About this property
"Carmel" deluxe 1st-floor 2-bedrm condo by pool, pond & beach
No wonder Tommy Bahama wants to spend an endless summer (year-round!) at "The Carmel" ~ and you would, too, even if only for a week or a weekend! This (1st-floor) 2-bedroom showcase condo, furnished in classy-coastal-cottage décor, is only a stroll away from Whitecap Beach, and is just steps away from all Beach Club resort-style amenities ~ pool, hot tub, Finnish sauna, gym. Yet you'll sense a quiet peace at "The Carmel” with its private patio views of the fishing pond, the beckoning beach, and more...
It's all here! As far as all your Internet needs, "The Carmel" is equipped with fast-speed WiFi, the latest Spectrum cable, and 2 smart TVs, so you won't need to skip a beat with work or school, nor with your favorite programs. Has equipped-to-the-hilt kitchen and even a full-size washer & dryer for all your beachcomber laundry needs. Sleeping configurations include King-size in master bedroom, Queen-size in guest bedroom, Queen-size sofa bed in living room, plus portable youth-size folding cot, AND baby's pack-'n-play, too.
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!
We named this splendid condo "The Carmel" because it reminds us of our California honeymoon location, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and this “Carmel” is also by the sea ~ actually only a 5-minute stroll to lovely Whitecap Beach. You couldn’t be any closer to all the water sports imaginable like fishing, boating, parasailing, windsurfing, you name it. Furthermore, it’s only a short drive to Padre Island National Seashore ~ the world's longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island. It all adds up to "The Carmel” being the ideal beach resort-style condo retreat for everyone ~ families, couples, honeymooners, wedding guests, babymooners, small groups (up to 6), plus baby – and yes, Tommy Bahama, too!
NEEDING MULTIPLE VACATION RENTALS IN ONE COMPLEX? For wedding guests, business retreats, family reunions, church or club retreats? As Vrbo Premier Partners we have recently acquired (5) Beach Club condos in all ~ (3) one-bedroom condos, and (2) two-bedroom condos ~ all at the Beach Club! Two of our one-bedroom condos are next door to each other for when you want that friendly/family closeness.
Each of our vacation rental condos featured on Vrbo has its own name and listing that you can spot ~ "Avalon" ~ "Brighton" ~ "Carmel" ~ "Dover" and "The Erin" ~ and each is splendid and uniquely decorated. If you are interested in booking any one of our condos or multiple condos, please copy/paste the links below in your browser, check for availability, and if you're ready to book, you can simply follow the booking prompts. Or for inquiries, simply click on the link "Ask owner a question." We'd love to be your Vrbo Premier hosts at . . .

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 Carmel," we'd love for you to experience it all, too. Ahhh, for the simple beach life, we invite you!
