READ ALL... Booking means you Agree to Terms and Conditions.

**UPDATE: PROGRESS PROGRESS PROGRESS. After 17 months I now have a railing, walls, & a wooden floor on the balcony whereas before there was nothing but a 4 story drop when you opened the door. My repeat guests said no to having their children die. The only thing missing now is a now slip paint on the floor. But other balconies are still being worked on so there still might be constant dust.

PLEASE SCAMMERS LEAVE ME ALONE! I know your trick.


**I AM NO LONGER A PREMIER HOST. 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE REQUIRED. I am very upset at the system where one review kicks me out.

**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.

**Summer 2022, 2 different guests let their child draw all over my freshly painted walls & toilet. I am not a happy camper at the moment. Very few guests that summer have followed my "leave it as you left it" so I now have to charge a cleaning fee. Sorry but a few ruin it for everyone.

**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. Anything less than a 5 star review gets me in trouble. COMPLEX STILL NEEDS WORK
!**New guests=MONEY SENT TO VRBO ONLY! *RIGHT ON BEACH, not just beach view

**Min.2-3 nights(3=$746.75 TOTAL PRICE summer) for more relaxed vacation(1 week TOTAL=$1,471.29 summer)4 days min. Memorial day & July 4th whereby others raise rates(4=$1,001.00 TOTAL PRICE)

**Inquires usually answered within an hour daytime.

**COMPARE TOTAL PRICE: VIEW DETAILS for extra fees I don't have(owners, cleaning., manager, deposits)& my DISCOUNTS:WEEKLY=15% buy 6 nights get one free. MONTHLY= 62%

**8 AM CHECK IN'S & 5 PM CHECK OUTS. Some charge $65.00/ hour for this.24/7 check ins most days

**HONEST PRICE:BEYOND MY CONTRO taxes(30 days+=no tax),VRBO,& complex $15.00 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.

*Complex finishing TEXAS FREEZE REPAIRS.NO FITNESS ROOM YET. 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.

(working on getting bedroom tv to work) *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 45 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 . I do not monitor it except check out day to know when to clean.

**If you need another condo, I am Unit #2300 = 2nd building,3rd floor, unit 00)

**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 50 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)was really bad but now it has new management & 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). My condo is very kid friendly with one of the BEST 180° PANORAMIC VIEW at this complex(20 miles in each direction). Condo is 480 SQUARE FEET whereas typical hotel room is 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 6 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 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.

**PETS: NO pets, but Barkaritaville pet resort will board animals in luxurious conditions.

**I used to charge no cleaning free nor manager fees as I expect guests to leave condo as they found it. I then clean, sanitize it completely & wash linens(IN CLOSET)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.

**After 7 years, I raised rates SLIGHTLY. Most guests book early.

**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. When paid in full, you receive one time code to door.

**Visitors guide & guest book in condo.

**Mail box key for long stays.

**Every time Make sure door is locked when you leave.

Unexpected issues.

We were on the third floor in building 2. The property manager decided that the elevator was going to be replaced. Us being not so young we couldn't do that many stairs so we left one month early. Our host was very good and refunded most of the second month. Vrbo would not refund their portion

Great Hospitality and cozy condo!

WONDERFUL, CLEAN, RELAXING CONDO filled with anything we would ever need

When I saw that last review, I was shocked because that is not the condo and Rox is not the person described in that review (She has never been rude, always communicated well, and the condo is extremely clean). When I first went to Villa Del Sol, I WAS IN 9TH GRADE and it was spring break. I discovered Rox’s condo in 2017 and have been staying there once or twice a year ever since then but I have never found the need to write a review until now. I have NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS and have always found it ABSOLUTELY CLEAN, as have almost all of her 57 reviews (Can one person be right and all those other reviews be wrong???). When she is booked and I have to stay in another condo, I am always disappointed: from my 3 kids expecting toys, to a condo having only one pot to cook for a family of 5 (Rox has a pot for everything, many of them, as well as anything you might need for cooking including spices). Some condos only have one towel also. Rox has plenty including beach towels. I have also had some very filthy condos and this condo has always been perfectly clean. But, when those other condos were filthy, I called the owner right away and it was cleaned for me right away, which is what that unhappy guest should also have done as Rox explains in her listing. Rox sometimes comes to visit when I invite her and my kids love her. I have and will ALWAYS STAY AT THE SANDS OF TIME when available as every condo and every owner is different. My brother’s family always comes and so we rent a total of 2 condos (Rox only has one condo however, and it would be perfect if she owned 2 condos). Everyone ends up visiting in Rox’s condo because it is usually the best and cooking for everyone is possible. If they get a bayview they come to this condo for the spectacular, relaxing view. WE WILL BE BACK and hopefully we can book early enough to get this WONDERFUL, CLEAN, RELAXING CONDO filled with anything we would ever need, knowing my brother’s family will probably not have as good of a condo that I always have. My family looks forward to this condo every year. That said, I highly recommend this condo and should you ever have any problems, just call her because as she says, she is 10 minutes away. You can tell, in her words, she aims to please. Her EARLY CHECK INS AND LATE CHECK OUTS policy is not offered by anyone else and it makes it such a not rushed vacation. It also is like having 2 EXTRA DAYS FOR FREE.

The condo is filthy and smells bad. Cleanliness is NOT a luxury. There is dust and grease caked on numerous surfaces throughout. I felt like I had to wash my hands every time I touched anything. The fridge stinks and there isn't even anything in it! The floors are covered with dirty stained rugs. When I lay down in the bed I felt depressed. The room smelled so bad. There is a huge stain on the comforter! No one can relax in that setting. When I left off sightseeing and realized I had to go back to that condo my heart sank. The stove is so gross; there's no way I would cook on it. Everywhere I looked there was a film of grease and dirt - pictures on the wall, electrical outlets, everywhere! The owner treated me terribly even though I started off trying to be tactful about the problem but I couldn’t just pretend to be happy because of the view - I had to check out two days early (of four nights) because of the dirt and smell and then of course Expedia and VRBO were useless in helping me get a partial refund. I will be ending my stays with them as well and just booking direct; they aren’t cheaper and are all about collecting their fees. The owner is correct that the view is nice but that does not make up for staying in a filthy disgusting condo. I've never ever ever left a place in the middle of a vacation and I've traveled all over the world. I’m sure you get the message; I would give zero stars if I could. The condo is not in rentable condition.

Great place, and awesome owner

Enjoyed our stay. All the little details were a cute touch. The view was stunning. The owner kept an eye on the weather/wind conditions so we knew when it was best to look for the dolphins. She was very good with communicating and check in/check out instructions were very clear. The place was clean with sufficient linens. Sitting on the porch listening to the waves or the more private beach, are perfect. All you have to do is look towards the Lexington and see how important having your own beach is for relaxing and enjoying the water. We will definitely stay again when we are in Corpus.

Felt like home

My review is going to be for my overall stay as well as the actual Condo Building (Villa Del Sol) I read the reviews and I, like some, was leary when you see some. But I also keep in mind that some are very picky and I am not. I arrived and check in was easy. Rox was very helpful. For me it felt like home. There is so many places I have been that it was nice to actually feel at home. Rox's place has that inviting feel to it. For some they felt the place was "outdated", well I am not quite sure what they meant. It is a vacation place, and for me home for just over a month. The owners have gone above and beyond to supply anything and everything you could think of. Tons of stuff for the beach/toys/boogie boards etc. Under the bunk beds are some misc toys. Lots of movies. They even have Ice Cream Sundae dishes, along with just about everything else you could need! To me it was the perfect little vacation/or in my case second home. I would rather bring my family here than a hotel room anytime. The bed was super comfy. I did sleep on the couch one night and it was comfortable but I didn't sleep on the actual pull out bed. I haven't come across a pull out bed that I have ever thought was comfortable but that is just me. The bunk beds were nice. There was lots of cleaning supplies, I even bought some stuff and left it for the next one. There is Cable and Wifi so that was also a bonus. I know to some that are expected brand new everything anyplace they go, but honestly they shouldn't it's not practical at a place like this in my opinion. The owners have their place decorated/designed around the fact that it's a vacation spot, and right at a beach. I found it to be perfect for me. My final review for this Condo was the VIEW. OMG! There was nothing more perfect than that for me. Being right on the water front and watching the sunrises was just breath taking. Being able to sit on the balcony after a long day at work and hear the waves crashing... I am going to miss it for sure. Now for the final which isn't the owners fault. I was there when Texas lost power. Our area had no power for 6 days/water at this Condo was out for 8 days. The elevator did not work 4 times prior to this outage, and hasn't worked since the outage, not the owners fault, but Villa Del Sol should be ashamed. The owners gave me a refund which was very nice of them. They are very helpful and nice people. I would come back here anytime.

Classically Comfy Beach Condo

To start... Roxanne was extremely informative before our stay. Communication with her was very easy. The condo is a beach front. The views were fantastic. We stayed for 8 nights, so we had a chance to really enjoy ourselves. From morning hot tea on the balcony too watching the waves from the comfy couch on a rainy day... everyday at the beach is a good day!!! The condo is as described. Small but perfect for my husband and I. Some of the most resent reviews had problems, we had non of that. In fact we loved our stay soo much we will be making this getaway a regular thing. To be honest there was a problem with elevator periodically during our stay. They were working to get it fixed. The wonderful workers at the front office are more than happy to help when the elevator was down.. I have not let this problem effect my review because it is not something that Roxanne has control over. I would and will recommend a stay at this Classically Comfy Beach Condo!!!

Disappointed

I was not going to rate this place,but didn't want anyone eles to be disappointed. If you can live in a very dirty environment, this is your place. If you want to get exercises going up and down four flights of stairs ( was not told the elevator was broken down) this is your place. The owner was easy to get ahold of but it didn't help much. She offered for us to stay another night for free but why would we???? There was no way we could sleep on that bed another night ( not comfortable at all).Their was a lot of cleaning supplies there. In the hot water closet all around the hot water heater( not safe). You will have to clean when you get there. Decor looked like it was from the thrift store or was bought in 1960's. A couple of good points. View and location was nice. I know the owner will have a rebuttal. She it good at that but beware!!!

WARNING*

However our overall stay on the beach was okay but our experience in the condo was not. We stayed in 2300 great view. Having a condo on the beach is going to be hard to keep the floor clean and we understand that but everything else was filthy. Counters and cupboards were sticky and had dropping from bugs, possibly mice. Dishes dirty, fridge had hairs stuck all inside. They put water in the soap dispensers. Bed quality was awful we even tried the pull out couch which was full of crumbs and sand. When the hurricane hit it came with tornado warnings for certain counties, we asked her where we were. Her response was Bolivia?!?!?! Quality of condo was awful the place is run down and the owner of the room didn't really seem to care about the cleanliness..During the pandemic this should be a priority, when commented on this she admitted to us she dosen't clean between people!!! Just awful.. If you feel like cleaning before you stay this is your place.

Exactly what I needed!!

I was very happy with this place, it is right and I mean right on the beach and the view, loved the view!!! I went for a change of scenery and a hopeful shift of mood in this very uncertain time. This place was perfect for me. It is located towards the least busy section of North Beach, which made it nice for being and walking the beach. I loved reading on the couch and looking at the ocean so peaceful. Something that was important to me as well was communication and I have to say Rox is a great communicator and kept me up to date with communications she received and answered any and all of my questions quickly and effectively. The condo has everything you need, I will be back thanks Rox!!

Sands of Time Condo is Corpus Done Right

I took my son for the 4th of July weekend during COVID and we really enjoyed our stay! Rox is an amazing hostess, full of great suggestions and tips, and she responds to questions immediately - she really does want you to have a great time. About the condo, we had everything we needed - all we brought was food and Rox supplied the rest. The bed was comfy and spacious. There is so much storage to utilize that if you do, the condo will seem even bigger. The patio is really right on the beach! I sat outside for hours relaxing and reading while the ocean waves were right there. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back next time we go to Corpus!

View of beach

The location of the condo is perfect, right off of the stair well then literally 50 steps to the beach. Could use a new umbrella and chairs but overall the view takes the cake.

Best for 2 adults and small children

The view is perfect. Right on beach. Location is good. The bunks are very narrow. Not wide enough for teens to be comfy. Definitely could use some updates.

I hope you will consider booking from me.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

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.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

There are only 45 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 6 units like mine (top floor, on the end) away from stairs and elevator noise.
