Clean, but older property.

Property was very clean. Nice place and it is close to the beach. I would stay here again, just not when I take a bunch of fishing gear. The unit is on the second floor and we had to unload and load my pickup every day. But, for a beach get away it is nice. Property is older and has expected wear and tear, but was clean and a/c worked great. Bed was not very comfortable, but it did not keep us from sleeping.

Not a good experience with this rental

When I first came in the breakers were off, there was no light, and I still could not figure out how to fix the hallway light and the laundry room Light would not turn on, so it was always dark every time I would walk in. I was not happy that the restroom did not have a door and also the mattress was very hard and squeaky. And the sliding door was so hard to open and close. And dryer didn’t dry my clothes.

Clean Place But Lightly stocked and Hard to Sleep

Condo was very clean. Bed not very comfortable and noise from neighbors walking on floor above was very frustrating. Coffe Pot carafe was broken but I didn't notice until an entire pot of coffee split on counter to be cleaned up. Sliding glass door very hard to open and close the the point where I rarely used it in fear of breaking it. That took a lot away from the condo. Kitchen sparsely furnished. Overall I just wasn't impressed and lost a lot of sleep due to neighbors on 3rd floor walking.

Nice place

Should you feel the need to visit Corpus Christi this is a nice place to stay. Only draw back is that the walls are pretty thin and you can hear the neighbors.

Great spot!

I wanted to find something close to the beach for our family Spring Break vacation - this spot was great! Plenty of room and great options to be able to make a few dinners instead of eating out the whole time. Really clean and easy to get around to different beaches and within 30 minutes to the Lexington and Aquarium. Would definitely recommend for other families!

Convenient and comfortable

As I told management company, there are some maintainence and cleaning issues that should be addressed, but it is convenient for stores and restaurants. Even though it was windy, it was nice to sit on balcony. Overall, it was clean and comfortable.

Great location!

The property was clean and in a great location. The only issue we had was it rained the whole time and when we tried the tv it was very staticky, which was probably due to the bad weather. Overall we liked the property.

Great Fishing trip relaxing beach get away!

This condo is a perfect get away for two!! We enjoyed the bay water views from the living space area and liked the open space area!! Truly enjoyed the morning coffee on the patio!! This area is very quiet which is a nice break from the beach!! Very relaxing!! However I would suggest doing an upgrade for the furniture!!

Bring a flashlight and lantern so you don't get injured

Dryer don't dry. Lights don't light. Door don't door. Service don't service. We've stayed in this unit before in 2023 and things were good. Not so this time. The dryer don't dry, the lights don't light, the sliding door don't door, and the oven don't oven. After the first night, none of the lights from apart from the kitchen and dining area worked- basically anything on a switch was dead. That includes the bedroom, the living room, the entry hallway, and the laundry room. You'd better shower during the day when there's still light coming in the windows, because otherwise you'll be completely in the dark. Brushing your teeth in the dark is fun. The closet is useless since it's dark all day without electricity. I bonked my head a few times. The baffling part is that the front door light switches work for the exterior light (it's super dim, and you need it to see the door buttons at night because they're not lit), but the switch on the same panel for the hallway light doesn't work. You can barely see to run your laundry, which will take 16 hours to dry 4 swimsuits. The welcome pack that includes laundry and dish detergent makes you think that you can get your clothes clean, but it's just a tease. The washer will throw your 3 articles of clothing around like a boulder is chasing Indiana Jones out of a cave, but the dryer will just make a ton of noise and pretend to blow hot air. Like the service people. The sliding door to the miniscule balcony is so hard to move that you think you're going to derail it before you get it open. That's ok though, you won't be spending much time out there even though the view is nice. Dishes were covered in food in the dishwasher. The oven shows random temps. Service was non-existent. I called the provided service number at 7:30am the first morning. They said they would send maintenance and call me when they were there at the unit- that never happened. Another call at 4:00pm yielded the same- promises but no action. Three more nights, still nothing, even with emails and texts to the other provided service contacts. I guess Vacasa is just there to collect money and pretend like something is going to happen? There's another review from 2023 a few months after I stayed the first time- they complained about electrical problems too. Other old reviews mention the sliding door issue. I guess nothing ever gets fixed in that unit. Next year the ceiling probably won't even be there. On top of all this, there's a downstairs unit neighbor that's clearly and owner and who does NOT appreciate renters living in the condo complex. They (several of them) follow you and your kids around, ask lots of probing questions, and generally just stare intently while you try to go about your day. Creepy. One thousand percent do NOT recommend staying here. Avoid at all costs. Or maybe come stay and shoot a new Blair Witch in your horror condo? I will also never book another property that's managed by Vacasa. Forget it. They're useless.

1st Annual Sister Trip!

The condo looks exactly as it does in the pictures. The mattresses were pretty squeaky when trying to get in/out of bed. The above neighbors sounded like they were rearranging their furniture from about 9:30-12 each night, but other than that, it was a quiet spot! Great location, about 25 minutes to Port Aransas beach. The only downside is that the couch has been loved on quite a lot and looks grimy and dated. Overall, we had a great stay!

Great location

This was a nice condo in a great location. The parking was easy and plentiful. The view of the canal from The balcony is so pretty. The previous reviews were spot on. The beds were a little creaky, the upstairs neighbors sounded like they were moving their furniture every day/night, and the sofa and pillows could stand to be replaced or deep cleaned. One more trash bag would have been helpful, hand soap for the bathrooms would be nice, and the container in the laundry room with “complimentary detergent” was empty but those are just little inconveniences. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Would recommend to others.
