saltwater pond, of sand & sea, the dunes ~ are just beginning! It's just steps away from resort-style amenities: heated pool, hot tub, Finnish sauna, fitness gym + more...
Once you've relaxed in the beautifully furnished maritime living room, dining room, the equipped-to-the-hilt galley kitchen, you can "see how the mainsail sets" from the balcony or take a 5-minute stroll to the beach for a refreshing ocean swim, shell collecting, building sandcastles, shore fishing, parasailing ~ sky's the limit. Or simply hangout at the Beach Club resort-style pool, hot tub, jacuzzi, fitness gym and more. At the end of the day, you can catch all your favorite programing on the Spectrum cable / WiFi streaming smart-tv, then at long last sleep soundly on the plush pillow-top Queen-size bed. (Smart-tv in the bedroom, too.) Additional sleeping for 1 adult or 2 children in the living room's Queen-size IKEA sofa sleeper. Wake up to your own brew or fix some hospitality coffee or tea and all you've got to do is "just add water" to enjoy your first cup and first light on the balcony with a view. Like we said, you'll never want to go home. And by the way, “The Erin” is equipped with Spectrum’s high-speed WiFi connectivity for all your away-from-home business and online class needs. (((Please be advised that the Beach Club property does not have elevators in any of the buildings, and that "The Erin" is situated on the 2nd storey.)))
Please, NO PETS or EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: Our family has severe allergies and it is imperative that we keep our premises dog/cat dander-free. Folks with emotional support animals, regretfully, we must decline your inquiry to book due to this. While we understand your need, we cannot take the risk on our family's health, as this is our family's beach retreat. Much appreciated!

The Erin is a great place for a beach get away. Close to beach, shopping and other adventures. Provided amenities to be home away from home. Can't wait to return.
The host responded immediately and answered all my questions. We were very impressed with the property and it had all the luxuries of home. They thought of everything! We would definitely return.
What a fabulous home! I have stayed in many beach condos.. you can usually tell they are close to the beach (smell musty, etc.).. not this place. It was spotless, no musty smell or humidity. Then you walk out on the balcony and you can sit in the high chairs and hear the waves. It's truly lovely. I am thrilled to have found this location. I will definitely be back!!
Really enjoyed our stay. Place was really clean and very homey. Everything we needed was there. Definitely would recommend and would stay again.

My husband and I stayed there for our anniversary trip. It was a quiet area with beautiful views. The hosts are very thoughtful and left a small surprise for our anniversary.
The Erin was very clean and welcoming upon entering. Hosts are very responsive and have thought of everything. Would definitely recommend for a getaway for 2. Thanks for the opportunity to stay.
Wonderful property, owners are very knowledgeable hosts!!

The condo is so cute and amazing. It’s very comfy and welcoming. The property itself is amazing. It’s so close to the beach as well very short walking distance.we had an amazing time!
Thank you, Denash, for your most positive and concise review. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope you'll return to "The Erin" someday soon, or to any one of our (5) Beach Club condos. ~All our best, Richard & Marilyn
An excellent experience beginning with the ease of booking, the owner's quick response and comfortable, week long getaway. The condo was equipped with everything we needed. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting North Padre Island.
Everything was exactly as listed. Our time here was very relaxing and so close to anything we needed. Our hosts made certain we had lots of sunshine, still not sure how they pulled that off. Thank you Richard and Marilyn!
We visit the area frequently and this was our first stay at a condo vs a home. We loved the proximity to the beach. The condo itself was well appointed and owners were helpful and quick to respond. We stayed on the second floor and the guests above us were quite lively until about 4am. However, the condo itself, owners, and proximity were all so lovely we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for being such wonderful, gracious guests, even when the upstairs neighbors were not being considerate. We are very sorry your peace was disturbed, but we are blessed you would overlook that and definitely stay again. We would love to be your hosts again in the very near future. ~Most gratefully, Marilyn & Richard
About the host
Hosted by Alexis Journey
My wife and I, hosts of Splendid Condos-by-the-Sea, have traveled the globe while serving in full-time ministry. We enjoy returning to our favorite historic landmarks, especially in the highlands and islands of our beloved Scotland where we've hosted numerous tours. But closer to home, we now have a new favorite island to visit – North Padre Island of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Why they chose this property
Having been raised in Santa Monica, California, we are beach people to the core. There’s something about the beach that is restorative and relaxing – the sound of waves, the expanse of the sea, and its wind blowing sea air on the face, and even the sound of squawking seagulls. And for us, a strong presence of God and the display of His awesome power is ever present at the beach. It’s hard to describe. As Vrbo Premier hosts of this splendid condo by the sea we call "The Erin," we'd love for you to experience it all, too. Ahhh, for the simple beach life, we invite you!
What makes this property unique
In whimsical nautical style, "The Erin" is not only a "sailors delight" kind of place, but it is also a place of peace and beauty to just about everybody. The views from both livingroom and bedroom are amazing! You've got the saltwater lake below you and the beach view in the horizon, and you won't believe the awesome sunsets you'll view from the picture windows or balcony. Like we said, you'll never want to go home.
